“We pretend to be innocent victims. Of course the Arabs attacked us. Since they have no armies, they could not obey the rules of war. They perpetrated all the barbaric acts that are characteristic of a colonial revolt.”

In @gabrielzucman.bsky.social's excellent historical background of Trump's overthrow of Maduro: "in 1957, US oil companies generated as much profit in Venezuela as all US companies across all industries in all Latin American & European countries combined"

Comprendre l’intervention américaine au Venezuela
On ne peut pas comprendre l’enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro si l’on ignore les masses financières colossales associées à un changement de régime à Caracas.

The Bush admin took 2 years to go from "Saddam has weapons of mass destructions" to "he supports Al-Qaeda" to "Iraq needs democracy" & never admitted it was about oil
Within 2 months, Trump went from "Maduro sends fethanyl to the US" to "Venezuela needs democracy" to "we're taking over for the oil"

Not surprising from an overt Jewish supremacist, but it's better for them to say these things openly and explicitly so we can't pretend we didn't know.

Disagreeing with the logic or strategy of BDS is fine, but it's always too obvious these critics have no understanding of the boycott: we don't claim that all Israelis as monsters, we simply know that Israeli academia is actively complicit in apartheid, and therefore should not be engaged with.

When the city scraped off our crosswalks, they also removed our memorial to Nadir. Today we went to put it back and the cops made us stop. But no matter how hard they try, the city can’t erase the memory of Nadir or their own negligence that contributed to his death.

In a few hours, I'll join a group of people to write letters of support to Israeli conscientious objectors, young people in jail for refusing to serve in the IDF and contribute to the genocide.

Israel gives us daily reminders that ethnically cleansing Palestinians isn't limited to Gaza and the West Bank. It's also ongoing within the recognized borders of Israel.

Over 300 Palestinian-Bedouin face forced evictions following mass home demolitions in Negev/Naqab
The Israeli authorities’ demolition on 8 May 2024 of 47 homes in Wadi al-Khalil, an unrecognized Palestinian/Bedouin village in the Negev/Naqab, without proper consultation or compensation underscores the urgency to dismantle Israel’s apartheid system, said Amnesty International today. The demolition orders against the Abu Assa neighbourhood in Wadi al-Khalil were issued by Israeli planning authorities […]

These settlers do not represent you, and yet every single Israeli government since 1948, whether right wing, centrist or left wing, has at best turned a blind eye to ethnic cleansing, at worst actively worked toward it--both inside and outside '48 borders
I’m a Zionist living in Israel who has consistently voted for parties who would end the occupation and negotiate a just solution for the Palestinians. These settlers do not represent me.
Your determination to misunderstand what Zionism is and lump us all together makes you the silly bigot.

Trump has no values, principles, or ideology--other than love for himself. If it suits his mood, he'll put an end to the genocide and may even turn against Netanyahu. We can only hope.

Daniel Boyarin wrote in 2006:
"It has been said by many Christians that Christianity died in Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Sibubor. I fear--God forbid--that my Judaism may be dying in Nablus, Daheishe, Beteen, and al-Khalil".
If written in 2025, his Judaism would have died in Gaza.

If you do believe there is an ongoing genocide, as the overwhelming majority of humanitarians, researchers, and journalists believe, then taking tangible actions (like providing military escorts to humanitarian convoys to Gaza) is only logical
