-> reposting this since my previous one was flagged

notice I have not called for violence. I'm merely asserting that israel is running an apratheid state and committing human rights violations. I have provided links to back up my assertions.

evil prevails when good men do nothing and I'll burn my karma to make sure people know whats going on.

^^^^^^^^^^^ > I too disagree with the current West Bank settlement policies, but I suspect that your calling Jews COLONIZERS is not based on this issue. they took land that didn't belong to them by gunpoint and forced the locals to relocate. Thats Is TEXTBOOK colonization. Its bad enough that it happened in teh past. the fact that they are CONTINUING to do it in the west bank just cements my opinion about that.

> I suspect that you believe that Jews colonized British Mandate Palestine in 19th and 20th century culminating with the creation of the state of Israel

yes becuse nothing is more important the opions of 19tha nd 20th century white populated countries when it comes to the affairs of people in their coloies

> I also suspect that you believe that the state of Israel doesn’t have the right to exist and need to cease its existance

I used to believe in a 2 state solution. maybe it could still work. but after seeing what zionists have been doing to palestinians for the last 50 years (and esspecially the last 3 months) I think its best if all the european jews in israel went back to their respective countries. more of us out here are feeling that way after seeing just how straight up EVIL the IDF is.

can you explain to me why the IDF doesn't enforce teh UN rules equally and keep settlers out of the west bank whihch the UN rules belongs to Palestinians?

can you expalin why children as young as 10 years old are held in military prisons and military courts with no accesss to due process and sentanced to as much as a decade for throwing a rock?

can you explain why Israelis are filing in wells with concrete?

can you explain why why the IDF needed to execute women and children sheltering from the seige in a school? they were shot close to point blank range

I suspect that you are strongly biased. but the zionist arguemnt falls apart pretty quickly by anyone actually doing any reserach with an unbiasted view.

it really falls down to "god promised it to us" "british people promised it to us" "it was ours 3000 years ago"

NONE of thses arguments would be valid for ANY other people. so why are zionists so special in this regard? what makes you so special that you can commit HEINOUS human rights violations on MY TAX dollars?

Again, I used to be supportive of a 2 stage solution but after these last two months, yes, I'm strongly on the side of the palestinians at thsi point. for the same rason I would have sided with jews during the holocaust and black africans during teh apartheid.

to put it susccinctly

I'd rather be a black man in america than a uighur in china but Id rather be a uighur in china than a palestinian in gaza.

you wanna show that israel is a beacon of democracy in the middle east? how about demonstrating first that its not an authoritarian ethnostate with good PR.

a good start would be NOT jailing israeli citizens for speaking out against the genocide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5SMzQzdnZw&ab_channel=Democ...)

This post is barely coherent with a wall of YouTube links pointing to videos across multiple subjects including the settlement policies(which I don’t agree with), claims of poor treatment by released Palestinian prisoners who were in prison for amongst other things stabbing random Jews, as well as other subjects that are all over the place.

Let’s try to have a discussion while focusing on one subject at a time.

One subject that stands out is you calling Jews colonizers.

It’s indisputable that the Jewish history in the area of modern day Israel goes back thousands of years.

These areas were in fact colonized by Romans, then Ottomans, then by the British. Many Jews were expelled during these colonizations.

The act of migration of Jews back to what is present day Israel in 1948 was NOT colonization but a return of indigenous people to their homeland.

Words have meanings. Colonization means something. Jews return to Israel was not it. Apartheid means something. Israeli Arabs enjoy the same rights as non-Arab Israelis, they serve in the government, Supreme Court and even the IDF if they choose to. Israel is not an apartheid state because it does not segregate its citizens by race/ethnicity.

> yes becuse nothing is more important the opions of 19tha nd 20th century white populated countries when it comes to the affairs of people in their coloies

In spite of sounding fairly racist, you are historically correct - opinions of white populated countries - Britain and France - as well as the League of Nations - were in fact important because in 1920s they helped sketch the borders of future Arab nation-states we such as Kingdom of Jordan, Syria, Iraq, etc and ultimately led to emergence of Arab nationalism that shaped these Middle East countries.

If you invalidate UN partition of British Mandate Palestine by saying “oh British people promised to us”, then you will have to invalidate most of Arab Nation states in the Arabian Peninsula. You also invalidate the sovereignty of both India and Pakistan.

> I think it’s best if all the european jews in israel went back to their respective countries.

What about the Mizrahi Israelis of middle eastern & North African origin? They constitute close to 70% of Israeli Jews.

What about non-Mizrahi Jews who were born in Israel and who have no cultural or ethnic connections to European countries you speak of.

What do you propose be done to them.

> This post is barely coherent with a wall of YouTube links pointing to videos across multiple subjects

whats barely coherent about this? Ive provided context as well as links to reputable sources (journalists on the ground documenting whats goig on) backing them up yet you casually dismiss them like I'm posting videos to flat earther vids. its doesn't take much for an unbiased observer to realize that what zionists are doing is not right. Please examine your own biases and at least watch them.

>The act of migration of Jews back to what is present day Israel in 1948 was NOT colonization but a return of indigenous people to their homeland.

and what of the people living there? was it really necessary to force them to relocate "trail of tears" style? we are taught in history books that it wa sa tradjedy on native american peoples. how is this any different?

>These areas were in fact colonized by Romans, then Ottomans, then by the British. Many Jews were expelled during these colonizations.

and they are welcome back there if their intention is to peacefully coexist. the issue is that there is an occupation. the rights of the palestinians are suppressed in order to maintain a far right ethnostate.

> Israeli Arabs enjoy the same rights as non-Arab Israelis,

and palestinians in the west bank are subject to something very akin to apartheid. Please tell me why it was necessary to have hundres of children as young as 10 years old doing prison time in israeli miliary courts? how does that not immediately light up a red flag in the back of your mind that something isn't right?

> If you invalidate UN partition of British Mandate Palestine by saying “oh British people promised to us”, then you will have to invalidate most of Arab Nation states in the Arabian Peninsula. You also invalidate the sovereignty of both India and Pakistan.

india and pakistan agreed to that rift. the division between muslims and hindus was largely manufactured by the british as part of their means of keeping colonies under their control. I have plenty of criticisms about modhi and his far right hindu nationalist mindset bit thats goign off topic.

> What about the Mizrahi Israelis of middle eastern & North African origin? They constitute close to 70% of Israeli Jews.

Im not opposed to european jews living in the region. I'm opposed to the occupation and subjugation of the palestinian people. let them return to live in israel and grant ALL of them citizenship and right to due process that is afforded to israeli citizens. make the israeli government a place where both paletinians AND israelis can pursue justice and you might find peace is within reach.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. they are perfectly fine killing civilians to achieve their goal. if we establish that the willingness to harm civilians in pursuit of miltary advantage is the mark of a terrorist, please tell me how the IDF is any different here? I've already sent you several youtube links from journalistic sources highlighting the human rights atrocities of the IDF as well as the human rights violations of israeli settlers in the west bank against palestinians. most recent of which being a mass killing in a school involving literal children. People turn to terrorism when there are no avenues to justice.

This is exactly what netinyahu wants. force palestinians to need hamas so that he can use (fear of ) hamas to perpeuate his far right regime. peace could be achieved fairly easily if it was an option the far right of israel wanted. but that would mean accepting paletsinans with open arms and making them first class citizens alongside jews in israel. But that gets in the way of his aspirations for an ethnostate.

You deserve a flag for this behaviour alone.

there's definitely a subgroup of people on here trying actively to suppress discussion of a US taxfund payer subsidized genocide going on right now. if me bringing that to light bothers you, well, I'm not sorry.
