#zionist congress

[news4dzhozhar]

The US Congress just passed this insanity but because they didn't also veto the measly 2 week long ceasefire at the UN, Netanyahu has pulled the Israeli delegation from Washington. The level of entitlement Israel has and the US continues to allow is truly sickening.

BDS groups are busy planning a number of demonstrations to oppose official celebrations of the 125th anniversary of the first Zionist Congress (which was held in Basel Switzerland on August 29, 1897).

A Palestinian man is asked in an interview by a white woman if he condemns Hamas while his people are being slaughtered in the open, and HE is the one condemned when he yells that it's injustice to insulate that his people deserve to be murdered, because "Hamas chose this."

A black woman is attacked first in a fight and SHE is the bad guy when she strikes back, she is the one whose face is plastered all over social media to be condemned and shamed for "aggression."

Two sisters are appropriately reacting to their oppressors by ripping off posters promoting their propaganda, and THEY are shamed and attacked for their lack of politeness when their people are being killed for existing.

An American democrat watches her colleagues cheer on genocide and ethical cleansing, the murder of children and the rape of women and the slaughter of families, and SHE is the one censored for speaking out in defense of them, despite her grief of losing family members.

Zionists are not condemned for enjoying the thought of children being killed, for calling Palestinians "animals" or saying Gaza should be "turned into a parking lot", Israeli doctors can get away with demanding that Palestinians, HUMAN BEINGS, should be murdered, that their only remaining hospital should be crushed.

They are not condemned for saying they wanted nuclear weapons unleashed on Gaza, they are not condemned for the imprisonment and torture of children, for desecrating dead Palestinians' corpses and mauling their bodies, for mocking Muslim Palestinians by rubbing their bullets against pig's skin before shooting them, for bombing Palestinian churches, for bombing universities, for shutting electricity from Gaza, cutting Palestinians from food and water, not letting them access to aid, for bombing CANCER hospitals and CHILDRENS HOSPITALS, for turning the sky of Gaza RED from explosions, for killing enough students that the entire school year was canceled, for annihilating families, for attacking Jewish people in Jerusalem, for cutting dead fetuses off dead mothers, for STEALING THEIR SKIN AND ORGANS and using them for their benefit, for forcing CHILDREN to hold a press conference to say that hey, they want to live.

Insinuating that this is about religion is the basis of Zionism. 60 members of Hamas were killed, and 10,500 civilians killed, 4000 of which are children. Over 800 bloodlines erased. Israel says they aim for "damage, not accuracy." Implying this is about Hamas is lies.

When white people in power tell you from their air-conditioned studios this is Israel defending itself, refuse to let Palestinian journalists explain things happening from their point of view, watch those journalists lose their entire families for speaking about what's happening to them, demonize Arabs who rage about injustice, ask Palestinians grieving if they condemn Hamas, know this is propaganda.

You shouldn't need them to tell you they're parroting lies to you. Their lies kill people. Their lies destroy people. Their apologies are insincere and their "sympathy" is limited only to those who look like them. It is unjust. It is cruel.

If I was were to narrate to you every atrocity Israel commited that I am aware of, I would never stop typing.

#and no matter how much people will yell about this #zionists will only listen to other zionists #no matter how brilliant and educated a non-white person #can be #their opinions and thoughts are disregarded #cnn only aired an interview from a nurse working at the Indonesian hospital in gaza because she was white #no matter how many people yell for the world to free Palestinians #how many humans with heart and grace do so #the congress and biden are the ones with power. #listen to people and be patient #we should not quiet down once a ceasefire is called. #we should keep yelling until every man and woman and child and tree and house in Palestine is free #until the birds chirp again without being shot down. #palestine #free palestine

Man, seeing pro-Palestinian stuff makes me miss being in Oakland so much

Only one ceasefire candidate is running against Genocide Joe in my area and she has no chance of winning. :*(

And both Lawrence Hamm and Patricia Campos-Medina will be destroyed by Andy Kim (who is an aipac funded neolib). And there's no competitors against my representative, who signed that disgusting petition denouncing the ICJ ruiling against Israel, so her nasty pro-genocide ghoul-ass won’t be leaving congress anytime soon (along with Josh Gottheimer, who is even more evil than she is. He’s fucking despicable.).

