Time for some sausageposting: I was in Frankfurt over the weekend and their historical town hall had gigantic Israel and Ukraine flags hanging from it, plus every single ATM and ticket machine for the U-bahn and S-bahn had a screensaver showing clasped hands branded with the German and Israeli flags and WE STAND WITH ISRAEL in several languages below. Quite weird to see how omnipresent it all was in the city

but there was a big pro-Palestine demonstration in one of the main squares on Saturday with thousands of people there, so again there's a disconnect between what the state and its institutions are saying and what the average people in the street think about it

I "discovered" Snyder something like 7 years ago, when a local newspaper printed very positive reviews of his works and I immediately went out and bought a bunch of his books.

Ofc it's a liberal paper and ofc it has wholly joined into the "Palestine delenda est" screeches over the last weeks.

Ah well....learned something I guess. Time to re-read Wolfgang Benz's Holocaust introduction, follow his sources and then pluck Snyder apart.

seems like such inconvenient PR timing for this to come on the heels of the consent factory shaping support for Ukraine

it's such cognative whiplash to go from the basic messaging "the big guy is picking on the little guy and occupies his land, he deserves to get to fight back" to trying to flip the entire message on his head and get us to root for Goliath, even if he's marching under the star of david banner

Like I said before there are A LOT of American Arabs that go back to the ME for a variety of reasons. And they're not doing great too.

quote:

Rafah, Gaza – Nineteen-year-old Yousif Abu Shaaban and four immediate family members had been waiting for days for their evacuation from the besieged Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

An American passport holder, Abu Shaaban was told by officials from the United States consulate that he and his family were eligible to leave the strip. The family was staying at a school near the Rafah crossing, seeking a way out of the enclave away from Israel’s relentless bombing campaign that began on October 7.

US officials had advised Gaza’s Palestinian American dual citizens — who number between 500 and 600 — to move closer to the crossing for possible safe passage into Egypt.

quote:

On October 21, US officials said they had received information that the crossing could be opened to allow dual citizens to leave — as the first aid trucks from Egypt entered Gaza.

But it’s already too late for Abu Shaaban and his family: The delay in evacuations cost his 14-year-old sister’s life.

Not sure if family-posting is allowed, but I chatted with my dad over the phone earlier and asked him about his perception of the Israel-Palestine issue (I had forgotten he and my sister actually visited Israel a while back).

Basically he thinks that Netanyahu is corrupt, a lot of his cabinet members want to kill all of the Palestinians, the settlers kill Palestinians which doesn't make US news, average non-settler Israeli is decent and doesn't want conflict, there needs to be a two state solution, US support for Israel is worsening the conflict, Palestine is an open-air prison, etc, but when I asked if he defines what's happening in Palestine as genocide or if Israel is bombing civilians intentionally, he hesitated before saying that like with Iraq and Afghanistan it's inevitable that that civilians will be killed and that Iran is responsible for supplying Hamas and Hezbollah.

Considering he's pretty much an uber-neoliberal capitalist, I guess that's saying something. Still disappointed though.
