- #Israel is carrying out #genocide in #Gaza.

- Context! You must go back… all the way to October 7.

- Sure, let’s go back: let’s go back 76 years to May 15, 1948, to the #Nakba; the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people where 750,000 people were “expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba)

- No, no, not like that.

@HuK
You are of course referring to the thousands of Palestinians being held by Israel right? And the IOF practice of using civilians as literal human shields when committing their war crimes. Right?

@randahl

While children are starving in Gaza, Israeli citizens attack an aid truck at the Tarqumiya crossing.

If you side with this, you are on the wrong side of history.

The German state's repression of the Palestine Congress in Berlin and its persecution of Palestine solidarity activists is a sign of the creeping resurgence of fascism in Germany.

Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

Like just incredible "burning the future to power the present" energy here

I cannot logically discuss Israel/Gaza with people who believe this atrocity began with Hamas war crimes on 10/7.

If you ignore a 60 year illegal military occupation, 700K illegal settlements, a two decade blockade, 7000 Palestinians indefinitely detained in Israeli prison w/o charge, 800 Palestinian children indefinitely detained in Israeli prison w/o charge & denied access to counsel or parents, & at least 240 Palestinians killed by IDF from 1/1-10/6/23—then you are not engaging in good faith

If they don't care today, they will when they face higher prices because of trade sanctions, when they can't travel freely because of visa restrictions, when Israeli startups can't raise funds, when they lose hundreds of million in European research subsidies, when they can't participate in cultural, sporting, or academic events.

This conflict will only end when the cost of occupation outweighs its benefits for most Israelis.

Boycotts. Divestments. Sanctions.
