As Israel breaks the ceasefire with air strikes on Gaza, its F35 fighter jets are being kept in the air through parts shipped from Williamtown NSW, and made in Bendigo Vic and numerous other locations. We say it again, there must be a two-way arms embargo on Israel.

The most liberal approach to the Palestinian question from any mainstream Israeli party is that of South African Bantustans, which would actually be a major improvement over the current situation.

Oftentimes I see people cite Yair Lapid as evidence of a meaningful opposition to Netanyahu. Here is Yair Lapid's vision of peace in his own words last year.

Then, here is what Netanyahu said in 2018.

Compare them.

A power advantage in our favor, that creates two political entities that are not equal in power, or in value. One is a demilitarized Palestinian state, that is small and dependent on us, and [the other is] a strong Israel”

“A potential solution is one in which the Palestinians have all the powers to govern themselves but none of the powers to threaten us,” he said. “West of the Jordan, Israel and Israel alone will be responsible for security… It’s not just a question of hot pursuit. It’s also having the ability to be there all the time.”

“It is what it is. You can give it any name you want: state-minus, autonomy-plus, autonomy plus-plus … We’re not going to imperil the life of the state [of Israel], you know, for a label or a good op-ed.”

If one side is firing on the other, that is not a test of the ceasefire, that is a violation. For the love of all things holy, stop running cover for a genocidal state

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

Prime Minister Netanyahu has instructed that the Rafah crossing will not be opened until further notice. Its opening will be considered based on the manner in which Hamas fulfills its part in the return of the deceased hostages and in implementing the agreed-upon framework.

‘It was worth all the suffering in that damn place,’ zo schreef een Philips-topman over zijn tijd als reservist in Gaza. Vorig jaar vocht hij mee met het Israëlische leger in Zuid-Libanon waar volgens een VN-commissie oorlogsmisdrijven zijn gepleegd. Toch blijkt vervolging in Nederland moeilijk.

You just said Indigenous people in the new world had no laws, so either you are ignorant, racist, or you are not arguing in good faith.

Ashra 🍉 @ashra.bsky.social · 2d

The people living there had no laws? Really? Either they had their own laws, which would almost certainly have included rape, or, arguably, they were under Spanish law as a colony of that country. But no laws in the new world? C'mon.

Ashra 🍉 @ashra.bsky.social · 2d

This may shock you, but rape was in fact illegal in most jurisdictions at the time. Still, I guess trafficking ten year olds doesn't correspond to ecocide

I don't understand the point you're making here. Slavery was also legal and accepted at one point. That doesn't mean we give historical perpetrators a free pass
