Well, today some of my posts were removed because of "Holocaust Inversion".
What a load of rot. Claiming that #Israel is doing the same as what was done to the #Jews by the then #German#Nazis is a statement of an observable fact. It is not #antisemitic or implies all of the #Jewish people.
Yes, I did appeal, but to be honest I don't expect much from this.
To me, this removal of my posts is an indication that some person(s) controlling mastodon.social are bowing to #Zionist pressure.
What would you call a society this genocidal whose blood thirst is still at this, after massacring 30,000 Palestinians & still continue to massacre them?
Most protests we hear about removing Nethanyahu are largely about internal power struggle, but not against genocide itself.
#Israel really became the New #Nazi State. It actually started in 1948 but increasingly progressed over the decades to reach this stage. And most #Israelis are just fine with that. Time for the world as a whole to realise what they are dealing with. And that includes especially the #USA.
Israel claims there is not a policy to forcibly expel Palestinians in Gaza, but direct testimonies from people arriving in Rafah reveal there is a ethnic cleansing campaign taking place around Gaza City.
Ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians, in one form or another, have been going on since at least 1948. Why would it currently be any different now? By denying the obvious, does #Israel thinks we're all fools and can't see what's happening?
“Medical teams have added a new acronym to their vocabulary. WCNSF: wounded child, no surviving family,” he said. “Children who survive this war will not only bear the visible wounds of traumatic injuries but the invisible ones, too — those of repeated displacement, constant fear and witnessing family members literally dismembered before their eyes. These psychological injuries have led children as young as five to tell us they would prefer to die.” #Gaza#WarCrimes
And the #Israelis believes that their #genocidal actions in #Gaza will make #Hamas disappear? They're creating a whole generation of #Palestinians who will hate #Israel with an intensity never seen before.
Please open your eyes. Through its indiscriminate killing of defenceless #Palestinian women, children and men, Israel is in the process of ripping itself apart. #Netanyahu will be despised, not revered, by future generations.
#Hamas = terrorism at a retail scale. #Israel = terrorism at a wholesale scale, starting in earnest since about 1948.
But no-one with even a half-functioning moral compass.
Screaming "#antisemitism" when people point-out the atrocities #Israel is committing in #Gaza is the surest way of guiding people towards #antisemitic feelings. And that's not fair at all to the #Jewish people as a group. But #Netanyahu et al. won't care. In a way they are the biggest antisemitism promoters there are.
The US vetoing the Arab-backed resolution is disgusting, but I think this point from their (USA's) counter resolution speaks to, in coded language, the fact they believe Israel is on the verge of or planning full on ethnic cleansing and that is likely a real "red line". If Israel pursues this, and the USA withdraws from their decades-long unequivocal support for Israeli policy, then the entire dynamic in Middle East geopolitics could completely change, and not to Israel's benefit.
"In another criticism directed at Israel, the U.S. draft condemns calls by government ministers for the resettlement of Gaza and rejects an attempt at demographic or territorial change in Gaza that would violate international law.”
“If Israel pursues this, and the USA withdraws from their decades-long unequivocal support for Israeli policy …”
Simply won’t happen. #Biden has shown to be an incorrigible #Zionism supporter, even if this is against his own political advantage. A window-dressing statement here and there won’t change anything.
#Trump’s attention-seeking ego will be pandered to by #Netanyahu et al. and Trump will also continue support.
That’s a statement of #MAGA-like proportions in its stupidity and attempt to mislead. The vast majority of the #IDF’s weaponry is #USA made and she will know that.
“When you ask the question about keeping Putin in check, you look at the actions and the administration of Donald Trump, and you come to one clear conclusion that without question, Ukraine was safer, the world was safer, and America was certainly safer,” Scott added. - The only way that the US and the world would be ‘safer’ under Trump is because Trump would just be Putin’s lapdog and allow Putin to do as he pleases. Safe as a slave that would be, nothing more.
37% of the activists arrested in #Germany on #antisemitism charges in the past 130 days have been #Jewish. #Jews make up less than 1% of the total population of Germany. Think about what that means.
Germans learned nothing beyond how to manufacture and promote a semblance of reconciliation in which Jews are a mere transference object through which Germans may be absolved of the crimes of Nazism and the #Nakba. When we no longer function as objects that Germans can transfer their responsibility for genocide onto — when we no longer serve to act as an insurance policy on their responsibility for crimes of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and the commercial war economy of the imperial core — then suddenly Germans become the victims of antisemitism visited upon the German people by the Jews.
