I'm begging the pro-Palestine movement to inject even the slightest bit of nuance into their rhetoric. I'm basically pro-Zionist at this point, but even I believe you SHOULD be pro-Palestine to an extent.
Here are some things to consider.
Israel has a right to exist. They didn't steal the land. You can say Britain did, but it doesn't matter. It's their land now and they have a right to live there, just as Canadians have a right to live in Canada despite the history of the indigenous people. Apply this to basically any other nation.
The October 7th attack happened. It was bad. It was an act of terrorism. They killed innocent civilians on purpose. The civilians didn't deserve to die for living in Israel. You condemn the attacks.
Hamas is a valid military target. They are a terrorist organization who are constantly attacking Israel. They're not freedom fighters. They may use the plight of Palestinians as an excuse, but they cannot be taken in good faith. You condemn Hamas.
Israelis are not Nazis. There are far right people in Israel as there are anywhere. Right now Israel's right wing is exaggerated due the attacks they've experienced. People's rhetoric can get extreme when such a thing happens. It's certainly something you should be concerned about, but comparing them to Nazis is not useful at all.
Generally speaking, Israel has a good track record of taking a lot of care to avoid civilian deaths. They have a strong history of calling areas by phone to warn civilians. They will then drop a knock bomb onto the roof to scare people out before dropping the actual bomb. They do not have a policy of killing Palestinian civilians.
The reason why Israel has the reputation they do for killing civilians is threefold. 1) Palestine is densely populated which creates huge complications in war. 2) Individual IDF soldiers or groups sometimes commit attrocities, on purpose or by accident. 3) Hamas has one of the most devious PR strategies the world has ever seen.
Hamas uses human shields. And I'm tempted to say they use them more effectively than anyone has in the history of the world. They operate in or under civilian infrastructure... seemingly exclusively. They make damn sure that, if you want to bomb them, you are taking civilians with them.
Combine that with the fact there's basically no way to identify a member of Hamas from a civilian and Hamas can generate an insane civilian death toll. Why? Because they can sell it to us. The western liberal is horrified by civilian deaths. Especially if the skin color of the victims is darker than the people doing the killing. It's the perfect plot for a terrorist group to pretend they have noble intentions of freedom fighting and whatnot.
So is being pro-Palestine just utterly foolish? Absolutely not. Palestinians are in an utterly horrible position in this world and you'd be absolutely insane not to care about that. They absolutely should have their own nation with their own government. They should have the opportunity to live in peace. They should have the opportunity to live in freedom. It's almost self-evident.
Of course Israel is too expansionist. The settlements are a disgrace. The IDF's reputation is not totally unearned and neither is their government's reputation. There is the stench of far right rot in both their military and their government. Netanyahu is absolutely a religious zealot.
All I'm saying is you can't look at this as a totally one-sided thing. Most of the people posting pro-Palestine stuff are being misleading at best and spreading flat out lies more often than not. This is not a valid strategy to enact change. And, frankly, you deserve better for yourself.
You do not need to lie about Israel to be pro-Palestine.

No one touch me Im thinking about knowing Halsin when you were both younger (elves ya know) and being his only semi-long term/committed relationship but one of you ended up somewhere else (maybe during or after or because of the conflict that created the Shadow cursed lands) and you meet again after you get kidnapped by some mindflayers and help rescue him from some goblins. He’s so shocked at first he actually gets out of his bear shape, then after you tell him to get back into bear mode because gods damn it we are in the middle of a battle get it together!!!
And then things you know

Who does it help to call what's happening in Gaza right now a genocide? Because it certainly doesn't help Gazans and Palestinians. The fact of the matter is it currently isn't a genocide. It absolutely is a humanitarian crisis; all wars are. When you're busy constantly calling it a genocide, it doesn't work to bring attention to any risk factors that it could become a genocide later because oh it was already a genocide to begin with.
Far more effective to say hey this is a humanitarian crisis and it's really concerning that so many people have been forced into Rafah which is now being attacked, the lack of access to safe zones and medicine and food and clean water and electricity could possibly turn this into a genocide soon. That helps way more because then you can actually hear the alarm bells.
And hey, then maybe people might see more urgency to examine why there's this lack of access to critical resources. Maybe then more people will realise that Hamas has been stealing all aid resources and depriving Gazans of what they so desperately need.
But if you actually want to help Palestinians and Gazans, think about what you're saying because right now all that's achieved by calling this a genocide already is A) distracting from the warning signs and B) boosting your own damn egos.

