Intersectionality is a great analytical tool. Jewish Voice for Peace found themselves to be in the intersection of being both Jewish and anti-zionists. German government policies and often German people (even from the left or antifa), fail take this intersection into consideration.

But do we really need this analytical tool for this topic? When a person knows the historical relation between zionism and fascism, why would they support zionists or zionist policies?

Thanks for the clarifications. Of course noone can be responsible for stuff that happened before their lifetime.

Our responsibility lays on to how we address this colonial past. The way I see things, we need to face it and address it, not put it under the rug. It’s the least we can do and its important to do so for the millions of people around the world who were not alive then, but still have to live/survive the outcomes of colonial past policies. Racism would be one of them, the list is long.

To my understanding forza nuova was gaining a tiny percentage in elections, bellow 0.30%. Meloni is the prime minister.

I’m not sure I understand what you say?

In the birth-place of fascism, they have elected a fascist. Fascists have historically supported Zionism, not Palestine. For me the fact that students in Italy protest for Palestine is loud enough to give me hope.

This article doesn’t mention that -once more- this famine is due to british colonial biopolitics:

The colonial strategies and utilitarian principles by the British authorities exacerbated the Bengal famine. Utilizing Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, I point out how the British viewed Indian bodies discursively. To reaffirm their sense of superiority, they reduced their Indian subjects to animal-like beings’ incapable of controlling their own reproduction.

That’s what Haaretz wrote:

According to a police source, the investigation also indicates that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants.

I totally see point. Maybe if Hebrew was called an Israeli language it would have been a more accurate term?

Ghil’ad Zuckermann, a 35-year-old graduate of Tel Aviv University with doctorates from Oxford and Cambridge, argues that modern Hebrew should be renamed “Israeli” and give up its claim of pure descent from holy writ.
“Israelis are brainwashed to believe they speak the same language as (the prophet) Isaiah, a purely Semitic language, but this is false,” Zuckermann told Reuters during a lecture tour to promote his soon-to-be-published polemic “Hebrew as Myth”.

For Zuckermann, the proof of linguistic discontinuity between ancient and modern Israel is that Hebrew had to be revived, by 19th-century Zionist pioneers and lexicographers, after 1,700 years in which it was no one’s native tongue.

from Hebrew or Israeli? Linguist stirs Zionist debate - Reuters - 2007

Smotrich last year claimed:

“There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation. There is no Palestinian history. There is no Palestinian language,” he said in France late Sunday. He spoke at a memorial event for a French-Israeli right-wing activist who denied the existence of a Palestinian nation and advocated annexation of the West Bank. The lectern was adorned with what appeared to be an image showing the map of Israel that included the occupied West Bank, Gaza and Jordan.

I think it is important in this conversation to keep in mind:

The Legacy of Belgian Colonialism in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda

The Neglected History of the State of Israel
The Revisionist faction of Zionism that ended up triumphing adhered to literal fascist doctrines and traditions.

I USE THE WORD “FASCIST” in the literal sense. Do not flinch from it. The founders of Revisionist Zionism certainly didn’t. Respect them enough to take them at their word.

In 1928, a prominent Revisionist named Abba Ahimeir published a series of articles entitled “From the Diary of a Fascist.” They refer to the founder of their movement, Ze’ev Jabotinsky (his adopted first name is Hebrew for “wolf”), as “il duce.” In 1935, his comrade Hen Merhavia wrote that Revisionists were doing what Mussolini did: “establish a nucleus of an exemplary life of morality and purity. Like us, the Italian fascists look back to their historical heritage. We seek to return to the kingdom of the House of David; they want to return to the glory of the Roman Empire.” They even opened a maritime academy in Italy, under Mussolini’s sponsorship, for the navy they hoped to build in their new Israeli state. “[T]he views and the political and social inclinations of the Revisionists,” an Italian magazine reported, “are absolutely in accordance with the fascist doctrine … as our students they will bring the Italian and fascist culture to Palestine.”

This article from New America has some interesting numbers on top drone sellers, byers and their relationships. Including a mapping of global import and export relationships. I think it dates from 2022?

Introduction: How We Became a World of Drones

TOP SELLERS
The United States and Israel are the biggest producers and sellers of drones.
(…)
Israel is the largest exporter of drones in the world. Israel accounted for 41 percent of all drones exported between 2001 and 2011, according to a database compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), though Israel refuses to release the full list of countries to which it has sold military arms.
(…)
China is a growing drone exporter and has filled gaps in the market with its more liberal export policy.

Israel exports to 56
USA exports to 55
China exports to 37
Austria exports to 13
France exports to 11
Canada exports to 5
Germany exports to 5
Iran exports to 5
Estonia exports to 4
Turkey exports to 4

The last sentence of this article starts by saying:

Unrwa has found weapons inside its schools

To my understanding this statement dates back from 2014.

UNRWA discovered rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip.

If someone finds a recent statement by UNWRA claiming what wsj says, could you please share?

China is fkin scared all this ruckus will draw attention in the end to its own treatment of the Muslims in its own country. Nothing more. They don’t give a fk on Palestine or it’s Muslim inhabitants.

I think it could be more related to the fact that China is one of the 139 of the 193 United Nations (UN) member states have recognized the State of Palestine. Since 1988.

In the same time Israel government gives financial incentives for new a settler-colonial migration wave, notably from Western countries only.

Israeli Government to Reward New Immigrants Who Settle in Country’s North, South and West Bank - Haatertz - 15 Febr 2024

Against a backdrop of growing interest in immigration to Israel from Jewish people in France, Britain, America and Canada, Israel plans to give financial aid to new ‘olim’ in a bid to increase immigration from Western countries

I see your point. The percentages of the zionist migrations during last century are one thing, let’s say. The percentages of the current population is another story.

Personally, I totally don’t trust wiki in relation to its content on the matter so I will use another source that I do trust: the Jewish Voice for Peace FACT SHEET from 2015. Of course they have different and more recent percentages but this does not affect the point. Amongst other very interesting things they say:

Of 7 million Israelis, 35-40% are Mizrahim, 15% are Russian immigrants, 20% are Palestinian Israelis, 2.2% are Ethiopian, and 25-30% are Ashkenazi Jews and others. This means 55-60% of the Israeli population is ‘nonwhite’; together, Mizrahim and Palestinian Israelis form a majority.

a large part of israeli jews came back from arab countries

I wouldn’t call it large. Check out in this article the pi chart called

Of course if you have a source that says otherwise, I’d be happy to take a look at it.