I hate NJ sm

#oakland wouldn't put up with this nonsense #if Josh Gottheimer was running in Oakland his career in congress would be toast #they are loud & proud about supporting human rights #no zionist politicians have a chance of winning there #Lawrence Hamm seems great too because aside from supporting Palestine he supports BLM

I love being Jewish and professionally studying this stuff bc it's always a good time to point out that the biggest pro-Israel organization in America, Friends of Zion, (donors/members include Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, & Donald Trump) was founded and continues to be run by evangelical Christians, and has 10 million members opposed to the 7.5 million Jewish people living in the US (most of whom are open critics of Israel). There are estimated to be about 30 million Christian Zionists in the States alone, while the worldwide Jewish population is about 16.1 million. It was also primarily the US, Britain, and Russia's idea to dump all their Jewish citizens in the Middle East in the first place; the Holocaust just gave them a convenient excuse to go through with it. Strangely enough, those were the three nations that abstained/voted no to intervening in Gaza right now.

Ofc being Jewish and pointing out that Zionism was founded by Christians (and that the founding of Israel in and of itself was antisemitic) tends to get me accusations of being a "self hating Jew" so. This is fun

Zionists have created this paradigm where no one can be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic not even Jews. Goes to show how little it’s about protecting Jewish people and now much it’s just a flavor of European colonialism

#I hate to well actually a Jewish person who studies this stuff but I do think Herzl and the first Zionist Congress are also a little bit to #blame here in addition to Christians but I get your meaning

[pinejay]

it's so crazy that palestine was part of the ottoman empire for nearly 4 centuries but zionists such as chaim weizmann and herbert samuel specifically asked britain to colonize palestine during wwi in order to establish the state of israel later:

#i genuinely don't understand how ppl can support zionism like if u look up the definition of zionism it's right there: #''from 1897 to 1948 the primary goal of the Zionist Movement was to establish the basis for a Jewish homeland in Palestine'' #the core ideology literally admits to the existence of palestine before their desired goal #also the fact that the first zionist congress was held in 1897 should tell u that they were fucking planning this intentionally!! #british imperialism was a direct tool for zionism. the history is RIGHT THERE

[maggi-cube]

There’s just so much evil I’ve learned about today I don’t know how to hold it all

#today I saw a East African young woman who was freed from slavery talking about being trafficked #the torture and death she witnessed #elsewhere children are dying slowly meanwhile those literally demonic zionists are partying and laughing #naked co-signing by global governments #Sudan #Congo #there’s even the Congress trying to sneak Kosa by today (16th) #i donate an esim only to find it’s not even useful anymore cause the power is cut and the world is full of shit #i boycott + I’m too broke anyway #student protest #gotta call my reps tmr #even though they WILL ignore us #i’m losing my mind #and literally everyone is in on it in ways I’ve never personally experienced before although I studied it #it’s so jarring #to know is one thing but to witness something so wrong is literally so disorienting I’m dizzy just thinking of it #don’t you get tired of hurting other people? doesn’t it hurt you? why doesn’t it hurt you? why? why? why?

We can’t get a functional healthcare system or a solution to school shootings or a federal minimum wage above the poverty line or the fucking ability to expel actual fucking nazis from our congress but somehow we can get a near unanimous vote to equate antizionism with antisemitism, something that is only going to harm Jewish people even more than they already are. What a joke country this is

#the woman who was spouting off about Jewish space lasers suddenly cares about Jewish people?? #give me a fucking break #Israel ≠ the entirety of the Jewish population #we already see actual antisemites using this as an excuse to attack Jewish people #and It’s only going to get more people on board #the people who maybe didnt hate jewish people or think they ran the world are now going to be pretty heavily influenced #i know enough jewish people who are pro Palestine to know it’s not everyone who supports genocide #but not everyone has access to that #and now are thinking all jewish people think like that #and that is NOT GOOD!!!! #we went from angry at the government for not doing anything to battle antisemitism in this country #to openly antisemetic members of congress #and now to them as an entirety getting paid to boost antisemitism by equating it with pro genocide rhetoric #Im so scared for the Palestinians of course #and the Brown and Muslim Americans who are attacked because of racism and islamaphobia #and also for the jewish Americans who have a target on their backs because of this #all those zionists who were ‘scared for their lives’ by pro Palestinian protesters? #be ready to actually be afraid #but not from us #from the ACTUAL threats the world wants to ignore

[kujokomi]

Don’t ever stop talking about Palestine. Don’t call it conflict, don’t call it war. It is colonial violence. It is genocide. Martyrdom. Call it what it is. Call for a ceasefire. It’s the most urgent action needed NOW but it is not a long term fix. It doesn’t end there. Don’t lose momentum

#keep spreading news #get up in everyone’s face about it #reach out to congress #punch a zionist #denounce the US govt #denounce any govt funding the genocide #DONT BE COMPLACENT #WAKE UP

4 Elul - HaTikvah - 1907

On this day in 1907 at the 8th World Zionist Congress, the song Hatikvah was adopted as the anthem of the Zionist Movement.  It was sung at the First Zionist Congress in 1897, but would not become the official national anthem of the State of Israel until 2004. 

