My gf has been absolutely fuming over Palestina and how it gets protrayed in the media. Sheโs even more radical than I am I think lol. Maybe this is her turning point. Sheโs never been this mad at something political.
To all the reddit/fediverse liberals reporting these threads for not being pro-israel bootlickers:
show yourself, coward. you know you canโt downvote, and your reports will do nothing, so why not voice your opinion?
Also reports are not anonymous, we just choose not to publish their user names. They still get banned.
I wonder if the soon to-be isntโraelis in-exile will become the new Rh*desians, soon in 20-30 years in the future there would be songs, documentaries, tributes about how โpeacefulโ their Ethnostate was before those ebil Uncivilized arab Terrorist took away their stolen land /s
How can there be civilians at all if mandatory conscription is a thing? Every civilian is a potential soldier in Israel. I feel bad for the people who were just born into the world without making any of these decisions and got hurt but they were, whether they like it or not, going to be used as a tool of terror by the Israeli state.
You canโt use your civilians as weapons and then fall back and claim theyโre not a threat.
If Israel ends the mandatory conscription, and lets the civilians stay civilians, I might have more outrage.
A good term for this, that Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, and Sakai uses (i think), is Settler Garrison. Northern Ireland, the US western frontier, Israel, are some examples.
These are the advance troops of colonialism, using terrorist methods to bully, kill, steal, and wipe out indigenous peoples. Occasionally they even have conflicts with the colonial powers on the methods / best ways to do it. The US revolutionary war was essentially a disagreement between Britainโs settler garrison, and Britain trying to put a leash on their westward expansion.
