My comment was unfairly removed.
Acknowledging that the conflict has been going on for hundreds of not thousand of years of years at this point apparently counts as trivializing genocide.
I’m not sure why I got kicked for it after you trivialized the genocides that the PSL defends, but hey, this is “leftists memes”, so as long as a group has the word “peoples” or “socialist” or “workers” in the name then it must be good.
Edit: I will check out the articles, but I can’t read everything instantaneously.
Modern Israel is less than a century old. This is not a “thousands of years old conflict,” it’s younger than World War II. Israel is a settler-colony, one that appeared less than a century ago. This is why your comment was removed, you call famines caused by economic crisis, sanctions, drought, and flood “genocide” but extend the most nuance to a fascist settler-colony that collaborated with the Nazis and is anti-Yiddish.
All of your critique is utterly devoid of a real understanding. Take a step back. Even though PSL has largely the same stances as Cuba, the Black Panther Party, Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, and other Socialist and Socialist-sympathetic groups and figures, you condemn them without actually digging into their real stances. Go to a local chapter and ask questions.
It is good for you to read. You shouldn’t discuss subjects you haven’t studied as though you have, it comes across as infantilizing and as you already did, makes light of genuine mass slaughter of Palestinians and cultural absorption. Your misframing me as simply looking at the name of something to determine if its good or bad, when I’ve already demonstrated that I put far more effort into studying these subjects, is utter cope.
If you want, I can offer good sources and readings, or you can try to find good sources on your own. The less you speak on matters you don’t know nor understand, the more worthwhile the conversations you’ll have will be.
With that, I’m disengaging.
1948 was not the exact moment that all the Jews teleported to a section of Palestine. As stated before, the area has a long history of conquest and conflict since 3 major religions all consider the area a holy land.
