Nobody understands my resentment and borderline hatred of west germans who know nothing of east germany, who cannot conceptualize anything different from their propaganda. I can't imagine what it is like for my grandparents to watch entire former industrial cities becoming ghost towns through austerity measures, neoliberalism, obscurity and mass emigration of children and women. Like even in my little town there used to be industry, till west germany ruined everything. My heart breaks everytime, I could cry. When I become socialist dictator, I will ban west germans to speak about elections or east german(s)y as a whole

Daily videogame trivia!

In Deus Ex (2000), your UNATCO co-worker Anna Navarre is, throughout the game, insistent on protagonist JC Denton using lethal force - even on non-combatants who have willingly surrendered. This is become she is Israeli.

You don't have to like the government of Iran, and you don't have to agree with the government of Iran, all you have to do is stand on the right side of history. Remember, Benjamin Netanyahu said out of his own mouth in front of television cameras, "After we're done with GAZA, we'll go to Africa to "liberate" them to", that was thinly veiled code speech for "Invasion" of African nations.

Keep your eyes and ears open at all times, because so much is happening all at once nowadays that it's easy for something to pass us by, so, we need to stay vigil and engaged.

Stay WOKE, Family ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

— From “Interview with Female [Donetsk People’s] Militia Member in Ukraine”

[enigma1235]

There is this rethotical slight of hand that westerners both progressive and otherwise love to do where they will say believe witnesses abd victims but then never believe victims or witnesses that make claims contrary to their held belief that country they dont like is evil abd bad. They will believe falong gong who claim the prc is oppressing them and harvesting their organs but not believe a victim of the falong gong saying they use child labour for shen yu.

They will believe Ukrainian claims of russian warcrimes but then call RT propaganda despite RT interviewing survivors from donbass.

They don't say this out loud but the implications are clear. Some victims are more believable than others. More trustworthy than others. Some victims should be believed and others should be disregarded.

And i dont know about you but i find that very fucked up.

"america’s biggest export historically is not democracy, but art made by black people." no, it's imperialism, actually.

Ten days old tweet but I think about it often

it really hurts white people to be told that some ethnic groups were better off before their interference, doesn’t it? like they can never accept that they made things worse for the people they brutalized. like the camps, enslavement, pandemics and genocides were just the price we had to pay for indoor plumbing and denim 🤷🏾‍♀️ it’s a perfectly fair trade. and it’s funny as hell.

There is no leftist Zionism, like there is no leftist Nazism. No fascist ideology can be leftists. Liberal Zionism is nothing more than a reaction to Israels and Zionism's material circumstances. Israel is weak; It relies on the aid and support of the U.S. and the UN. In their attempt to cater to their backers they take on the front of liberal Zionism. The only reason Nazism didn't have a branch of "liberal" Nazism is because they didn't need to cater for aid, Germany was already an imperial and colonial power in the world.

The name Palestine, or it’s possible predecessors, have been found in five inscriptions across countries in the Levant and North Africa, all naming it Peleset or Purusati, inscribed in hieroglyphics as P-r-s-t

Their first mention is at the temple of Ramesses, 1150 BC, where Ramesses is mentioned to have fought off the Pelesets, the last known being 300 years later on Padiiset’s Statue, reading “Ka of Osiris: Pa-di-iset, the justified, son of Apy. The only renowned one, the impartial envoy of Philistine Canaan, Pa-di-iset, son of Apy.”

“Philistine” and “Canaan” both refer to the land of Palestine. The Assyrians have called it Palashtu since 800 BC, through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later

The term Palestine actually comes from the writings of Greek author Herodotus in the 5th century BC, where he calls the land “Palaistine”, which is where the Arabic term “Filastin” comes from

Now, it should be noted that there is a bit of nuance in what I am about to say next - the Iron Age Kingdom of Judah did exist, and was an Israelite kingdom - this was around 960 BC to 560 BC

However, this by no means implies that Palestine is not Palestinian land - the kingdom of Judah famously fell, after all, and Israel the state was only established after political Zionism in Britain, spurred on by catastrophes like the Holocaust and pogroms, promoted the idea of a Jewish “reclaiming” of Palestine

In 1918, the Jewish Legion helped the British conquer Palestine to create the Mandatory Palestine. This caused obvious revolts, as most acts of colonialism tend to do

Over the next few decades, things went as you might know - the Holocaust meant a massive surge in Jewish refugees, most of whom were turned away by their neighbours because, well, millions of new citizens were hard to feed, and all of whom decided that Palestine was where they would go

Of course, none of this took into consideration the fact that native Palestinians would have to be displaced from their homes and livelihoods to do it, often with violence

The Holocaust was a horrible thing, obviously - but attempting to colonise a new state out of a pre-existing one, displacing and killing thousands of native Arabs, in response was hardly a good thing, either

On 22 July 1941, the Jewish militia Irgun bombed the British headquarters in Palestine, killing 91 people. This was in response to a series of raids conducted by the British ,including one on the Jewish Agency

All mediation attempts conducted over the next few years failed, as the Jewish diaspora - and more importantly, the Zionists amongst them - were unwilling to accept a solution that did not produce for them a whole new all-Jewish state in Palestine, while the native Arabs were somewhat pissed at the idea of having to leave the land of their birth due to colonialism

And it was colonialism - Zionist colonialism is still colonialism

Finally, the matter was brought before the UN, who decided to go with the Zionist idea of a separate Jewish and Arab state, with Jerusalem as an international city between them

The Irgun and other Revisionary Zionist groups rejected the idea, seeing it as an act of ceding native Jewish land. The leader of the Irgun at the time, Menachem Begin, openly stated that “the bisection of our homeland is illegal. It will never be recognized” and that the Zionists fully intended on expanding beyond their UN-set boundaries “after the shedding of much blood.”

