Article 11 of the Hamas (1988) Charter:
Because the land was conquered by Islam, it must be ruled by Shari’a law from now until the end of times.
Absolutely nothing about that statement is pro-indigenous sovereignty.
Also I wish all Spaniards supporting Hamas a very why do you think Spain would be the exception how do you not realize this applies to you too?
There was this communist group I flirted with in college that mostly acted as a book club that showed up to other people’s protests all the time.
If you know anything about communists they’re obsessed with “dialectics” which is a Hegelian philosophical form of logic. By itself it’s fine or whatever but a few years after I’d drifted away from them they do this really weird thing
They publish this big article about how the Big Bang Theory is wrong, and worse a sort of smuggled in creationism that is propped up by institutional science for obscure reasons that have something to do with ideological propaganda of the capitalist state or something.
And of course no one on staff is a physicist or is using any real math at all to argue this point because ultimately it’s just that according to them “dialectics” demands that the universe be eternal and thus any “beginning” point has to be dismissed out of hand.
And suddenly everyone in the org in thirty different countries were parroting this and pretending that rejecting the Big Bang is some obvious logical result of dialectics and getting into all these heated online arguments about it.
All these people were now convinced that because they read a book on Hegelian / Marxist philosophy (probably just some articles in reality) that they were experts on cosmology and knew more than PhDs who’d spent their lives on this.
And that’s when it really hit me that oh, these organizations are animated by conspiracy theories. Their members are attracted by the allure of secret knowledge that explains the whole world.
We can dissect all kinds of ideological currents and justifications but really it’s all the same as flat earthers. They seek simple explanations that purport to unlock the entire world for them because they can’t really accept how complicated and chaotic reality is.
Obviously these same people are raging antisemites now as the broader left has become because, yeah, when you’re already deep into conspiracy theories you inevitably are attracted to the biggest, oldest conspiracy theory out there: the Jews are behind all the bad things.
There’s no logic behind it. It’s the mindset. The way of thinking. Conspiratorial thinking rots your brain. It’s rotted the left and the right. And it’s why Jews should really not trust socialists ever again. Because they will always come back to this. It’s their way of life
TW FOR MY JEWS AND ISRAELIS: this has footage of the girls’ kidnapping and abuse.
i am posting this for the inevitable “they were treated well” posts bc hamas held them at gunpoint and made them speak arabic.
thinks about how jews are hypervisible and yet hyper invisible. how we are always being spoken of and in the public mind and grouped with "abrahamic religions" yet how people know so little about our actual culture, religion, history. how people know about the holocaust but don't know why it happened. how people know the word "antisemitism" and say they don't support it but don't believe it's still a real problem. how people know jews exist but don't think about how antithetical to jewish life their christian societies are, how few jews there are. how people assume jews are just diet christians, just special white people, both to be made hypervisible as the supposed symbol of the wrongs of white christian hegemony and to be made hyper invisible victims of it.
Re: Red Cross not visiting Israeli hostages. Red Cross has been visiting and working as diligently as possible towards getting hostages released. It is a difficult situation and dangerous for everyone.
Source: I work for the Red Cross
That’s literally a lie as multiple hostages have said otherwise. Just because the organisation claims to do this, doesn’t mean they did…
Your Source: trust me bro
Well, I’m an Israeli who does her research. The Red Cross only got involved recently with transportation of the hostages- and they have not been handling it well either:
1. The hostages did not receive proper health care while held hostage for almost 2 months.
The Red Cross didn’t even contact them at all until the recent exchange deal!
-Many were rushed to surgery as soon as they were returned to Israel .
-An elderly woman has been airlifted to hospital, and she is currently in critical condition.
2.Violent mobs are attacking those transportation cars while they’re delivering the hostages.
3. Hamas terrorists continued to threaten the hostages as they were exchanged: they posed them and told them to wave / smile.
They filmed it all and made a spectacle out of it.
4. Unlike the deal’s terms, families were separated: fathers and uncles left behind, mothers separated from their children…
5.Women were tested for rape / pregnancy for the first time in the Israeli hospitals.
6. Hospitals were used by Hamas to hold hostages - where were the Red Cross?? How did this happen under their watch?
The Red Cross has failed these people time and time again.
I could go on but I think I’ve made my point.
Did you even do a simple google search or do you hate Jews/ Israelis that much?
Once again, don’t believe Hamas’ propaganda.

Its inability to be any help or comfort to the Jews is reminiscent of its failure during World War II.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has won three Nobel Peace Prizes. Its stated policy of neutrality has gained it entry into area
Nothing illustrates Red Cross hostility and contempt for Israel more vividly than the organization’s refusal for sixty years to admit Israel’s relief organization Magen David Adom (MDA) into its ranks or its ongoing capitulation to Arab demands that the Jewish group use a red diamond instead of the Star of David.
