What a terrible world we live in where you can google wild plants or bugs because you're interested in them and the first results are all "how do I kill this"

Where is the whimsy? Where is the kindness? Where is the love for the world we live in and the creatures we share it with? How did we reach this point?

It’s genuinely annoying how many people want Jews to think about Palestinians during our Saders.

Well, my family, and I will not.

It’s terribly sad what’s happening in Gaza, but don’t expect Jews on a holiday where we celebrate our liberation and remember our suffering to turn it into another group’s tragedy.

No, that’s not how it works.

Sorry, not sorry.

what happens when a country that builds its propaganda on the fact that it’s the protector of Jewish people turns around and oppresses the indigenous land stewards?

your religion is being used as a tool by settler colonial state actors to promote genocide and you don’t think they owe you any accountability for why they’re using that rhetoric to commit genocide

“sorry the country i support has killed 34,000 people, including 13,000 children in 6 months but im focused on my suffering” lmao loser

I care for the people that have lost their lives, but yeah, on the holiday of Passover I am focused on the suffering of my People, and not other peoples. That’s the whole point of Pesach.

If you care so much, start your own holiday for Palestinians, but don’t expect Jews to not focus on our people on a holiday about our liberation and suffering.

“Propaganda of protecting the Jewish people,” wow you got it correct besides the propaganda. The state of Israel was started as a safe heaven for the Jewish people, that’s why it was mainly established by Holocaust survivors.

Not to mention that Palestinians aren’t the indigenous people, it is the Jews. Palestinians are Just Arabs. Palestinian isn’t even an ethnicity just a nationality, that’s why they can’t be indigenous to Israel or the Levant in general.

So to end this, I still don’t feel bad for focusing on Jews on this holiday.

Very interesting considering the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs and the United Nations recognize people living in Palestine as indigenous

All I’m saying is that it is vastly hypocritical to be silent on a holiday aimed at honoring the suffering and liberation of your ancestors when a nation-state is using your religion and your ancestors as a rationale for why the destruction of another group of people is justified.

“Palestinians are just Arabs” well that’s a pretty convenient point to make when you leave out that Israel granted citizenship only to Jewish Palestinians, thus adopting them as Israelis, without acknowledging the right to sovereignty and self-determination of the non-Jewish Palestinians

Interestingly enough, despite being ‘indigenous’, the founder of the Zionist movement was part of the Uganda Scheme to establish a temporary ‘Jewish homeland’ in Uganda, with backing from the then British Empire. Argentina and Mozambique were also on the shortlist.

Again, lmao what a loser

Dude, you’re own article proves you wrong.

Bedouins are an indigenous group of the Levant, but they aren’t Palestinians, they are their own specific ethnic group, and they have many communities in Israel. Besides Palestinians have nothing that make them indigenous to the land, no archaeological evidence, no special language, no special religion, nothing special to the land to them.

Here’s more about actual Bedouins, not Palestinians.

Also “people living in Palestine as indigenous” oh so Jewish Israelis too, glad you mentioned them.

Also the name Palestine comes from the Romans, it’s not even an indigenous name.

Israel didn’t just grant citizenship to Jewish people in 1948 if that’s what you mean, they granted it to everyone, including around 150,000-120,000 arab people still left in the land.

I mean also if you want to talk about it their are still 2,000,000 Arab citizens in Israel, with fully rights, and they have the complete right to determine.

And you can’t complain that Israel doesn’t give Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank, those same rights, because their literally ruled by different governments.

Also I don’t care if you consider it hypocritical, I do not own any other group my attention on a holiday about the suffering and liberation of my people. Palestinian or not.

Also the Uganda plan wasn’t because Jews were indigenous there, it was a temporary land for Jewish refugees, mostly from Russia. Don’t just spew nonsense, and then not expect it come back and bite you in the ass.

LMFAOOOO

To say that Palestinians have no connection to the land that is based on your own evidence is simply misguided. It does not prioritize traditional knowledge that has been practiced by Palestinians. A 3,000 year old claim starts from the inception of Abrahamic teachings. That framework of the construction of time is flawed because you’re using the timeline you accept as history to implement on another group of people. Israel has actively participated in efforts to erase the Palestinian identity like trying to rename the Palestine sunbird

As for your claim to name, how many names in America do you think were changed? NYC was originally Lenapehoking, but we don’t call it that anymore. Does that mean the Lenape people aren’t indigenous to NYC? We (the English speaking world) have adopted Palestine through the Greek because historically, western civilizations have viewed their own knowledge as superior. Just to be extra clear, Israel is a state actor for the West. It was created in the interests of upholding colonialism and capitalism for America and England.

Oh we’re talking about Israel imposing martial law on Palestinians after being given the power to do so by the West. Right, let’s look at said martial laws:

wow, what a great way to show people you’re not here to displace and oppress them

I’m glad your source mentioned the ITO because if it wasn’t for Britain taking control of Palestine, they very well could’ve had their new Israel in Australia. Yet, the fact that the Israeli settlers colluded with the British Empire to gain land that was never the British’s to negotiate in the first place shows just how deeply aligned the state of Israel is to upholding colonialism. It was created because of it!

I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say

kill one group of aid workers with explicit intent so that all other potential or currently operating aid organizations pull out of the region to ensure gaza starves with no one willing to risk helping her people. deep sickness
