Just for some perspective, Israel has dropped about 11 tons of bombs an hour on Palestinians every day on average for 2 years.

Same with 'peace' rather than justice. All their concepts of social stability are bound up in white supremacy.

White people love talking about social cohesion because their concept of it is shaped - above all - around white dominance.

Liberals are so obsessed with being perceived as moderate and reasonable by the brazen fascists across the aisle that they tend to be much more hostile to speech to the left that they don't like then they are to literal fascist hate speech 🤷‍♀️

Bluesky’s Trust & Safety team has somehow managed to become more restrictive & hostile towards marginalized people than a platform owned by a literal neonazi.

Also it isn’t a conflict.

This is about positioning Israel and Palestine as equal in power and minimises a struggle against a violent colonising oppressor as petty disagreement.

Part of the ongoing dehumanising narrative here is that Palestinians care less for their children/families than others - that they’ll happily use them as ideological and physical shields.

This facilitates Israel targeting them.

See how Israel gets to have ‘families’ and Gazans get to be generically referred to as ‘people’.

It’s little digs like this that are designed to tell you where to position your sympathy.

The disparity is so blatant because they’re confident in the extent to how they’ve dehumanised Palestinians and that they can police dissent.

Settler colonial countries will strategically mourn a single death and grandstand on non-violence while they kill multiple Palestinians daily.

It’s partly to rationalise escalating their own violence, but also basic dehumanisation - to force you to weigh some lives differently.

I also think the crossing of things like cultural boycotts on media did the same - divorced art from its source.

As a side it also signalled peoples susceptibility to propaganda.

The important lesson capital learned is that people could happily divorce art from whether it was exploitative, harmed someone or its proceeds went to people who did.

I think the argument of ‘separating art from artist’ that people used so they didn’t need to reflect on art from abusers, fascists and bigots set us up for AI generated art.

They were functionally arguing that art didn’t need context which turned art into faceless product.

They’ll never admit it’s genocide till they’re clear. They’ll never admit to being Nazis until it’s too late.

They play you for time by getting you to think they’re misguided, misinterpreted, mistaken.

Same people who can take over every Palestinian's phone also apologize every week for accidentally killing someone they shouldn't have killed because they "made a mistake". And Western head of States just open their mouth and swallow. It's disgusting.

"The Global Sumud Flotilla has said it expects an “imminent” Israeli attack now that it is nearing Gaza. Israel itself has said it will “not allow any vessel to enter the active combat zone” and breach its naval blockade of Gaza"

Why have Spain and Italy sent ships to assist the Gaza Sumud flotilla?

Spanish, Italian decisions to send ships to assist Gaza flotilla sign of increased pro-Palestinian sentiment in Europe.

Anyway be suspicious of anyone who won’t throw a fascist out of their house for civility.

It tells you they’ll harbour more of them and treat you like the complainer if you point that out.

It’s not that you can’t ‘disagree’ with someone, but holding it up as the highest ideal where you aren’t critical about what that political difference means is dangerous and ultimately poisons a community.

David Lo Pun-ch Nazis @helpmeskeletor.bsky.social · 14d

It also tells them you’re willing to sell out someone else’s rights by reducing them down to a ‘political difference’ - not more worth defending as a point of argument.

The idea that you should be able to disagree with someone yet still sit beside them is what fascists use to co-opt and take over your communities.

It tells them you have no accountability framework and that you’re susceptible to appeals to vanity.
