Agreed. Feels like grief whenever I think about it knowing the current trajectory, to be honest.

Which is why Jews across the world have said Israel is genuinely the greatest source of danger to them in terms of antisemitism - because it has linked its atrocities to their identity, regardless of their personal support.

Because Palestine is a multifaith, multicultural country and Israel is a colonial foothold & apartheid that is actively and systemically trying to erase both Palestine and Palestinians.

Resistance is justified, oppression is not.

Read the fourth, most recent IPCC report - it’s essentially a metastudy synthesising a lot of hard science.

The picture is grim.

Sorry you don’t like their tone but they’re right.

Only if you’re ethically bankrupt, or a liberal.

Cop is a distraction. A meeting to schedule a meeting to schedule proposing a plan for a potential framework to reduce the environmental impact of participating Nations.

Meanwhile, the planet is being killed by people with names and addresses.

There it is. The thinly veiled Islamophobia.

I doubt that’s going to work in the Hague.

Neither were the churches. Or the hospitals. Or the UN facilities. Or the Schools. Or the desalination plant. Or the tents filled with refugees. Or the graves of Australian soldiers. Or Palestinian civilians. Or the greenhouses.

Do you understand?

Oh mate - that just would make them authoritarians. They’re already fascist.

Does someone have to spell out to you what an insurgency is? Or what asymmetric fighting is?

Is the IOF really so incompetent it has no access to the last 40 years of American imperialist strategy? Or can we drop the facade of logic and say this is about causing as much collateral damage/trauma as possible soas to cleanse Palestine of Palestinians.

The world knows a frontier war when we see one.

Israel is a violent settler apartheid. No.

Don’t you have a flag to wave over a razed hospital somewhere?

Exactly. The only language violence respects or listens to is violence.

It’s the tolerance paradox - and why it’s a death sentence to tolerate groups or people who won’t reciprocate tolerance.

Doesn’t mean they should get away with it.

Yeah, America really needs to get its shit together and shrug of corporate capture.

I mean, it’s far right attacks on left-leaning politicians. I can see where they’re coming from - it’s reminiscent of the brown shirts.

Agreed. This was a copout.

They’re a last-ditch liberation movement with four discreet wings of praxis, dude. Moreover, the Palestinian Authority is collaborationist with occupying forces - this isn’t about manufacturing an endless war, though I’m sure Lockheed Martin and Elbit shareholders would love that - this is about reclaiming tangible avenues for political agency that were either captured or outright denied, violently, by ‘Israel’.

You disagree, sure, but you don’t seem to understand the inhuman scale, decades of systemic violence, a population has to endure to make violence the only mutually understood language left.

Also - to your point - it doesn’t help how many peaceful community leaders, politicians and organizers have been assassinated by the IOF and settlers in the last 75 years. Democracy, as presented by the PA, was never earnest or effectual in occupied Palestine - it was always a membrane of indigenous skin stretched over the occupiers demands.
