Its amazing the condescension that is happening here, whilst we are talking about white supremacy and the destruction/nullification of self determination of West Asia and global south and what I am assuming is a white guy telling a West Asian person in this thread. Yea sure it sucks that we live in a singular empire where that world power is truly evil, but like to say to brown people/POC why bother to change cause the west will destroy whatever chance of freedom and progress its insulting and degrading. Hate that poo poo.

i didnt say anything about the nature of assad or the opposition, im saying that the arab regimes are going to do to us what assad did, destroy the country and drown it in blood rather than compromise on even the smallest steps towards reform.

we're seeing the same thing happening in sudan, it happened in libya, yemen, iraq, and many others, egypt right now is melting down economically and the egyptian regime still refuses any reform or any chance to shore up its popularity, given the choice between saving the country through reform and taking the country down with them arab leaders will choose the latter. especially with psychopathic idiots and sadists like Sisi and Ksa and Uae in charge. sadly the arab regimes insist it be a zero-sum game no matter how bad it gets.

Sudan has more to do with the baggaras and the Messeriya deciding to fight all the other tribes in the country. If anything the military junta is the sane one there, which isn’t that hard considering the RSF are idiots and lunatics.

6th list of foreigners allowed to leave Gaza came out today. Brazilians still not allowed out, despite the fact that the Israeli foreign minister had promised Brazil that they'd be let out by Wednesday. 4100 people allowed to leave, but no Brazilians yet.

You're right, that's what all the lit says, I was just wondering about people with firsthand experience signing off on this.

"Sure, troops burned to death in M113s, but these are Namers, you see."

South Africa.

Both developed their arms industries (in close cooperation) because of the very successful embargos prior to the US becoming Israel's BFF in 1973 for reasons definitely not related to nuclear blackmail.

Pakistan could probably go on the list, for similar reasons, along a similar timeline.

I don't think you really can put South Africa on the same "small" country list as Israel. I guess Sweden should count though.

Is there any chance of protests in Egypt forcing the gov to act? While all the elites may be sickos in thrall to the West there seems to be plenty of pro Palestine views among the general populace and the gov doesn't seem so strong that they can ignore all of it forever.

Compared to the other countries Egypt could flip this situation so quickly for the Palestinians. The border is right there!

Sisi allowed protests in the beginning that quickly spun out of control for him so he activated his riot police to put down all protest and just yesterday jailed the most popular opposition candidate. sadly it looks like the egyptian police state has things on lockdown.

I can't believe you're still incapable of connecting the dots and seeing that the moderates that Assad and the Syrian state put down would have been the exact running dogs you're railing against in other Arab states. If there's one thing you can't say of Assad it's that he's in the orbit of the US and Israel.

I mean, so was Assad. But I guess hosting the last Russian base outside the former USSR gets your name put on a list, no matter how many fingernails you pulled off for freedom

Willa Rogers posted:

It's hard to convey how everyone 50 & up was raised with pro-Israel propaganda, at least in my neck of the woods. I have friends whose parents were in the camps, which had a lot to do with it, but there was also just an incredible pro-Israel slant to everything, just as there is now.

At the same time, there were restrictive covenants again Jews for buying (or renting) homes in separate areas, and they couldn't attend certain social functions (or certain schools). It wasn't till the civil-rights protests & legislation in the 1960s that (outright) discrimination against Jews became taboo (and criminal). So there was that aspect too; good people supported Jews, which meant supporting Israel.

And, of course, there was the political aspect; AIPAC started throwing its weight around mightily, as it does today.

The word "Zionist" was never spoken; it was considered a slur. If you were a Jew, you supported Israel, period--even if you were non-religious.

I feel privileged to see this current sea change, especially among younger generations who fight for Palestinians' human rights. It's on up there with having witnessed the Black & indigenous people's fights for civil rights in the 1960s, the women's rights movement in the 1970s, and the LGBT civil-rights movement in the 1980s and beyond. (eta: I forgot apartheid/South Africa)

This is just as an important fight as those were, and it's a wonderful moment to be able to witness (or join in on).

It really feels there is distinctions especially in the eras.

In the immediate aftermath of the end of the cold war, during the End of History, during Bush I and Clinton, there was a sense that the Palestinian issue could be resolved in their lifetimes. There was sympathy, especially in the wake of the end of South African apartheid and the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland.

But then History started again when 9/11 happened. Whether or not Bush Knew was irrelevant, every psychotic drooling conservative and liberal hawk was down for civilizational war with the Middle East, and that included Palestine. Everyone steeped in the War on Terror discourse was now committed to demonizing everyone in the Middle East except Israel, who could distinguish themselves as loyal allies through their oppression of the Palestinians.

There are two strains of non-jewish Zionism. There is the evangelical version that everyone has heard of, where the Temple needs to be built then destroyed in order to usher in the eschaton. I'm not convinced that this strain is that relevant these days, they were more relevant in the Bush II era when evangelicals were in control, and they did get a big win with Trump moving the embassy to occupied Jerusalem.

Then there is the other, more common secular non-jewish strain of zionism that I find more deranged. It is for fat gen Xers who would never pass basic, but still desire the urges of being a settler. They missed out on being a yeoman farmer/settler, but they still desire to be strong and powerful and vital, carving terra nullius into civilization. Think Ben Shapiro's quote about arabs living in sewage while jews build. Never mind that Palestinians build and farm and trade like everyone else in the Levant. This group forms the real bedrock of zionism in America.

it looks like the israelis are making a desperate attempt to secure some sort of 'victory' like beelining it straight to a hospital to kill people before their dogs in riyadh do their arab summit horseshit to try and defang hamas.

By the way, them making it to Shifaa hospital has no value to them beyond war crimes and genocide, they are not winning the main point of the battle which is the military battle, Hamas's infrastructure and fighing strength are all underground and completely operating at full capacity even now. Their missile strikes are still operating at a normal pace and they're achieving really good kill numbers that havent slown down at all.

Wasn't there a quote about how they planned to make it a place where no human can survive, or something like that? They haven't been hiding it and I think gave a quota of what percent of the buildings in Gaza they were going to destroy. It doesn't matter that there's no way to square that with only targeting military targets because nobody will even call them on it let alone do anything about it.

I'm coming to the conclusion that most of what I was taught about how "The ME is complicated and it goes back to tribal warfare about Jehovah and poo poo" is just abject bullshit and the truth is "nearly every material, political and military problem that currently exists in the ME was the result of a deliberate post-war construction by the West, which was violent and fascist from its onset, and of which the current genocide is just a feature".

it's actually funny because education was strictly anti-nazi in germany in the post war years, until kids started growing up and thinking "hey, daddy/grandpa was kinda political during the war huh??" and then a bunch of nazis that walked free after the war started getting mysteriously murdered
