Settlers had a pogrom against Palestinians last night, in the town of Huwara in Nablus.

"Dozens of Israeli settlers rampaged violently for hours in the West Bank town of Huwara on Sunday evening, setting fire to Palestinian homes and cars, hours after two Israeli brothers were shot dead in a terror attack there.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said one man was shot dead by Israeli fire during the riots in the town of Za’tara, south of Huwara and close to the settlement of Kfar Tapuah. The Palestinian Red Crescent medical service said two other people were shot and wounded, a third person was stabbed and a fourth was beaten with an iron bar. Some 95 others were being treated for tear gas inhalation." -- TOI

Sorry if this is awkward but cold you elaborate on what you mean by your "morally indistinguishably from a fascist" post?

sure. the police (especially in the USA, but this is true across the capitalist world) are white supremacist death squads with a long, long history of showing up and killing whoever they see when you call them, including but not limited to: innocent bystanders, people having mental health episodes they were called to 'check on', and the very people who call them. people have been killed over noise complaints.

if you call the police on someone, there is an extremely non-neglible chance that you are going to get that person killed. even if you don't, you could destroy their life by forcing them into the carceral system. i try not to deploy 'fascist' comparisons too much--i think the term's overuse dilutes it, and it's a particularly annoying habit of marxist-leninists as a whole that i prefer to avoid--but if you call the death squads to someone's door and you think 'well, they broke the law, anything that happens from now isn't my fault', you are indistinguishable from the law-abiding german citizens who informed for the gestapo.

oh and as for this anon: i would fucking deal with it you whiny piece of shit. i cannot imagine the level of banal moral rot it would take to call the fucking cops on someone for anything less than actively trying to kill you, and all this 'uhhhgh but what if you had no choice :(' stuff is genuinely wretched. i would Fucking Cope because i dont think that the penalty for annoying me should be death.

I have a hard time talking about American law enforcement, because I have ptsd (like a therapist told me this and everything) from my own experiences with cops and because it's so balls quaking insane.

Like, a cop in the United States can pull you over for any reason. Which is a nice way of saying no reason, because literally anything can be used after the fact as justification. A cop can say its cuz you looked at him, or didnt look at him, or it looked like you were holding something, or looked like you were driving too perfectly for it to be natural. It's insane.

There are apparently no circumstances where a cop can't just kill you. The line the courts have applied is "reasonably believed" you were a threat, but that's such a nebulous nothing limit that people get shot for reaching for their license, having their phone in their hand, you're running away with no weapon, not being able to follow conflicting commands, like anything. And cops are almost never charged, because every court is going to believe he could "reasonably believe" he was threatened. Fuck, if you give me enough time, I can make any situation seem juuuuust plausibly threatening enough to pass that bar. It's insane.

A cop can just rob you. Like tell you to give him your wallet, take all the cash out, and just walk away with it. Exactly like you would imagine getting robbed in an alley would go, except no one can help. And he doesn't even have to hide it, he just drops it in a box at the station and they put it in their bank account. It's legal. You can't prove it wasn't drug money. I can't prove any money wasn't at some point drug money. It's insane.

If a cop just walks in your front door and says "I'm here to kill you and your entire family" YOU ARE GOING TO PRISON IF YOU STOP HIM. There is no positive defense for assaulting a police officer in the United States, and doubly so if you kill him. You have effectively no defense against a homicidal cop, which happens same as any other job. Unless for some reason you have cameras all thru your house and clearly caught the audio of him saying that he's there just to kill you, you have zero chance of not going to prison, probably for life. And that's assuming you aren't killed "resisting arrest" while being taken into custody. It is a crime, in this country, for you to defend yourself under any circumstances if the person you're defending yourself from is a cop. That's insane.

You don't have civil rights if a cop says so. You have the right to have a gun, right? A lot of states have open carry. A cop can shoot you if he sees you have a gun. Doesn't matter if you have a license and everything. So you effectively don't have the right to bear arms if a cop can shoot you for exercising it. You have the right to protest. Unless a cop tells you to stop. He doesn't need a real reason to tell you to stop. And if you don't stop, you can be arrested or shot. So you don't really have the right to protest, do you? A cop cant just search your car or house, right? Unless he claims he heard something, or smelled something, neither of which can be proven. So a cop can search whatever he wants, as long as he pretends there was a "reason". So you dont have protection from unreasonable search and seizure, do you? These are no longer rights- they're things the cops allow.. for now. But legally, those rights have already been found to not actually be rights, because any random cop can decide to take that right from you, for any reason. It's insane.

These aren't like crazy things that I'm just making up, these aren't some weird twisted way I'm looking at something, these are all very real things that we all just.. ignore? Police abolitionists and the media bring these things up all the time, and the overwhelming response to it is: so what? Don't break the law and it won't matter. Blue lives matter. More police funding. Cops should have tanks. It's insane. And I always feel like im just rambling and sound insane when I say this kind of stuff because if you wrote a book and had the dystopian government doing the stuff that the police in this country do every single day, those same people who "back the blue" would line up to say stuff like "*Books government* wouldnt have a chance before us real americans stopped them" on twitter and not even get a hint of the irony.

“Of course, it’s easy to trust God when the bush is burning, the waters are parting, and the mountains are shaking— it’s those silent years that are discouraging. But blessed is the person who does not interpret the silence of God as the indifference of God!”

[“The children rode trains to farm towns as near as New Jersey and as far as the frontier territories of the Great Plains and, later, the West Coast. As they arrived at each destination they were displayed at church meetinghouses, where families looking variously for a new son or daughter or a cheap source of labor for the emerging agricultural industry looked them over and made their pick. “The main goal of the Emigration Plan was to remove children from slums, where opportunities were scant and ‘immoral influences’ plentiful, and to place them in ‘good Christian homes,’” wrote Stephen O’Connor in the seminal history of the movement, Orphan Trains: The Story of Charles Loring Brace and the Children He Saved and Failed.

As many as 25 percent of the “orphans” had two living parents, and fewer than half were orphans with two dead parents. But this wasn’t an accident. Among the immoral influences that CAS founder Charles Loring Brace saw waiting for children in New York City were the children’s parents themselves. Brace, an abolitionist and a nineteenth-century progressive, also authored a book called The Dangerous Classes of New York and Twenty Years’ Work Among Them, which described Brace’s appraisal of his era’s urban poor. His orphan train efforts were driven in part by a fear that the children of the poor were “growing up almost sure to be prostitutes and rogues!” as he wrote his sister in one letter. His orphan trains were sometimes filled after CAS representatives went into New York’s tenement neighborhoods to recruit “orphans” from immigrant families. As for those families, O’Connor wrote that Brace “dismissed contemptuously those parents who stood in the way of what he thought were a child’s best interests, including the removal of the child to a ‘better’ home.”

This in itself was not without precedent. In the 1830s to 1850s devout Congregationalist missionaries from abolitionist churches in the Northeast—the same background Brace hailed from—began adopting children from the mission field in Jamaica, where slavery became illegal in 1838, said Gale Kenny, a religion scholar at Barnard College. Frustrated with the persistent influence of Baptist practices among the Jamaican adults they were evangelizing, the missionaries decided that “the only way they can have a real impact is if they focus on converting children, separating them from their parents and their culture to bring them up in their own homes,” explains Kenny. The movement treated adoption as a civilizing project, assimilating Jamaican children who were born of freed slaves who had labored on sugar estates, into white, Christian culture. In one instance children were separated from their families to be raised at a missionary school built on a converted sugar plantation, where they farmed sugar cane in exchange for their tuition—perhaps a dubious improvement over the past.”]
