The year is 1912. Guess how Zionist colonists are responding to Palestinians raising early concerns about how exclusionary Zionist settlement was impacting them. That’s right, by accusing them of antisemitism

No one needs to speculate about what made Palestinians resist Zionism because it is documented, you can watch it develop

people are like “Zionists did NOT colonize Palestine. it was a Jewish kingdom in 500 BC” as though Europeans showing up somewhere brown people live like “this all belongs to us…. We have a connection from two thousand years ago…..” isn’t the most colonial shit you’ve ever heard literally just uncut colonial idiocy. look at it, it’s fucking embarassing

ok summary thread: A good citizen noticed Britain’s leading transphobe Helen Joyce next to him on the train having a meeting about not letting trans people use the toilet. Then he noticed she was multitasking with a little Harry Potter porno on her phone

And look, it didn’t seem likely. But he found what looks exactly like what was on her screen and it is Draco Malfoy jerkin it to Hermione Granger’s underpants

I don’t think people fully appreciate what the @nytimes has done here. Nothing this extreme had been published in Israel and, as anyone could have predicted, the reaction was exceptionally genocidal

Every soldier serving in Gaza must read this. This eliminates many questions and apparent "moral dilemmas". These human savages grew up in an environment that encourages it, and supports it. There are no innocents in Gaza

To be clear the normal evidence for weaponized sexual violence in war is not forensic pathology, it is witness and victim testimony about a pattern of cases. What Israel is missing is just testimony from independent witnesses about multiple incidents, it is basic stuff

After months of searching Israel appears to have found one witness who claims to have seen 5 women raped and murdered at the Nova festival with a friend that partially backs her up, but no one can identify any of the victims among the 144 women that actually died there.

oh in the same way that people were too focused on South African apartheid

Look I just feel the same way about this as I would feel about a “leftist” making a big deal about America getting disproportionate attention when it is just one among many countries that perpetrate criminal wars of aggression

Kind of essential context for the 10/7 attack is that the kibbutzim (full of civilians) were built around the Gaza perimeter essentially as self-sustaining paramilitary infrastructure to occupy and defend it until formal forces arrived, until very recently armed by the IDF

I think they always self-conceived as communities defending themselves but they had a military function and would actively engage in hostilities. By 10/7 they’d clearly largely lost their combat capabilities, just civilians living in this kind of paramilitary infrastructure

Lucy Letby was convicted of killing babies in ways that left no evidence and in some cases aren’t known to be physically possible (immobilizing lungs by putting air into stomach by ng tube) and if people learn you ever said the case was really concerning it’s all out hysterics

(The insulin results were for babies that didn’t die and weren’t independently considered suspicious. none of the babies that died were allegedly killed with insulin. If you care about wrongful convictions this being the only thing presented as hard evidence is a huge red flag)

One of the most surreal moments of my life was when this picture was everywhere about the Nova party massacre and no one was like “is this a fuckin airstrike? what the fuck is this!” o a burned building. as we all know them

The actual reality of the Israel/Palestine conflict, uniformly missing from American coverage, is that international law is clear: Israel has an immediate obligation to end its military control of Palestinian territory without conditions, which it has baldly flouted for 50+ years The “Israel wants Palestinian self-determination, but they keep acting out :(” thing is completely fake, the obligation is immediate withdrawal, not withdrawal once the occupied peoples become sufficiently docile

It is not getting enough attention that Israel keeps killing journalists IN THEIR HOMES. They are not dying in the field as war correspondents, they are dying because Israel bombed their house

https://twitter.com/RSF_inter/status/1721893643571900490

Israel knows where everyone in Gaza lives and bombed the homes of 3 journalists from a single outlet on the same day. They are terrorizing Arabic-speaking journalists knowing English media will shrug it off

People talk about dehumanization as though it’s all conceptual, like a collective delusion, but a pretty important part of it is inflicting conditions on people that actually change them in ways people independently consider less than human Living amid incessant death and tragedy is not really psychologically conducive to seeing every human life as sacred and infinitely valuable. put people in conditions that devalue human life and then say look at these animals that don’t value human life

Canada was basically the world’s top producer of anti-trans psychology, which has been really influential in the current global backlash

https://twitter.com/nikostratis/status/1704507333097755111

It’s not a fluke that Blanchard and Zucker were Canadian, their research was only possible because the Canadian government uniquely enabled it

It’s fun how the past decade or so people across art and theory and commentary were like ah we are no longer collectively capable of producing something that seems categorically new. maybe there just aren’t new things left. that makes sense and is normal i think just broke remotely functional selection mechanisms and also all microwaved our brains

i never want to talk to people on this website anymore because I remain kind of disgusted by the reactive mobilization against the idea that the Letby prosecution is incredibly concerning, which it is. Consensus by social force 🤪 I do not know if anyone is really doing journalism anymore but here is a tip from me: you should ask non-UK doctors what they think about the available specifics of the medical care provided to the babies in the indictment, because it sounds terrifyingly unsafe

the gender critical movement has been very successful at taking trans inclusion out of a human rights framework and getting people to instead think of it as a matter of, like… metaphysics The human right against discrimination gives people a claim against facially neutral policies and systems that nevertheless particularly disadvantage them in virtue of some personal status. You cannot avoid it by saying “it’s based on sex and humans can’t change sex.”

Holly Lawford-Smith gave a talk that asks why conversion therapy bans cover both sexual orientation and gender identity when conversion therapy isn’t done on gender identity. conversion therapy isn’t done on gender identity, that’s the premise of the talk She’s like “I did world’s least competent lit review and only found a few outcome studies for gender identity conversion therapy. so it seems it doesn’t happen.” oh well if you did worlds least competent lit review and only found a few outcome studies I guess it doesn’t happen (?

I like how gender critical faculty are trying to ridicule me for saying they think students should not be allowed to say they are transphobic but cannot make it 5 minutes without one of them implying it To be clear I—and everyone else who believes in free speech at all—for sure think people have a right to describe faculty campaigning for policies that would violate trans people’s human rights, as they are understood by human rights bodies, as “transphobic.” Easy case!

it is lowkey very funny that Dr. Stock’s persecution problem is 99% people intractably thinking she sucks on twitter, which the noblemen or whatever can’t really control 100% media stronghold to push the ‘doc stock has literally any clue what she is talking about’ narrative and on this website miscreants unrelentingly persist in being like uhhhh. haha. What

In Gender Wars Kathleen Stock says the intense controversy is ultimately whether trans women are women, and I do not think that’s true! It’s about 1) how trans people exist in society, 2) state regulation they’re subject to, and 3) how it is acceptable to treat them People ofc care how others think of them, & gender categorizations of trans people pretty universally reflect positions on how they should exist in public & how it is acceptable to treat them. But people’s intense investment is (of course??) not in your theory but their own LIVES

im still so sad this wasn’t actually for sale. I was one hundo percent ready to put it in our apartment to support Jen
