Yes, Jabotinsky and revisionist Zionists SAID they were colonizers and that Israel was a colonial enterprise, but obviously they didn't MEAN it, says the Jerusalem Post

In Jabotinsky’s lexicon, the term “colonization” meant the return of Jews to their homeland as a people, not at all foreign to the land. They would be engaged in agriculture, industry, and other enterprises that would create the foundations of a state.

As for “native,” Jabotinsky simply meant the Arabs who have resided in the area of the former Judea since their conquest of the Jewish homeland in 638 CE.

To think he saw those individuals, who weren’t even mentioned in the League of Nations Mandate decision, as being somehow more “native” than the Jews is a devilishly ridiculous proposition.

It is telling how many of western media outlets continue to discuss the genocide in Palestine (of course without using the term) as having started on October 7th. this commits an additional act in the furtherance of forgetting the primary violence against Palestinians - settler colonialism

Jared Holt @jaredlholt.bsky.social · 1d

The Trump Admin has portrayed Nick Sortor as mini-martyr to justify cracking down on anti-ICE protesters in Portland.

Meanwhile, Sortor is filing legal junk with the same lawyer used by Joey Gibson: a far-right activist who collaborated w/ Proud Boys to stage violent protests in Portland years ago

I really wish media covering Trump's invasion of US cities would step away from this "Trump wants to fight crime, but how bad is it really?" framing. They obviously don't give a shit about local crime, but this manufactured narrative dominates all the coverage.

www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

As Trump ramps up National Guard threats, what’s crime really like in Portland and Seattle?

Donald Trump has often name-checked both cities, describing them as dangerous. Here's what the numbers show.

This has to be the last straw. If FIFA won’t act, and we know they won’t, UEFA must step in.

NOW.

The headquarters of the Palestinian Football Association — which flies the FIFA flag as a full member — has just been tear gassed by Israeli occupation forces.

A national football institution, treated like a military target.

If the idea that antifascism requires a diversity of tactics (especially when the state expands its weaponization of law) makes you even remotely uncomfortable, I would encourage you to read Mark’s book and other antifascist literature.

We need everybody, w/all antagonism directed towards fascists.

Mark Bray @mark-bray.bsky.social · 4d

It’s true that sometimes the law holds back Trump and affords us some semblance of safety.

But the more we lean into the law as our shield, the more powerful it will become as a sword when Trump changes it in his favor and wields it against us.

Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us.
