Reminder that the idea of a boycott targeting *only* Israeli settlements in the West Bank makes no sense. The Israeli government subsidizes the development of settlements & collects taxes on economic activity there, and Israeli society as a whole benefits from […] [Original post on social.coop]

Rather than ending never-ending wars, let's just... get better at processing trauma #israel #lebanon

New rule: anyone who says "Israel has a right to exist" must explain what that means. A right to exist as an ethno-nationalist Jewish state? Or as a democratic state for all its citizens? Or as a binational federation? Or as something else? "Israel has a right […] [Original post on social.coop]

Rest In Power Marjane Satrapi

All AIs reproduce the biaises of their society => western society is deeply, violently anti-Palestinian => most AIs are deeply, violently anti-Palestinian

Israeli police detained a Jewish man for wearing a kippa with the Israeli and Palestinian flags, then took the kippa and cut out the Palestinian flag. Because Judaism is part of the Zionist story, but the main thing is hyper-nationalism and colonialism.

A regular Saturday in the West Bank: Jewish terror and ethnic cleansing https://www.timesofisrael.com/settlers-set-fire-to-palestinian-buildings-cars-in-west-bank-no-injuries-or-arrests/

There's no such thing as "defensive weaponry". The Iron Dome means Israel is shielded from responses to its attacks and is embolded to bomb right and left without consequences. Any reasonable ban on weapons sales must include the Iron Dome […]

For Palestinian Prisoners' day, TINAU published a zine of Arabic protest chants with Hebrew and English translation and transliteration. If you're a student of Arabic or just curious, check it out!

Can't think of something more obvious to say but hey, there is at least one person in Israel who came up with it, better than zero

Love to hear Jewish leaders take stock of the genocide and reassess their relationship with Israel... or wait, they mean stopping to support unions fighting for higher minimum wages or civil rights orgs 🤦🏻

In @gabrielzucman.bsky.social's excellent historical background of Trump's overthrow of Maduro: "in 1957, US oil companies generated as much profit in Venezuela as all US companies across all industries in all Latin American & European countries combined" […]

The Bush admin took 2 years to go from "Saddam has weapons of mass destructions" to "he supports Al-Qaeda" to "Iraq needs democracy" & never admitted it was about oil Within 2 months, Trump went from "Maduro sends fethanyl to the US" to "Venezuela needs democracy" to "we're taking over for the oil"

“Gaza is also ours. We’re just letting them stay there as guests until a certain point, but Gaza is ours.” Not exactly surprising, coming from an overt Jewish supremacist, but it's always better for them to say these things openly and explicitly so nobody can pretend we didn't know […]

Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the Israeli public intellectual, said in a speech in 1980: "The corruption of occupation does not stop with the occupiers - it also deforms the lives of the occupied Some may even be driven to acts of terrorism. I cannot bring myself to moral outrage over this fact, because […]

Disagreeing with the logic or strategy of BDS is fine, but it's always too obvious these critics have no understanding of the boycott: we don't claim that all Israelis as monsters, we simply know that Israeli academia is actively complicit in apartheid, and […] [Original post on social.coop]

Germany keeps its spot on the podium of the states who are most responsible in the destruction of the Palestinian people #israel #palestine #gaza #germany

Gideon Levy, once again, has the correct take on Bondi. Full text of his Haaretz column here: 1/ #israel #palestine #gaza #bondi

In a few hours, I'll join a group of people to write letters of support to Israeli conscientious objectors, young people in jail for refusing to serve in the IDF and contribute to the genocide. Anything I should say or mention in my letters? #israel #palestine #gaza

More demolitions of Bedouin homes, this time in Ka'abiyye, in Northern Israel. Inside or outside the green line doesn't matter. Israel's ethnic cleansing targets Paleatinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and within Israel's recognized border […]

Israel gives us daily reminders that ethnically cleansing Palestinians isn't limited to Gaza and the West Bank. It's also ongoing within the recognized borders of Israel.

