The Holocaust is trivialised by those who use its horrors and painful memories to justify present crimes, not those who refer to it in order to learn from the awful Past and, while commemorating its victims, say No More. Never Again. Against anyone.
In the face of 50,000 fellow humans killed by bombs, artillery, and sniper fire in 15 months (one third of whom are children), the harassment and vilification of people who stand against Israel's crimes is just unphatomable.
I hope there is an actual ceasefire in Gaza. But never forget that Biden could have ended this horror over a year ago, that the devastation could have been prevented, an entire generation of trauma avoided, but he chose to aid Israel’s slaughter at every turn.
He chose genocide.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that 99% of the people I talk to just want to die and think that death will finally give them a rest from all this. The Israeli government has created hell on earth for the people of Gaza .
jeg er litt der at hvis mistankegrunnlaget for at politiet skal stanse noen å prate med de er mulig bruk av ulovlige rusmidler så er det rimelig uforholdsmessig maktbruk å sende en politihund etter de.
trenger kanskje ikke bruke skarpt våpen for å avklare mulige bøteforhold?
“This degree is a waste of money—” Must everything be measured in terms of wages and profits? Shouldn’t it be enough just to read, to learn, to contribute to the sum total of the world’s knowledge? Dismissing the value of scholarship and the humanities is a kind of poverty.
The monstrosity of our time.
We know and pretend not to know.
We give it other names, we make up excuses.
Israel is erasing Palestinians from Palestine - starving, torturing to death, pulverising homes, schools, churches, trees, human bodies, burning them in tents - and we call is "self-defense".
Israel's self-defense is the defense of ideological hatred turned political doctrine. And genocide.
No group, including Jewish people, is entitled to an ethnostate. Ethnostates inherently privilege one group over others, requiring the displacement, oppression, and extermination of other peoples to sustain such a structure.
Zionism, as an ethnonationalist ideology, underpins the establishment and maintenance of Israel as a Jewish ethnostate, often at the expense of Palestinians- whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Atheist.
Critiquing Zionism is not equivalent to critiquing Jewish identity or Judaism; it is an examination of a political ideology that has led to the systemic dispossession, displacement, and ongoing genocide against the Palestinians. The forced removal of Palestinians from their homes and the denial of their rights—both in the past and present—reflect the practical consequences of prioritising one group’s national aspirations over the existence and sovereignty of another.
Ethnonationalism, regardless of the group promoting it, deserves scrutiny, as it directly fuels hatred, exclusion, violence, and the erasure of marginalised communities. Zionism is ethnonationalism. Ethnonationalism is inherently violent and hateful.
Israel’s genocide is a disturbing insight into human psychology, and how people are conditioned.
If a state hostile to the West committed this crime, there would be an immediate consensus that it underlines its utter depravity.
But because it’s an ally, there isn’t.
I'm so glad our finite sources of drinking water are being evaporated so people who have less creativity than a middle schooler can pretend to make stuff that looks like utter dogshit