A society where that is even fathomable has not actually repented for the #Holocaust. Which is exactly why Germany is the world's #1 champion of the genocide in #Gaza.
“37% of the activists arrested in #Germany on #antisemitism charges in the past 130 days have been #Jewish. #Jews make up less than 1% of the total population of Germany. Think about what that means.” - It shows that there are a lot of #Jewish people who do understand that “never again” means “never again for all”. What percentage of the #Jews who live in #Israel, and therefore have more influence, also have that understanding is most important factor.
I just need to highlight these posts by @Sherifazuhur : Israel kills journalist Muath Mustafa Al-Ghefari, his wife, and their son, Joud, this afternoon by bombing their car near the Sheikh Radwan pool north of Gaza City.
Ramy Abdu: Israel has just killed political analyst Dr. Ayman al-Rafati. Al-Rafati had been hosted by Al Jazeera last night as a guest from Gaza. It is evident that Israel seeks to silence any voice from Gaza.
Trump probably thinks #NATO is some kind of paid service /guns for hire, he doesn't have a clue about the nature, background and working of the treaty. European leaders should be worried if they weren't already and speed up preparations for a Trump presidency. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68266447 #trump#nato#geopolitics
To be honest, the lacksy-daisy, we'll worry about this tomorrow, attitude to self-defence of quite a few #Western#European countries is biting them on the backside big time now.
If the media at large does not put on blast this orange goblin's insane call inviting Russia to literally attack NATO allies, then the media has more than failed the American public. They have shown they can no longer function to do their job.
If #Trump gets his isolationist way & #Fascist#Russia gets to progressively control more and more of #Western#Europe, how long will it be before #Putin, or a successor, will demand #Alaska? Does #Trump really believe that the #USA will be safe from #Russian aggression?
"Biden repeatedly claimed, eg, that he saw photos of beheaded babies, even after the White House said he hadn't - & begged him to stop repeating the claim." - Well, you must understand where #Biden is coming from. His desire to support #Israel's #genocide is stronger than his desire to adhere to the truth.
Hey #Biden are you watching this? Or, are you covering your eyes and ignore your conscience so that you can continue to support the #Israeli genocide of the #Palestinian people without having to puke.
Netanyahu sees captives in Gaza as ‘acceptable collateral damage’
Shahram Akbarzadeh, a professor of Middle East and Central Asian politics at Deakin University, says Israel’s leader is averse to signing a truce deal as it would give Hamas credibility and recognition.
“He knows his political future is very much tied to right-wing politicians and he’s not going to antagonise them by stepping back from destroying Hamas.”
The problem #Netanyahu has is that #Hamas is not just an organisation but first and foremost an idea. In essence Hamas is a representation of a mental construct that was formed and enforced, again and again, during the decades of #Israeli persecution of the Palestinian population of the region. Maybe Hamas can be destroyed, but the resistance, the idea, cannot and, unless Israel's attitude towards the Palestinians changes, it will return time and time again.
HRW said that the decision by 18 governments to suspend funding to UNRWA comes months after Israeli authorities cut off essential services, including water and electricity to Gaza.
Israeli forces are deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food, and fuel, willfully impeding humanitarian assistance & razing agricultural areas.
Unless governments reverse their decisions to suspend aid to UNRWA, they risk contributing to the current catastrophe.
#Biden is an incorrigible supporter of #Zionism. That much is clear. And he’s also a fool if he thinks that supporting a #genocide is going to help him politically.
He can pretend whatever he wants. As others have said, actions speak louder than words, and his actions are to support #Israel’s #genocide. And that makes a morally deficient individual.
If there’s one common thread throughout the ‘evidence’ the IDF shows to substantiate their claims, it’s that their evidence never quite qualifies as proper evidence.
Nancy Pelosi’s Rant Against Cease-Fire Supporters Will Hurt Biden’s 2024 Campaign
"The ex-speaker’s “delusional” attack insults millions of voters—and reveals the scorching ignorance of top Democrats about the depth of opposition to Israel’s war."
If the #Democrats lose the election, it will be because they woefully underestimate the disgust many people feel for the #USA-assisted #genocide that #Israel is currently committing. Maybe they do know but just don’t want to know.
UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 massacre. At least 12 employees were involved in the assault and even used U.N. vehicles and facilities during the terror attack.
"So, it didn't take decades of anything for hatred of the State of #Israel." - Yep, the 1948 forceful dispossession of thousands of Palestinians by Israeli settlers, supported by the then armed Israeli forces, did the trick there...
