Everyone who has seen an authentic image of the Gaza genocide has a duty to inform others about it and fight against denialism.

Just as listening to a Holocaust survivor and seeing the camps helps you to bear witness to the Holocaust, seeing the emaciated children of Gaza and watching Gazan people share their ordeal online makes you a witness to the Gaza genocide.

"Never Again" extends to the genocides that you have lived to see.

I cannot let denialism slide. The perpetrators and sympathizers of genocide all too often get away with spreading false narratives and promoting historical revisionism, even if the facts contradict their beliefs.

As an example, Holocaust deniers claim that the cremation of the people in the death camps was impossible, without realizing that the Nazis didn't care about doing it in a way respectful to the dead and just piled them on to get rid of the evidence of their crimes.

I have seen both Holocaust denial and Gaza genocide denial on the Internet, and it damages my mental health. I hate them both equally and cannot bear to see the ultranationalist butchering of history.

Not only do fascists murder the dead and gloat about their racial supremacy, they deny the crime entirely in order to try and rewrite the truth itself.

It's an insult to my intelligence.

Just as Nazis simultaneously gloat about their killing of "Jewish bolshevicks" (they can't fucking spell. Master race my ass) while also downplaying or denying the Holocaust, the Kahanists and the Israel apologists talk about how happy they are to see the rubble of Gaza and the dead "Islamo Nazis" while simultaneously denying that they are committing any atrocities in Gaza.
@burnoutqueen burnout. Are you aware of the new liberal movement in Israel rn?

@lax

There is a significant socialist movement within Israel that resists the policy of their government, and I personally give them my solidarity.

@burnoutqueen lol no I'm talking about the liberals

Socialism and capitalism have collapsed into social democracy in Israel which is agreed upon by everyone, at least publicly speaking

@lax I've seen the liberal movement who is against the war for practical reasons, and I see them in the same light as the centrist liberals here in the US.

I understand their desire to "bring them home" so to speak, but they are not in the same metaphorical "camp" as me.

@burnoutqueen ok then you haven't because you're flat out wrong

Tfym "for practical reasons" people are against the war or not, there's no superior and inferior reasons to object to wars, that's so objectifying

Bringing them home is the only reason the Israeli center even remotely agreed to this war

I recommend you to read Israeli news because the brand-new, as in, didn't exist ten days ago, liberal movement is making rounds.

@lax

There are also many Israelis who are similarly against the ethno-nationalism of their government who are refusing military service, such as Ella Greenberg. I personally applaud their bravery, and I hope many more people do the same.

@burnoutqueen so the answer is no?

Look I'm aware of what's going on in my own country I don't need you to spoonfeed it to me

@lax I don't really pay much attention to liberals at all.
@burnoutqueen you're labeling them although they again didn't exist as a politial bloc ten days ago
@lax maybe I'm wrong, I just need a frame of reference to properly understand. A link or an organization name would be nice.
@lax I have some mental associations and previous events with the word "liberal" that I'm currently using as a reference.

@burnoutqueen there's no organization yet. Brand-new. People are done with Qataryahu, labels, Palestine, the old ideolgoies, everything.

They are advocating for a single, equal rights state, term limits, protecting the Druze against Syrian aggression. People believe the state's "innate" liberalism has failed the Arabs, the Haredim, and the Religious Zionist and thay it is time for liberalism to stand up and start properly implementing an equal society, with all implications included.

@lax that's actually intriguing.

@lax im personally critical of the "defending the druze" talking point, and I do think a right of return for Palestinians is important to abide by UN resolutions. Not to mention my socialist or Marxist orientation.

But I definitely think that it's a little bit better than the current government in Israel.

@burnoutqueen you can be critical all you want but Israelis are obligated to help the Druze and we'll never again watch from the sidelines as a genocide is happening in or against our name.

It is not a little better. It is 1000000% better than the fascist Qatari traitor we have now.

@burnoutqueen the liberal movement does not recognize a Palestinian identity, but that's only in name. It recognizes the suffering of Arabs living here and wishes to end said suffering; it has Jewish values and caring for minorities is one of them, Palestinian or not.

Liberals oppose Khok HaLeom as it only serves to distant our allies from us.

@burnoutqueen the liberal movement is refusing military service and calling for the replacement of all 120 KMs, the entire high ranked officiary, and for a major reforms of all branches of government.

Only 34% of the people would vote for the current coalition.

@lax that definitely sounds like a break with the current fascistic policy being implemented
@burnoutqueen "fascistic"?

@lax

I will point to the Amnesty international report as documentation of some of the policy I am referring to.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/12/amnesty-international-concludes-israel-is-committing-genocide-against-palestinians-in-gaza/

Amnesty International concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza

Amnesty International鈥檚 research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Amnesty International

@burnoutqueen I don't need any of your reports, I'm asking why you're adding -ic to the word fascist

God I've forgotten how annoying and detached pro Palestinians can be sometimes

@lax im using it as an adjective, that's why
@burnoutqueen "fascist" literally is an adjective

@burnoutqueen and btw this activist you made an example out of? She's making a huge fuss about being the first transgender refuser for no fucking reason

She's just giving fuel to homophobes, completely ignoring any and all lavender culture preceding her, and perpeutalizing the connection the American left created between queerness, antisemitism, and pro-Palestinianhood.

@burnoutqueen What she did was dumb and she should've refused without any of this "I'm the first trans refuser" crap because A) she's not B) there's no connection between her being trans and between her refusal. She's making being queer political in a country where it is not.
@burnoutqueen being correct is irrelevant, she needs to he smart about it as well.
