Starting to see gay liberals rabble-rousing about how people witholding Democrat votes on anti-genocide grounds will lead to gay people in death camps, how it will be blood on their hands and their smugness won't save anyone. As a gay, transgender, immigrant who grew up in a very low-grade warzone (some bullets in the school facade, grenades in the neighborhood) facilitated by the U.S., this is. making me mad. If you know anyone liable to spout off like that, tell them to keep their traps shut, before someone like me just up and loving kills them. vv (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Ramie has issued a correction as of 08:36 on Oct 28, 2023 |

small bit of good news: all the 20-something "progressive" Zionists are in the middle of a weeks-long depression fit because all their leftist friends are rightfully refusing to hear out their dissembling and equivocating about the Palestinian genocide. they are just absolutely not finding any purchase, and any Zionist that does not eventually go the route of accepting and uplifting pro-Palestine protests, inevitably tailspins into ranting about how Pallywood is turning all their friends against them. young people are just not having it

The big sticking point with the Tacoma blackade seems to that the organizers were straight up lying to participants and hobbling the efforts of people who were actually willing to do things of consequence. Presumably for clout-chasing reasons, at best, and wanting to be little feds at worst.

I have to imagine there's some Pentagon guys freaking out about Israel using the evil knife missiles in the most spiteful and public way possible. They surely count on this kind of thing going semi-hidden by virtue of the average American knowing jack about poo poo. A whole lotta people are gonna be asking themselves tomorrow, why are my taxes going toward long-range knife grenades? Why do we even have those? Really amazing how deeply evil systems will be set up in plain sight. On that note, been doing some reading on that Ben Gurion guy:    from Nahum Goldmann's The Jewish Paradox. sure does clarify some things.

On the other hand, I saw an IT-department army reservist telling people that Israel is the most war-torn country in the world, which is why she committed to that career at age 19. Gotta lead the charge on the crusade of our times, after all! I feel like it's a safe assumption that people will be taught and believe whichever worldview is conductive to having a deep manpower pool

Adenoid Dan posted:Palestine is simultaneously a state (so Israel can declare war on it and has no obligation to maintain conditions hospitable to life) and not a state (so Palestine has no legitimate government to negotiate with and is completely subject to Israel's whims) Another observation: What's particularly puzzling about the very online liberal Israeli I'm seeing lately is that they just want the whole thing to be... handled internally? And bloodlessly/perfectly too Meaning an immediate cease to the protests, no blockading of the weapons being shipped to Israel, but also with sudden and proper elections that usher in a new (peaceful!) Palestinian governing body, and a complete cleaning of the house of Israel, in favor of less nakedly cruel one. A viewpoint that simultanously calls out insurrection as childish, unrealistic, and wholly unnecessary. While ignoring just how unlikely it is is that their perfect bureocratic dream will be happening within, say, the next century. In the meantime, for the Palestinians: wait 50 years and hope the fire that is burning you gets a little less hot every year. edit: oh yeah and they all talk like this when they aren't trying to sound high and mighty  Ramie has issued a correction as of 07:57 on Nov 16, 2023 |

I really have to wonder what morale in the IDF has to be like atm. Surely a bunch of soldiers have lost friends in the process of capturing the hospital terrorbase, and they gotta see how pointless those deaths were, right? And they are only going to be more cowardly going forward? vv ah, good point. their brains probably can't get more thoroughly brined in dipshit tyrant hormones. gotta be total saturation at this point. this is as cowardly as cowards get Ramie has issued a correction as of 08:06 on Nov 16, 2023 |

I think ironically linking people to videos of IDF soldiers beinga full-throatedly awful can help. Words are nice and all, but a picture is worth a thousand words, let alone multiple frames per second filmed from first-person PoV. Additionally if the person you are talking to is non-white or non-cishet it is very very easy to peg the soldiers as cop-brained, and sympathy with fellow victims will do the rest. v bud we just had a video posted of soldiers making GBS threads on prayer rugs, don't be obtuse. gore does not have to factor into it Ramie has issued a correction as of 22:15 on Dec 1, 2023 |

am I crazy or did someone in this thread post an article from an Israeli news site with an IDF source saying only 15% of those captured POWs were non-civilians? I was looking for it I might have seen that on another site though vv thanks. drat, I didn't know both sites reported it. between this and the friendly fire numbers, I assume confidence in the IDF is at an all-time low among those who are not entirely blood-maddened. but then, I'm expecting some level of rationality Ramie has issued a correction as of 08:34 on Dec 13, 2023 |

Atrocious Joe posted:Israelis also use the prickly pear as a national symbol sometimes, they call it sabra. getting pissed at them is how I became a cactus pedant. Old post but I have been thinking a lot about this while I have been spending the holidays with family in Mexico In the Sierra Madre, seeing a prickly pear is nothing less than a relief. The land can be thoroughly indifferent to human life, so seeing the bright red of a tuna can feel like a peace offering. It is the friendliest plant around, in its context. There's spines, sure, but those are a non-issue if you know how to handle the plant even a little bit. It's not hard to peel the fruit one-handed, using just a sharp knife and a flat rock. My grandpa used to do that. The flesh is refreshing on a hot day and the sweetness warms you on cold one. The only way you could possibly see it as unfriendly or a symbol of self-defense or whatever, is if you are unfamiliar with land and context and go poking poo poo you don't understand. So, the "making the desert bloom" mindset yet again. It's like Zionists set out to find the Toughest and Meanest Fruit, and as usual they hosed it up.

