If anyone hasnt, i fully recommend the Channel 5 w/ Andrew Callaghan episode where they travel to West Bank/Israel and get real eyewitness accounts of everything. There is a full segment there by an American journalist that was targeted by israel among a bunch of other journalists. Israel is without a doubt committing war crimes.
I almost forgot about him. Didn't he get caught up in some sexual assault accusations or something like that, and then he stopped making content?
Jesus Fucking Christ. Imagine having to film the death of your brother, who you were talking to minutes before. One second, he was checking on his wife, and the next he was trapped in a burning car.
I cannot rationalize the actions of Israel. No one should be able to. Cruelty to this level should not be allowed, yet the Western hegemony is turning a blind eye to the suffering in Gaza.
The IDF is a terrorist organization.
Apparently telling the truth is antisemitic.
As a Jewish (living in "Israel") person I have regularly been called antisemitic and even fascist for saying "hey maybe we shouldnt be killing children"
gasps you're an antisemite!
As a German born two generations later than our country's atrocities versus Jewish people and the world, I am absolutely and without a doubt firm in my support for the right of existence of the state of Israel (I just think they should have taken the land from the Germans, or offered the Palestinians part of Germany, after all, the Germans were the insane mass murdering fuckheads that caused this clusterfuck). That said, I also always sympathized with the plight of the Palestinian people.
Being fully aware of our historical responsibility to stand with the people of Israel, I can say with absolute certainty that the current regime of Israel is led by monsters who commit war crimes faster than we can count them, and that all those monsters should be dragged to the ICC in The Hague in chains, and hopefully put in prison for the rest of their lives. Netanyahu is and always has been first and foremost a career criminal who has sought nothing but his own gains, and when the Israeli judiciary goes after him, he finds ways to start wars to distract from his own corruption. Literally washing his hands in the blood of the Palestinian (and Lebanese) people.
The last time I saw real progress in the Israeli/Palestinian peace process, was under Yitzhak Rabin - and he was murdered by a rightwing extremist Jewish settler.
Having seen films of the aftermath of German atrocities, films that made me gag and shed tears in horror and in sympathy with the victims, I believe that "never again!" is inextricably linked to fighting Jewish extremism and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, because both of them fuel antisemitism, and the misdirected anger of the families of victims will again lead to senseless slaughter, typically of innocent Israeli citizens.
You could say that zionism is anti-semitic at its core.
This horror has been a blood feud since the foundation of the state of Israel - and the only way out of this is to STOP THE %^#$% KILLING! No matter which side feels that it's current "their turn" to get revenge.
No Ethnostate has a right to exist. The right way to tackle the rampant antisemitism in Europe would have been (and still is) to enshrine protections that guarantee civil rights to Jewish people and not limit the amount of refugees seeking asylum.
Zionism is certainly anti-Semitic at it's core, it other-izes Jewish people, and justifies the violent settler colonialim of Israel as in the defense of all Jewish people, which only serves to further fuel genuine Antisemitism at the expense of Jewish people globally.
Zionism is, of course, inherently fascist. The ethnic cleansing of the native people of Palestine has always been fundamental to the ideology.
Even under Rabin, there was no interest in Palestinian statehood. Rabin was assassinated because even the extremely minor of a semblance of autonomy was too far for the right-wing of Israeli politics. Oslo was ultimately used to justify settlements in the West Bank while under a guise of legitimacy of 'working towards peace'.
Peace Process and Solution
Both Hamas and Fatah have agreed to a Two-State solution based on the 1967 borders for decades. Oslo and Camp David were used by Israel to continue settlements in the West Bank and maintain an Apartheid, while preventing any actual Two-State solution
Hamas proposed a full prisoner swap as early as Oct 8th, and agreed to the US proposed UN Permanent Ceasefire Resolution. Additionally, Hamas has already agreed to no longer govern the Gaza Strip, as long as Palestinians receive liberation and a unified government can take place.
Oslo was used as a land grab while continuing to deny Palestinians human rights
(Oslo Accord Sources: MEE, NYT, Haaretz, AJ).
How Avi Shlaim moved from two-state solution to one-state solution
‘One state is a game changer’: A conversation with Ilan Pappe
Yeah, before my test of insanity was to say "Palestinians deserve human rights"
Nothing about.that statement is controversial, but you spot the bigot if someone disagrees
If I were a Palestinian journalist (the only journalists in Gaza since Israel is keeping everyone else in the press out), I would do as little as I could to draw attention to myself. It's clear that Israel has declared open season on journalists and they don't care if that's a violation of international law.
"because reporting on crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Israel is antisemitic" - Adolf Netanyahu
That’ll keep the press from saying bad things about you, right? Right?
It stops press from being there at all
Does the press say bad things about Israel?
Depends if they're on team doomsday prophet or not.
Palestinian press does
Like, true bad things?
Jeeesus, what the fuck man. Israel is just evil bullshit at this point, fuck those guys.
At this point? It wasn't when they shot the people bringing aid in April?
At that point? It wasn't when they expelled Palestinians from their homes in 1948?
I wasn't born then. But yeah its been a while. Just thought it was funny the way he said "at this point"
Nah, I had already had serious reservations about Israeli intent after the initial attack.
They have been for a while, it’s just that this time they are losing their edge on propaganda since folks have alternatives to corporate mainstream media. This is why they want to ban tik tok for example.
What's the toll at? Last time I heard it was in the hundreds of journalist
Article said it exceeds 200.
Well obviously the person that picked that target simply had Dyslexia and thought it said Hamas
