A Textbook Case of Genocide
A Textbook Case of Genocide
Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?
Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?
The world is listening. But the world is not allowed to say anything because the moment they criticise Israel's government they are obviously evil anti-semites that should be shot on the spot.
Right now every single article criticising Israel's government is drowned out by two dozen articles about all those despicable anti-semites everywhere excusing Hamas terrorism. Doesn't matter that it's a lie, that noone actually excused those terrorist acts. It's just a rediculous over the top strawman.
But this ist our new post-factual reality. Those who scream their lie the loudest are right.
Hamas Rebels carried out an effective terrorist attack in retaliation to years of GLOBALLY SANCTIONED terrorism at the hands if Israel.
Now what was are observing is Israel quadrupling down on their terrorist activities whilst simultaneously waging an infowar.
Who do you think is more equipped to wage an infowar? A first world, heavily subsidized, safe government with all of the state of the art technology a little terrorist state can ask for? Or a poor destitute region whose infrastructure has been absolutely devastated over the decades, is again getting pummeled at full force, where hundreds if not thousands are getting ruthlessly slaughtered daily?
And Israel is STILL losing the infowar.
Why? Because the people of the world know exactly what is occurring but the governments of the world are so overwhelmingly corrupt that they maintain status quo so they also continue to get their shares of the subsidies.
Earth is fucked.
You know you can support the Palestinan cause without having to lie egregiously right. In terms of support, this is not "A first world, heavily subsidized, safe government" [...] versus "a poor destitute region" alone.
Like Israel has the US as an ally, there is massive financial support from different oil-rich, Middle Eastern countries in the infowar in favor of Palestine. From one side Iran, which is sworn enemies with Israel, and is financing Hezbollah in Lebanon. From another Qatar, where Hamas leaders are (were? I've seen reports of them moving so I may be out of date) living in luxury. Hell, even Russia is probably using their troll farms because making Israel look bad makes the US look bad and there is no way they would miss that chance.
People & governments of the Global South have plenty to say right now, though few of us in the Global North will hear them unless we go out of our way.
noone actually excused those terrorist acts.
In Professor Joseph Massad’s newest article on The Electronic Intifada, he wrote that the attack that occurred in Israel on October 7th was a “stunning victory” and that Hamas' actions were “astounding,” “awesome,” and “incredible.”
And he doesn't teach at some no name place either. Dude teaches at Columbia
....and not one of those evil words is an ethical judgement, yet, you choose to interpret them this way, because in a black and white narrative, every speck of dust on your white narrative, must mean the other person is completely in camp black.
This is exactly what was criticized above. There's no room for any thought. It's just Israel, fuck yeah! or antisemite; Palestine, fuck yeah! or genocide supporter.
Ja, ne. Du bedienst hier doch auch ne Strohpuppe. Die Welt darf nichts sagen? Komm, du weisst das stimmt nicht. Sonst würde doch auch keiner wissen, wie beschissen es in Gaza aussieht. Dass Israel dort noch nicht einmarschiert ist, zeigt wie sehr auch die westliche Gemeinschaft das israelische Militär vom Schlimmsten abhalten will. Ich weiss nicht, was du liest, aber schau dir mal den Guardian gerade an. Hier gibt es eine Vielfalt an Stimmen zum Konflikt. Vertreter Israel‘s, Gründer des BSD, geben hier sehr konträre Ansichten. Aber auch in deutschen Medien wird doch nicht wenig auf das Leid der Palästinenser hingewiesen. Dass Leute, die Hamas und ihre verabscheuungswürdigen Taten zum Befreiungskampf stilisieren, zurechtgewiesen werden, gerade halt auch in unserem Land, sollte dich nicht so radikalisieren.
Because conservatives in the US are using it as a playbook for the next 10 years.
We’re listening… the message is loud and clear, but the far right extremists in this country will never stop supporting Israel. They’re okay with atrocities committed against Muslims. Hell even the antisemites of the far right are cheerleaders for Israel. Meanwhile the rest of us are horrified by the actions of both sides and are fully aware that both sides are far right religious extremists.
The Biden administration is deciding US policy in this matter.
So just bog-standard right-wingers, then?
That's right, the far right extremists who are currently in charge of US government are supporting a genocide.
It's not just the far right extremists, the average liberal is for it as well. But then again the average liberal is one villain arc from going full nazi germany, so...
Well, let's face it... the "western world" is listening - and it likes what it is hearing. Just like the "western world" liked what it was hearing when Hitler and the Nazis explicitly stated what they were planning to do in the run-up to WW2.
That's it. Launch the fucking nukes, ALL OF THEM, EVERYWHERE, at the whole goddamn region. If neither side is going to spare each other's kids, I want that whole area fucking gone.
I know that won't happen so I'm going to fucking kill myself. I hate every last one of you, humanity is nothing more than spiteful monsters and I refuse to live in a world where my choices are comfortable misery and uncomfortable misery. Moving to the middle of nowhere is not my idea of "freedom".
Classic.