In a way, this is a pie-in-the-sky outcome that even the most optimistic hardcore leftists wouldn't anticipate. Lots of people asks themselves, "hey, if the system will kill them anyway, why don't people do something useful with their deaths and make it a blow against the structures that kill them?". And then this guy went even beyond that, beyond dreams of defiantly throwing a rock at the tank about to crush you. He knew he had a shot to really, really make it hurt. People go their entire lives agitating and rabblerousing hoping to deal one-hundredth as much damage to the grip and illusion of moral infallibility the government has, before they die. So it bears discussing why this is all worth dick squat, and we should instead be jerking off into our own mouths, very leftistly.

It's yet another day where we see reflected the attitudes of the West towards its victims: the otherized masses laying out their accounts of being brutalized? well they are just biased and self-interested. the in-group gets killed? well NOW that's someone that matters, why didn't you say so before! no surprise that activists of every stripe are more radicalized than ever, every liberation movement is reflected in this one 10000 Palestinian victims would never have the worth of 1 Western one. "cruelty was invented when it happened to us!". and then the weight of a Western life is not even that much, as we have seen. these past few months have been a referendum on the worth of human life. it's not something new in the least but it's baffling how there's no attempt to even keep up the pretense for a moment. just going ehhhh gently caress it. the jig is up. take it or leave it. maddening. the only sanity that can be found is in the horror other people share vv true. can't argue with that. this is just another manifestation of the same ideals. and this time it's not even for money Ramie has issued a correction as of 19:12 on Apr 2, 2024 |

FUNDRAISING INFO POST, SORRY FOR THE LENGTH I have seen people asking about fundraisers in the past, and I found this one Arab blogger who put together a masterpost of Gazan fundraisers they have been able to vet by actually talking with the people behind them. Scammers who were not even able to speak Arabic or pass a basic background check were not highlighted. quote:Fundraiser masterpost These are generally easy enough to find by appending "GoFundMe" to the names in a google search. The blogger is "el-shab-hussein" on tumblr but their blog is set to private so you need an account to view it. Also, there's another Palestinian blogger who has been able to establish a fundraising pipeline with her friends and relatives in Gaza. Their hastily-assembled operation has been able to provide food to some hundreds of people in the past few months, and provided proof of it besides. Some of the updates she has provided: quote:There are a couple new updates that go along with this this proof of purchase update. But first! quote:Today, Hussam and his team in Rafah were busy sorting and packaging vegetables. They managed to put 200 packages, each with 10kilo of vegetables (potatoes, eggplants, lemon, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cucumber) and 3 packs of feta cheese for each family. quote:Hussam and his team put together a joyful event for the kids in Rafah camps and wanted to share it with all of us here on Tumblr! This included games, songs, competitions, and face painting all of which the kids adored, and even the adults joined in on the good times. They were beyond happy to see their little ones having fun! Notion site with more information and proof-of-purchase videos: https://helpgazachildren.notion.site/8517fdaec81a4568a0c1d1ddd0496732?v=59c939b12256426398ab7056b201e952 GoFundMe link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/gpmrp-help-gazas-children-donate-today finally, tomorrow April 12th at 4PM EST, videogame streamer wayneradiotv will launch a 3-day marathon fundraising stream, spotlighting Gazan fundraising efforts. He and his team have had no trouble raising $100,000+ on previous 24-hour charity marathon streams for RAICES and No Kid Hungry, so it should end up amounting to quite a bit of something! quote:This weekend, Radio TV Solutions will be holding a 3 day marathon fundraiser event for the people of Palestine. Do be mindful of Twitch's dumb "civility" requirements and such if you join, who knows if people saying DTI and DTA in chat could get the stream in trouble.

People itt spend too much time talking about how the protests won't cause Netanyahu to kill himself, rather than why the organizers are doing it. Has the word "divestment" been mentioned in the past 5 pages? I do think the divestment of an Ivy League college from Israel would provide a crack in the foundational assumptions of the Israeli project. And the crackdown is quickly winnowing out other possible outcomes. As in other fronts, Israel is cooked and they just don't know it

Lazy_Liberal posted:some of the Israelis I've talked to are just very matter of fact like "we won the war, we should be allowed to deport people like other countries." it's definitely a lot of "why can't we do it when everybody else got to do it??" What's strange (convenient, maddening) is that Westerners are the only people who don't recognize the parallels at play, yet also the main drivers and stakeholders. If you ask any activist organizing for Palestine in a colonized country, the sentiment at the core of their actions is some variation of "we can't let this happen again". But nooooooo, the only thing that can bring the Mexican, the Irish, and the Lakota man under the same umbrella is their shared commitment to blood libel. They just think it's so much fun!

From what Palestinians say there is a clear gulf in say, Arabic proficiency and general knowledge of the region between scammers and legit fundraisers, and so Palestinians on there have been vetting them by DM'ing the organizers directly. One of my posts in this thread is a list of a few dozen legit ones. This one: Ramie posted:FUNDRAISING INFO POST, SORRY FOR THE LENGTH On that note, the streamer I mentioned in said post was able to raise 122K for Palestinians trying to make the border crossing  he and his team had a system where people would submit proof of payment and log it on a spreadsheet, so all the money went directly to people in need

Relatedly, I feel like that is a big part of why some ostensibly-liberal people are so stubborn about their Zionism. Not even particularly intense or invested, just those committed to being unmoved: an admission that Zionism can be flawed and that it is worth fighting against, in their minds, means that every bit of anti-Semitic abuse over the course of their life was justified. It means a vast, permanent ceding of ground. And since they are human beings that don't deserve abuse, it logically flows that Zionism can't be that flawed Obviously that conflation is not how it works, but that's what fear does to some people. You would figure those people would just stop putting their hypothetical fears over very real lives at some point... but it doesn't matter either way. They are comparatively irrelevant, or if they aren't, they can be made to be
