I cannot read such things without remembering wat happened to my own family after Pearl Harbor when we and 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in prison camps for years, without charge or trial.

[ID: Twitter thread by lina 🇵🇸 @LinaPosting from October 24, 2023 that reads: a seeming contradiction in zionist thought is whether or not Gaza counts as a state. if Gaza is not a state, but is in fact a territory controlled by Israel, Israel's actions toward it do not count as retaliation against a government, but against a civilian population (1/x)

and is a retaliation against a civilian population within its own jurisdiction. if Gaza is a state, then Israel's blockade and sieges of Gaza are in of themselves a declaration of war, and would be if done against any other country.

this kind of 'quasi-state' status Zionists seem to be projecting has no basis in law and is self contradictory. Either Gaza is a state, in which case its rights and sovereignty are aggrieved, or it is not a state, in which case as a territory it is supposed to be administered

in accordance with international law as an occupied territory, which it is not.

Zionists want Gaza to be a state for the purposes of an 'invasion' of Israel, but not to be a state for the purposes of the multitude of realities which would be a provocation of war if the former case were true. An occupied population cannot conduct an 'invasion'

of the occupying country. An occupying power has particular obligations toward the territory it occupies, which Israel does not meet, and an occupying power cannot be 'provoked' by an occupied population into war.

this is all, of course, the long way around for Israel to avoid acknowledging that Gaza and the West Bank are effectively part of Israel, and as such its policy toward seemingly permanently 'occupied' territory pending final status resolution is apartheid

This is not some petty side tangent, it’s at the core of Israeli policy toward Gaza. Israel inflicts the worst possible outcome toward Gaza and then takes contradictory positions to make it seem like it’s acting against an unruly neighbor rather than the Ghetto that Gaza is

Great piece helping expose Germany (and frankly the US's) strategic weaponization of antisemitism against both German Jews and Palestinians.

[ID: Tweet by Ryan Hickey @RyanRyan_Hi from October 26, 2023 that reads: There is this deeply held idea in the US/Germany that BC of our history of violence against Jews, *we* know what antisemitism looks like BC we perfected it. Therefore *we* get to decide who is & is not antisemitic, precluding any critique of Israel. End ID]

[ID: Verified Facebook post by Ijeoma Oluo reposted on the verified instagram IjeomaOluo, the original post text reading: The idea that Palestinian liberation would require the mass killing of Jewish people is so fucking racist and i boggles the mind how many so-called progressives believe it.

Y'all sound like white supremacists warning of "white genocide" and it's fucking embarrassing.

If your safety requires the occupation, imprisonment, and oppression of a people: you don't have safety and you never will. Because everything you have will be inherently violent and must be upheld through violence and you will continue to justify that violence with the racist idea that those you oppress must be even more violent and oppressive than you, and you will use resistance to that oppression to feed the fear needed to maintain this cycle.

If you feel that a people has to "earn" their liberation by meekly submitting to oppression: [caps] You are racist. [end caps]

If you feel that a people have to prove that they will be "responsible" with their liberation like they're fucking children: [caps] You are racist. [end caps]

And your inherent belief in your own superiority (that you refuse to investigate) will have you saying that your manufactured fear of what could be for you or for those you identify with on a global colonial scale matters more than the devastating reality of what you are doing now to those you deem less than.

You don't get to say: we created this violent system of oppression but now we have to maintain it because we shouldn't have to take any personal risk to dismantle it, so whelp: I guess folks stay oppressed forever. [caps] Do you get how fucking evil this is?? [end caps]

If the idea of Palestinian liberation makes you feel unsafe - [caps] If the simple thought of freedom for a people makes you feel threatened [end caps] - you need to take a good hard look at yourself and your bigotry.

This is how a genocide happens. Because of you. You are on the wrong side of history. End ID]

[ID: Text from the article that reads: Further, the plan states the government must launch a public relations campaign that will promote the transfer program to western states in a way that does not promote hostility to Israel or damage its reputation. The deportation of the population from Gaza must be presented as a necessary humanitarian measure to receive international support. Such a deportation could be justified if it will lead to "fewer casualties among the civilian population compared to the expected number of casualties if they remain,” the document says.

The document also states that the US should be leveraged to pressure Egypt to take in the residents of Gaza, and to encourage other European countries, and in particular Greece, Spain and Canada, to help take in and settle the refugees who will be evacuated from Gaza. End ID]

All the pro-zionists who have made videos mocking the deaths of thousands and thousands of Palestinian children, I've screen recorded and saved everything.

Just as how they were still trying people who supported the nasty nazis in court years afterwards, I pray they will do the same for these murderers. End ID]

[ID: Text reading: “Attacks against civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes,” pointed out Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission. “Cutting off men, women, children [from] water, electricity and heating with winter coming,” she continued—“these are acts of pure terror.” Von der Leyen is right, of course, but in this instance she was referring to Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure. As for Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s infrastructure, Von der Leyen says that Israel has the right to defend itself. End ID]

this, after biden spewed some degenerate bullshit about palestinians lying about their casualties. and the gaza health ministry released a 212 page report detailing the names, families and ID's of every single martyr, including hundreds of palestinians who could not be identified at the time of death and burial.

Genocidin’ Biden

[ID: Ten tweets by Angel @MyHandsRatedE that altogether read: Genocide Joe is not getting another term so y'all can cut this "rally around the flag" bull shit out. The American people are homeless/nearly homeless, starving, and underpaid and overworked. Let it fucking go [caps] Now [end caps]

Baby the people are calling you Genocide Joe. Even if folks forgot specific details about the atrocities, you cannot run from a name like that

As soon as I saw that name I knew this shit was [caps] Over [end caps] over. It's quick, easy, simple, and flows well. It sticks

They will not forget that when COVID required a governmental response and money to upgrade ventilation system, we were instead forced to held this airborne virus at an individual level.

Where unspent money could have been allocated to new ventilation, it was going to these over expanded police forces instead

People will not forget the family members they've lost to this virus and/or becoming disabled because of it

People will not forget having to buy less groceries every time they go into the store

People will not forget downsizing everything. People will not forget moving back in with their parents and grandparents.

Ain't nobody finna forget how this shit impacts our every waking day and we had to witness as that fake state go through bombs like it was water. We've witnessed mass torture.

And you think folks gone forget how them PPP loans were forgiven for people who were already wealthy ??? Lol
