For peace in the region the Zionist apartheid state of Israel must be dismantled, and peace must be built on justice: Equal rights, there is only 1 race: the race of human beings.

The era after 70 CE – 1800 is “full of Muslims and Jews supporting each other, particularly in the face of Christian oppression.”
“The story of Jewish people in Muslim lands by far is those Jewish communities fleeing persecution in Europe to come and live among Muslims which was a relatively pluralist society – the Islamic Empire spanned 500 years [in Spain it lasted almost 800 years] and clearly isn’t a monolith but the Jewish Golden Age literally happened in Muslim Spain.”

5. No state has a right to exist. Human beings have rights.

@PeterBeinart how he moved away from Zionism:

”You see this phrase again & again “does Israel have a right to exist?”

”The Israeli philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz said, absolutely not. No state has a right to exist. Human beings have rights.

”States are just instruments for the protection of human life and human flourishing and human dignity and their legitimacy is entirely based on how good a job they do in protecting the rights and dignity of life of the people."
_ZachFoster – x.com

In the words of @PeterBeinart who says most of the “organized American Jewish Community” has abandoned Judaism and instead practice a different religion. He says:

“[in Judaism] … human beings [all of them, Palestinians included] are created in the image of God & so nothing should be elevated above human beings who are considered to have of infinite value.”

4. Just as the colonial system of Algeria was dismantled, or of Rhodesia, or RSA.

3. Zionism Is a Response to Judaism

Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro
Zionism was not a response to anti-Semitism. It was a response to Judaism [and still is – see link 3]. It was a movement to ”normalize” the Jews. It was a social engineering project to take the Jews and change them from people like Rabbi Israel Meir Kagan and like Rabbi Soloveitchik, to people like Benjamin Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon, [this new definition of] ”normal” people, people who love strength, people who love gold medals, Nobel Prizes, [telling the] Jews, you have an opportunity, finally, to be ”normal”. The goal was transformation.
…
Transformation, this was the Zionist goal, to transform the Jews into ”normal” people. Zionism is not merely antithetical to Judaism. It was [and still is] the antidote to Judaism.
…
Most of all, ‘we want to be vital and alive without the yoke of Torah and religion,’ and ‘without the lies and beliefs of religion.’[see link 4.] Jacob Klatskin explained the goal of Zionism was to deny any conception of Jewish identity based on spiritual criteria. The goal of Zionism was to dismantle Judaism and to create a new Jewish people.

2. Do no wrong!

Do no wrong, don’t be injust, and you will not be wronged.
After 76 years of mostly dishing out injustice,
It’s high time to repent.
Your pride is your downfall,
Your pride is your enemy.
Your selflove is your delusion.
You’re imagining that you are better is your unmaking!

1. Zionism has to be abolished.

Shahoub Kavorkian
I see that the Zionist entity, is a settler colonial entity, started by displacing people, by causing major harms, by massacres that were documented by historians, by sociologists, by political scientists and international relations. I see Zionism that have used the law. and ruled by law and not the rule of law.

I’ve seen the Zionists causing major harm since 1948, since the Palestinian Nakba, in relation to what goes on. It’s not only my position.

The position of many scholars … see Zionism as a very racialized and racist ideology. That is about the life and livability of one group and the exclusion and the marginalization and death of the other group.

I think we can definitely live together without the Zionist ideology if we can talk more in terms and in concepts of justice, of equality, of freedom, fairness, of multiplicity of ideas, and not using one ideology to claim that we are here and the rest should be excluded.

General rule: Israelis are lying more than they breathe.

These are quotes from Scott Ritter.[^fn1]

Ladies and gentlemen, when America’s falling apart at the seams, homeless, you name it, we got problems. First order of business, I’m gonna pass money for Israel. What the hell?

And then October 7th came in. And this rage that’s been bottled up by people who felt so helpless because if …you felt a sense of hopelessness and helplessness as the Abrahams Accord took in that nobody was…

And so now what happens is nobody anticipated October 7th. So there wasn’t a front loading of the Israeli propaganda machine…
– What really happened on Oct 7, 2023 (B)

Israel was already in tatters because of Netanyahu’s evisceration of basic law and trying to take control of the judiciary or moving it as an independent agency. And so they’re already on the defensive. You have a whole bunch of people going, "Well, Israel is really a democracy." But even the people that advocated for democracy going, Benjamin Netanyahu’s sort of destroyed this Israel.

So the PR machine is falling in on itself, starting to argue against itself. There’s a debate against themselves, etc. Boom. They don’t have a plan. The whole world, it’s…

They basically, they lost the script. It got out of control. The whole world’s in the street and they don’t know what to do.

2.

