@IDF This is just another example of Israel's hatred and disregard for other cultures and faiths. No one trusts your phony investigations, especially when IDF soldiers get away with rape and murder every single day.
"This is not Gaza" so you know that this is what civilians and children in Gaza face all the time but its only a problem for you when it's in Tel-Aviv.
You’re telling me the country that droned Pakistan, destroyed Afghanistan, sanctioned Cuba, bombed Japan, committed a genocide in Gaza, killed one million people in Iraq and obliterated Libya is going to liberate your people? The cognitive dissonance is unreal.
They did not censor Gaza.
They did something worse.
They let you see it.
All of it.
Then trained you to scroll.
To compartmentalize.
To call it tragedy instead of policy.
So that the next time it happens, you are not shocked.
You are updated.
You know all the people you fucking slaughtered mercilessly loved their women and children too.
And the fact you remain so beloved by idiot Americans kills me like you killed all those young boys overseas.
You say Israel has a right to exist.
On whose land.
At whose expense.
At what body count.
America asked the same question and answered it with smallpox blankets, massacres, and reservations.
Israel answers it with siege, starvation, and genocide.
They defend each other because they recognize each other.
One sees its past.
The other sees its future.
And both know that if Palestine stands, the story they built their flags on begins to rot.
You packed a lot of confusion into four sentences, Ezra, so let me untangle it slowly.
First, this line:
"So where is Israel's ancestral homeland if not Israel?"
You are doing what Zionism always does.
You take a religious or mythic claim that some Jews have a spiritual connection to a piece of land and you inflate it into a modern property deed for a 21st-century ethnostate.
Ancestry is not a land title.
If it were, half the planet would be on ships going back to somewhere else.
Most Jews alive today do not have continuous, lived, generational ties to that land.
Most Palestinians do.
That is the difference you keep skipping.
"Ancestral homeland" for you is a slogan.
For them it is the house key, the family orchard, the graveyard, and the village your side turned into a pine forest.
Second:
"They don't have a right to exist you suggest?"
No state on earth has a mystical "right to exist."
States are political arrangements.
They are born, split, reunify, collapse, get renamed.
People have the right to exist.
People have the right to safety, dignity, and return.
When someone asks "Does Israel have a right to exist," what they usually mean is:
"Do Jews have the right to live in Palestine without being slaughtered or expelled?"
The answer to that is obviously yes.
But that is not what your slogan is doing.
"Right to exist" in this context means:
"Does a self-defined Jewish state have the right to maintain a demographic majority and political supremacy even if it requires dispossession, siege, and permanent second-class status for the original inhabitants?"
That is not a right.
That is a demand for eternal impunity.
You can have equal rights for everyone between the river and the sea.
Or you can have a Jewish ethnocracy.
You cannot have both.
The "right to exist" language is just your way of avoiding saying out loud which one you choose.
Third:
"Palestinians have long lived alongside Israel in Gaza strip for millennia"
Israel has not existed for millennia.
Gaza has not always been a fenced-in strip.
You are mashing words together to hide the timeline.
For millennia, there were people living in that land: Canaanites, Philistines, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, and many others in between.
What you call "Israel" today is a modern state built in 1948 on top of their continuity.
Gaza as we know it now is not some cute example of coexistence.
It is the concentrated result of ethnic cleansing.
It is where many of the refugees from the villages your side emptied ended up.
They did not "live alongside Israel."
They were fenced, bombed, starved, and periodically massacred by it.
So let me answer you plainly.
Israel's "ancestral homeland" is the same soil where Palestinians planted their olive trees, buried their parents, and passed down their houses long before your state had a flag.
I am not saying Jews have no place there.
I am saying no group gets to turn myth into a weapon, erase the people already living there, and then hide behind the sacred phrase "right to exist" every time someone points to the bodies.
If Palestine truly stood as a free, equal land for all its inhabitants, from river to sea, Israel as an exclusivist project would not "stop existing."
It would simply lose its alibi.
Americans act like saying “Allahu Akbar” is the worst crime on earth and then be quoting their own bible verses while doing war crimes 💀 fucking hilarious
#BREAKING 🚨 The 2026 Adelaide Writers' Week has now been cancelled after more than 180 participants boycotted
The boycott happened after Palestinian-Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah was removed from the Writers' Week lineup because of "sensitivities"
Why is the premier of South Australia lying about a Palestinian writer being the cause of a Jewish writer not appearing at the 2024 festival, when the reason for his non-appearance online was his own scheduling difficulties, according to the festival chair?
@jk_rowling You *never spoke out for the plight of Palestinian women and children trapped in Gaza by brutal occupation of over 5 decades and illegal blockade for 2 decades while being hit with 11x Hiroshima…you already revealed yourself as a hypocrite, at best, a Zionist bigot at worse.
Yes, we should support the women of Iran who are deprived of universal human rights - however, your brand of selective feminism is not feminism. It’s cynical posturing to cover for the fact that you (and others) have abandoned the women and girls of Palestine/Gaza during an ongoing genocide; their universal human rights have been trampled on for decades. It’s a facet of privileged-white feminism that you choose to highlight the plight of women of colour when it won’t cost you a thing by way of book deals, adulation or status. Until you educate yourself about intersectionality - and walk the talk - you’re in no position to preach about “revealing yourself”.
In 2013, two of these countries (France and Italy) refused to allow Bolivia's presidential jet to enter their airspace because the US claimed, with no evidence, that Edward Snowden was onboard.
Austria ultimately forced the plane to land, demanding they be allowed to search for the whistleblower. Snowden, of course, was never onboard.
The US claim was completely false, but the incident made one fact very clear: Europe is perfectly willing to intercept a presidential jet, when they actually want to.
