Like I'm literally losing my mind that the "Western world order" people have now moved on to "you people just care about Palestine cause it's trendy! you leftists don't actually care about anyone's suffering!!"

 

Meanwhile this is the kinds of rhetoric sprawling across Zionist social media figures:

The same people who think you're evil if you're an American who doesn't vote are unmoved by this!!!

I also remember you posting your support for Israel because they are "a country for women, for LGBT+ people, for everyone." which isn't true since Israel bombs women and children and blackmails queer Palestinians.

 Members like that one are always a reminder that white liberals are not above seeing the world in a 'us vs. them' optic. The notion that the human rights, of anyone that is not a white westerner, is something that one must earn as a merit instead of an inherent right is crystal clear here.

 

For the sake of the argument only, let's take the horror inflicted on Palestinians by the regime aside for a minute, the idea that Israel is a progressive haven for it's own citizens is still a zionist myth far from the truth. First, it's hardly a secular state, you can not legally marry someone of a different religious faith, let alone someone of the same gender. Israeli society is deeply rooted on a socioeconomic inequality between Mizrahis and Ashkenazis. Ethiopian Jews are systematically treated as second-class citizens. 

 

It's honestly horryfying how the genocide of an entire group of people is an afterthought that can be compromised with a "well, the country isn't perfect, but they're trying at least!" footnote because, deep down, white liberals see human rights as a concept primarily designed for other white westeners. It partly explains why Ukraine, which was mentioned in the linked post made by the member you quoted, hardly has it's domestic relations with topics such as race and queerness discussed within mainstream liberal circles as a moral justification to one's support or lack of, something we constantly see happening for Palestine.

Maybe Ireland will be next 

 

 

The current Irish Gvt. won't agree to expel ambassadors generally; they haven't done it for Russia, and they say they want to keep the communication open for as long as Irish citizens exist in Israel (and vice-versa).

300k in DC and I marched with 50K here in San Francisco today twice the side of last weekend’s march here!

Oh? So you're Islamophobic? Got it! Supporting Palestine is not far-right, you islamophbe. Also, many leftists do not have favorable opinions about western countries for a reason. They were the main perpetrators of colonialism and exploited (still exploiting, by the way!) Middle Eastern, African, Asian, and other countries that are not in the white, first-world, global north country club.

 

I also remember you posting your support for Israel because they are "a country for women, for LGBT+ people, for everyone." which isn't true since Israel bombs women and children and blackmails queer Palestinians.

 

 

Also @Anthinos, this is peak white queer behaviour ✌🏾. Bog off islamophobe!

Some Zionists are just so insufferable. And they wonder why they are so unlikeable

An absolute clown.

This. The wars lost Zelensky, American people on both sides of the aisles are tired of paying for other people’s wars

The first "mistake" doesn't anymore because now they are literally openly bombing hospitals

Yessss give these bastards hell

Not them stealing Palestinian slogan too

Unfortunate reality is even with the withdrawal of US finnancial support, Israel would continue its actions. The finnancial support matters of course but its the unconditional military defense and geopolitical support that truly props up Israel.

 

What we need is not only a withdrawal of finnancial aid but also active opposition from the Biden administration. The Biden admin may be handwringing behind the scenes but they're not actually using the ample political power they have to pressure Israel in any meaningful way.  Biden could force a ceasefire tomorrow if he wanted.

 

But they don't. That's where the protests come in - was so heartened to see so many in DC yesterday. It may seem hopeless but people have got to do what they can

As a scientist in the biotech world, majority of my LinkedIn sphere seems to support Israel under the guise of “Hamas killing and holding babies/children hostages” 

 

It’s interesting to see how my professional sphere differs from online discourse.

South American governments doing the lord’s work with a mass mutual condemning of Israel’s actions  

https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/11/2/genocide-colombia-says-as-latin-american-states-condemn-israel-over-gaza

 

After being colonised by US-Europe for decades I can imagine it’s easy to spot another colonial project and genocide when it’s taking place.

 

Hoping the rest of the world stops tip toeing on the political fence and does the same.

There’s a march here in Mexico City tomorrow and I want to go but I also feel afraid because there’s a lot of people on social media mocking the march and the media is very pro-Israel and even in the last march (last Saturday) there were some protesters Pro-Israel screaming and attacking the Pro-Palestine protesters… I want to show my support but I also feel like it could be chaotic, I’m conflicted.

It’s important to educate yourself with multiple (more than 4) sources

That will always be the case. Oppressors (+ their sheep) will want to stop you from using your voice if the issue threatens their power positions and/or privileges.  

Don’t fall for their scare tactics. Irl I assure you so many people are on the streets showing up to these protests so you won’t feel alone. 

 

GO! The more support the better

Literal Nazi germany. All self-respecting and good moral Jewish people should abandon Israel immediately. It’s an ethno-state with a mission to only serve the Jewish - exactly as Germany wished to create an ethno-state only to serve an Arian race. The war is going to get bad. The US seem to be coaxing Iran to join the war. Israel and US are war mongers. Disgusting countries.

And he got suspended afterwards, not sure it's due to "too controversial statement" or simply because he leaked the actual plan
