As Israelis, our identity is tied to the Zionist story. For me, it was even more so because my father was a General and my grandfather a signer of the Declaration of independence. I wasn’t told anything outside of the realm of Zionist propaganda. I believed all of it. I didn’t learn about Zionism in Israel in a college course or a textbook in high school. I grew up with it. If I can stand up today and call for justice for Palestinians, and call to boycott Israel, then everybody can do it.

On March 22nd, this journalist detailed the findings of a UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on “Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023.” That investigation focused primarily on the hideous, industrial scale rape and sexual abuse of male and female Palestinian detainees in Zionist Occupation Force prisons, a phenomenon so pervasive it can only be dedicated, determined policy, signed off upon and directed by the highest levels of the Israeli government.

Reinforcing that horrifying conclusion, buried within the Commission’s report are bombshell passages unequivocally charging the Zionist entity with deliberately committing “genocidal acts” in Gaza, consciously and intentionally “calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians as a group.” The details provided are irresistibly persuasive, and point to Israel being in flagrant breach of both the Rome Statute, and Genocide Convention. In a truly just world, the mainstream media’s mass omertà on this landmark ruling would in itself be a criminal act.

successfully shot down at least seven multi-million-dollar American drones

The US has eager tax payers and a large tax base, they can afford to lose millions more.

The US is an empire unless indigenous peoples don’t count

Not as frequent as you claim. Many empires conquered foreign lands without genocide.

It seems so. “Art of the Deal”.

As if the US has any right, to decide who gets to have nuclear weapons.

Clang is a better C++ compiler than msvc, it generates faster binaries and can compile complex code that msvc errs on at least in my experience YMMV.

People in the Middle East aren’t generic and interchangeable. Jews from India or Iraq or Yemen or Ethiopia or Iran or Morocco or Tunisia are still foreign invaders and not indigenous to Palestine. Netanyahu is still European as are the majority of political leaders and every prime minister Israel had so far. The culture that dominated and still dominates Israel’s political and social life is a European culture that is foreign to Palestine and the region.

Hamas are at least indigenous and not from Poland

Edit: Jews from Iran or India or wherever are still not indigenous to Palestine.

Too many falsehoods and lies to warrant a response. But it is worth mentioning that Hamas accepts the 1967 borders and a 2-state solution while Likud doesn’t. Arab countries have been trying to make peace with Israel based on the same premise but Israel -Likud and right wing parties particularly- reject any Palestinian statehood.

Your comment is hypocritical coming from the continent that gave us colonialism, ethnic cleansing and two world wars. Our region has attracted invaders throughout history from the Greeks and Romans of antiquity to the Mongols and Crusaders of the medieval era to modern European and US colonialism and imperialism due to its location, and nothing inherently wrong with us.

It gets worse. They hired hitmen to kill trade union leaders in Colombia.

This is the problem with racist people. They honestly believe their racism is factual and scientific. This trade war is deeply rooted in racism. Trump genuinely believes that people of European descent are economically, intellectually and technologically superior to Chinese people, and the trade war was meant to take away from the Chinese whatever unfair advantage they deceptively acquired by abusing the good nature of the USA.

It was a similar story when Biden put restrictions on China thinking that it will halt their semiconductor industry and stop them from producing semiconductors past 14nm feature size. American Exceptionalism is one hell of a drug.
