  • the Ghetto's destruction was done by an invading and occupying external force, not by the country's own army with the full support of the citizens.

    The destruction of Gaza and the genocide of the Palestinians are also committed by an invading and occupying external force, the colonial entity called Israel. Or are you suggesting that it is committed by Palestinians?

    There are clear parallelism between both, at least in my opinion.

    On this day in 1948, far-right Zionist paramilitaries indiscriminately slaughtered 107-254 villagers of Deir Yassin, orphaning at least 55 children (2 shown). Israel has kept documentation of the massacre sealed, citing security concerns.

  • they share the land

    No, Israel is a settler state, Palestinians are the people that have got most of theirs homes stolen and have their country occupied.

    they both believe they have a god-given right to?

    Palestine is not an ethnicity based in religion, by example George Habash, cofounder of the PFLP, was Christian.

    so what's your solution?

    The dissolution of the State of Israel by force to end the genocide. But the solution that matters is the one that Palestinians agree among themselves.

  • At my understanding, you don't address why your article is better than the one posted, and you only disqualify the medium where it's posted and I agree with you, but that is against their rule 6. YDI.

  • YDI, at least in the community of the lemmy.blajah.zone instance. In the other communities, a long ban could be excessive, but it's not easy to judge that the transphobic^1] post was done in good faith.

    ^1]: e.g., two people with the same physical traits, one a cis woman, the other a transgender woman, your reasoning will let the first one practice the sport and will forbid it to the second one.

  • Students have developed effective self-governance through student plenums or assemblies, where each student has the right to speak and all decisions are voted on. Ad hoc working groups are put in place to deal with various issues, from security and logistics to PR and legal questions.

    The university occupations function without a discernable leadership, alternating the representatives who speak to the public. They are adamant about their autonomy, vocally distancing themselves from all political parties and party politics, as well as from established civil society organisations and even informal groups.

    In doing so, they are creating a new political space and new means for the political to be enacted, breaking through the confines of ossified institutionalised politics and representative democracy.

    [...] students in Serbia are fully controlling the institutions they have occupied while enjoying an overwhelming support of the public: around 80 percent of Serbian citizens support their demands.

    All my support for the students and the Serbian working class, I was not aware of their conflict. The struggle reminds me of the Spanish 15M and, a bit, the US Occupy Wall Street. I hope they have better luck.

  • At least from 2014: the maidans revolution and the subsequent civil war between the new government and the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.

  • Opinion: I'm a IT worker, and trade unionist. USA interference in Ukraine's internal affairs has had terrible consequences.

  • Sorry for the poor quality of that response. But I did not have much time at the time, and it's hard for me to write in English (it's not my native language). I thought it was important to point out that in your post, well argued in general, you had introduced a statement without arguments that I don't think fits reality.[^1].

    Although this may be a licence to give more force to an argument, I find it especially alarming when this is aligned with the construction of a narrative to promote American imperialism —Yankee anti-imperialism as my subjective position— with an argument with a clearly racist bias —for example: removing the whiteness and Europeaness of ethnic Russians, inciting hatred of Asians, especially those of Han ethnicity and those of Chinese origin—. All of this promotes the fascist drift of the USA and its Western allies.

    In any case, and to clarify, I am not accusing you of doing so intentionally, but rather that these types of statements, which seem to me to be at the level of QAnon or flat-earthers, strengthen this fascist drift. BTW, I would have upvoted it without that phrase.

    [^1]: Elon Musk lives in the USA, is a member of the US government, has not disagreed (or I am not aware of it) with the tariffs on China or Russia, most of his businesses are based in the USA, he has used the Skyline satellites concurrently with the geostrategic interests of the USA —at least in Ukraine and Iran—,... He could be a detestable human being and an opportunist politician, but their interests seem aligned with the new techno-aristocrat group of the states-unitians oligarchy-only party, now controlled by their Republican faction.

  • Twitter only had value to musk because he wanted to use it as a disinformation tool to help SA/Russia/China.

  • Critical support to any gun(wo)men stopping genocide-gun(wo)men.

  • I have had the same cringe reaction to your original message that have got @[email protected]. There you speak about genetics, no ethnicity.

  • May be, but "...what the fuck is wrong with tankies" clearly is not being civil in a socialist space (also rule 6).

  • Call somebody tankie is against the comunity rules:

    RULES:

    1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

    2 No Trolling

    3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

    4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or ‘wasted votes on 3rd party’ is lessor evil rhetoric.

    5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

    6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, ‘paid by Putin,’ Tankie, etc.

  • Culture and language have been used for the oppression of national minorities and to settle colonial and imperialist projects. The English, as a lingua franca, is most related to those concepts that with socialist internatioalism. That's not the case with Esperanto.

    Spanish unions call for a General Strike in solidarity with Palestine on September 27

    Sorry, the article is in Spanish, I've not found an English article about this strike.

    From the article:

    Almost silently and like a living tide, the call for the Strike for Palestine on September 27 , called by the unions CGT and Solidaridad Obrera (SO), has been gaining strength. Having launched the official call towards the end of August, little by little other non-majority unions (COS, SAT Granada, Co.bas...), organizations, groups from various sectors of society have shown their intention to subscribe to it. Dozens of posters in various territories of the Spanish State are already circulating, referring not only to continuing the strike but also to making it a day of active struggle throughout the day.

    The General Strike has not the support of the two mayor Spanish unions (CCOO a

    Ghassan Kanafani Assassinated (1972)

    Sat Jul 08, 1972


    Ghassan Kanafani was a Palestinian author and leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), assassinated on this day in 1972 by Israeli forces in retaliation for the Lod Airport Massacre, claimed by the PLFP.

    In May, when the outbreak of hostilities in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War spilled over into the city of Acre, Kanafani and his family were forced into exile while he was still a child. After fleeing ~eleven miles north to Lebanon, they settled in Damascus, Syria as Palestinian refugees.

    In 1969, after establishing himself as an author and journalist, he joined The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and, resigned from his post as editor for the magazine Al-Anwar to edit the PFLP's weekly maga

    Victory of the camped students of the Barcelona University

    The University of Barcelona will break rellations with Israel.

    Source: https://t.me/comunitatpalestinacatalunya (catalan language).

    (Auto)ranslated announcement:

    _🚨 ATTENTION! *Tomorrow everyone in front of the University of Barcelona to celebrate the historic victory of the students.

    After 17 days of camping in Palestine at the University of Barcelona:

    The university has not only approved the severance of relations with Israel, but has committed itself and activated the necessary mechanisms to make it possible. After more than two weeks of daily assemblies, actions, meetings and communiqués, the students demonstrate that the action works and push forward for a free Palestine.

    After a historic victory today they have announced that tomorrow May 24 in the afternoon they will end the camp. The end of the camp implies a step forward in the struggle, to continue mobilizing our collective struggle in different spaces. We hope that yesterday will be one more victory of the
