  • It’s twofold, oppressors want to scare anyone from making public statements about the genocide and want to show they have the power to do so no matter the venue.

    And it’s also different in that this is a massive tour with a massive audience throughout all of the US where they are actively trying to shut down any talk about the Israeli genocide of Palestinians that the US supports.

    People hate her because misogyny and ableism.

    I kind of disagree

    It’s become a huge story because of the support and empathy that she’s getting, while the other cases of infanticide don’t receive attention or support (and rightfully so).

    Still doesn’t make the choice for babysitter any easier










  • I’m sorry, him calling the IDF moral?

    When asked about the IDF, Alexander stated that they were humane and noble, stating “some of the finest, most humane, most admirable, most noble-serving soldiers that I’ve ever seen” and that “there can never be any doubt that I am also an advocate for Israel”

    There’s nothing absolute in saying someone who says the above is a hardcore Zionist.

    If you want to dig deeper into the silly little nonprofits he supports, they’re the same bullshit veneer of advocating for a two state solution but not actually listening to Palestinian voices or pushing the needle in Israel in the slightest.

    He’s the average liberal Zionist who thinks apartheid is fine and that it can be reformed - this has been the biggest cover for the worst of Zionism.

    And if you don’t think of any level of Zionism (an ethno supremacist, colonial, and genocidal ideology) as hardcore, then that’s on you.

    Don’t fall for the hasbara that Israel spreads.

    Hamas is only one of many resistance groups in Gaza. And the ideologies range massively from far left to far right. It’s how they’re able to sustain a prolonged resistance against Israel’s constant aggression.

    Focusing on Hamas’s leadership - they have been mostly centrist and advocate for equal rights of all, with outliers that are more right wing and Israel repeatedly kills off the moderates in the party for a reason. Israel wants the hardwingers to be more prominent. Israel even wanted to bring back Ahmedenijad as president of Iran and that guy is the poster child of “death to the infidels”.

    You’re also equating Palestinians with Hamas too, don’t do that.



  • The context of the post and comment are about liberal zionism, and the extended context is that a liberal zionist is just as bad as a fascist, which is true. The big common denominator (amongst many other things) being genocide.

    Israel has been largely headed by liberal zionists for the majority of it’s genocidal colonial history so far. It’s only recently that the rightwing have gained the majority they enjoy now. And they both agree on the genocide, just differ on the optics and language used.
