World Politics

[Your Pretty Brains]

This is a whole new level of dystopia



Like… using stan twitter to whitewash your genocide? I-

Ahahhahaha what the fuck? We're deflecting to popstarkin now to mediate international conflict?! I wonder how Roni feels about this being their strategy.

Furious

I can't bring myself to watch this but thank you for making sure no one reading this thread forgets what is a
happening. Fuck these absolute tools forever and always. I don't think karma actually works but I'd really appreciate if it did for these Israeli assholes.

This is truly frightening.

Just like North Korea state media.

The French word Irréel is the perfect substitute when referring to the Frankenstein state of Israel.

later, in la prison:
"what you in for mate?"
"stabbed a dude"
"you?"
"smuggled 3kg of cocaine from algeria"

"and you?"
"said that the IDF killing civilians was bad"

If the country you live in makes it illegal to criticise another country's Government.....then where does that leave democracy?

Christ, the platform that US news groups give to these people to normalise their extreme views.

It seriously blows me away, what life must be like for her in her head. Just this completely myopic, Zionistic in the truest sense, original Abrahamic religion-focused way of interacting with the entire world at large.

My favorite part?

(Weiss is a neighbor and an ally of Bezalel Smotrich, the extremist minister of finance, who has said that the Palestinian people do not exist and that Palestinian communities need to be erased; he also lives in Kedumim.)

Ok!

It seriously blows me away that the New Yorker would give her a platform to amplify her views.

The way Zionism is just going unchecked in everyday life like is so mind boggling to me.

You’ve got dumb fuck shitheads like Noah Schnapp or however you spell that idiots name out here flaunting stickers saying Zionism is sexy and Hamas is Isis, Amy Schumer spouting islamophobic garbage with those non-existent lips of hers and Jamie Lee Curtis refusing to admit she fucked up and talking about “im human!! I make mistakes!! But still, Israel is under threat!!” None of these people will face repercussions for their actions. They won’t lose jobs, they won’t get banned, they won’t even get pulled up on their shit. Everyone just goes about it as if it’s normal. As if the genocide of an entire people is just normal. It’s fucking with my head so much I feel like I’m going insane.

I remember very well what it was like growing up post 9/11 with a name like Yusuf, brown skin and with a beard. I got called a bomber, racially profiled everywhere I went and people telling me to fuck off back to Pakistan (born and raised in the UK tho!). Some of these sentiments are creeping back into the public consciousness ever so slowly. I’m older now so I can handle it better then I did before but the fact I have to even brace myself for it is a fuckery all on it’s own.

Besides, this isn’t a Jewish vs Muslim thing. It never was. Christian and I’m sure non-religious Palestinians exist. It’s about not killing babies, not bombing hospitals, not running over already dead Palestinian people with your tanks and calling for Gaza to be flattened while IDF knobs dance around in mosques.

I am losing my mind at how any of this is just being allowed to happen.

 

[Hairycub1969]

It's about how we in the Western democratic countries are suppose to have the higher moral ground then terrorist groups like Hamas, ISIS etc al....we would never condone a democratic government who are bombing the hell out of a densly populated geographical area where nearly 50% of the people are children. In this respect most of our Europen Governments have failed...slowly the leader of France is beginning to question it.
The more Palestinian civilians that die, the worse it will look for our Europeans leaders when history recalls this chapter. There are better ways to defeat Hamas then what Israel are currently doing....more and more people around the world are waking up and beginning to educate themselves on how the Israeli government treat Palestinians. I hope the younger generations say "enough is enough. We need to change this now. We need to resolve this by implementing a two state solution" and that means compromise on both sides.

 

[Juango]

We need to resolve this by implementing a two state solution" and that means compromise on both sides.

What can the Palestinians compromise on? Given that Israel holds supreme power, and has reduced Palestine to isolated enclaves across the West Bank and Gaza, I don’t think the Palestinians have room to compromise.

Completely agree. It's about perception. How do you stop the "terrorist" organisations from embedding themselves onto the Palestinian cause? Isreal's Government need to understand that they will never be secure unless there is a two state solution and a peace plan is thrashed out and then implemented. They are living with the alternative to this now.

 

[Juango]

Isreal's Government need to understand that they will never be secure unless there is a two state solution

Israel will never understand that because there is no pressure on them to understand it. Also this whole idea that Israel will "never be secure" needs to be challenged. The state of Israel is absolutely secure in its existence. They are a nuclear power with warheads believed to number in the hundreds. And the world's largest warship is currently parked in the Mediterranean! There is no real threat to its existence.

Also there is no incentive for Israel to pursue a two-state solution. Palestinian land is dwindling and Israel's plan is to make the lives of Palestinians miserable so they will emigrate. Just look at how settlements are encircling the West Bank, effectively cutting off economic livelihoods of Palestinians. And no one is stopping them, despite it being against international law. Look at increasing emigration rates from the Palestinian territories since the start of the year.

Genocide is Israel's end game. We are way past a viable two-state solution.

I thought I’d share this for anyone here that is not aware. BDS is a movement created by Palestinians themselves. I really think in order to see change in this we have to make the cooperate establishments pockets hurt and be mindful of what we consume.



There’s more information in their Linktree. Boycotting Starbucks is something that has been going around too. It’s not on this list but they sued their union for supporting Palestine.

Disney being on there too after sending $2 million to the IOF. I suggest anyone to cancel their Disney Plus subscription. It might not seem like a lot but we really need to send a message to these companies that funding a genocide is unacceptable.

Essentially boycott what you can. Luxuries like Mcdonald’s, your Disney Plus subscription and Starbucks are easy to avoid. I know Google is on there which would be harder to find an alternative to that. BDS does mention that targeted boycotting is more effective.

 

[spaceship]

I honestly don't know how fair the BDS movement is. McDonald's in the Middle East is a franchise that is owned by a Lebanese company that is definitely not supporting the IDF. Same for Starbucks for example. There is also often no logic behind the boycott lists, for instance all the chips inside our iPhones and Macs are made in Israel by an Israeli engineer. I'm not saying its useless but it sometimes hurts people that have nothing to do with what people are actually boycotting.