Is “from the river to the sea” inherently an antisemetic dog whistle or can it be used in good faith in a similar vein to Free Palestine?
I’ve been hearing conflicting viewpoints
obviously if you feel uncomfortable you don’t have to answer
It's... complicated.
Personally, I don't believe most people saying "from the river to the sea" are actually calling for the immediate dismantling and re-refugeeing of Israel's entire population.
Nevertheless in absolute terms, that is EXACTLY what the slogan is demanding. See, a lot of people don't actually look at a map:
Tumblr media
The area highlighted in red is, approximately, what "the river to the sea" refers to in its most conservative terms. Note how almost every single population center is within that range.
In practical terms, it's straight up a demand that Israel stop existing and Palestine be returned to local control.
And normally, being a fucking sensible person, you'd think, "Well, land back! Give it back!!"
Only you're assuming Israelis are colonizers.
Which IS. NOT. TRUE. Just because Israel is operating as a US colonial project doesn't make Israelis colonizers themselves.
Israelis are better thought of as refugees. People who were successfully genocided out of EVERY SURROUNDING NATION:
Tumblr media
This map shows the expulsion or genocide of Jews from the area surrounding Israel over the last century.
Black-coloured countries have eliminated over 80% and up to 100% of their Jewish populations. That is to say, countries in black successfully committed genocide against their Jewish populations in the last century.
With any surviving refugees sent where?
To Israel.
Red represents greater than 60% population loss. In a century.
Blue represents 40+%, and yellow 20+%.
Remember: population loss over 10% is considered a strong indication of genocide, and 30% population loss is proof.
And remember that these number include the entire span of time between the holocaust and now.
IF it were possible to genuinely negotiate in good faith a peace treaty that allows Jewish refugees to Israel to stay in the Jewish Homeland that they've only barely even been sent to.
Then maybe "from the river to the sea" would not be a threat to finish off the last survivors of genocide.
But between US interventionism in the region, existing racial tensions, and the last century of genocide?
Good faith negotiations simply are not possible right now, and they won't be possible until the US and European powers make it possible by dialing back the imperialism and instead using their massive global power to support genuine negotiations of peace, that actually strive to develop a healthy, equitable society for both Jewish refugees returning to their historic homeland AND the people already living there.
Which, let's be realistic here. The EU is so busy crowing about how it's less racist than the US that they deny having even participated in these forced expulsions, claiming it was all "voluntary." And the US is literally still enslaving BIPOC in prisons.
So! That's just not going to happen!!
Which means we have to look at the phrase "from the river to the sea" not in the context of peace where it would be harmless, but in the context of, unfortunately, more wars over the last century than you could even give names to.
Where it calls for the expulsion of Jewish refugees from their homeland.
To where?
Well, most likely to death. After all, it's not like we're raring to take in ~7 million surviving Israeli Jews here in the US.
And that's the quiet part, I think. The part that people don't realize is being implied.
If Israel is gone, as the chant demands, then where do the 7 million Jewish Israelis go?
"Back home"? To the nations that killed off their entire families?
Because this isn't like land back movements in North America, where it is widely accepted that there would be no expulsions or relocations because they're inhumane.
The expulsions and forced relocations are already underway and currently ongoing.
That's the distinction that I think a lot of gentiles in the west don't grasp.
This slogan isn't "turn Israel over to Palestinian governance to achieve freedom" it's "turn Israel over to Palestinian control to complete the last century of genocides."
Like. Okay. In my ideal world, Israel as a state would never have been founded because the UK wouldn't have Done That To Palestine. But we live in this world, with this history.
To clamour for the dissolution of the Israeli state is to clamour for the slaughter and expulsion of 7 millions Jews. Bro that's half the global population.
Now, do I think "from the river to the sea" is an evil phrase and everyone who says it is genocidal?
No.
I think it's a poetic chant that works well in English and gets a decent message across to most listeners that they should support Palestinian humanity in the face of that genocide.
But I think that if I catch your ass shouting it after a ceasefire or during peace negotiations instead of during actual war crimes?
I won't be likely to trust you. Either you're well intended but uninformed, or worse, you know damned well what you're doing and its vile.
So, I don't know. I guess I would say it's not inherently antisemitic now, at this moment in time.
But give it a few months, and it will be, just like it has been before.

I genuinely mean this in the nicest way possible, but why are you people giving Todd this kind of power over you. You’re under no obligation to acknowledge any part of the show as canon, just cause Bethany says so. You can literally just go on living your life like it doesn’t exist. Nobody can stop you, least of all the Coward

How goes the Minecraft? Any highlights you'd like to share?
ive built a house !! somewhat!! this is one of the first times ive actually committed to a building project without stressing myself out too much! :]
Tumblr media
ive also. had several realisations while building said house. by myself somehow. and one of them was the fact that minecraft has actually been part of my life to an astonishingly large degree and i've been reliving so many memories of it !! from servers with small communities, to factions, to even collaborations with content creators-
uhh this is the . first time im. peaceful (AS MUCH AS MY ANXIETY ALLOWS ME) playing by myself on the server or playing with friends on the server for a while!! which is sorta significant to me i think. since its like. a huge-ish development for who i am as a person (most minecraft memories were fun but i dont think i can ever manage a server with many players on it again without having a genuine, bad anxiety attack ahaheha dies)
IM RAMBLING SORRY JUDAS thank you so much for asking i think its really nice of you to even want to hear about it, genuinely <3
also there was a time martin and i kept falling into the sheep hole it was really funny AHAHA
