Israel is a brand name for an entity that has no internationally recognized borders and has been in a constant state of war since before its founding.
The problem isn’t Hamas, the Palestinians, or the Arabs in general. The problem is the ideology that animates every decision Israel makes: Zionism. Violent resistance, no matter how abhorrent people might think it is, is a reaction to the implementation of the Zionist ideology.
Most observers believe that Zionism sought to create a safe space for Jews, and therefore believe it may have been a reasonable movement at one point because of the persecution of Jews.
That is pure Zionist propaganda. If that were the case, why didn’t the Zionists accept the Uganda plan at the first Zionist convention?
The truth is that Zionists needed the Holy Land in order to legitimize their goal: To transform Jews from a pacifist religious group awaiting a supernatural mega event into an anti-religious European-style nationalist movement that used Judaism as a mythology.
This transformation required the invention of a completely new “Hebrew” culture, a modern “Hebrew” language, a flag, and the conquest of land which happens to be inhabited.
That’s why Israel has been and still is constantly at war with Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians and Lebanese.
The Palestinian resistance is not fighting against Israel because Zionists claim to be Jews. They would fight any occupier, no matter what religion or nationality.
The peace process is a farce and only goes on because the U.S. props up corrupt regimes to be subservient to Israel with huge amounts of money.
Ironically, the peace process has radicalized Israeli society. That’s why they killed their own prime minister.
The way to make peace is to reject Zionism and the claim that Israel is a “Jewish state.”
Once the ideology of Zionism, which inherently affords Jews (as falsely defined by the Israeli government) supremacy is discarded, then Israelis and Palestinians can make peace.
Don’t let Zionists and their supporters gaslight you with claims that criticizing Israel is anti-Semitic. It’s the opposite. Israel’s actions, while claiming to be the state of the Jews, generate anti-Semitism. Zionists need anti-Semitism, because it feeds Zionist propaganda about needing a safe space.
I reiterate: To make peace, end Zionism. It’s that simple.
As I seem to be shadowbanned, I repeat:
The "riviera plan" for Gaza is nonsense, which nonetheless must be taken very seriously. President Trump has basically declared his intention to commit the int'l crime of forced displacement and resort to unlawful use of force against the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, in violation of the UN Charter - amounting to aggression.
The 191 members of the UN who still have an interest in protecting themselves from this madness, better recover from their paralysis and stand united against this imperialist lawlessness.
PS: In any case, this plan won't work. How do I know? 76 years of failed attempts by Israel, including 16 months of genocidal assault. Indigenous people do not leave their land.
Today as Aer Lingus pilots strike, BALPA is sending a message of solidarity to members of our sister union IALPA. Stay united. This video from the Pilots' Unions' of IAG Alliance is one of unity, strength and solidarity. #pilotunity@IALPA@sepla_pilotos@BALPApilots
DAL MEC Strike Preparedness Committee members show their support for Aer Lingus pilots! The pilot group is set to strike on Saturday, June 29, 2024. #DeltaPilots, please make the walk and ensure no Aer Lingus pilots are having difficulties getting on their flights.
While @AmericanAir executives gave themselves raises and bonuses up to 60% of their salary, their flight attendants have been without a pay raise for over five years.
We support @APFAUnity in their fight for a #ContractNow. #1u
Today our members picketed in Boston and Seattle in solidarity with the pilots of @AerLingus. Pilots around the world are united for fair wages, better working conditions, and respect on the job, and as the world’s largest pilots union we support our colleagues at @IALPA
We support our fellow union pilots at Aer Lingus as they continue their fight for fair wages, better working conditions, and respect on the job.

@IALPA@ALPAPilots
Aer Lingus Pilots have not had a pay rise since 2019.
IALPA Aer Lingus pilots deserve a meaningful pay increase.
Aer Lingus profits are up 400% .
Cost to pilots due to inflation are up over 20%.
Pilots deserve to protect their incomes.
