@kennardmatt Is there anything in Chomsky’s claim that in the 40s there were socialist/anarchist Zionists who were religiously motivated to move to Palestine but wanted to coexist with the people there and not establish a Jewish majority state etc?
@KirmiziKoseMMA “Right in the thick of the action.. with all the adrenaline” is literally all the time in an MMA fight, so what this basically amounts to is that back of the neck shots are legal.
@OmniscientMMA@kimurasport Yeah but as we know from the numerous war crimes going on with impunity around the world right now, it’s very hard to conclusively prove intentionality
@afneil There’s been a rise in anti-Semitism since the Israeli state started undertaking a live-streamed genocide and the Western media told us all that Israel represented all Jews
@CamillaTominey Exactly, so the political definition of that region would be determined *equally* amongst the people who live there. Something Israel has never been prepared to allow to happen because there would not be a Jewish majority
15-year-old Shamima Begum is groomed and trafficked to Syria by ISIS, kills no one, has her British citizenship revoked.
Dr. Eastland Staveley volunteers for the IDF, brags about killing Palestinian children, returns home, gets a job in the NHS.
Spot the difference.
If 41 Jews were killed in 24hrs, it would be called the nth worst antisemitic massacre since the holocaust.
When 41 Lebanese are killed by Israel in 24hrs, it’s called a ceasefire.
@phantomlight13@nicolelampert I think there’s a specific issue in this country with criticism of Israel and Zionist imperialism being conflated (sometimes cynically, sometimes ignorantly) with anti-Semitism. I don’t think it’s comparable to situations with other religious groups at the moment
@sleeepysandy If people who live in that land want to dissolve the state of Turkey they should be able to. Unfortunately many of the people who live in the land of Palestine don’t get a choice
@nicolelampert That’s because this isn’t really about anti-Semitism. It’s about whether you believe in the necessity of Western racialised colonial domination or not
