Wow it was so nicies of European Jews to get nearly their entire population and culture wiped out so that non Jews could have something punchy to compare Trump to 💙💙💙💙💙

The thing I don't really understand is, if so many non-native Americans and Canadians and Australians (etc) are so vehemently anti-colonial and want so badly to "decolonize" the world, why do none of them go back to where their ancestors (the colonizers) came from and give whatever land they own (and any wealth they have accumulated) to the native peoples?

Why don't any white "anti-colonial" American/Canadian/Australian/New Zealander/South African activists actually walk the walk and go back to Europe?

Just give the land back. Actually decolonize. Do it.

Why are no Americans/Canadians/Australians calling for their own countries to be wiped off the map? Why just Israel?

Why not also Italy and Greece? It is generally accepted that the Greco-Roman empires were the origins of Western thought and expansionism/colonialism. The OG Western Empires. Should THEY not pay the price for originating Western/European colonialism? Or, skipping forward a millennia or so, how about Spain? The Catholic country who paid that horrible man from Genoa to go "discover" the Americas? Spain who conquered and owned (and named) most of the Americas, should THEY not be wiped off the map for their colonial sins? Or perhaps Britain and France and Belgium?

Nobody is calling it the Hallucinated States of America. Nobody calls it Cantada. Or South NOT Africa(n). Denying their existence and/or right to exist. That treatment is reserved just for Israel. Why?

ScapeGOATs

Regardless of what they say, the modern Western "anti-colonialism" activist isn't trying to undo colonialism.

They're trying to feel better about it.

Instead of confronting or giving up the colonial empire they inherited, they outsource the guilt they feel about it. They make Israel their moral scapegoat.

The scapegoat is a symbol, a Jungian archetype which is fundamentally installed in the Western mind, though many don't know its origins or history.

In the biblical scapegoat ritual (Leviticus 16), the High Priest would symbolically place the sins of the people onto a goat and send it into the wilderness to die. The people's guilt was taken from them, dumped into a sacrificial animal...and pushed out of sight. The people were freed of their sins...and all it cost them was the sacrifice of a goat.

(Jesus, in Christian theology, is often described as the ultimate scapegoat. A sinless figure onto whom the sins of humanity were placed...so others could be redeemed. Like the goat in Leviticus sent into the wilderness, Jesus is cast out, humiliated, and sacrificed to cleanse others of guilt. I'd argue this is deeply embedded in Western culture, which has been primed to believe that salvation comes from sacrifice...so long as someone else pays the price.)

Throughout history, Jews have been convenient scapegoats for relieving others of their own unpleasant feelings.

In medieval Europe, Christian debtors blamed Jewish moneylenders for their financial ruin, forgetting it was Church law that barred Christians from lending money with interest in the first place.

During the Spanish Inquisition, newly unified Christian Spain projected its anxieties about impure faith and fractured Spanish identity onto Jews and conversos, purging them to cleanse the soul of the state.

In the 19th century, Eastern European peasants, angry at feudal oppression but too afraid to blame the aristocracy, attacked Jewish communities instead and used pogroms as emotional release valves.

In Nazi Germany, the shame of losing World War I and the collapse of national pride were offloaded onto Jews, who were cast as traitors and parasites undermining the Volk.

Each time, they cast their sins, conscience, or guilt onto the Jews and had the Jews pay the price for them.

Today, many Western activists project the guilt of their colonial realities onto Israel, demanding Jews pay the moral bill for sins committed by European empires.

They live on stolen land, inside settler colonial societies built by genocide and maintained by power.

But reckoning with that would be hard...so instead they find a goat.

They heap the weight of the guilt they feel for Western sins onto Israel.

In doing so, they can imagine themselves as cleansed of their western, colonial guilt. Even better, they get to feel righteous.

It doesn't matter that Jews are indigenous to Israel. It doesn't matter that the Jews were colonized by Rome, exiled, massacred by Christian and Muslim empires, and clawed their way back to sovereignty in a small portion of their indigenous homeland. It doesn't matter that Israel doesn't meet the definition of settler-colonialism, that an indigenous people cannot colonize their own land, and that Israel is the most successful decolonizing project in history.

