Growing up, I was taught that when someone tells you who they are, believe them.

They don’t care about Palestine. They don’t care about Gaza. They care about going mask off.

Fucking believe them.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE GOY IN THE BACK

At the end of the day, we did all we could. We suffered in diaspora for millennia. We walked their high roads and we died when we reached their destinations. We kept to ourselves, we kept out of their way. We joined their armies and fought their senseless wars. We paid taxes to fund roads we couldn't use and public services we couldn't access. We invented their vaccines and their ballpoint pens and their pacemakers and their nuclear weapons. We tried living as a peaceful, perfect minority in their world. We were good. We did everything they asked of us. They killed us anyway. They hated us anyway.

They say they hate us now because we have our own nation. We have our own taxes that fund our own roads and our own public services. We invent our own navigation apps and firewalls and missile defence systems and nuclear bombs. We have our own armies and our own senseless wars. They say they hate us now because we have our own nation. But they hated us before. They will always hate us, no matter what we do. We just chose not to be their perfect victims any longer.

Well put. It's trurly heartbreaking how no matter what we'll do, they'll hate us.

I tried to post on instagram some years ago and I saw a Native American activist who fully supported Palestine, like she literally had “free Palestine save muslims” on the top of her profile. I was new to the English speaking community so I was.. a bit surprised. I didn’t think that these kind of things even exist on the internet.

When 7/10 just happened, I was thinking about her. It wasn’t my first thought of course, but my mom asked me, “but all the Americans support Israel, right?”. That’s when I remembered her. I was wondering what she thinks about it now. Did she wake up? Did she realize everything?

Of course there’s no hope of it. I opened tumblr and I saw my mutuals and just cool people I follow posting all the awful antisemistic stuff.

I haven’t visited instagram for a while. I don’t want to see how that activist is doing now. Because I think I already know what I will see.

And of course that’s right. Free Palestine. From HAMAS. Save muslims. From islamists. (And from themselves).

If you’re flying the flag of Hamas or Hezbollah or any similar group, not only are you not pro-Palestinian or pro-human rights or pro-any-fucking-good-thing-in-the-world, you’re actually genocidal antisemitic racist homophobic transphobic scum, and you do not have a single thought in your head worth the time of any intelligent person who still has a soul. Remember that old one about sitting down at a table with nine Nazis and actually the table has ten Nazis? That’s you. You’re the Nazis, because you not only don’t call out and drive out antisemitism from your movement, you embrace it, laud it, promote it, celebrate it, and weaponize it for your LARP reign of terror.

I am so over this shit. I’m not even Jewish, and it makes me feel almost violently angry to see the shit you fuckers are willing to whitewash to LARP the revolution and pretend your Judenhass is a noble cause.

You can’t celebrate violent bigoted terrorists and claim to be a good person.

They had to kidnap Patty Hearst and hold her hostage for a goddamned year. They got you bitches with fucking TikTok.

Oppression is when you can’t hijack planes, set things on fire and commit suicide by setting yourself on fire

Once again, Hamas rejected a ceasefire. I guess it’s time to pressure Israel for a ceasefire even harder.

you’re not antisemitic, but you dont have any problem with Jordan being on what was once the British Palestine. you’re not antisemitic, but you comment “free Palestine” on every jewish post you see. you’re not antisemitic, but aljazeera is your only source of information. You’re not antisemitic, but you point at the biggest group of jewish people who believe Palestinian ethnic cleansing will come from god one day, and say it’s okay to make your claims because they support it currently. you’re not violently pushing your agenda, but you do comment on every post of hair covering that they are stealing from or must convert to islam.

you’re not violently pushing your agenda, but you dont let other keep or form their own opinions. you’re not violently pushing your agenda, but let me remind you that if you’re at a march and there’s a nazi flag raised, you're at a nazi march.

if you truly believe all israeli and zionist people hate all Palestinians and wish for their death, you should find some humanity in yourself, and apply it to your critical thinking and to how you picture jews and israeli people. To be honest, I’ve met some outright outrageous people, who do believe so, but they will make infinitely less difference in the world than all those i know who wish for peace, safety and statehood for Palestinians. That’s because all those who want this war to be over, and changes to be made are far more reasonable, coherent and critical than those who want otherwise, and those who believe all of the jews and zionists in the world want otherwise. Of all the jewish, muslim or Arabic people i met while traveling all over Israel, none were as aggressive, dogmatic or self serious as half the people on this website. If you feel comfortable telling someone to k*ll them selves over an opinion, info or understanding that you do not share, ask yourself what would your mother say, and go for a walk. Because in the grand scheme of things, your discussion wont make a difference, itll just be bullet points on your bad karma.

”Israel is committing genocide!”

Dude, Israel is literally making history for how much they help Palestinian casualties stay low

Unlike Hamas, billionaires that they are, aren’t lifting a PINKY to help their people.

But this ^^^ is not genocide.

Why do we even have to explain to AMERICANS that terrorism is bad. Don’t you have like umm,, an experience?? A memory??

Hamas is a heinous, murderous, vile terrorist group that’s intent on killing Jews.

But you can’t say they haven’t been honest about their intentions. Their manifesto, the interviews they’ve given, and the way they try to brainwash children through schools and media content have all been quite blatant in showing their modus operandi.

