Why do Zionists hate and target Black-Palestinian solidarity?

A thread 🧵

The reason why Zionists consider intersectional solidarity dangerous and why they tend to attack viciously those who represent it is because it dispels fragmenting propaganda and empowers... 1/
2/ Palestinians and pro-Palestinian forces to build a wider front to challenge Zionism and the hegemonic, white supremacist powers which support it. It is able to mobilise an increasing number of people under the anti-Zionism banner who are unified in their call for...
3/ justice in Palestine. To maintain this united front, moving forward, it is important to retain clarity of vision and defy the pernicious conflation of Zionism and Judaism or anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.
4/ As Omar Barghouti, a founding committee member of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and cofounder of @BDSmovement, once wrote: “In response to this fatal alliance of savage capitalism in the West with Israeli racism, exclusion and...
5/ colonial subjugation, the global movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel presents not only a progressive, anti-racist, sophisticated, sustainable, moral and effective form of civil non-violent resistance,
6/ but also a real chance of becoming the political catalyst and moral anchor for a strengthened, reinvigorated international social movement capable of reaffirming the rights of all humans to freedom, equality and dignity and the right of nations to self determination.”

Collective Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – Jewish People, Apartheid and Oppression.

A thread 🧵

Fear and anxiety are emotions that have evolved to ensure the survival and procreation of many species of animals.

Humans have been able to manipulate fears and anxieties... 1/
2/ as weapons of population control that involve and promote violence and apartheid. These societal conditions are familiar to many historically and presently oppressed groups, including Jewish and Palestinian, respectively.
3/ In order to understand how fear and anxiety are manipulated to sustain oppression, it is useful to review their neuroscientific underpinnings and associated pathologies.

Jesus was a dark-skinned Palestinian.

On Christianity and Palestine.

A thread 🧵

1/ The occupation of Palestine is often erroneously portrayed as a conflict between the Jewish and Muslim faiths. This narrative obscures the fact that Zionism is a settler-colonialist movement..
2/ inspired by 19th century European anti-Semitism, which was shunned by many Jews in the past and continues to be shunned today. What’s more, instead of addressing the ongoing issues of inequality, injustice and apartheid within a rational,
3/ political realm (thus making these issues resolvable), it resorts to an ahistorical portrayal of an age-old and violent, irrational conflict.

With the death of "liberal" Zionism, it is important to examine what it's been and the state of the Israeli "left".

A thread 🧵

Liberal Zionism promotes the notion of a left-to-right spectrum within Israel. Yet the differences between the extremes are merely tactical and 1/
2/ cosmetic, maintaining an illusion of a humane society with a healthy democratic discourse. "Left-wing” and “Liberal” Zionist parties engage in civil liberties for members of the privileged class yet dare not address the nature of Zionism, whose adherents
3/ Indigenous Palestinians for over seven decades. For liberal Zionists, without LGBTQ rights and buses on Saturday, Israel would simply become another Middle Eastern theocracy in which women are rendered inferior and prayer is mandatory in schools.

On white supremacy and its manifestation as the genocidal Zionist enterprise.

A thread 🧵 1/

"Whiteness" is a relatively novel concept, which continues to evolve. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it served to stratify Europe and its colonies into classes of privileged...
2/ white people with full rights and ‘others’ to be disenfranchised, used as manual labor, or eliminated. Societies that champion "whiteness" as the focal point of their identity scapegoat ‘out’ groups in order to mask systematic policies of privilege and prejudice.
3/ Incitement against "out" groups serves to redirect public outrage that would otherwise be focused on the system and its ruling class. A study of 19th century Imperial Russia and its involvement in the brutal mass lynchings (aka “pogroms”) against its Jewish population ...

On Israeli/Zionist propaganda aka "Hasbara"

A thread 🧵 1/

The ultimate propaganda goal of any nationalistic apparatus is to fuse the perception of “self” with that of “nation” into a cohesive identity that is loyal to the ruling class.
2/ Critique of the state becomes an existential threat that warrants defensive responses aimed at ensuring the survival of both personal and collective psyches.
3/ Zionist propaganda depends on the promulgation of two major fallacies:

(a) it ahistorically equates Zionism and Judaism as interconnected since biblical days, instead of correctly presenting Zionism as a modern European movement with Christian roots.

Israeli society is lost after October 7th.

A short 🧵

In vertigo, Israelis remain obsessed even after 58 days, even as they learn of the misinformation they were fed and the Hannibal Directive, even as their government and military commit an unspeakable genocide. 1/
2/ Liberal Zs blame the "settlers", they blame "Netanyahu", they blame "extremism"; anyone and everyone but look inward, examine Zionism itself as a white supremacist, anti Semitic movement. Realize '48 and '67 are part of the same settler program, that all Israel is Palestine.
3/ I've been reading posts from Israeli "leftists" (ie liberals) and there is no indication of any shift. All I can sense is fear; fear of losing their privilege, fear of Ben Gvir's fascist gangs, fear of government surveillance, but mostly - fear of losing their identity.