During the 1950s the International Committee of the Red Cross granted official recognition and membership status to relief groups that use other emblems such as the Muslim Red Crescent and Persian Red Lion; but it refused to sanction the Magen David emblem as a protected symbol. Israel thus was faced with two options: accept the Christian cross or Muslim crescent as its emblem or be excluded. It chose exclusion.
The rejection of MDA was more than a refusal of status equality and the generous financial assistance granted to Red Cross sister agencies. It was also a refusal of protection. Hospitals ambulances and medical workers identified by a Red Cross Red Crescent or Red Lion (until the Iranian Revolution of 1979) are protected by international humanitarian law. By contrast personnel and equipment identified by a Magen David are deprived of this safeguard.
Thus a bitter irony played out whereby the ICRC was sheltering Palestinian ambulances that were often used to transport terrorists and weaponry while refusing protection to MDA ambulances rushing to aid the victims of terrorism.
Admitting Israel
The tide began to slowly turn in 1999 with the appointment of Dr. Bernadine Healy as president and CEO of the American Red Cross. Healy was infuriated by the blatant injustice of Israel’s exclusion from the ICRC. Almost immediately upon taking office she took the bull by the horns.
“We are a country that doesn't exclude. You don't belong to a country club that excludes blacks or Jews” she told her board members. She noted that MDA had saved hundreds of thousands of lives — Jewish and non-Jewish — throughout its history and added that in the previous decade MDA had trained many members of the International Red Cross in emergency medical skills ranging from basic first aid to complex trauma treatment.
Speaking at a Red Cross convention in Geneva Healy said the exclusion of MDA is “a betrayal of the sacred principles of this movement and cannot be tolerated any longer” who which Red Cross President Cornelio Sommaruga countered angrily asking “If we're going to have the Shield of David why would we not have to accept the swastika?"
Astounded at the comparison Healy began to grasp that hostility to Israel was deeply embedded in the world body. Undeterred she translated her views into aggressive action. She suspended American Red Cross dues payments to the international organization amounting to $5 million annually or about one quarter of the ICRC’s annual budget until the parent organization changed its policy toward Israel. Eventually the withheld dues began to cut heavily into Red Cross programs and the organization finally indicated it was ready to negotiate.
But Healy’s courageous stand cost her her job. Healy lost a no-confidence vote by the America Red Cross board who also voted to resume partial payment of dues to the Geneva organization. The move undercut Healy’s authority and forced her to step down in 2001. Although Red Cross board chairman David McLaughlin protested that the board had not pushed Healy out. Standing beside him Healy insisted “I don’t think that’s true.”
Former US Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger called her departure “a tragedy for the American Red Cross and revealed that Healy had acted upon his advice in withholding ICRC dues. Eagleburger praised her single-minded stance with the world organization and decried the “weak people” who “succumbed to the blandishments of Red Cross apologists” and abandoned the idealistic stance of Dr. Healy.
“She rightly saw it for what it is… an immoral policy. One that looks and smells too much like a certain country’s infamous policies of the 1930's and 1940's” he said.
Hollow Victory
Despite Healy’s departure the campaign she had begun acquired momentum. Geneva continued to drag its feet but American pressure finally produced results. Israel’s MDA was admitted to the International Red Cross in June 2006 when the all 189 Red Cross and Red Crescent societies voted on the matter. 98 groups voted in favor 27 against and 10 abstained.
Uultimately however it was a hollow victory for Israel. The international organization rejected the Star of David emblem and Israel was forced to agree to place its red star inside a new emblem—a red square—when operating in countries outside its own borders. In countries that object to the Magen David emblem Israel had to agree to use the red square alone when delivering relief.
Many observers criticized the deal saying that forbidding the symbol of Judaism while admitting Christian and Islamic symbols were rank anti-Semitism. The Wall Street Journal editorialized that “it is a disgrace that the Star of David which symbolized the faith that spawned both Christianity and Islam is excluded.” The New York Sun called their editorial on the issue “The Hate that Endures.”
“Press releases were flooding the wires yesterday exulting in the news that Israel's Magen David Adom [would finally gain admission] to the International Committee of the Red Cross” The Sun wrote. “But it wasn't actually the red Star-of-David symbol that the signatories endorsed.
