It's good, feels like a very useful thing to hand somebody who isn't quite convinced that Zionism is just another type of fascism. It's only 92 pages, and it's written very straightforwardly.


I'm working through the book now but I have to put it down every few pages because the consistent 1-2 punch of "The Nazis were loving awful" and "The Zionists kept on collaborating with them in spite of the atrocities" just kills me. That they profited off it, that they sold out other Jews at times to gain favor and more opportunities, that they stymied any actual resistance? It all just hurts.

Hamas health ministry says IDF withdrew from Gaza’s Nasser Hospital

quote:

Israeli forces withdrew from Gaza’s Nasser Hospital today, a week after raiding it, the Palestinian enclave’s Hamas-controlled health ministry says in a statement.

The World Health Organization says the hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza’s second largest and crucial to the territory’s crippled health services, stopped working last week after a week-long Israeli siege followed by the raid.

The Israel Defense Forces has not yet commented on the Hamas announcement that Israeli troops withdrew from the hospital.

haha hell yeah. genuinely the most heartening gesture or statement i've seen from a global superpower on this conflict.

even from the perspective of like, pure cynical realpolitik, it is obviously in China's best interest to wait for the US & its vassals to act like bloodthirsty, craven incompetents (this part has already happened) and then side with the opposition. if you want to put yourself at the center of whatever comes next when the west implodes, you want to be friends with the people they've been immiserating for centuries. i hope it's not just an empty gesture & they back it up with material aid to Gaza, but this is a good start

this is why I never get my hopes up… the US and Israel are not going to be stopped or slowed down by words, force is the only language they understand, and so far China’s leadership has not been willing to go there. for good reasons - why force a conflict when your enemy is crumbling all on their own - but the result is i don’t think help is coming for Gaza.

yeah... when i typed "heartening statement from a global superpower" i realized what an oxymoron that was lol. i want to be optimistic that some nation with access to the levers of power will step in, but it's becoming increasingly unlikely -- like you said, China can just do the "luigi wins at mario party by doing nothing" approach as long as the US keeps showing its rear end in every international venture, and i don't think they have the ideological skin in the game that would drive them to direct intervention/conflict. i just want to hope that it won't come down to how long Hamas & Yemen can hold out against constant bombardment...

Hey now, at least when our dimwits do cartoons about Lula, we go to the "Oh he's into Goblnization" school. At least that takes effort, even fi the guy's comics are poo poo.

yeeeeeah fair fair

they at least more or less stated that they have no problem with violent resistance to israel's unlawful occupation of Palestine and see said violence as legitimate under international law for self-determination

...which I guess seeing written out does still amount to just "they can keep fighting for their lives tho, for sure" which is more than all the pathetic american officials

Here is a jungle, we are mongrels, we are monkeys, like we are called on many countries. And how dare these loving monkeys criticize glorious Israel?

I'm not expecting China to send over warships and trigger WW3 but let's not pretend like they've acted appropriately in response to the genocide. All relations with Israel should've been cut, they can do that much.

China’s stance is pragmatic because the US is so loving touchy about Israel that they would undoubtedly retaliate somehow, and it’s hard to know how. Suppose they tried to do something very stupid with Taiwan in response to diplomatic, economic or military links with Israel being cut off?

Well, that’s an insanely dangerous situation because we’re not talking about the risk of regional war anymore, but world war.

The US supported a coup in Pakistan because Khan didn’t provide arms to Ukraine. Whatever they did in Asia in response to China taking a hard line to Israel’s genocide would probably be deranged.
