Not if they exterminate enough Palestinians to make them a small enough minority first. That's how settler colonialism went in America, make the indigenous population small enough that giving them "equal rights" on paper is no longer a threat. So I honestly believe, if the current struggle for the end of the Zionist entity is not successful, the next generation of liberal Zionists might get to implement equal voting rights for the remaining Palestinians and have it still work out in the settlers' favor. That's the nature of the good cop/bad cop routine.
Bernie "the power" Sanders being asked about giving Palestinians equal rights and citizenship: "... that would be the end of the state of Israel, and I support Israel's right to exist"
I think the canonical way to make this meme would be to put racial caricatures on the left, then the soyjak reacting to them with the speech bubble saying "my food supply!!" then the chad wojak with hate symbol tattoo saying something else, like "I don't know how to square the contradictions here but maybe Epstein was just a lonely guy? Oh wait wrong culture war"
In the interest of keeping the memory of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising alive through our agitprop, I wanna raise a question that maybe some here might be qualified to answer:
When drawing the parallels between Al-Aqsa Flood and the Warsaw Guetto Uprising, there's a common Zionist retort that I've struggled to really give a strong response to. It goes, "You can't compare the October 7th attacks to the Warsaw Ghetto revolt because in the case of the Warsaw Guetto, the Jewish resistance only struck back against Nazis, not German civilians, while Hamas killed hundreds of civilians in October 7th"
Now, my kneejerk reaction is some combination of the following:
- Hamas planned the Al-Aqsa flood for at least several months, by themselves, and could not have known that they were going to come into contact with the Nova festival in their operation; more likely, they were just targeting the occupation base nearby.
- Settlers aren't non-combatants
- To this day we still don't know of the claimed 1200 dead in the Al-Aqsa Flood operation how many were killed by Hamas and how many were killed by Israel, how many were active IOF or civilians (keep in mind, Hamas successfully destroyed several military checkpoints on Oct 7th, and obviously had to break through the wall around Gaza to facilitate the operation, so it's certain that Israel took many military casualties).
But I feel like all these arguments a bit weak and lacking. Particularly, I don't recall ever seeing Palestinian intellectuals ever arguing these points in response to that kind of argument, and I generally like to follow in their leads. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I’m as upset as anyone about the state of the world, but I’m a functional adult capable of expressing myself without every second comment being “guillotines, Luigi, violence, violence , revolution!”.
I'm so mature and emotionally intelligent that when my news feed has been nothing but reports of hospitals, refugee camps, mosques, and apartment buildings being bombed for 20 months with no end in sight, I have no reaction. Those who react with vitriol and a productive sense of righteous indignation are not functional adults.
