Huge ethical & political failure of Iranian regime's moribund reformist faction.
First, former President Khatami backed the Hamas attack.
Now, the National Unity party (main reformist org) has done the same,claiming that the the attack is "defensible based on international law"
Let me explain my hostility to the entire framework of Pop Decolonization very simply.
"Thes people are not from here, they should leave" is ethnic cleansing rhetoric.
I've spent the last 3 months going through Azerbaijani Armenophobic conspiracy theories. At the basis of most
suffering of the Palestinians either historically or in this exact moment. But the focus on "indigeneity" and the emergence of campus Antizionism was always going to lead to Humanities grad students having Jouissance orgasms at the sight of dead Jewish Israelis.
"X people
Indeed,
" "Thes people are not from here, they should leave" is ethnic cleansing rhetoric."
'Decolonization' now preached by some who claim to be on the Left is nothing but 'Blood and Land' nationalism
No Jew, literally not one, is calling on your privileged, antisemitic and Islamophobic ass to comment on this situation.
And if they are, they’re a schande fur di goyim. You? You’re a gormless opportunist. Fuck back off into irrelevance.
It physically hurts to think of how many of the murdered and hostages are the children, parents, siblings, and friends of peace activists who are now, still, begging for a just peace instead of revenge.
I can confidently say that no one hates BiBi more than other world leaders and progressive Jews 😂 like Jews worldwide agree on like three things and Bibi kicking rocks is one of them
White Democrats asking about Black voter turnout in Louisiana might want to remember that ⬜ Democratic voters keep losing Democrats elections by not voting Democratic or just not voting. That's why we don't have a Speaker or the second term of Hillary Clinton. Just saying.
No one is disputing Hamas's role. But Hamas is not an elected government, it is an authoritarian regime. There has not been an election in Gaza in the entire time since Hamas wrested power from Fatah in 2006. 50% of Gazans are kids under 18. Most weren't even alive in 2006. Yet you are advocating collective punishment for Gazans.
I’m not surprised folk in this country demands to see dead children/babies.
This is the nation that popularized postcards of Black people being lynched, who leave dead Black bodies in the streets for hours, and who demand to see what happened *before the police shot someone.
Because hate crimes against Jews are at historic highs, and no one seems to know but us. Because we are dismissed and belittled. Because our grief and our fear is funny to people who have never been almost extinguished by hate.
Haha, funny joke.
As noted in the replies, only 7% of the Gaza population has ever voted for Hamas. As also noted in the replies, it is a sickening posture to say that a civilian is a legitimate military target because of how they may have voted.
