5·18 days agoReminds me of this thread
https://x.com/Tracking_Power/status/1950804865967378472
we need a public inquiry into Jewish Schools and their grooming of Jewish kids into support for the genocidal ideology of Zionism. But it’s not only schools, even nurseries are involved, run by genocidal cults like Chabad and other Hasidic/Haredi sects. Then there are all the Torah classes, Kollel, Yeshivot etc.
Then there’s the youth movements, and ‘young adult’ movements many of which have branches in the UK
(Youth Movements Hashomer Hatzair | Hanoar Hatzioni | Tzameret | Hamahanot Ho’olim | Haihud Hahaklai | Ariel | Betar | National Youth/Noar Leumi | The General Federation Of Working And Studying Youth/HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed(NOAL) | Tzofim | World Bnei Akiva | Maccabi Hatzair | Ezra | Habonim Dror | Netzer Olami: Young Adult Movements PZC | Magshimei Tora VeAvode | Bana | Tagar | Tamar | Maccabi | Atid | Marom | Magshimei Herut )
“Houthi”
“May constitute a war crime”
Death to Qatar too
3·23 days agoI do believe that uniting the oppressed in society is ultimately the best revolutionary strategy.
I agree completely. If Zionism emerges victorious from this war then we are all doomed. I just wish the rest of the world understood this as well.
I understand what you are saying. And I agree that women are systematically deprived and oppressed and exploited. I just dont see feminism or at least western feminism as the route to achieve that.
I still am deeply suspicious of feminist figures generally as Angela Davis campaigned for Biden and Holocaust Harris . I have not heard of all the ones you mentioned though. So I wont say all of them are bad. I just remain suspicious.
I absolutely do not identify as anti-feminist as the people who staunchly identify this way are generally insufferable. I just am ambivalent about the label. Each society on earth will resolve secondary and tertiary contradictions but that is always delayed by the genocidal machine of imperialism and all its tentacles.
For instance, I have rarely ever seen self-described feminists recognize the power and importance of hijab and instead often attack it. But the hijab can and actually is an empowering thing for many women and is a weapon against imperialism as well. How can we expect social contradictions of gender to be resolved when entire societies are subjected to genocidal attacks?

The manipulation of human rights in Western media has long been used to push for an agenda of regime change. The demonization of Iran is built on narratives of human rights violations. Its purpose is to subdue an autonomous Muslim state that speaks for the historical rights of Arabs in Palestine. Given the reach of “Israel” at the behest of imperialism and its involvement in fomenting wars across the globe, the Palestinian issue is an essential concern for the emancipation of humanity. The strength of Iran in opposing the US is the strength of the working classes in the region and throughout the world.
In this unambiguous struggle, siding with the liberalism of the Western world is siding with the enemies of the global working class. Moreover, in this lopsided context in which the power of the US and its allies is overwhelming, it is not possible to speak of the rights of women in Iran without referring these rights to their global class context. Class as I said above is after all transnational, and it is visible in the dominant ideas that govern the channeling of resources. Peoples are poor because they internalize the US’s faux science of markets, development and social rights. In fact, these dominant ideas of the West have not only depleted humans, but they also depleted the planet.
Rights cannot be divided like cakes and the totality of rights of the working class to its resources is the context to which any partial truth must be “referred back to” before arriving at a more concrete understanding of truth. Can any rights for any gender or any people be gained when US banks absorb much of the wealth of the world leaving many developing countries without electricity and potable water? The answer is clearly no.

I am confused how this is controversial.
Comrade @[email protected] is this just upsetting the federated liberals or have I said something harmful?
My politics are death to america and death to israel. Free Palestine and free the planet from US empire and centuries of European colonial domination.
Feminists have not done much materially on that front lets be honest.
Throwback to big name feminist Judith Butler on October 13 2023:

In fact, I do condemn without qualification the violence committed by Hamas. This was a terrifying and revolting massacre. That was my primary reaction, and it endures.
…
There are those who do use the history of Israeli violence in the region to exonerate Hamas, but they use a corrupt form of moral reasoning to accomplish that goal. Let’s be clear, Israeli violence against Palestinians is overwhelming: relentless bombing, the killing of people of every age in their homes and on the streets, torture in their prisons, techniques of starvation in Gaza and the dispossession of homes. And this violence, in its many forms, is waged against a people who are subject to apartheid rules, colonial rule and statelessness. When, however, the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee issues a statement claiming that ‘the apartheid regime is the only one to blame’ for the deadly attacks by Hamas on Israeli targets, it makes an error. It is wrong to apportion responsibility in that way, and nothing should exonerate Hamas from responsibility for the hideous killings they have perpetrated.
Judith was not the only big name feminist to hold such views following the magnificent al Aqsa Flood Operation.
I would say that the web of NED/USAID NGO’s that represent the face of feminism today has been a very effective tool of empire. I dont want women CEOs and women drone pilots and women iof soldiers and women politicians in puppet governments. I am a woman who wants the end of colonial occupation and superexploitation.
Supporting the state of “israel” with financial or other material means.
Benjamin Netanyahu and israeli officials are your sources.
"I support Palestine but I spread zionist lies about the people fighting and dying to defend it. Give me a gold star 🌟 "
It was Israel itself which put Hamas in Gaza.
Wrong. Educate yourself.
I’m familiar with Sykes Picot and the history of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoomans. I’m not sure its totally fair to characterize Hussein as a British agent but I’m open to more evidence on the matter.
If we are being honest, Antoun Saadeh had the most realistic analysis of nationhood in the region of “the Levant”: everyone is Syrians basically and has been Syrians for thousands of years. These statelets are just parts of bilad al Sham.
However, I’m pretty sure that after the last century of sectarianism and Sykes Picot, that return is basically impossible now and I know for a fact that many people in “Natural Syria” (or Greater Syria) categorically reject the concept.
At this point in time Palestine is the central struggle for all Syrians, Arabs, Muslims, and justice-loving people on earth. And the flag is a universally recognized symbol for that struggle. So I’m going to respect the flag.
I always heard that Sharif Hussein designed the Palestinian flag.
Do you have source for this?
There is an interesting relevant history. Regarding the UN resolution 678 which justified the imperialist destruction and genocide of Iraq in the 90’s, the US pressured all members on the security council to support it. Even non-permanent members.
With America’s place in the world, not to mention Mr. Bush’s political future, riding on the outcome of the gulf crisis, the Administration never hesitated to let other nations know that their support for this resolution was vital to Washington, which would remember its friends, and its foes. Minutes after the Yemeni elegate joined the Cubans in voting against the resolution at the Security Council on Thursday, a senior American diplomat was instructed to tell him: “That was the most expensive no vote you ever cast” – meaning it would result in an end to America’s more than $70 million in foreign aid to Yemen.
Thankfully the US has much less leverage against Russia and China today compared to 35 years ago but I think its readily apparent that the UN “peacekeepers” are generally just used as cudgels on behalf of US-led NATO domination. Examples from Haiti to Lebanon to Mali
I would much prefer a UN that is utterly powerless than one that is used to justify genocidal sanctions on Iraq or Iran for instance.
Thanks for the sources, I’ve learned a lot more new material from this than I care to admit
Always glad to share when I have time. We are all always learning new things together 🫡
Kind of weird thing to say. Many people will die if a war breaks out