“No instead of allowing the actual symbol used by the Israelis the diplomats forged a compromise by which a red square would be added to Israel’s ambulances [operating outside the borders of Israel]… what this means is that ambulances displaying just a red Star of David won't be protected on international missions. It's an illuminating moment reminding us of the hate that endures for Jews and the Jewish State.”
Anyways f the red cross for failing to help jews, again
a free multiethnic Palestine requires you to stop murdering Jews and taking them hostage.
In case the Hamasniks reblog this post and continue to spout Nazi rhetoric and blood libel: I said this in the context of how stupid it is to believe that there WILL be a multiethnic Palestine, unless a drastic change of heart happens. Because "free Palestine" effectively means "free us from living beside Jews" and Jews happen to be an ethnicity from that region. Currently most governments in the Middle East are hellbent on religious authoritarianism and also murdering Jews. You should see the interviews with proud Palestinian parents talking about how because their son died murdering Jews (which Hamas has publicly said is their goal) and how he will go to the the highest heaven. The third line in the motto of the Houthis is "death to Jews". Now would also be a convenient time to remind you that Jews are not the only ethnic group being oppressed and colonized in the Middle East: please look to Druze, Kurds, how Persian culture was arabicized and Islamified even more, and others that I don't know about yet. Also, if Arabs are oppressed brown indigenous people, why does half of Africa speak Arabic??? That's not normal for African countries, there are like 294829+ languages per country and HALF OF THEM SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE?? this is what actual colonization looks like. Please I'm begging you, pick up a history book and come back.
Just saw someone calling Babka a Palestinian dessert. Pack it up, it’s over, when’s the next El Al direct to Tel Aviv, I can’t do it anymore
Goyim will shamelessly claim everything that’s ours and then accuse us of having no culture
"Jews are just European Colonizers" "This Jewish food that originated from diaspora communities in eastern Europe is Palestinian food, actually" make it make sense wtf
It makes perfect sense, really. Remember that, to the minds of the people making these claims, Jews invented nothing, own nothing, and can have nothing, and anything we make actually belongs to Everyone Else.
Our holy texts? Nope. That belongs to the Christians and the Muslims, who will claim that we "got it wrong" or "deliberately distorted" them.
Our honored dead? Nope. Those belong to the world.
Our intellectual inventions? Nope. Those don't belong to the Jews, not even in credit given!
Our history? Nope. Belongs to everyone else.
So when you come from a mindset of complete supercessionism--the belief that anything of, by, or for Jews actually doesn't belong to them, but instead belongs someone, anyone else--it's completely logical to default to giving anything Jewish to the Palestinians, because of course the Jews can't have created anything!
Our comedy/comic books/hollywood? Nope that’s just American culture.

gentile anti-theists being antisemitic because theyre projecting their misunderstandings of christianity onto judiasm, a religion they know literally nothing about, is perhaps the most annoying "progressive leftist says microaggresive thing but doesnt realize it" thing that i have to regularly deal with irl.
I’m ngl most of you are really antisemitic and you don’t realize it because you don’t know anything about Jews and the history of antisemitism. It’s so easy to say ha, that’s not me, when shit is so incredibly ingrained that you wouldn’t even notice if anything less than a sieg heiling-nazi hit you over the head.
@moonmoopboop Your tags are important.
I have seen more vitriolic antisemitism from left wingers than anywhere else. It gets worse every day. I don’t understand. I don’t understand.
Do you agree??? Is that what I’m supposed to take away from this???
I don't know what they think you will take away from it.
I just know that if I was a Jew, the vitriol from these left-wingers would make me feel that
no, not even the left-wing has my back against antisemitic harassment and persecution
yes, the left-wing, too, will go after me just because I'm a Jew
there are no safe spaces for Jews outside Israel
If I was a Jew, the left-wing vitriol would make Zionism seem like the only thing that could keep me safe.
Holy shit.
Okay, um.
So I’m crying in real life because you’re a goy and this is the first time I’ve heard a goy say that and YOU’RE RIGHT. You are absolutely correct. Israel isn’t where I want to go (if I could live anywhere on earth it’d actually be on a vineyard in western New York, not far from where I grew up, or possibly in my grandparents’ house in Pennsylvania), but it is my escape route. A lot of us feel that way. A LOT of us. I literally feel like you just pulled me inside out of a Phoenix summer and handed me a glass of cold water. Or gave me oxygen to breathe. Someone gets it. Someone gets it.
If you don’t want to listen to a Jew, listen to @kalessinsdaughter. Because yes. This is really it. This is why so many Jews support Israel when you wouldn’t expect it. It’s not dual loyalty or lack of respect for Palestinians. It’s fear. It’s 100% fear. It’s that we’ve been under the axe so many times we see when it’s going to fall.
