Reminder, not mentioning Hamas when criticizing the Israeli government, or even just criticizing the Israeli government at all, is not Antisemitic.
The IDF is committing genocide, period. Zionist Israel does not represent all Jewish people.
If I talk about the genocide of Indigenous people on Turtle Island, does that mean that I'm racist against Whites and spouting hate speech against all people descended from European settler nations?
I am begging you all once more to understand - the point of bringing up the decades long and systematic abuse, apartheid, and Occupation by the Israeli government of Palestinians ISN'T to "excuse" Hamas. It's to point out that it will be IMPOSSIBLE to build a lasting peace even IF Hamas is removed, as long the deliberate and ongoing IDF and Occupation violence continues.
Genocide apologist are safe and welcome at #mastodon dot social. This person has dedicated their time to harass, lie and libel the @palestine They keep spreading proven lies as the "beheaded babies" and "mass rapes" (there's zero evidence of either), yet Mastodon dot social mods don't do anything about this obvious troll, while they ban pro-Palestine accounts.
« … the time is now to force compliance with US law and the standards of humanity, and fulfill our obligations to the American people to suspend the transfer of US weapons to the Israeli government in order to stop and prevent further atrocity… »
I don't mean to be all political, but I do not think killing over 3,000 children, including premature babies, is the best way to show that you condemn terrorist violence.
"Three months ago there were 36 hospitals in Gaza. This morning there are none. Zero. All have been bombed by Israel. The same country that claimed at the International Court of Justice that they would never attack a hospital." #freepalestine#gaza#Israel
« … we're not waiting on the Israelis anymore… this is a moment for American leadership … »
« … Biden said at the beginning "don't make the mistakes we did in Iraq"… so that was quite a coded message… here they're saying "right, we've had enough, we've waited long enough, we're going to sort out this aid issue" … »
November 29 is the Innational Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. 🍉

Report: 7 October testimonies strike major blow to Israeli narrative
New first-hand accounts from witnesses of Israel’s clashes with Hamas militants on 7 October suggest that, in their desperation to contain the surprise incursion, Israeli troops indiscriminately fired on their own citizens with heavy weaponry, resulting in potentially scores of Israeli deaths from so-called “friendly fire”.
“So many members of my family died in the Holocaust. And it’s absolutely horrifying that claims of antisemitism are being attributed to criticism of Israel. ”
The second day of the hearings in South Africa's case against 'israel' in the International Court of Justice on the allegation of genocidal intent is starting now.
From an interview with a Hasidic Jewish person in Israel, taken by The Ask Project (see explainer article below):
Interviewer: "Does everyone who lives here deserve to be treated the same way?"
Interviewee: "I think not. I think this is the nation of the Jews and that the Jews should have more rights than the non-Jews. I think that each Jew should get a plot of land and non-Jews shouldn't" https://archive.ph/cN0yM #CeasefireNow#GazaGenocide#FreePalestine#Apartheid
Anarchists in South Florida re-affirm the Palestinian people’s right to wage war against the colonizer zionists. 75 years of undeterred revolution against the settler state of Israel — a feat that all liberatory movements must look to in admiration.
4 banners hang over i75 in West Miami Dade, adorned with anarchist As, flowers, the Palestinian flag, and the Ironfront; reading:
“Viva Viva Palestina”
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free!”
“Zionism = genocide”
“Israel killed 17 children last week MIA➡️PSE”
Spotted over i75 in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, when European Zionist conquistadors, aided by British and U.S. armed forces, raped and pillaged the multi-ethnic/religious republic of Palestine.
Palestine’s fight is our fight; Israel is but a puppet state of the American Empire! They care not for Jewish people, for they raped and pillaged Arab Jews in 1948 just the same as Arab Muslims. As always, this is a question of power and greed.
Fascism here in the US — ever more powerful law enforcement, politicians banning our existence, street violence by bigoted terrorists — parallels the colonization of Palestine by Israel with US support. Fascism is but imperialism come home.
Free free Palestine!

The USA once again promotes genocide; this time taking active part not only with funding and weaponry, but by not stopping the slaughter when given the opportunity.
This is more than looking away, this is more than complicity. This is actively taking part in the displacement and slaughter of men, women, and children. Including babies.
A person driving a truck with right-wing stickers pulled a "splatter ball gun" on pro-Palestine protesters at a rally. Several armed rally goers pulled their own weapons, and forced the person to drop their weapon and also remove their mask.
"Two individuals within the march rushed to the front, drew their own handguns, and ordered the man to immediately drop his weapon and take off his mask to which he complied. After doing so, he took his mask off. As the two individuals kicked the now-unmasked man’s weapon away,"
The "4 more years" chant of the crowd in response to the #CeasefireNow protestors is absolutely disgusting. Either they support the #genocide or they're too dumb to even listen to or understand what the protestors are protesting.
Then the lying with a straight face of #GenocideJoe about doing everything he could to restrain #Israel all while bypassing the congress to send munitions and weapons to Israel.
"The Green Party is becoming a dustbin, a repository not only for climate activists but for disgruntled hard leftists leaving the Labour Party, and some fairly unpleasant Free Palestine activists as well."