On the @972mag podcast: Across the West Bank and Gaza: “Right now, what people fear most is for their security [and] livelihood. National liberation is a luxury.” https://www.972mag.com/podcast-rethinking-palestinian-public-opinion/

Liberal Zionist myth #728: Israeli settlement and ethnic cleansing only happens in territories occupied after 1967 and does not happen within 1948 borders […]

Literally don't care, give him the Nobel. As long as the bombing stops

"brought small children and even infants to observe the confrontations" And I can share with that almost all of my relatives and childhood friends in Israel are *100% convinced* that Zionism is the side that values life, love, and peace

Cool anarchist sticker spotted in Tel Aviv: Holocausts Liberation, Antifascism, Resist Zionism

Trump has no values, principles, or ideology--other than love for himself. If it suits his mood, he'll put an end to the genocide and may even turn against Netanyahu. We can only hope.

Daniel Boyarin wrote in 2006: "It has been said by many Christians that Christianity died in Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Sibubor. I fear--God forbid--that my Judaism may be dying in Nablus, Daheishe, Beteen, and al-Khalil". If written in 2025, his Judaism would have died in Gaza.

I appreciate you Barak

If you do believe there is an ongoing genocide, as the overwhelming majority of humanitarians, researchers, and journalists believe, then taking tangible actions (like providing military escorts to humanitarian convoys to Gaza) is only logical

Can't overstate how much Israelis feel that they've been abandoned by the entire world and must fend for themselves. (It's as if the thousand-pound bombs delivered through the war and US warships actively defending Israel simply... didn't exist)

After so much time spent in Israel Palestine and so many conversations about the conflict, I remain amazed at how many *secular* Israelis believe that Jews have an inherent right to this land because... we were here 2,000 years ago

Night‑time sticker spree in the center of Tel Aviv. From top to bottom and left to right: - Genocide. 80 years after the Holocaust. - Total victory = Final solution. ("total victory" is a pro-war slogan) - Memorial to Palestinian journalists murdered in Gaza - There is no military solution

Today's anti genocide protest in Tel Aviv. Disrupted by right wingers but no violence. Today's chants included: - Katz, Katz, minister of Defense, how many children have you killed today - From the river to the sea, freedom and equality for everybody - Peace, equality, social justice

Just left the West Bank but still receiving updates from activists facing settler violence...

God I hate nationalism (let alone colonialism)

Settlers are bringing construction material to continue preparing the mobile homes, right in the middle of Umm al Khair, for permanent residents. They brought the kids because who said colonialism couldn't be family-friendly?

That's cool

Settlers just attacked the village of Al-Mughayir, in the northern West Bank. In the attack, one of the settlers shot and killed a 20-year-old Palestinian man, Saeed Murad Al-Nassan. All the settlers were wearing white, in honor of the Jewish holiday.

I met a Jewish Israeli activist doing protective presence in Umm Al Khair. He lost *six* friends at the Nova Festival on October 7th. Yet he's spending most of his wake time fighting apartheid and genocide in the West Bank, Gaza border, Jerusalem, Haifa. Grief isn't a license to stay silence.

Opening remarks from B’Tselem Director Yuli Novak and journalist Rami Younis at our recent event, “How to Resist Genocide?”

I don't know what's funnier: that the antisemitic US far-right thinks Israel is behind the Kirk murder, that Netanyahu is so desperately pandering to these antisemites, or that Netanyahu thinks this ridiculous video will help debunking the conspiracy theory

Excerpts from the statement of Bassem Tamimi, Palestinian activist from the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, to an Israeli military judge in 2011: Your Honor, I hold this speech out of belief in peace, justice, freedom, the right to live in dignity, and out of respect for free thought in the […]

Liberal Zionism means believing that Israel must remain a Jewish state *and* that Israel can and should be just to Palestinians. In many ways, being liberal Zionist in 2025 is being delusional: 1/8

If you could print stickers to stick around Tel Aviv (in bars, restaurants, parks, public spaces), what would they say? Asking for a friend

Tel Aviv

Despite everything, Umm Al Khair is genuinely a joyful place

Water and electricity are back in Umm Al Khair. It was three days ago that settlers cut the village off and it took constant advocacy, justification & pressuring to finally get the "civil administration" (the military government) to restore water and power. Daily life under military occupation 🤷