Jews are close enough to white, successful enough to resent, and far away enough to be disposable.

Nobody is demanding that people of Spanish descent pack up from Latin America and "go back to Spain."

There are no international calls for settler Australians to return their homes to Aboriginal nations and return to England, or for Canadians to give their land back to First Nations and evacuate to Europe.

Instead, they want the Jews to again be their goat, wandering in the wilderness, carrying sins which were never theirs to begin with.

It's the same story, played out for a modern audience with better PR and worse intentions.

The "famine in Gaza" is one of the easiest to debunk myths circulating here, and literally all you have to do is look up restaurants in Gaza, find their insta pages, and have a look. Literally each and every one is still posting multiple times per day, showcasing an abundance of food. Sometimes you will find people in the comments going "wait, but I thought there was a genocide and a famine!" and the excuses are WILD. Take a look:

"there are limited resources due to the SEVERE siege and OccupationTM :(((" but not limited enough apparently to make fucking CREPES in the dozens lmao

"this was during the ceasefire, now there is NOTHING :((( uuuuh no wait actually I just stored enough raw materials to make DOZENS of fucking CAKES!!" wjkdsfhbjds I want to see ONE place on earth where people are supposedly STARVING but restaurants are still open and are using flour to make CAKES. Like thats so Marie Antoinette core of them

let them eat cake!!

literally from 2 days ago wdjfhwfedjkhb

showing reality is apparently "zio propaganda" asjdhfdjh each and every one of the ppl in the vid died for a sack of flour the very next day, naturally

So insensitive! I think the other guy might be on to something....

I know what to say! u got brainwashed by tiktok! embarrassing.

The genocide is genociding so hard that these dudes could afford to rebuild their restaurant and continue bsns as usual. damn its almost like....its almost like its just a regular fucking war.

I dont remember seeing diners and ice cream places, high end seafood restaurants, cafes and fucking cake shops in Auchwitz, where an actual genocide, with an actual famine, took place; or in Houthi-besieged Yemeni towns that are currently being starved to death, or in ANY of the conflict zones in Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia et al. The coping in the comments of these vids is so funny too "this was filmed before the genocide!!" meanwhile the bsns owners r like "we are open RIGHT NOW pls call this number to make reservations" aksjdfjhsdabf unbelievable. Is there a war? yes. Are people suffering? absolutely. Is this how a GENOCIDE and FAMINE look like? NO! stop being retarded and open ur eyes.

a little example of what happens when you look into who is writing articles about israel (and yes i have done this myself. you can do it too!):

btw this is what kareem acted like hamas was innocent of:

but yes, people with this level of bias should be WRITING ARTICLES FOR AP/CNN/BBC/REUTERS/ABC. hmm

It has been abundantly clear to me that the pro-Palestine movement's antisemitism, anti-Israelis-as-people sentiment, glorification of violence, and all the other components of the shit stew that I'm currently too angry to articulate, were going to lead to extreme violence, including against Jews in diaspora. I have been telling y'all for over a year and a half to collect your fucking people and you will not do it. I have been trying to educate gently and with nuance and provide a voice that is neither "there's no antisemitism in the movement" nor "antizionism is antisemitism." And yet somehow for either the message does not get through or frankly many of you just do not give a shit. Setting Jews in Colorado on fire will not free Palestine and frankly you are really stupid if you think it will, and also you and I are different because as a general principle I think setting people on fire is bad and you don't.

Anyway I could not be more fucking over it. Your movement is cooked as hell and is also not in any sense "leftist" or "radical." It's actually reactionary as fuck. At this point if you continue to refuse to speak up in your activist spaces and collect your people I will no longer be assuming you just need some gentle education, I will assume that it is intentional and you either agree with the bullshit or are prioritizing your personal social standing.

The degree to which American-centric goggles color everything is astonishingly irritating, but I guess it's not that surprising; for all that American Leftists like to claim they're against US Imperialism, they're really quite ready to impose their limited worldview on other people's geopolitics.

So.

