CONTENT WARNING (also, link is to a reddit thread, the image should come up blurred when the link is clicked): here is a very graphic pic that has been shared.

The image shows a male body with a rope tied around his neck and a blindfold, ashy body with blood stained all over him. It is said that the body was handed over by the Israeli army to the Red Cross Committee in the Gaza Strip.

The day after the flotilla was captured, brave Israeli refuseniks tried to break the blockade on foot and even make it a few meters in.

If Nero won the Olympics why can’t Trump win the Nobels?

Excellent opportunity to prove the superiority of our localized moderation model!

This is so self defeating… Palestine Action should have never been declared a “terrorist organization” in the same category as Al Qaeda and Daesh. People see right through that and it causes a backlash. Nd the UK government doubling down on the backlash creates even more backlash. I mean anyone can see that at this point that the government has lost the political battle on this one and is just chugging through due to the sunk cost fallacy. This is only paving the way for the Right to do a comeback. Fucking centrist liberals man, god damn.

If I’m not mistaken, the guy is a Turkish journalist. I’m not Turkish, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they use something that in English would be translated as “little kid” to mean basically any young person, including young adults. We do this too in Greek, and we’re related enough culturally. In that case it’s not infantilisation, it’s cherishing of youth.

They have lost the right to an exclusive ethnostate, just like the Afrikaners lost theirs. They should have every right to leave peacefully in a post apartheid democratic country with the same rights as their Palestinian fellow citizens.

Remember when Elon Musk did a nazi salute on the world stage for all to see? Remember how we were trying to rationalize what the hell he was thinking? The simplest answer is that nazis at some point just can’t help themselves and they end up saluting because they love doing it, they just need to show people who they are.

Same logic I think applies here. Yes it is self-defeating, yes, it is stupid, and yes, it is gratuitous and dangerous. But these people working Ben Gvir’s prisons? This is who they are. It’s horrifically simple. The people working the Israeli prison system are low level functionaries of apartheid. These are not people who think in terms of strategy etc. If they had the capacity to think like that they wouldn’t be there. It’s as simple as that.

This is either brilliant or incredibly dangerous. I’m not sure which one.

We can’t just ban US content you know.

At gunpoint. At killing fields. By a racist bunch of gangsters. During a fucking genocide.

Still the numbers are irrelevant. The point of the flotilla is to challenge the illegal and immoral blockade of Gaza by the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Even if they were carrying a single can of baby formula, the flotilla would still be immensely meaningful.

Wasn’t this guy raptured yesterday? Hm, maybe he’s not righteous enough.

Internationally wanted war criminal said what?

“Our country suffers damage to its own soul when this criticism becomes a pretext for hatred of Jews, or if it even leads to the demand that Germany should turn its back on Israel.”

That. That motherfucker right there. That. That is the fucking problem with you fucking hypocritical motherfuckers and your fucked up “staatsraison”. You equate “hatred of jews” with “the demand that Germany should turn its back on Israel”. That right there. How far can Israel go before you turn your back on them? Like is there a number of dead civilians? You won’t turn your back on Israel no matter what the fuck they do? Do you not see that’s enabling? Do you not see that it makes you complicit in every fucking crime they do? Like is there no end to the depravity you will stomach, so long as it is consistent with your “staatsraison”? If “your country’s soul” cannot hold the humanity of Palestinians as equal to the humanity of Israelis, then fuck your country’s precious little soul. You feel guilty about the Holocaust? Go fucking wallow in it and shut the fuck up instead of raising a finger to chastise those of us who when they say NEVER THE FUCK AGAIN, they mean it FOR EVERYHONE.

This is going to lead to an escalation of political violence.

If something as nebulous as antifa is “terrorist”, then it’s easy for anyone to be classified as a terrorist. See also what is going on in the UK with Palestine Action. But instead of embarrassed unarmed bobbies doing the arresting, in the US it will be masked, unidentified goons, mirroring ICE practices. So that lowers the threshold to drop into a “homo sacer” category that can be basically shot on sight. Which means, more people will have nothing to lose. Which means more political violence.

Laughs nervously in Canadian.

Not just “Israel” in general, we are not talking about some random researcher studying frogs or something. The Israeli MINISTRY OF DEFENCE.

Spanish prime minister calls for Israel to be banned from sports events after chaos at cycling race

That is the correct response.

At this point, you don’t even need to be pro-Palestine to be against the Gaza genocide. You just need to be against, you know, genocides. The bar is in the basement, even centrist Israeli liberal zionists are able to pass it. But somehow this is now “radical” politics.