And so this is where you find out the true nature of people. When you strip away the pretense, when you strip away the scripting, the acting, and it just comes down, they’re standing in front of you, a buck naked, and they have to make a decision, you find out who they are.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the reality of political Zionism, because that’s what modern Israel is. It’s not a democracy. It’s not a nation that wants to live in peace and harmony with its neighbors. It’s about the Israel that Benjamin Netanyahu has played a large role in creating.

The Israel that assassinated Yitzhak Rabin is the ugly face of political Zionism, where they treat Arabs as animals, they view everybody as subhuman, and they don’t care about the law. They will do everything necessary to achieve their objectives. This is the reality and it’s crude.

I mean, look at the UN ambassador, the Israeli UN ambassador, how he is disgracing the memory of the Holocaust by putting on that yellow star, by parading around, by doing this, it’s because they don’t know what to do.

They don’t have a plan, so the only thing they can do is be honest for the first time about who they truly are, and it’s pretty damn ugly.

Symbols or icons people believe in

(This is a transcipt of the video by Dr William Barylo regarding the situation in Palestine which is still ongoing and how to communicate with Pro-Israelis.)

1.

Dr William Barylo:^[1]
People won’t respond to facts because any kind of dehumanization process relies on symbols. You may have seen or tried to reason with people and you will realize that those who support Israel’s current policies, no matter if there’s 10, 100, 1,000, 1 million civilians killed, head workers, press workers killed, they won’t react to it. It doesn’t mean anything to them and the reason for that is that because the current discourse relies on symbolism, the power of symbols, the thing that represents something.

Let me illustrate.
For example, you probably know that Israel has been branding itself as an example of democracy, you know the only democracy in the Middle East, the beacon of civilization, the embodiment of good.

So these are the symbols we’re talking about and people believe in and anything that stands against these ideas would be completely irrelevant and therefore evil could be justified. Kids, they’re just human shields, press workers, collateral damage, head workers, well they’re just an annoyance. These people are not human, they represent something and this occurrence they represent evil, we represent good. So this is essentialization when we generalize something like that.

2.

So how do you deal with people who only think in terms of symbols? Drawing their attention on anything external to that won’t work.

If you want to catch their attention you need to draw the attention on these symbols. Why are these symbols false ideas that actually work against the people they’re supposed to serve?

In another way it’s about smashing the idols. So to smash idols it means using their own vocabulary to show their own incoherences.

For example,

– What beacon of civilization violates the Geneva Convention?

– Does the right to defend themselves mean employing terrorist tactics?

– Why can’t the most advanced army in the region afford surgical hits?

– Israel brands itself as being the Jewish state. But again, what Jewish state created for the safety of Jewish people sacrifices their own hostages?

– What Jewish state silences the voices of its own Jewish citizens who advocate for peace? And you’ve seen videos of Orthodox Jews being attacked on the street by the police.

– What Jewish state created to keep traditions alive, erases its own natural and cultural and historical heritage? You know the churches being bombed, which are very very old, or plantations of olive trees, why are they being erased if they claim to care about the tradition and the history? They also play in the fact of being the state as a safe haven for Holocaust survivors. But ask:

– What kind of safe haven for Holocaust survivors greets these survivors and their families so badly? I’ve got a professor from University of Tel Aviv when I was in my master’s. He came to France giving three lectures on the situation and he told us about how Holocaust survivors families are treated in the settlements. It’s just horrible. The insults, I won’t repeat them on screen, and they’re thrown garbage out. It’s just horrible.

– Where is democracy when their own citizens are not treated in a democratic way?

– Where is civilization where Holocaust survivors are insulted and thrown garbage at?

– How come this independent democracy is de facto a US dependency who relies heavily on US funding?

3.

It is a tale old as history. People don’t like realizing that the ideas that were sold are in fact lies. And the people at the head of the state selling these ideas have actually been covering their own selfish endeavors under the cover of democracy, civilization and good at the detriment of their own citizens.

People believe it’s about defending the Jewish state Holocaust survivors while in fact it is a simple matter of geo-strategical and political interest. Netanyahu has an election coming very very soon and he knows that he needs to act on it and do something to save his seat.

And this philosophy works with any kind of political movements.

If for example the far right, people who are on the far right, you can tell them anything you like about migrants, refugees groaning in the sea and so on and so on or being you know nice people, qualified people. They won’t respond to that. It won’t enter their mind because what they have in their mind is the symbols that we are the nation, the people, the culture, the heritage, the traditions.

So if you want people to respond you need to play on the same field. Anything external is just outside of what we call their cognitive universe.

It’s outside of what they can think on a daily basis. But if you say yeah nation, country, government, corrupt, elites, yeah they will start clicking and then maybe you can bring them on the turn.

But again you know everyone’s different.

So that was a very quick opinion from the top of my mind. I don’t know if it’s gonna be useful but again thanks…