Having finally hit my limit on this, a list of things I've personally witnessed American Leftists claim Israeli geopolitics are "like", presented as rebuttals.

No, Palestinians are not like Native Americans.

No, Palestinians are not like African-Americans.

No, Israelis are not like American Settlers.

No, Gaza and the West Bank are not like Native Reservations.

No, the situation in Israel is not like the Western Settlement.

No, Israeli aid to Gaza is not like smallpox blankets.

No, Zionism is not like Manifest Destiny.

No, there is no plan for "Greater Israel" like there was for "sea to shining sea".

No, there are no "Indian Schools" for Palestinians run by Israel.

No, the Nakba was not like the Trail of Tears.

No, the Gaza Border Fence is not like the Texas Border Fence.

No, Palestinians coming in to Israel to work is not like Latinos coming into America to work.

No, fearmongering about Latinos by Republicans is not like the well-substantiated fears about Hamas terrorists crossing the border.

No, the border checkpoints are not like ICE.

No, Palestinians do not, generally speaking, want to become Israelis.

No, Palestinians are not being "blocked from Israeli citizenship".

No, Palestinians are not being "prevented from voting in Israel", because they're not Israeli citizens.

No, the conflict with Iran is not like Trump threatening to invade Mexico to attack the Cartels.

No, the conflict with Iran is not like Bush invading Iraq to deal with nonexistent WMDs.

No, Israel's attack on Gaza is not like America's post-9/11 attack on Iraq.

No, Israel is not attacking either Gaza or Iran for oil.

No, the "states" in a "two-state solution" are not like American states.

No, the medical care Israel gives to Palestinians is not like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

No, Arab Israelis are not living under anything like Jim Crow.

No, the Israeli prime minister is not like the American President.

No, the Knesset is not like the US Congress--they have more than two parties, for starters.

No, "Al-Quds" is not like Mount Rushmore... at least, not in the way you think it is.

I'm done for the moment, but if anyone else has any to add to the list, feel free to toss them in.

"Diaspora Jews don't get to comment on Israeli politics"

-When Israel screws up (or Just Exists) Diaspora Jews have to answer for it, often violently

-The trauma of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seeps into Jewish communities worldwide. it shapes how Jews the world over are seen (see above)

Aurora continues to be more and more disappointing. She is constantly talking about "CEASEFIRE NOW!" and "Free Palestine" and fucking boycotting Starbucks, but I haven't seen her even once condemn Hamas, Jew hate, October 7th, or how Hamas treat their own people.

If she was truly such an advocate for humanity and peace, she would do much.

Chants for Death at Glastonbury

“The seriousness of what happened at Glastonbury cannot be overstated. I’m struggling to think of any other recent event in the UK where a mob has called for the death of human beings. Where a crowd has agitated with macabre elation for people to die”

Then vile imagery going around on twitter in celebration

mamdani: I’M GONNA RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH-

okay cool but bitch that isnt what a mayor does. THE COMPTROLLER is in charge of that and keeping the mayor in line.

council members are elected, so the mayor cant control that outside of putting them on committees.

mayors cant defund the cops eitherrrr without comptroller approval.

like LMFAO just say you’re running for a position and don’t know wtf that position is.

mayors can’t create city run grocery stores without further approval either. (they wont lower prices or improve anything either, but the point is the mayor is a paper pusher, not what mamdani thinks it is.)

he can help create budgets but that doesnt mean those budgets will get approved. (and he likely won’t even win lmao).

but seriously i am begging politicians AND VOTERS to read the constitution, the charter for their city, the powers of each position, etc. this is embarrassing.

Hidden Hindu Temple Of Afghanistan.

When they gaslight you that hinduphobia doesn’t exists but you know your entire religion and culture was wiped out from previously dharmik lands and how your people are being persecuted in these countries even today. Spread the awareness. Call out bigots that deny hinduphobia.

Afghanistan once used to be a stronghold of Hindu and Buddhist religion and culture, today that history has been erased and the people forced to convert, die or flee. This is what happened to Hindus in Kashmir and what is happening to Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh and small pockets of India where Hindus are in minority.
