As long as one person lives in bondage, all people live in bondage.
Every human being has a right to freedom and a right to a homeland.
T... #IsraeliCrimes#FreePalestine#ZionismIsRacism
How can a human being in 2022 still accept, tolerate or even actively defend and support colonialism, imperialism, wars and war crimes such as bombs on civilians, land theft, expulsion, occupation, exploitation by governments in the service of the greed of a few?
How can an "enlightened" and "informed" person of 2022 convince himself that he belongs to the "good guys" when he supports the crimes of the Zionists in Palestine/Israel, the US/NATO in Ukraine (with Nazi mercenaries), in Syria (with terrorist mercenaries) or in Yemen?
Who still believes the lies and propaganda of the Israeli government, the Zionists and their accomplices, that mass murder of children and the continued theft of land, the expulsion and oppression of people ... #IsraeliCrimes#FreePalestine#ZionismIsRacism
Do not let yourselves be persuaded that people of different religions, nations and origins are enemies! That there are chosen ones who have the right to rule over others, to steal their land, to expel them or even to murder them! #IsraeliCrimes#FreePalestine#ZionismIsRacism
The Zionists and Israel are not the same as all Jews, Judaism and all Israelis. Not all Israelis are Jews and Zionists. And certainly not all Jews are Zionists. Many, possibly even the majority of Jews are against the crimes of the Israeli government. #IsraeliCrimes
In 2021 an Israeli MK admits it. Btw, after looking at how many Palestinians had been expelled in 48, Ben Gurion called it a “double miracle - more land, less Arabs”. #Nakba#IsraeliCrimes#FreePalestine#ZionismIsRacism
In great simplification, according to the Transcend method of @JohanGaltung see thread, there are two parties to the conflict in the Palestine/Israel (Middle East) conflict.
What do the parties to the conflict want? What are their goals?
"Israeli:
"We are a nation with the same right as any other to have our own state, Israel - and on our historic land - where Jews are safe; a state where all Jews can return and which has its capital in Jerusalem. A democracy in which human rights are respected."
Palestinians:
We are a nation with the same right as others to have our own state, Palestine - on our historic land - where Palestinians are safe, a state to which they can return and which has its capital in East Jerusalem. A democracy in which human rights are respected."
According to @JohanGaltung
"For the case of "Two Nations, One Territory" there are five well known solutions" according to the Transcend method of @JohanGaltung
[1] Unilateral I: One state, only Israel. The Palestinians must emigrate.
[2] Unilateral II: One state, only Palestine, the Israelis must leave the country again.
[3] Negative Transcendence: A third party rules (the Ottoman Empire, England, the UN).
[4] Bilateral compromise: Two-state solution, Israel and Palestine (Gaza + West Bank).
[5] Positive transcendence: Two nations symmetrically form one state, viz.
- as a federation (model: Switzerland)
- as a unitary state (model?)
"Here is a rule of thumb: if the achievement of a goal violates the fulfilment of basic human needs and human rights, then it is illegitimate." @JohanGaltung
Criticism of right-wing Zionism and right-wing Israeli governments and their crimes (colonialism, imperialism, land theft, expulsion, apartheid, war crimes, illegal settlements, war propaganda) is not antisemitism.

"Both my parents were in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and i's precisely because of the lessons they taught me that I will not be silent when Israel commits its crimes against the Palestinians"
In a video webinar, dismissed professor David Miller says that "Zionism is a form of racism and must be dismantled"
Describing Germany's pro-Zionist stance, former professor at Bristol University David Miller said during a recent interview that it's "unthinkable" for the foreign policy establishment of Germany to take any position against the interests of Israel. via @ChristineJameis
"Germany is the only place in the world outside Palestine where it is effectively illegal to wave a Palestinian flag as the Berlin police earlier this year banned all pro-Palestine demonstrations." @ChristineJameis
The interpretation of the Shoah
by Thierry Meyssan
At the end of the Second World War, the Nazis massacred European Jews and Gypsies. voltairenet.org/article209133.…
Today’s interpretation of one of these genocides is based on a lack of knowledge of the human condition and carries with it many passions, which, far from avoiding its repetition, on the contrary favour it.
I am tired of looking at the snake like a scared rabbit. It's time to take action and actively pursue our own goals instead of just reacting to the actions of the ruling class.
We all have a responsibility for ourselves, for all our fellow human beings, especially our children and young people, and beyond that for our future generations and all life on earth.
And every moment that the rule of the huge fortunes continues and we do not stop them, thousands die from their criminal greed, power and doing, and billions are further robbed of their future.
All people have a right to exist, regardless of origin, nation or religion. All of them!
"Both Israelis & Palestinians need a home and peace".
David Grossman 2015 - strong statement.
Everything else is fascism (capitalism, colonialism, racism, Zionism).
States, the narratives of "chosen" nations, master and sub-humans, super-humans and normal humans and civilised and uncivilised humans were invented to justify wars, imperialism, colonialism and racism.
Why are the Palestinians not allowed to live in their land, peacefully with their fellow Israelis? What justifies the expulsion of Palestinians from their land, from their homes? Don't all people, without exception, have the same rights?
Thesis
The highest goal of all human beings, as far as they have not been damaged in soul and spirit, is a life in peace, in community and in love.
In contrast, there are numerous conflicts in all areas ...
According to @JohanGaltung "conflicts do not lie on a higher or lower level. All conflicts "are born free and equal in dignity and rights". They have the right to be dealt with, through "transcendence (transgression) & transformation" so that the parties can live with it.
Geopolitical conflicts [like the US/NATO Ukraine proxy war with Russia] are not on a "higher plane" just because statesmen and diplomats occupy a higher social position."

A worldwide collective human, non-violent evolution and revolution of revolution towards a non-violent & non-rule, cooperative society of the greatest possible freedom, participation, development and diversity for all people without exception is humanly possible.
Non-violent means preventing, stopping, resisting and overcoming injustice & at the same time not fighting the one who does it as a human being, seeing him as an enemy, even dehumanising & killing the other, but (always trying) to win him.
In truth, the US government is
exceedingly reluctant to support Nazis (like ISIS/Al Qaeda terrorists before them)
the US government prefers to
best equip Nazis and terrorists to commit suicide
The truth is that the US government and its NATO vassals are very
are extremely reluctant to kill children (in the Donbass, Iraq or Syria)
they prefer to kill
to kill their fathers and mothers
Eine weltweite kollektive menschliche, gewaltfreie Evolution und Revolution der Revolution hin zu einer gewalt- &herrschaftsfreien, kooperativen Gesellschaft der größtmöglichen Freiheit, Teilhabe, Entfaltungsmögliche und Vielfalt für ausnahmslos alle Menschen ist menschenmöglich.
Die Menschen bestimmen ihr Schicksal, ihre Geschichte, ihre Gesellschaftsordnung, ihre Gegenwart und ihre Zukunft selber im großen Rahmen der Natur, der physikalischen Gesetze und der Entwicklung des Kosmos.
Die Menschen sind ein Teil der Natur. "Unter den Lebewesen besitzt der Mensch durch seinen Verstand eine Sonderstellung. Eine Definition des Menschen ist die 'sich ihrer selbst bewusst gewordene Natur'." Abdullah Öcalan zitiert Murray Bookchin: "nature rendered self-conscious"
