If I feel this gaslit just checking the news, I cannot imagine how Palestinian people are feeling, watching every institution conclude that they deserve this. Palestinians did not ask for the British to install a foreign power in 1948 to cleanse the European conscience.

When I heard about the IOF opening fire on Palestinians getting food aid, my immediate reaction was, "That sounds exactly like something Israel would do," because I was sent to Zionist schools for 15 years and learned from the inside how these people think and act.

Antisemitism is, at its core and in its history, white supremacy. Zionism is, at its core and in its history, an (arguably internalized) extension of WS. The same systems & state actors (e.g cops) that uphold WS + AS will always uphold Zionism. There's no contradiction.

Zionism is not a trauma response to WW2, nor is it about Judaism. Theodore Herzl was an atheist, and jews to him were a race. Zionism is one of the last stands of 19th century ethnonationalism, a child of Cecil Rhodes. It is not a reaction to nazism but kin to it, a rival cousin.

This is why I've been screengrabbing everything from Zionists. I KNOW 100% that they will pretend they didn't know details or didn't support it. I know that they are narcissists who will paint themselves as the victims regardless of reality. When they try that, I'll have receipts

We know how this liberal fascist genocide apologia goes. They’ll talk about how they had no idea what was going on. In a few years, they’ll pretend like they actually opposed it the whole time. And their grandchildren will claim they fought with the anti-zionist resistance.

Without its artists Berlin would be a cultural wasteland. The German govt does not deserve the cultural capital of the very same people it is preying on and silencing, who in several decades they will pretend to care about again if only it can benefit their PR.

And because 90% of Zionist education consists of dehumanizing Palestinians + siloing young Jews off from the outside world, this propaganda works w/i its own system. To those never in it or who have unlearned it, it is the most absurd, horrifying racism + dehumanization.

90% of the Israeli propaganda is contingent on people’s racist capacity to believe that the resistance (& Palestinians generally) don’t & can’t act rationally, can’t think strategically, & are devoid of any intrinsic positive values. That’s why they just say anything.

PSA to the Zionist trolls who have all recently decided that "as a Jew" is a sick burn: nobody outside of your rapidly-shrinking fetid circle has heard of this expression, or finds it incisive.

We are not used to seeing perpetrators of genocide be gleeful in the act. Memorial culture of past genocides focuses on victims (for good reasons), and includes perpetrator documentation, if it all, within the framework of guilt + shame. It's new to see the active glee.

@KarelKrullemans My experience is a misrepresentation ... of my experience? Do you know how many hundreds of examples of these interactions I have? This was one of the more personal ones. But I would run out of memory on my computer if I screenshotted every ex. of Zionists writing these things.

Yes. A MAJOR through line of my Zionist school education. (Each student / parent also had to donate to the JNF every few months so that they could "plant trees" aka demolish Palestinian villages). It was fairly recently that I realized every colonial project has used this line.

The Canadian Minister's comment that Palestine was "a crappy piece of land with nothing on it" is mainstream among Zionists. Here's a screenshot from the website of the JNF, which is the most important Zionist group worldwide & was founded in 1901 as a precursor to Israel. 1/

It follows that the project of Israel as it relates to Jewishness is internalized antisemitism. The sight of Holocaust survivors was a reminder of the world they wanted so desperately to leave behind.

As horrible as my Hebrew school was, we DID learn about how badly Holocaust survivors were treated in Israel. This was not a secret. In one book we read (also a film), the daughter is so filled with shame at her mother's (a survivor's) trauma. The trauma was a local embarrassment

This looks like delusion (& it is), but to anyone familiar with both narcissism + zionism, it makes complete sense. The project of zionism can be scaled up from this one tweet: always believe that you are the victim and everyone else is the abuser, regardless of reality.

This is being ratio’d. Because that’s what they do. They abuse and then they abuse more. They abuse and abuse and abuse until you go mad. You must never go mad. Their minds are poison.

Completely agree, except that what these legislators define as "antisemitism" is not actual AS. AS is being redefined in bad faith. These legislators harbour more actual AS (in the form of white nationalists + their footsoldiers) w/i their ranks than the entire global 🍉movement.

this is why it’s laughable to compare antisemitism with islamophobia and anti-palestinian racism in this country. only one has institutional and legislative support, to the point where palestinians’ and other civilians’ inalienable rights are forcibly stripped

Watching in real time how well propaganda works on people is actually horrifying, from the anti-trans "parental rights" idiocy of last month to the current shameless support for Palestinian genocide. People love to identify as victims even when they have 100% of the power.
