[Image descriptions in order: a twitter thread by @/dywwrites "dorian is nano prepping" which says "As someone who has firsthand witnessed the way zionist indoctrination is used to radicalize Jews against Palestine, I wanted to make a 🧵 of things that helped me unlearn what I had been taught to hopefully help people deprogram themselves or their loved ones

"First: a lot of people right now are having their personal grief weaponized against Palestine and they are being manipulated in a state of vulnerability. Jewish grief and rage are real right now, and the goal isn't to dismiss it, it is to rightly aim it at Israel.]

["Quote "The majority of people in Palestine elected Hamas when they ran on an anti-Jewish platform!" Unquote.

-The election was in 2006, and 53% of Palestinians are under 18. The median age is under 20. Most Palestinians were not alive or eligible to vote for that election

-Hamas did not win the majority vote. They received 44.5% of the popular vote.

-They did not run on a "kill all Jews" platform. They won because of their anti-corruption/ law and order platform against the fragmentation + corruption of their opponents

["Quote, "But their charter says they want to kill all Jews!" Unquote.

-Their 1988 charter does. Since Hamas was the only group making any changes, secularists joined and reformed a lot of the literature. They have a new charter as of 2017, and here's an excerpt:

{From OP's alt text: 16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

17. Hamas rejects the persecution of any human being or the undermining of his or her rights on nationalist, religious or sectarian grounds. Hamas is of the view that the Jewish problem, anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews are phenomena fundamentally linked to European history and not to the history of the Arabs and the Muslims or to their heritage. The Zionist movement, which was able with the help of Western powers to occupy Palestine, is the most dangerous form of settlement occupation which has already disappeared from much of the world and must disappear from Palestine. /End}

[A tweet by @_Zach.... "Zachary Foster" Which says "Israel's awkward relationship w/ Hamas. A short 🧵".

Dorian, the OP, replies "quote, "An antisemetic religious group should have never been in power in the first place!" Unquote.

-Israel itself supported and funded Hamas in order to divide the Palestinian people and undermine secular groups like the PLO and justify genocide

"Quote, "Jews are indigenous to Israel! It's important to Jewish religion! Israel supports indigenous rights!" Unquote.

-As a Jewish person, I identify deeply with the land and region. My GEOGRAPHIC connection to the region is ancient and has nothing to do with the modern state.]

["-Israel does not support global indigenous populations. For example, they were directly involved with the genocide of the Maya population in Guatemala.

https://merip.org/1986/05/israel-and-guatemala/

{From OP's alt text: In Guatemala, the fundamental strategy of the military has been to "pacify" the countryside. Between 1954 and 1984, this has meant the murder of more than 100,000 civilians [11]; attempted destruction of the traditional Indian society and culture; and Indian resettlement in "model villages," which include agricultural cooperatives. The objective is total control of the civilian population, without altering the oligarchic patterns of land ownership ... "Many of our technicians are Israeli-trained," Wohlers declared. "The model of the kibbutz and the moshav is planted firmly in their minds. And personally I think it would be fascinating to turn our highlands into that kind of system."}

{Israeli involvement in Guatemala's agricultural counterinsurgency program began in 1977 ... They sought technical, military and agricultural settlement advice, arms and joint investment schemes. Immediately after their visit, Israeli advisers arrived in Guatemala to plan “civic action” programs in the tense Ixcan area in El Quiche, heartland of the revolutionary movement and scene of relentless military repression. /End}

"-Israel also has a long history of genocide and violence in Latin America, specifically involvement in the drug war and genocide of indigenous populations."

[A tweet by @_Maria_Hoss... Which says "Here is proof that Zionism was and always will be a colonizing enterprise. The founders of Zionism themselves admitted so in their letters and books.

(Original tweet link: twitter.com/not_ghuf/statu...)

{From OP's alt text: Against a white background: Herzl approached Britain because, he said, it was "the first to recognize the need for colonial expansion." According to him, "the idea of Zionism, which is a colonial idea, should be easily and quickly understood in England." In 1902, Herzl approached Cecil Rhodes, who had recently colonized the territory of the Shona people as Rhodesia. "You are being invited to help make history," he said in a letter to Rhodes. "It doesn't involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews. How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial."}

{Against a black background: "It is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting an Arab country with a Jewish majority. My readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries. I suggest they consider all the precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the native population. There is no such precedent (...) This is equally true of the Arabs. They feel at least the same instinctive, jealous love of Palestine as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico, and the Sioux for their rolling prairies (...) Every native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonized. That is what the Arabs of Palestine are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as..."}

{continuation of the previous photo's alt-text: "...there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of Palestine into the Land of Israel."

-[12] The Iron Wall, Vladimir Jabotinsky}

{"The iron law of every colonizing movement, a law which knows of no exceptions, a law which existed in all times and under all circumstances. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempts to destroy or prevent colonization, colonization is impossible, not "difficult", not "dangerous", but IMPOSSIBLE! Zionism is a colonizing adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force."

-[13] The Iron Law, Vladimir Jabotinsky. /End}

Dorian replies to this tweet in their thread, saying "-Foundational zionist texts call themselves colonists and Palestinians "natives." It was never meant to be a movement returning the land to an indigenous population.]

["Quote, "Jews deserve to have a self-governing state!" Unquote.

-That's not what Israel is. Modern Israel is a glorified Western military base. (Note all of the zionist propaganda lauding Israel as "protecting western values" and "the only democracy in the Middle East)

"-Whatever your beliefs are on a theoretical Jewish state, Israel is not the end-all-be-all of that idea. Think about Israel, not a hypothetical. Look at who your allies are on either side. Pay attention to the demographics supporting Israel vs. Palestine. Who do you trust?]

-Palestinians have a legal right to resist according to the Geneva Conventions. Meanwhile, Israel has committed numerous war crimes and disbanded their military courts.

"-People are dying. I know people who have. But violence is a natural consequence of continued oppression. Think of slave revolts and indigenous uprisings. We memorialize those despite their violence because every death is the fault of the oppressor.]

["Quote, "So many Jewish people are dying and people are supporting it! This is just like the Holocaust!" Unquote.

-Again, violence is a tragedy and a result in a fault of society. But when violence comes from an oppressed group, the fault in society is oppression.

"-This is a very hard pill for a lot of people to swallow, but Jews do not have a monopoly on suffering. Jews are not inherently more moral than any other group. Jews are not right by default. We can be wrong. We can be evil. We can cause bad things to happen in the world.

"Quote, "But [insert deflection here]!" Unquote.

-No. These are truths. Back up, look around, and confront them. None of this should be happening in the first place, and the blame for that falls entirely on Israel and its supporters."
