From the bottom of my heart: Fuck Israel, fuck every single Zionist out there, and fuck anyone who is complicit in this genocide.
May you live the rest of your days in fear for what you are putting the Palestinian people through, you sorry genocidal excuses for human beings.

@aral I don't think you mean "Israel" but "Israel's government and anyone who supports it". There are good Israelis; to think otherwise would be anti-Semitism.
@woo Yes, Israel is the name of the state. And no, being Jewish is not a prerequisite for Israeli citizenship so conflating criticism of Israel and Israelis with anti-Jewish bigotry is to deny the humanity/existence of non-Jewish Israelis. Furthermore, any conflation of criticism of Israel and its genocide with antisemitism is, itself, antisemitic as it posits that all Jews are Zionists and that all Jews support genocide.
@aral Yesbut: I don't think that would stop Right Wing propagandists using your toot as evidence that 'All Lefties are anti-Semites'. It doesn't need to be true to re-enforce prejudices and prevent people listening to you. They aren't looking for truth or logic, just ammunition.
Not wanting to start a discussion and side-track too much but this post made me think about Trump visiting the UK now, where Zionist Keir Starm surely will give Trump a warm welcome. Trump, the successor of the previous POTUS, the proud Zionist Joe Biden.
I believe the strong USA-Israel connection needs to be broken, through activism.
Will taxing the super-rich will an important thing to achieve regarding that ? Today there's this article about France and taxing the rich. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/tax-rich-or-fall-french-pm-faces-budget-ultimatum-2025-09-17/
@aral Your grand-grand-parents generation having been holocausted doesn’t get you off-the-hook for committing one yourself! ☝️🙄
Reading your post I think I sense the incendiary anger at this injustice that I and others feel several times a day.
I'm very certain millions feel it.
I'm also certain that this righteous anger and desire for a true "Never Again" will result in a political earthquake.
How and when that will happen, I don't know. But it has to happen. Humans can't live generations with such dehumanising injustice - both as victims and as observers.
I have a saying:
"I wish for everyone to receive what they themselves wish for the Palestinian people."
I wish for them to have housing, healthcare, food, and happiness.
But you can see how this works both ways, right?
@CosmickTrigger @aral Yessss, I wish the Palestinian people hearts filled with love and no worries, a cosy home and a full belly and to be able to walk in the sun, go out in their boats to fish, take care of their olive trees and never have to see an Israelite ever again.
And to be honest…. A wall around the Israelite territories. To make them feel what they did to others.
@aral It's become my litmus test for trust. There have been several people who I once thought highly of... I thought they were good people who cared about other people. It's like they died and turned into these monsters who want to torture and kill civilians.
I can't wrap my head around trying to survive in Gaza right now. Thank you for helping Gazan voices be heard. Thank you to everyone who's still trying to survive and risking everything to be heard.
