שלום
No idea what’s the message here but I cropped the bottom pic and sent it to the group chat
That’s a reasonable explanation, cheers for taking the time and hearing me out
Everyone here is distinguishing between Zionists and Jews
OP is talking about a tendency in the back of their head to link the two too much. I know communists are more aware of the distinction. I’m also well aware that Hamas, and for that matter all Palestinian resistance entities do. But outside of here the situation is different, and what I was trying to say it that nobody is immune to propaganda so there’s no need to whip yourself if you mess up that distinction, because it’s messed up everywhere else. Just gotta be more careful outside of here because Zionists will pick up on that, if they haven’t already shoved it to your mouth.
there has never been one accusation of rape that stuck beyond atrocity propaganda
Absolutely my bad, sorry for spreading misinformation. I went and checked and the only evidence of sexual abuse is that video of the girl in the tender, Shani Louk, and the rest of the accusations are unverified. I found a Zionist confessing it, claiming she went and asked people that reported rape in the festival but they gave incoherent testimonies. My apologies regarding the rape thing again and the beheading as well. I needed to separate the wheat from the chaff better before writing it
However the targeting of civilians isn’t just propaganda, some of my colleagues’ relatives have been involved, one of them killed in that music festival and the other was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri, also my neighbor’s sister live in Nahal Oz and experienced the Hamas patrols walking around the town and breaking into homes killing/kidnapping people. And idk of anyone who’s denying it, all pro-Palestinian outlets that I follow acknowledge it. For example +972 mag.
This is usual resistance and I’m not sure they’re able to target solely military entities, because up until recently the Gazan border was patrolled heavily. Only a week ago many of its forces were moved to the West Bank in order to back up settler terror attacks for the Sukkot holiday.
Also there are the rockets targeting mostly-Jewish civilian areas. But again, it’s not too dramatic, and not at all the first instance of armed trolling of civilians of an occupying entity.
Very strange things to say for a 1 day old account from another instance
That’s fair. If it’s of any help, this is my previous account from before I messed up my personal instance and had to wipe it
Huh I just opened Twitter and saw the first based tweet in Hebrew I’ve seen in the last few days claiming what I claimed in the 4th paragraph, and it gathered a considerable amount of likes. It’s happening?
As long as it’s not configured by GUI I’m grateful 🙏😔
I feel comfortable saying it here although I haven’t said it to anyone I know: The Israeli/Hebrew propaganda right now tries SO HARD to compare Hamas with Nazis, capitalizing on “Murdered JewsTM”, that I really did not fall off the chair when seeing the “gas the Jews” video from Sydney.
If you can distinguish Zionists from Jews, that’d be cool, but I’ll give you the Jew Pass for not doing so, because that connection is our fault exclusively.
Antisemitism is such a beautiful excuse for what’s happening right now. They’re not wrong, it exists and we truly are a persecuted people, but we’re also war criminals. Israeli history textbooks are written in a way that emphasizes the former while completely (completely) sleeps on the latter. The narrative is clean and makes so much sense: persecuted Jews coming from the holocaust just wanted to return to their homes but they were persecuted there too 🥺 (which is wrong, early settlers weren’t part of the holocaust, they came way beforehand. and the post-holocaust Jews only started migrating two years after the Nakba)
I’m so disappointed by my leftist friends here who seem so shocked of the Hamas attacks but cannot take right now the reality that these same pictures are circling from Gaza for years. They seem to think that not murdering babies with bare hands but rather with nukes makes us somehow morally superior. Why can’t they understand the power imbalance? And why can’t they remember that almost every other occupied people resisted in such gruesome, inhumane ways? Would my friends with Algerian ancestry talk that way about their grandparents, knowing some of their people also beheaded children and committed rape during the war? Is it really they’re “human animals”, or… maybe you just lose some of your humanity after that many years of occupation?
You know what, you don’t even have to go as far as Algeria, the Nakba itself included raping of Palestinians, but it isn’t widely known here :/
Feel free to ask anything btw, but please try to show some empathy, I’m well aware that I’m on the colonizing side and there’s no need to remind me of that, and no I don’t think leaving is the best I can do right now. Thanks I’m just a bit agitated rn
Yep, I pay services such as Fastmail and Kagi monthly with no hesitation. Either I pay or I get spied on, what kinda lame ass deal is it if both happen?
org-mode :P
