I like you and your brain actually works unlike some people's (sometimes). You definitely know more about history than the average leftist I've seen online, like I learn a lot from you. Still kinda r worded tho~ <3
absolutely incredible how journalists cannot take ultimately toothless online criticism from trans women when we have to take the full force of the institutional media to the face every time they whisper to the government that taking more rights away from trannies would be good for pageviews
For 75 years, the Israeli war strategy was to take bold moves to end the war as soon as possible. The IDF is mainly a reservists army, and the consensus was that the Israeli society and economy cannot withstand long wars. Netanyahu broke with that consensus, and not for any strategic reasons.
Haaretz reports that top military officials and Netanyahu's advisors are seriously discussing the expulsion of all civilians from north Gaza and placing a complete siege on that territory (aka the Eiland plan), allowing no food or fuel to go through.
Hasbara enthusiasts who suddenly care about Palestinian civilians, when they are killed by Hamas Hamas fans who suddenly care about Israeli civilians, when they are killed by the IDF Please spare us your faux outrage
in the same way i do not believe it legitimate to kill palestinians because "they voted for hamas" i do not believe it legitimate to kill zionists because "they support the occupation"
i can recognize palestinians have every right to resist the israeli military by any means necessary without also being excited about it. i refuse to acknowledge that there is ever a legitimate cause to kill civilians or that such should ever be minimized because of the politics of the civilians.
if you want palestinians to have equality and freedom and to see their right of return recognized and for israel to be charged at the ICC but you DON'T want to see your family members in israel mass-murdered, you apparently don't actually care about palestinians
Jewish anti-zionist writer, Amanda Gelender, writes about the Palestinian freedom struggle conjuring the spirit of Jewish ancestors who also resisted fascism by any means necessary.
As @considerthefish.bsky.social wrote in an X thread, it's evident from the Atlantic piece on Israel sabotaging the hostage release, that Americans in general and US Jews particularly refuse to come to terms with the depravity of the Kahanist regime, and how entrenched it is. It doesn't sink in.
Dear American Jews. If you speak or think about Israel: Think of your worst scenarios for a second Trump administration. That's more or less where Israel is now.
