Thank you. I see lots of vandalism, breaking and entering, blocking business entrances, and such. They are well organized and committed. They seem to have some success with that as in companies divesting or stopping to supply. Pretty impressive.
Going after the RAF for a tenuous connection to Israel was a bit too daring and turned out to be a mistake.
The free palestine crowd contains and covers for antisemites among their ranks.
Some kind of police is necessary. Public order needs to be kept, laws enforced, crime fought, dangers prevented. A state monopoly on violence is not a terrible idea and needs to be enforced somehow.
What kind of powers, tasks, oversight, and so on police gets is the issue.
they have actually been extraordinarily successful at damaging the economic machine behind the genocide through targeted and sustained sabotage campaigns against Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer and their supporters, like Barclays Bank
Can you recommend some reading on this?
The movie references the splintering of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).
Those planes deserved to be vandalized. Hell, they deserved to be set on fire. It’s a shame they weren’t destroyed completely. If those planes are being used to carry out a genocide, then they should be destroyed.
The planes were totally unrelated to what’s going on in Gaza.
Destroying planes that are bound to assist in bombing in Gaza
What’s the indication these planes would do that? Israel doesn’t even need British tanker planes to fly the tiny distance to Gaza.
Does this combination work for you? Have you tried an SNRI like venlafaxin?
It’s quite easily readable for me as well.
specifically since the last 21 months
This war was triggered by a horrific and unprecedented attack on Israeli civilians on October 7th. A very destructive war in a dense urban setting against an extremely deeply entrenched fanatic enemy hiding among civilians.
There have also been war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity.
If you compare the physical destruction of buildings with the number of killed Palestinians, it becomes pretty obvious that killing the people is not a priority war goal.
There is pretty horrific rhetoric during war times, which has enabled war crimes.
Any other government would have surrendered long ago. Hamas refuses to do so, despite the immense military superiority of the IDF, regardless of the destruction and loss of life it costs.
What are the other pills?
any Israeli citizen currently living there (that wasn’t born there) is a first generation colonizer
Israel is a country of refugees. They came in many waves fleeing from pogroms in the Russian Empire, persecution in Yemen, the Holocaust, the Farhud in Iraq, and so on. They didn’t come to a land of opportunity to become rich like in the USA. They came looking for a safe place to live, not a persecuted minority for once, a place that would have them. Most did not have any other place to go.
Many of those immigrants are not European (or North American).
The majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi from the Middle East.
That’s a very popular strawman you have there.
Israelis have been protesting the war and the Israeli government lots and consistently, including members of the IDF.
with the bizarre notion that Israel-born Israelis can just be shipped back to where their ancestors came from in Europe
The majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi who came from Middle Eastern countries. They are also the political base of Likud and other right wingers. Itamar Ben Gvir is an Iraqi Jew for example. The Ashkenazi (European) Jews are more likely to be center and left.
Of course Western activists don’t know any of that. For them Israelis = white = European = evil, Palestinians = brown = good is the only model to understand the world. Palestinians and Jewish Israelis are indistinguishable just from looks. Both have pretty varied phenotypes from blond to black.
Zionism is self determination of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, currently expressed in the state of Israel. Denying only the Jewish people the right to self determination is antisemitic.
Antizionism in practice means calling for the abolishment of the state that protects half of the world’s Jewish people.
Zionism and supporting two states is compatible.
literally cause a holocaust on the Palestinian people for the last 70+ years
Either you don’t know what happened during the Holocaust, or you don’t know what happens to Palestinians. These are in not the same, very far from it.
This is Holocaust relativism, bordering on denial.
That said. Palestinians are oppressed and deserve better. Your antisemitic incitement does not help them.
You are misrepresenting the meaning of the term antisemitism. It’s a more polite and scientific sounding word for Jew hatred. That’s it’s only meaning, it has nothing to do with Palestinians. Look it up.
Trying to soften and twist the meaning of antisemitism is antisemitic.
white “anarchist” kids were yelling “Mothers, daughters, all are martyrs!” I
The alliance between progressives and Islamists is frightening and cursed.
Self styled Anarchists flying the nationalist flag of the Palestinians is another oxymoron.
Well one happened in living memory
Then we just wait another 30 years and it’s okay.
Settler-colonialism in the continental US didn’t end until 1953. Israel was founded in 1948.
people are still living in the houses of displaced people
Millions of people were displaced in Europe and other places of the world during the 1940s, who never got to go back and claim their lost property. 900,000 Jews had to leave Middle Eastern countries in the 1940s and 50s and often lost their property over the course of that.
Few people are consistent in their worldview and actions.
Had a crunchy hippie lecture me about the danger of the covid vaccine, because you don’t know what’s in it. This was at a house party during covid, where she smoked cigarettes, snorted ketamine, MDMA, and mephedrone.
