@kravietz I shan’t refrain, no. They’re entirely relevant. You’re free to not look but other followers will appreciate them as they provide meaningful information.

@kravietz again, Israel isn’t under existential threat from Hamas’ fireworks. Occupation confers duties and responsibilities onto the occupiers with regards to an occupied people: Israel fails to meet its legal obligations. Why?

@kravietzii it’s been answered and it provides no insight into an illegal and racist colonial occupation from 48-67 nor beyond 67 (post ‘formal annexation): nothing of significance to Palestinians occurred in 1967 that changed their status as occupied people. You’ll have to tell us what you’re insinuating that justifies eastern European colonialist adventures - unless Polish nationality is the unspoken bias that’s causing this cognitive dissonance here. International law is key here.

@kravietz yes? As in yes you’re prepared to whitewash 19 years of brutal occupation between 48-68 with 700,000 displaced native Palestinian inhabitants!? What moral framework permits such a thing? It’s not one grounded in international law, humanitarian or otherwise, that’s for sure. Nothing of significance to 1948-1966 occurred in 1967 that should justify a prior illegal occupation - time travel isn’t a thing, as you’re aware. So explain, with recourse to international law, your thoughts...

@kravietz the Palestinian civilian population, already under an illegal occupation since 1948, did precisely nothing to merit their situation, legally, morally or ethically.You’re continuing to whitewash 19 years of brutal military occupation from 48 to 67. Why is that? The right to defend ones-self, with violence if necessary, is enshrined in international law for good reason: invading European colonialists don’t stop stealing land just because they’re asked. 1948-67, zionism killed thousands.

@kravietz the land was occupied, illegally, in 1948 until 1967 with martial law in place, discriminatory duel legal systems for non-Jews, open air prisons - all well documented. It was still occupied after 1967. Nothing changed except the formal status of the post 67 occupation. You’re deflecting. No, you’re minimising. Why is that? Why does a civilian population under occupation from 48 to 67 not warrant your concern?

@kravietz @kravietz yes, Israel’s 1948 Genocide of Palestine, the Nakba, where 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced - documented by many Israeli and Palestinian historians. And before than the British role in promising ‘Jews a Homeland’ (not a state, let’s be quite clear and historically accurate) in the 1920s . You are aware of these events, aren’t you?

@kravietz Hamas have nothing to do with the occupied West Bank nor occupied Jerusalem, as you well know. Illegally occupied, under international law, for 72 years now, long before Hamas were a thing. Again, as you well know.

Point of observation: Ignorance of Israel’s role in creating Hamas seems to be a common occurrence with Zionists, why is that? 🤔

@kravietz which political system are you referring to, Israel?? Jews aren’t Israelis and Israelis aren’t jews: they’re not synonyms. The US need only remove funding until Israel compiles with international law.

And criminal prosecutions in a domain entirely outside the remit of international justice are unlikely to impact someone’s lifetime spent advocating consistently for a Just and Fair resolution to conflict, the only way to lasting peace. Unless you have evidence to the contrary?

@kravietz it’s been view held by human rights advocates and progressives for many years now ‘A Modest Proposal’ sums it up quite succinctly. I’d be extremely surprised if you weren’t aware of it. it doesn’t propose killing or expelling anyone: no ones life is in danger. It’s the only option that is both Just and Fair. Every other alternative sanction breaches of international law on a massive. Zionists pretend otherwise but intellectual honesty requires you to look beyond tribal allegiances.

@kravietz again, Apartheid South Africa didn’t disappear. Don’t be so ahistorical with your ‘critique’. No ones has proposed extermination: the move to a democratic secular state is as far removed from Genocide as one could invent. That’s the point: stop inventing! Zionism is racism.

@kravietz good translations often are aware of context too, so literal takes a back seat to mood or cultural localisation:)

@kravietz Nick Cohen is problematic on many levels, not least of all his love of Zionism and being an apologist for Israeli Apartheid. I’d avoid this man, and I do.

@kravietz I’m tired of privately owned social media. Are they still a thing?

Are you one of those people only using Facebook because it's where people invite you to events? Well, now's the perfect time to #DeleteFacebook.