Simha Flapan, the Israeli scholar, states that it is a myth that any Zionist groups at all accepted the partition, as most of them simply wanted to undermine the creation of an Arab state, fully intending on expanding into them later

Baruch Kimmerling, a professor at the University of Jerusalem, has stated that Zionists “officially accepted the partition plan, but invested all their efforts towards improving its terms and maximally expanding their boundaries while reducing the number of Arabs in them”

So, yes, the Zionist myth of a peaceful, unambitious Israel is exactly that - a myth

The Arabs had a much more open reaction, rejecting the plan outright. Zionists will tell you this is because they hated Jews. It’s not. Their principle argument was that it was against the principles of national self-determination set out in the UN charter, granting them the right to decide their own destiny

In any case, over on the Zionist side of things, Jewish insurgency peaked until Irgun took two British sergeants hostage as attempted leverage against the planned execution of three Irgun officers. The officers were executed as planned, and the sergeants were murdered and hung from trees. Spurred by this, the British called for an evacuation of the Mandatory Palestine

On 26 November 1947, the UN General Assembly presented another plan for the partition of Palestine, evidently fully ignoring what the actual Palestinians had to say. In this, they assigned 56% of Palestine (notably, Arab land that already had Arab landowners) to the Jewish diaspora, who had so far owned 6-7% of the land

Arabs, the majority, held 20% of the land, and the remaining 23-24% was granted to Mandate authorities and foreign entities

Once again, the native Arabs rejected this. Not because they wanted to kill Jews. But because it clearly benefitted European interests over Palestinian ones, and was thus unacceptable

Afterwards, Israel had its way and declared independence once Mandatory Palestine was dissolved. The neighbouring Arab states, formed the Arab League, and invaded, with the goal of ensuring the prevention of the Partition

To make a long story short, they failed, and Israel annexed massive parts of Palestine in the process. The native Palestinians were then expelled from the homelands by the Zionist militias in a bloody and brutal process that would come to be known as Al-Nakba

In addition, this led to the destruction of Palestinian culture, identity, and national aspirations. They were no longer “Palestinians” - they were the expelled and discarded. Their settlements were either destroyed or given new Hebrew names

In the process the Israelis would also start their genocide against the Palestinians with a bang - the poisoning of village wells and other acts of biological warfare.

750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their ancestral homes and towns - 80% of the population living in what would become Israel. Eleven Arab towns and cities, along with over 500 villages

It’s believed that around 70 massacres occurred during the Nakba, with the Yishuv killing over 800 -Arab civilians over the course of 24 of them. Other sources state that there were 10 major massacres with over 50 casualties each

The Saliha Massacre ended with 70 dead, the Deir Yassin with 112, the Lydda with 250, the Tantira with 200+ and the Abu Shusha massacre with 70 dead

And those are just the major massacres, as recognised by the Israeli historian Benny Morris. There are plenty more. Each death a living, breathing, person, whose life and death are being erased by the acts of the government of Netanyahu

The nakba, which began on 15 May, 1948, is considered to be still ongoing today, with new deaths and massacres occurring everyday. The US support Israel has enjoyed, along with their own technological breakthroughs, has only made it more effective at destruction

All to make room for a state that, I will remind you, does not have any right to exist in Palestine. It is true that there was a Jewish kingdom in Palestine once upon a time. But there was a Muslim kingdom in Spain once, too, and no one’s arguing for Arabians to go colonise Spain

The Palestinians have existed in Palestine since at least the Bronze Age, being the descendants of the Ancient Levantines extending back to the inhabitants of the Levant at the time

According to the Palestine historian Nazmi Al-Ju'beh, like in other Arab nations, the Arab identity of Palestinians, largely based on linguistic and cultural affiliation, is independent of the existence of any actual Arabian origins

The Palestinians are the indigenous population of the land of Palestine. To displace and genocide them to make room for your own colony is not unlike what China is doing in East Turkestan or what America did to the Native Americans

All that to say - the Zionists did in Palestines what every racist and Islamophobe seems to think Muslims are trying to do in Britain

Total offense but many people dont respect October 7th as the true militant uprising it is and refuse to learn from it. Palestinians brought a military and technological superpower that is backed by the US imperial government to heel with a lot less manpower. It was obvious that it took years to plan. I blame this all on the humanitarian lens in which people have been looking through at Gaza. Direct action is one thing but militant action is another
