Just saying: if your plans include going door to door and asking if the household has hidden a minority group you hate inside you’re a fucking Nazi
@kcarruthers oh no, what did I miss now
@quinn @kcarruthers israel is "letting " druze and christian villagers remain in Southern Lebanon on the condition that they expel the shia muslim refugees they're hosting. Otherwise they will also get ethnically cleansed.
@catbrainz @kcarruthers oh. Lovely. Great. Drop a link? Can't find it rn
Israel’s Message to a Broad Swath of Lebanon: Shiites Must Go

Israel has issued sweeping evacuation warnings, and pressed some Christian and Druse leaders to expel Shiite Muslims from southern towns, the leaders said.

@catbrainz @kcarruthers well that's a fuckton of yikes.
@quinn @catbrainz it’s very on brand for Israel
@kcarruthers @quinn unfortunately most people only became aware of israel's modus operandi with the most recent genocide in Gaza. Even me, a Lebanese who grew up in Lebanon, was blissfully unaware and uneducated on their operations in my own country. As a child you just don't learn about it in any way unless your parents talk about it. I started looking things up since 2023 and realizing israel has been committing these atrocities since even before its creation was gut wrenching. Made me truly understand the depth of anti-Arab racism from the west. Our lives mean nothing.

@catbrainz @kcarruthers @quinn

Back circa 2005, there was an interview with an elderly Jewish woman on one of the national broadcasters. Talked about her life both in Israel and Australia. Family members who died in the Holocaust. Then in the middle of it, she talks about growing up in British Palatine*, and her family pushing Arabs of their land, then on to more reminiscing.

* My guess is that this was in the early 30s.

@gnoll110 @kcarruthers @quinn yeah, there seems to be a narrative being pushed recently that israelis aren't descendants of holocaust survivors - implying the survivors wouldn't do all those horrific things.