However, despite their very brutal honesty, why do Hamas-sympathisers try so hard to make Hamas look like good guys by defending literal crimes in the most insane ways?

It’s worrying and also shocking as these hypocrisies are such common sentiments coming from college campuses, which were once institutions that honed critical thinking.

Do they think that “kill all Jews” is a code phrase for “we want our territory back”? How do you possibly interpret open calls for the annihilation of Jews in any other way than what it is?

Do they not think that kidnapping women, raping and torturing them, and parading their naked, mutilated bodies around town to sexually humiliate them while men cheer is sexual violence against women? Isn’t this a feminist issue, part of the MeToo movement?

“Think about the children!” Yes, but when babies are beheaded and burned, when 4 year olds are kidnapped and orphaned, is claiming that these are AI-generated images and ripping down the posters of the hostages thinking of the children?

They cry out about war crimes but ignore that raping women and taking hostages are literally war crimes.

They scream to boycott companies for their ties to Israel using devices with technology designed in Israel. Will they give up their life’s pleasures because of their ties to Israel? My money is on no, because it’ll affect them personally and heaven forbid they take up activism that actually would inconvenience them in the slightest.

They claim to be experts in geopolitics after watching one TikTok video and claim that this is about territory and not antisemitism while also saying that Israelis can just “go back to whichever other country they also have citizenship in”. While turning a blind eye to the multiple antisemitic attacks around the world, and calling Israelis “white colonisers”.

They also claim to be champions of mental health awareness, experts in the psychological mechanisms of mental illnesses and take cautions to avoid triggers and micro-aggressions so as to not offend those who have psychological conditions. “We should let those who actually have these conditions speak up about their experiences!!”

But then when it comes to actual psychologically stressing situations like being kidnapped and taken hostage, they suddenly can speak for the hostages and know exactly what went on based on the most vacuous, flimsy evidence? “Oh she’s in love with her captor, she’s smiling at him! They’re smiling and waving, they must have been treated nicely by Hamas!”

How do they sleep at night with these competing ideologies in their heads? What do they achieve by making all these seem like the actions of good people?

They’re like Hamas’ PR team and defence attorneys rolled into one.

No matter what crime Hamas commits, they’ll come up with justifications and make it look like some kind of beneficent act of humanitarianism.

It’s so exhausting trying to reason with people who don’t see reason.

Just a reminder: intent is much, much more important to genocide than the amount of people dying. simply put, the amount of dead civilians isn't what makes a genocide a genocide.

for example, up to 33k bosnians are estimated to have died because of the bosnian genocide. in contrast, the estimated amount of japanese civilians dead during WWII is between 330k and 900k. yet most (serious) people wouldn't ever consider that there was a genocide against the japanese people. why? well, no government wanted to, planned or carried out systematic attacks with the intent of erasing, in whole or in part, the japanese people. yet, however, it is fairly easy to prove that the serbs wanted the bosnians gone and acted accordingly. You can even fullfill the material criteria for the Genocide Convention (ie killing people, or causing body or mental harm to a population) to a certain extent but if the intent behind those actions isn't to destroy a national/ethnic/etc group, then it's not genocide, the fullfilment of the material elements themselves aren't proof that there's a genocide without fullfilment of the mental element.

This isn't to overlook civilian deaths, but truth is, in modern warfare, civilians ARE gonna die, and that sucks massively, but we have a a whole branch of international law that help mitigate a lot of civilian deaths and allow for criminals to be held accountable for violation of civilian rights and livs, without having to erroneously call every single conflict where people die a genocide.

Similarly, it may be true that a lot more people are dying in the Israel-Gaza war than in the 7/10 attacks, but why did Hamas attack Israel in the first place? Why has Israel been attacked fairly frequently since it's independence? Because they want to completely erase Israel as a whole and expel (and kill, or best case scenario, convert) the jewish people out of the Middle East. This is very easy to prove, read Hamas founding charter and literally any history book that talks about wars against Israel or the expulsion of Jews from several ME countries. It's what the whole "from the river to the sea" slogan is about. It's also the very reason Israel needs to exist. But meanwhile, there's little to nothing that points out Israel wants to wipe out Palestinians as a group: 20% of their citizens are Palestinians who enjoy the same rights as Jewish citizens of Israel and aren't targeted, even Palestinians of the West Bank aren't usually targeted in a way that would even imply the IDF wants to erase them as a group, and even considering the Gaza campaign, its objective is to erradicate Hamas, not Palestinians, and nothing in Israel's policy outwardly implicates they want to erradicate all Gazans. Palestine, and especially Gaza, has massive population growth, which wouldn't make sense if there was a genocide campaign against them. This isn't to say the IDF is doing everything perfectly or that there aren't war crimes being commited. But war crimes don't mean genocide.

Calling what's happening in Gaza genocide is antisemitic, because not only are we applying different standards to Israel than we do any other country, we are also saying that Jewish people defending themselves is, inherently, a crime, one of the worst crimes defined at that. But it's also harmful to palestinians, because claiming that Israel's war against Hamas is a war against Palestinians equates Palestinians (many of whom just want to live regular lives, not war) with terrorists (who also target them, by the way), which seems islamophobic as hell if i'm being honest. it is also insensitive and damaging to every group that has been the victim of genocide, and every group which might be a victim of a genocide in the future, because how you're twisting the definition of the word to mean whatever you want it to mean. If everything is a genocide, nothing is.
