If only westerners did nothing, instead they stand on the side wringing their hands about “islamic terrorism” while Israel massacres Palestinians using weapons they only have because of the west.

I love seeing Rise Against in the wild. But kind of hate when their lyrics are accurate.

Everyone who allows this to happen deserves to burn.

I’m fortunate that my parents, who were raised going to church, turned away from religion specifically because of the incredible injustice they witnessed. They knew there was no magical spirit coming to save us, they raised their kids to fight for real change here on earth. I have felt such despair and seen the appeal of religion, I think it can be helpful for people so long as it doesn’t allow them to become complacent about what needs to be done here now.

The worst take you’ve ever read

@lemm.ee

every damn time

Both-sidesing a colonial genocide isn’t a good look fam

Takes massive hit from bong.

“Bro, have you ever thought that the people being genocided… are as bad as the people genociding?”

Oh fuck off.

One of them is being genocided. The other has been stealing land and doing the genociding for 80 fucking years. Propped up by all the western white supremacist regimes of the nato empire that want the foothold there because it projects american power on the oil countries.

Do you even know how we know that Israel has nukes? They tried to give nukes to the South Africa apartheid regime because they didn’t want that apartheid to end because they feared it would lead to people criticising their apartheid. It leaked. That’s how we know. They have always been fucking awful.

50% of the population of Gaza are under 18. They’re not good guys? Literal fucking children who have received 6000 bombs in 6 days? Fuck off.

You should be launched into the sea.

both siding the warsaw ghetto uprising.

Homie is banned, leaving it up for dunks and replies tho.

drop a brick on your toes, liberal

When the indigenous peoples of the americas fought back and killed the settlers who were slaughtering them, were they both the bad guys too?

Step on a lego

Removed by mod

Shut the fuck up

Why is this filth still up? No dunking just straight up bans for genocide supporters

Both-sidesing an ongoing settler colonial genocide is bad, actually, and you should feel bad about yourself.

for me guts is close

is literally it but it gets used ironically more often than not

First as a tragedy… again as a tragedy

this is some fucking cursed irony.

Enough of Genocide, Long live the struggle of the Palestinian People

As a result of the serious events that are happening in Palestine in recent days, from Acción Libertaria, we want to remember that the State of Israel keeps the Palestinian people under brutal occupation. That through this illegal and illegitimate occupation the Zionist State is trying to exterminate the Palestinian people by perpetrating what could surely constitute the greatest genocide of the 21st century.

Israel, with the construction of the wall, the checkpoints and other criminal practices, has turned Gaza into an open-air prison, a ghetto that almost doubles that of Warsaw, the largest ever built. Inside, the Palestinian population is denied the most basic rights inherent to any human being, by denying, they are even denied their right to exist.

We denounce that with the excuse of defending itself from terrorism, Israel applies a policy of terror and expulsion through permanent military incursions, in which war crimes are regularly perpetrated. As an example, in the first half of 2023 alone, the Israeli armed forces have killed 34 boys and girls from Palestine in routine actions.

We want to make clear the permanent illegality of the State of Israel, a state that today fails to comply with more than 100 United Nations resolutions and more than 40 Security Council resolutions. By failing to comply, Israel fails to comply with resolution 181 of the United Nations of 1947, the founding resolution of the State of Israel. Does anyone remember what happened in Iraq when international thugs alleged that this state was failing to comply with a United Nations resolution?

Far from what happened in Iraq, the State of Israel is constantly rewarded for its crimes. He is a criminal, but he is our criminal. The European Union and, in particular, the Spanish State are a good example of this international collusion with Israel’s genocidal policies.

The EU became Israel’s first trading partner when it signed, in 1995, a Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement that came into force in 2000. This Agreement was revised in 2008 for an “improvement of relations.” Each year, the EU receives 25% of Israeli exports and Israel imports 40% of its purchases from the EU.

However, the clauses of the preamble and article 2 of said Association Agreement (on respect for Human Rights, democratic principles, and the United Nations Charter), have been systematically ignored by Israel without any response from “ its preferred partners. Furthermore, in its article 83, the aforementioned treaty prohibits trading with any product originating from occupied territories, a clause also violated by Israel and ignored by “its preferred partners.”

The Spanish State is Israel’s tenth trading partner in the world, and Israel is Spain’s first market in the Middle East. From the 80s until today, the establishment of different bilateral agreements and conventions between Spain and Israel has continued. Among these trade agreements are, as could not be otherwise, the purchase and sale of weapons.

We want to express that we are deeply repugnant by the statements made by the leaders of the international community in support of the strategy of terror and extermination perpetrated by the Zionist State. There has been no time for Joe Biden, who in 2021 claimed not to be Jewish but a Zionist, to express his “unwavering support for Israel”, after which all his servants of the international community, like Pedro Sánchez, have had no time to join to violence, the violence of putting the victim, Palestinian and executioner, Israel, on the same level, and demanding that the Palestinian people allow themselves to be exterminated without protesting much.

We want to denounce the hypocrisy of equalizing the actors of a conflict that can be staged in stones against tanks and whose consequences are punishable by 20 years in prison for throwing a stone, even if from 12 years of age. While supporting, subsidizing and applauding those who are perpetrating genocide with tanks.

We also want to denounce the hypocrisy of that part of the international community, which is the same one that, raising the flag of the fight against occupation, sends weapons to Ukraine to weaken a geopolitical enemy at almost zero cost, at the cost of lives and property. suffering of the people of Ukraine.

In view of the situation we can only say, in the most forceful way possible, LONG LIVE THE legitimate and legal STRUGGLE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE against the occupation and for their existence.
