Israel ignoring Egypt's warnings, Israel's chaotic "recovery" (a.k.a. their explicit non-recovery and bombing of hostages), and the IOF's chaotic engagement with Hamas fighters on Oct. 7th and 8th that caught hostages and civilians in crossfire should be proof enough that Israel cannot and will consistently fail to provide for the security and welfare of Jewish people. It should also be proof enough that Netanyahu's government doesn't give a shit about Israeli lives unless they can be weaponized to serve his political and regional goals.

The argument that the only way for Jewish people to have safety and comfort is through a Jewish ethnostate ignores how the violence necessary to establish an ethnostate breeds extremism and a cycle of violence. It ignores how Israel consistently fails to protect and provide for its citizens, how vulnerable the Israeli state would be without US support, and how politically and numerically insecure settler-colonial populations are without ethnic and genocidal violence to reproduce their position in the social hierarchy. This argument also allows countries in the Global North to wipe their hands of their own country's antisemitism. For them, Israel is the solution to their country's "Jewish Question."

Some of Zionism's basic assumptions about Jewish people and the need for a Jewish state come from antisemitic assumptions. Advocates for a Jewish state frequently invoke antisemitic stereotypes to make their case. Like... literal fucking fascists in the US support Zionism because they want to empty their country of Jewish people and then watch them die in Israel.

The largest group of Zionists in the US are Evangelical Christians. Not just in sheer numbers, but as a percentage of their population. And you know what they believe? They believe that all Jews need to return to the Holy Land to be massacred and raptured so Jesus can return. The majority of Zionists in the US are Zonists because they're antisemitic. Their antisemitism informs their support for Zionism, and their belief in Zionism informs their antisemitism.

It boggles me how the US government, literal fascists, and Evangelicals have so many of you legitimately believing that critiquing a man and a government that throws their lot in with Holocaust deniers is antisemitic.

There are experts out there who attest that Zionism encourages and spreads antisemitism around the globe and that it is a contributing factor to increases in antisemitism in the Global North. Some have gone so far as to say it is a literal threat to the well-being of Jews worldwide and a roadblock in the fight against antisemitism.

incredible how every time there's a "source" that's critical of US imperialism, it inevitably has to suck the dicks of every tyrannical regime on the other side of the fence.

It's frankly. Insane? And baffling? How much hatred there is for the people of my country in the whole world, especially in the middle east that's supposedly our home? Yeah, sure, there is support too, but it means absolutely nothing when it's based on ignorance and which parts of our lives doesn't fit /their/ narrative and it means even less when it's only words and no actions.

What westerners and also easterners beyond the borders of my country don't understand is that you cannot oppress your oppressor. And an oppressed nation cannot be one with its government.

extremely nervous about q+a interview with Israeli ambassador

[zombielenin]

I just got off the phone with my mom, who is Irani, and I brought up what happened in Iran, and as part of her response, she said “in iran, they say the mullahs are Israeli themselves.” Guys, help me. My brain’s broke.

[transhuman-priestess]

Having to explain to way too many people that no, Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons.
