I was told recently by someone: “I find your posts about Israel to be quite offensive”

To which I responded: “I find the entire concept of an ethnostate to be offensive, I find apartheid to be offensive, I find genocide to be offensive”.

I would like to remind everyone that Israel is an ethnostate. In 2018, Israel passed a controversial law called the "Nation-State Law," which declares Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

The law asserts that the right to exercise national self-determination in the state of Israel is unique to the Jewish people. The law also downgraded Arabic from an official language to one with a "special status." The law specifically gives more rights to Jewish people.

Everything in Israel, from its laws to its government to its social environment, is engineered specifically to exalt Jewish people above all others. Muslims, Christians, Atheists, any other ethnic groups simply do not have the same protections or human rights in Israel.

Israel did not begin this genocide on October 7th. This genocide has been an ongoing process that started over 80 years ago. In fact, this process started in the late 1800s with the founding of the Zionist Organisation during the First Zionist Congress of 1897.

I do not care if you find me offensive. I care about the fact people are being killed en masse. They are being forcibly displaced and “ethnically cleansed”. Their culture, their history, their existence is under attack by Israel and has been for over 80 years.

In full transparency, I simply must say that I do not wish to engage in dialogue with anyone who continues to defend genocide and excuse genocide. Over 30,000 Palestinians have been brutally massacred within 3 months. That is an unprecedented level of cruelty and violence.

If you wish to refuse to accept the facts, the reality that everyone else sees…from intl human rights experts to genocide scholars and survivors, fine..be ignorant. But do not dare to pretend this is not happening. We are all watching it live. The evidence is insurmountable.
