Reading How To Sell A Genocide, the NYT called every major population centre in the Gaza Strip a "Hamas stronghold" at some point.
They actively worked to militarise civilians in Gaza to justify genocide
I’m sorry but the opportunity for a simple democratic or two-state solution has long passed. When South African Apartheid ended, the question of how it should be handled was relatively straightforward, as granting democratic rights to the vast majority of the population theoretically ensured that the white minority government could be out-voted.
Israeli settler-colonialism and genocide has advanced to the point where Israeli Jews outnumber Palestinians. Treating this like a simple instituting of liberal democracy is very obviously not enough anymore.
There needs to be the same level of international accountability as the Nazi regime. We simply cannot allow Israelis to legitimize their oppression with a democratic vote; There is going to have to be fucking Nuremberg trials bare minimum
Kind of surreal to watch AIPAC flail around in the U.S. trying to deny the systemic sexual assault of Palestinian detainees while Israeli society acknowledges it, defends it, and celebrates it
Rafah is *at least* 42 times older than the State of Israel.
It was one of humanity's earliest settlements, and is referenced in texts from Bronze-age pharaohs.
Now it is no more. Totally destroyed before our eyes.
The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.
If someone says “fuck America” and YOU get personally offended it’s like, it didn’t have to be about you but since you identify with this imperial state that much fuck YOU TOO
The Democratic Party lost all 3 branches of government last year and decided to change absolutely nothing about how they operate.
They then hid their investigation into what went wrong, downplayed the corruption, the narcissism and their allegiances to a foreign country (Israel). They didn’t welcome anyone but billionaires and bigots into the party, while also defending their geriatric and dying members. They’ve fought against primaries saying that (certain) incumbents are owed their seats.
“It’s her time, it’s his time, democrats don’t run against democrats- unless they’re progressives then we can primary them!”- Nancy Pelosi
Professors shouldn’t have to wade through obvious landmines from fascist little rats intending to ruin their livelihood by weaponizing the Christian nationalist outrage machine against them like this
Yeah i don't care, if you run as a pro-Palestinian candidate and progressive then I will push to make sure you don't forget who elected you. You all should be doing the same bc the reason politicians capitulate is because we are satisfied when they give us crumbs.
This actually isn’t sewage. It’s worse.
This is “skunk” and it’s a chemical compound developed to smell like rotting corpses that Israel developed in the early 2000s to spray on protesters.
It lasts for days and there’s no way to remove the smell.
That’s what these evil people spray into the homes of Palestinians just because they can.
Just thinking again how Dems asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."
