i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni "well thats different, what you protested was good and what they're protesting is bad." as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.

the intentional description of israel and gaza as 'neighbors' is misleading. israel is not palestine's neighbor; this is a myth generated by the two state solution that has never materialized. israel is an occupier. it exists on top of palestine. people can be neighbors, and they once were until 1948, but settler colonial states cannot.

geographically speaking, israel and gaza are not neighbors, because israel occupies gaza and controls its airspace, sea and borders and has a dedicated civil registry and access to every single person living there. it is more accurate to consider israel superimposed upon gaza than a separate entity separated by a border.

socially speaking, israel and any part of palestine are also not neighbors, because israel occupies both gaza and the west bank. now of course israelis will differ on this, because they consider the very existence of palestinian neighborhoods and the palestinian authority to be a great generosity on their part—but neighbors who control your livelihood, who are hellbent on stealing your home, who invade your neighborhood with machine guns and soldiers are not neighbors in any sense of the word. they are aggressors and invaders.

the entirety of israel exists on the presumption that palestinians can either be out of sight or out of mind. but when they are not—when they are visible and when they are considered—they are demographic threats to be controlled and disposed of. palestinians are only neighbors when they fight back, and suddenly it is israel that has "neighbors that want to destroy it."

this is nothing but another commentary on the issues with implying symmetry to israel and palestine, of the intellectual dishonesty of claiming it to be a conflict, etc. but i think it is helpful for visualization, because israelis are greatly deceived by their own claim that they are a small vulnerable country surrounded by hostile neighbors. they are a militarized settler colony implanted on top of palestinian corpses. they shouldn't look to the horizon for their 'neighbours,' they should look down.

when I was in high school my dad was speeding like crazy because I was running late to my job at the cemetery. and the cop who pulled him over gave him three whole tickets because who the hell goes 95 in a 25??? but then, when my dad went to court the cop didn’t show, and so the judge looked over at the charges and just couldn’t believe it. he thought the cop must’ve been so racist that he made it up because who the hell goes 95 in a 25? so my dad got all 3 tickets dismissed bc of racism. that he didn’t even experience because he was in fact going 95 in a 25.
