18 hours agoIt’s the NY Times. They have a picture of Herzl in their New York office. There is a strong Liberal Zionist slant to everything they do.

Don’t mind space cowboy, he’s a progressive in most things except Palestine. Probably a liberal Zionist because he’s pretty negative towards the plight of Palestinians
It’s really sad to see the infection of not reading has spilled over to Lemmy. Maybe Meta or TikTok are more your speed?
The three concerts were organised as benefit events, with all funds going to 12 Palestinian supporting organisations, including Medical Aid for Palestinians, Jewish Voice for Peace, Palestinian Youth Movement, Institute for Middle East Understanding and Glia.
If that’s the ploy that Syria is doing, then that’s actually pretty smart. But like you said, this defense alliance would fall apart the second that joining in wouldn’t be politically positive for them.
They might actually put an addendum in the defense pact saying “but if you’re attacked by a western imperial state and/or it’s proxy, then tough luck”.
That still won’t stop Israel from annexing more Syrian territory though.
“but the genocide is all Bibi’s fault”.
Nah, that’s Peter Thiel who said it out loud.

And she said that it’s been that way for decades, not just the past 3 years. Israelis know how shitty their country is. The majority are just such rightwing psychopaths that everyone else goes with the flow.
Most Isrealis are aware thats happening
Most Israeli civilians are active participants and even their news outlets openly report about it. Their polling shows full support for it.
It’s not that israelis are remotely aware, it’s that are fully aware and they want it to happen.

So while you can say that the Germans knew - which, again, is massively debated to what extent the average German knew. Like you said, they knew about people being rounded up and assumed it was for immigration/relocation not mass murder in gas Chambers and it was wilful ignorance at best - there is absolutely no debate that Israelis fully know, encourage it, support it, their politicians and soldiers share videos on social media of torture camps, they have processions calling for death, etc.
Worth seeing the NAZA documentary (not the fake one that Israel put out to mislead people).
No, my tune wouldn’t change.
The Germans had a famous saying post-ww2. “We didn’t now about it”. Can’t say the same about Israelis.
And what was happening to the indigenous people in Canada? What policies? I’m curious to know what claims you’re making because so far you’ve been very general.
I hope you’ll forgive my tone because trying to compare history in a certain framing and anachronistically to today is what Israelis use to justify their continued colonization and genocide.
some of the Arab parties are also pro apartheid
Which ones? Name them
Also nothing I said was whataboutism, darvo or whatever
Yes, you did. By bringing up Canada’s colonial history, that is a “tu quoque”, which is classic deflection.
And let’s assume that the apples and oranges that you’re comparing anachronistically is even relevant - hypocrisy doesn’t make the claim any less true.
By Israeli civilians own polls 64% believe there are no innocents in Gaza (including children). By Israelis own actions (blocking aid trucks) they have helped facilitate the genocide. By Israelis own public rhetoric by politicians and the citizens, they want a genocide. The NAZA documentary shows clearly how there is glee in the murdering of innocent people and that it’s murder en masse.
That is in contrast to Nazi Germany where the civilians didn’t know the Holocaust was happening and it was done in secret.
Israelis know about it, the world has laws against it, the video evidence is overwhelming and is everywhere, and they still provide full throated support for it. And that’s why I say that Israelis are worse than Germans during Nazi Germany.
Putting aside the whataboutism, the historical anachronism, and the DARVO.
Canadian citizens are reckoning with it’s colonial past during the colonial period in the 17th century, it’s people now (who before were British subjects) understand the genocide, learn about it in school, and don’t support it.
While Israeli civilians (not just the IDF) blockade food trucks, have rallies for torturers and torture camps, ~80% say the IDF isn’t doing enough in Gaza, believe that killing children is ok because “they’re future terrorists”, have annual flag march calling “death to Arabs”, and fully agree on genocide – and this is after a whole system of laws have been created and humanity, as a whole, has a better understanding of it (except Israelis apparently).
Israelis (as a populace) are 100x worse than the Nazis. Not just their ruling parties, but their people. Irredeemable in every way.
AES explicitly says that he’s not a socialist, that he’s a capitalist. Which makes this less about ‘governance ideology’.
This is 100% because he wants US taxes to help Americans, not foreign states.
