D1@wellingtonrock After the attention Mariann Budde's speech got, it was a disappointing to find out that she is a Zionist, t.i. somebody arguing a state has the right to protect itself by colonizing and killing indigenous people.
I am very SORRY to hear that!
It's shameful on her to excuse Genocide.

@wellingtonrock but then the "dani1" joined mastodon on Saturday and giving you "information" without any reference and background. Are you sure that his statement is true?
@fridrich You are right to question this reference. I based myself on a video talk with quotes from a writing of Budde. It was Budde's statement published on 11 Oct 2023. I would suggest you to read it yourself. If you would argue that on 11 October Budde, like a lot of people was too shocked to make a clear judgement of the situation, I would agree with you.

The critical post with citations is from Abunimah, who's language is not neutral but I think his analysis is correct
