The letter seems to be fitting into a pattern of pro-Israel organizations, such as Canary Mission and Betar, targeting critics of Israel’s military actions, as well as supporters of Palestinian self-determination. Betar says it has provided lists of noncitizen protesters to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security, and other government agencies, recommending deportation.
We urge you and your office to investigate whether or not Ms. Rachel is being remunerated to disseminate Hamas-aligned propaganda to her millions of followers, as this may violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)
Like she needs the cash, fucking lol. Peak JAQing off
She only posts related content saying children shouldn’t die and acknowledging victims by name, making them into people… , and those children are Palestinian. That’s her crime.
Ah yes, Ilan Pappe, who Benny Morris called “one of the world’s sloppiest historians”.
Benny Morris, who considers the Nakba justified. The criticisms are unfounded. Far more reputable Historians agree with Ilan Pappe and recognize his work as highly credible.
But in an astonishing recent Ha’aretz interview, after summarizing his new research, Morris proceeds to argue for the necessity of ethnic cleansing in 1948. He faults David Ben-Gurion for failing to expel all Arab Israelis, and hints that it may be necessary to finish the job in the future. Though he calls himself a left-wing Zionist, he invokes and praises the fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky in calling for an “iron wall” solution to the current crisis. Referring to Sharon’s Security Wall, he says, “Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another.” He calls the conflict between Israelis and Arabs a struggle between civilization and barbarism, and suggests an analogy frequently drawn by Palestinians, though from the other side of the Winchester: “Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians.”
Why do you write “Zionist” when it’s not written in the article at all? “Zionist” and “pro-Israel” is not necessarily the same.
Huh? How the heck does that work? If such anti-Israel Zionists exist I definitely haven’t met them.
Well, for the sake of argument I consider myself anti-Israel Zionist in the sense that I oppose the current state of Israel and it’s right-wing government, but I support the general idea of a Jewish state. Does that make sense?
In a pre-1947 world, would you support the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine? Knowing, of course, that there’s no way of drawing the lines of such a state without including a significant number of Arabs that precludes a state that’s both Jewish and Democratic without ethnic cleansing. The way real-life Israel “solved” this problem was by committing ethnic cleansing, AKA the Nakba.
Ethnostates are okay so long as you agree with their political views?
Murderous land thieves have no legitimate rights to the land they stole.
While Israel has stolen land from the Palestinians, the Jewish people are still native to the broader region of Levante. Just like the Palestinians are.
Any government that murders steals and commits terrorism on innocents like Israel does every single day since the first day it existed is not a legitimate government and not a legitimate state. It was clearly a mistake for the world to recognize Israel as a state. Israels government is illegitimate and needs to be recognized as such.
Yes, it’s the same. If you want to educate yourself about the topic read Israeli historian Ilan Pappe or Palestinian philosopher Mohammed El-Kurd.
This was a crosspost, didn’t realize it was a modified headline, though considering where I’m cross-posting it from I really should be more mindful of such things LMAO
Fixed
You should also link the original post and state it’s cross-posted.
ie: cross-posted from (permalink of original source)
Nah, for one, that “cross-posted from” thing is dumb AF when there’s a dedicated UI button/link that automatically shows when a link is detected elsewhere on the Lemmy-verse.
That’s how you end up with cluttered posts like:
Cross-posted from:

For two, I’m cross-posting content from .ml comms to the nearest non-.ml comm as part of ongoing boycotting efforts to reduce .ml’s influence to make defederation an easier decision for admins everywhere because of the .ml admins insistence to push their Tankie ideology through various means from censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China to allowing propaganda outlets (such as RT) to flourish
Adding a low-friction link like that runs counter to that.
Holy moly, I had no idea it’s that bad. Thanks for the link.
