Sure, whatever, but also fuck Milei.

Omg STOP SHOUTING everywhere in this thread sheesh.

Ps. Fuck Milei.

Because context never matters anywhere, right? \s

In the West, it is a choice, and that is good. That’s what Iranian women also want: choice.

This echoes the argument against the prohibition of abortions. Pro-choice means that women can have the option to choose to have an abortion, not that they will be getting them for breakfast.

That’s the opening chapter of Kim Stanley Robinson 's Ministry for the Future book.

This is called moral courage.

Excellent point. There should also not be violence from Israel because it solves nothing. So end the fucking genocide, the occupation, the god damn apartheid.

So basically you are saying the settlers are like Israel’s human shields for the occupation and the Palestinians should not attack them? Excellent point, which of course should be applied also to the Gazan civilian population.

None of Israel’s allies are true friends of the Israeli people. Because friends don’t let friends commit genocide.

Just because there were all sorts of people living in historic Palestine that used the word “Palestinian” to mean a geographic origin does not mean that the people that are known today as Palestinians do not exist as a people with the right to its own self determination and nationhood. Saying that kind of thing because Palestinian Jews existed (who today in their vast majority clearly identify as blue-passport Israeli, and no longer as Palestinian) is at best as ludicrous as the stupid claim that “Arabs cannot possibly be anti-Semitic as they are themselves Semites”. At worst the denial of the existence of Palestinians as a people is Putin style genocidal language.

I don’t know of any Jewish people genuinely identifying themselves with that people. When Golda Meir was saying she is a Palestinian she was not identifying the Arabs, Muslims and Christians as her compatriots, she was doing it to deny them peoplehood. And again, no, the existence of the Mizrahim, the Arab Jews does not imply that the term Arab does not today have a specific meaning in the Israeli-Palestinian context. When Israeli fascists chant “death to Arabs” the don’t mean the Mizrahim…

On the other hand I know plenty Muslims, Christians and atheists who do identify as Palestinian. The Israeli state does the same thing giving these people green passports and prohibiting their descendants from entering.

I’m Greek. My country made a huge stupid stink about the Macedonians. The fact that historic Macedon was Greek does not mean that Macedonians as a people don’t exist. The fact that Macedonia the region contains Macedonian Greeks, Macedonian Albanians, Macedonian Bulgarians does not mean that the Macedonian people don’t exist. I’m an anti-nationalist from the Balkans, buddy, not some naive amerikanaki, ready to swallow national ideologies and mythologies with wide eyes.

Saying there are no Palestinians is up there with Putin saying there are no Ukrainians. This is genocidal hate speech. Fuck you. Fuck you, profoundly.

Before the Serbs started the genocide of Bosnians, they were the subject of atrocious attacks by Bosnians. Look up the Green Berets or Salon Mahmuljin. The Serbs were also carrying the memory of the Ustasha genocide against them during WW2. They had a victim mentality, they felt their national survival was at stake and they had been brutally attacked. They then committed genocide.

The atrocities of October 7 have (tragically!) been eclipsed by the genocidal campaign that has followed them.

I’m not saying you should hit the elderly person, I am saying I shouldn’t have punched you in the first place.

The analogy is more that the same bully who gave me complete impunity and no consequences when I punched you is now going around saying to stop people punching my friends because punching is wrong, but hey not for me, because I still get to punch whomever I like.

In 2011, Israel boarded a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid under Turkish flag and murdered a bunch of people (incl. an American).

This is an argument for the lifting of the Israeli blockade of Gaza. If Israel has the right to blockade Gaza, North Yemen should have the right to blockade Israel.

South Africa (a neutral third party) has submitted a very detailed accusation of genocide to the International Court of Justice. These news would be in line with that accusation. So I have no idea why you find this hard to believe.

Fuck Hamas. Talk to me about Fatah and Hezbollah.

Funny how when it comes to Israeli extremists we all discuss nuance and how complicated and messy politics and language is but when it comes to extremists in resistance organizations it’s immediately assumed that what they say colours the entire resistance.

Fantastic! Now undo occupation and apartheid!

The victims of the Holocaust have nothing to do with the crimes of these cretins.
