If you wish to have some understanding of what is happening and how the 99 percent are suffering in Gaza, Israel, Sudan, Ukraine...who should you call?
Dr Kate Davison? '..a self-described 'queer historian of sexuality, psy-sciences & Cold War', who is also a lecturer in history at Edinburgh, not only tweeted that 'Palestine & trans human rights are the litmus test and most of you are failing half of it', but also expressed support for a statement by faculty members at Berzeit University — an institution in the West Bank — which celebrated the Hamas attacks as 'guerilla war tactics' by 'resistance fighters'.
Dr Sarah Liu? '.. a senior lecturer in gender and politics, also at Edinburgh, liked a tweet on October 7 that asked: 'Did some people just think Palestine had to like file paperwork or something to be freed [?] this is what oppressed fighting the oppressor looks like.'
Such comments make the Daily Wail seem like the voice of reason:
Black Rose Anarchist Federation? 'The road ahead requires sustained organization and effort, and will not be easy. Nevertheless, this is a moment in history where our action or inaction will be keenly remembered and judged. It is imperative that we seize this moment—against genocide for all and forever, for the end of Israeli settler colonialism, and for a free Palestine.
Stop the genocide!
Down with imperialism and settler colonialism from Palestine to the Americas!
Long live internationalist solidarity!
Long live Palestine!'
Anarchists calling for a 'free' Palestine! Utterly clueless!
'We are the only ones willing to defy the repressive attacks of the authorities and their media mouthpieces, and raise a revolutionary perspective for the people of Palestine. That is why we say: Intifada until victory!'
ISRAEL KILLS GAZA CHILDREN
#Free_Palestine ?
But ALL LIVES MATTER and as Marxist-Lennonists amongst us say:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Selena Gomez and/or Angelina Jolie?
They, unlike many others, have seen beyond the false dichotomy of either Israel or Palestine and been castigated for doing so:
On her Instagram Story, Gomez shared her thoughts about the Israel-Hamas conflict, a conflict that has led to the deaths of thousands since its start a few weeks ago. Gomez penned, "I've been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, and terror that's going on in the world. People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific."
Selena Gomez Under Attack By Fans For ‘Sickening’ Statement On Israel-Hamas War.
Angelina Jolie Says Hamas Terrorist Attacks in Israel ‘Cannot Justify the Innocent Lives Lost’ in Gaza. “Palestinian and Israeli lives — and the lives of all people globally — matter equally,” the Oscar winner writes on Instagram:
NB:
But the horrors of the siege of Gaza and ongoing conflicts elsewhere pale compared to the war that is waged through poverty: 9 million die every year or 25000/day from unnecessary starvation while food rots or is destroyed.
