The Zionist Manifesto 🇮🇱⭐
Revised & Expanded - English

It isn't too late to revitalize the Zionist revolution - and to build the Workers' Republic demanded by the Old Guard of the movement. Peace, land, bread!

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@SovinformMedia Ben-Gurion began as a Zionist and then largely betrayed the movement, yes.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@SovinformMedia You missed the part where Kahane's movement was explicitly anti-Zionist - designed, consciously, as something directly counter to the Zionist movement.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@SovinformMedia Strongly disagree. Kahane was an asset of US intelligence who strongly opposed Zionism and created a fascist alternative modeled on the right-wing of the Black Power movement (i.e., Farrakhan, etc.).

@ESennesh They sure do love symbols! Would be cool if people occasionally liked real things instead, but y'know, that would render the symbols obsolete, so.

[hazemxdx🇵🇸 @hazemxdx1]

Why didn't the Palestinians fight for the people colonizing them?
Real mystery

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@ESennesh Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld (LGBT+ rights advocate, inventor of trans healthcare) wrote a lot about this, given that he was a socialist and a progressive sexologist.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@fulop_dan @ESennesh It actually has numerous demonstrable benefits over the nuclear family model, which is extremely recent historically and has a lot of clear dysfunctional psychological and socioeconomic baggage that the village model doesn't.

@ipatrol6010 Oh strange, I'll see what I can do

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@ipatrol6010 I can still see all of it, are you not able to?

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

It's easy to pretend there was a clean and easy "alternative" to Zionism when that movement is no longer around and never had to seriously deal with most of the problems Zionism has encountered.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

Look, we can learn a lot from the Bund, but don't pretend Zionism and Bundism were antipodes: both movements were socialist, the Bund just didn't ever have to reckon with its shortcomings, so folks want to pretend it was "purer" than the former whose shortcomings are obvious.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Jews in the diaspora who want to celebrate their heritage without tying themselves to Israel might look to the Bundist concept of “hereness”, which a new book by Molly Crabapple celebrates https://t.co/TcrH3lg9zX

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

Fetishism of "resistance by any means necessary" is itself a critical source and exacerbator of oppression, since those means have consistently failed to result in the ends meant to justify them.

[Saad. @SaadInCyber]

Correct. You believe Palestinians are oppressed but don't believe in their right to resist by any means necessary, then you are a bigot who supports that oppression.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@patriach2051 Yes. And most "leftists" are right-wing too.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

I have sympathy for this argument, I do. Except the average Palestinian works in Israel, among average Jewish civilians. It also it fails to account for the fact pervasive Judeophobia already existed in Palestinian society prior to Israeli soldiers or settler violence existing.

[Saad. @SaadInCyber]

The only Jew an average Palestinian knows is the IDF conscript or the illegal settler that humiliates and harasses them periodically.

If some Palestinians are antisemitic, they are wholly justified in being so.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@tranxrchist And even several of the ones that don't directly revolve around it still involve indigenous plants or things like that.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

So... Judaism = Zionism then? Because it's literally in the Septuagint, lmao

[Abu Mexicuh 🇵🇸🪂🔻☭ @notronmexicuh]

Anyone who uses the term "Jewish diaspora" is a Zionist.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@anarchoqueerism I suspect he either believes it will give him some kind of legacy as "the PM who took down XYZ" (instead of, y'know, his actual legacy), or perhaps he simply recognizes that his future depends on Israel's future and wants to reposition it within regional politics while he can.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

I have a pet theory that Bibi's reasoning behind this aggressive multi-front style of warfare is to basically run down the clock and max out the US credit cards before Israel loses vassal privileges, in hopes of making enemies weaker and therefore cheaper to fight in the future.

[Š★A★L ☭ ש★א★ל @DecolonizeZion]

@afalkhatib Watching him feebly attempt to contain/moderate the pathology he helped give shape to was not on my 2026 bingo card. Perhaps if he had included some of this nuance in his highly-influential publications in the first place, this wouldn't be necessary.