The lyrics came from a 9 stanza poem written by Naftali Hertz Imber 1878.  In the next 10 years, it would be set to music by Samuel Cohen who adopted the tune from a Maldivian folk song.  The song spread rapidly, but not without opposition.

Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, for one, did not like the song, and in 1897 launched a competition to find a worthy alternative.  His main objection was to a song written by Imber himself, who was not considered an upstanding member of society. Others did not like the non-Jewish origins of the melody and tried to compose alternatives.  Religious Zionists have never favored the song, as it makes no mention of G-d or the Torah.  R’ Kook, the intellectual father of the Religious Zionist movement (discussed in yesterday's briefing) wrote an alternative called HaEmunah (the faith).  Ironically, the Socialist Zionists also opposed HaTikva for its religious and messianic undertones.  They instead proposed Chaim Nachman Bialik’s ‘Birkat HaAm’ (the people’s blessing).  

Nonetheless, the song persevered.  Many of those persecuted and martyred by Stalin and Hitler would sing the song in defiance.  When the State was established in 1948, the government did not make it the official anthem.  That would not happen until 2004 when it was enacted by the Knesset.

Since October 7th, Joe Biden, who is currently trying to get a lawsuit dismissed that says he is responsible for the genocide of Palestinians, has:

Vetoed the UN resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

Asked Congress to approve the sale of 45,000 shells for Israel's Merkava tanks for use in its offensive against Hamas in Gaza

Sent $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel

Met with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said to him "I don't believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist."

Publicly said that he saw the Israeli beheaded babies and then had to take it back since it was debunked

Approved a $320 million 320 for precision-guided bomb equipment for Israel

Defended the raid of Al Shifa hospital where thousands of injured and displaced civilians were sheltering

Said he had no reason to believe the Palestinian death toll was correct because he believed the source was unreliable despite the Health Ministry being recognized as a valid source

Said Hamas’ attack on Israel was like fifteen 9/11s

#this is all I can think of right now but he’s also done a million other things #palestine #joe biden #🦢

What's new(ish) in the settler-colonial state of the US is that a series of bills have been passed in the House (the Baby Senate as I like to say) and are on their way to the Senate that make it harder to voice support for Palestinians while also making sure your direct taxes aid the genocide in Gaza.

These bills affirm the US's stance on the settler-colonial Zionist Entity and the implicit ties that the government has with Israel and really — just goes to show you how Israel is just one big base for American Imperialism.

Anyways, there's still time to call your senate and tell them that you don't want these bills that only further spiral the US into fascism so even if you think it might not do much — it's important that we document our dissent in official sources. And while you're at it — call your congressperson and tell them that if they voted for this you're not voting for them next election. If they voted against the bills, still call your congresspeople and tell them you support their decision to vote against these bills.

Here are the bills:

📍Resolution: HR 6126

Resolution Name: Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act Description: Gives $14.3 Billion To Israel From The IRS (Taxes You Pay). Like straight up. Just takes it from an IRS project, which used our tax dollars to begin with, to give to Israel "defense." Link to check summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr6126

📍Resolution: HR 798

Resolution Name: "Condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff." Description: Will Penalize Students On American College Campuses For Supporting Palestine. This includes "Free Palestine" Protests as according to Rep Owens who introduced the bill (Click). Link to check who voted: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/118-2023/h578

📍Resolution: HR 3266

Resolution Name: "Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act" Description: They will be examining Palestinian education materials to see if it promotes "hate" or "violence" (aka are they teaching their children to become murderers??). Will inevitably require Revision Of Text Books In Palestinian Schools To Portray The Occupation In A Positive Light. Link to summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr3266

📍Resolution: HR 340

Resolution Name: "The Hamas International Financing Prevent Action" Description: Claims to stop financial support for "terrorist" organizations but considering that Gaza's government is run by Hamas, then this would mean Gaza will receive absolutely no aid and donating to people in Gaza could get you in legal trouble. Link to summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr340

There's a button for most of these bills that allows you to contact your representative directly. Please do take the time to contact them — while many of this isn't especially new to Palestinians, the difference is now that we have a larger power in numbers than we did in the past. Please make sure to advocate for you Palestinian comrades in the US whenever possible! Help us Free Palestine one step at a time!
