"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived.
My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed.
I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'.
There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century.
I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity.
You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

i think growing up u might get this idea that to demonstrate a true love for someone u must try to fix them. u must be good enough to nullify & annihilate what has hurt them or haunts them etc but rlly its just about. being near someone. not fixing them. rather... tending to someone. being mindful. being present. the gesture is not going to be grand & large & polarizing. love & healing are about being there, even in silence, just being there

not enough people understand that disability benefits are basically what it would look like if you turned "if you're too sick for school you're too sick for video games" into an official public policy

Hey I’m just a little confused about why establishing a universal rights framework is incompatible w/ communism. Like, a prohibition against torture for instance, just to give an extreme example.
i dont know why you would think that it is. in cases where you've seen communists critique the political framework of 'human rights', it's because we recognize that these are fundamentally rights selectively granted by states, and not 'natural rights' as they have no independent existence or source other than legislation. i.e. taking a materialist view of 'human rights' to simply describe legislation that states may or may not pass or enforce, and arguing against 'human rights abuses' on their own terms as wrongs perpetrated against people rather than appealing to some specific set of naturally existing 'rights' that are being violated.
