Modi and the Hindutva idolize the settler colonialist occupation of Zionism, so this isn’t too surprising.

How Hindu Nationalists Became Best Friends With Israel

Kashmir deserves independence and Autonomy, from both India and Pakistan

You didn’t even read the correct part of the first poll, so I’m not surprised by your ‘conclusion.’ Here’s data from 4 more of the 34 I already had quoted out 6 months ago.

• Split Ticket (July 2024)

• New Poll Suggests Gaza Ceasefire and Arms Embargo Would Help Dems with Swing State Voters (Full YouGov Report) (May 2024)

• Data For Progress Poll (May 2024)

• American Attitudes: Shifting Realities After the Unfolding Genocide in Gaza (Nov 2024)

Thanks, it’s very irritating when people falsely assume my positions, even if I’ve repeatedly done the opposite of what they claim.

Pivoting on Israel would have been a significant gain during the election, as dozens of poll on policy show. But that’s yesterday’s news. Palestine is still a critical component of the current resistance against fascism in America. Progressives gaining control of the Democratic Party are our best shot to a genuine opposition to fascism going forward. I do hope elections can be a meaningful path for this opposition, but from what I’ve learned about fascism/imperialism/colonialism and resistance movements that have successfully overthrown them; armed struggle, while a last resort, can never be ruled out

Wrong again

Learn how to get evidence for your claims or just go outside instead of making shit up

I definitely agree that people / ideologies co-opt religion to justify their own ends. But I also know many people do not practice religion this way, and that there are religious groups that practice religion in a progressive way. Just wanted to decouple that co-opt / corruption of religion from religion itself being evil. I’ve seen people use the latter to justify hatred against entire peoples practicing a religion; it’s clear that you’re not doing anything like that. Thanks for the reply

You going to respond to the substance of the comment and sources or just stick to adhominim attacks? My comment and post history speaks for itself, I’m not hiding any positions of mine.

Zionism is an ethnosupremacist fascist ideology. Conflating Zionism with Judaism is false and dangerous. This is a problem with conservatism, right-wing ideologies always dehumanize based on whatever is deemed inferior, be it race, gender, religion, ect.

That’s certainly not what they are saying. Ilan Pappe and Avi Schlaim are great counter examples. I think what you’re talking about fits post-zionists much more accurately. And in terms of post-zionism I agree.

Adi Callai has also done phenomenal work about bringing an end to Zionism, he has a great analysis of Franz Fanon as well.

I know it’s framed that way deliberately to western audiences as a way to minimize Israels current actions as fringe instead of mainstream, but yeah, definitely taken that way from the audience. American exceptionalism still has a stronghold in the mentality of the people here unfortunately.

You’re the one that keeps responding to me as if my comments are about calls to genocide.

And I already condemned them for that, so why are you attributing that to me or the Palestinian resistance

Where are you getting that I’m calling for genocide?

Palestinian resistance is fighting for ending the apartheid, for equal rights, and for right of return. Not genocide.

You blamed the current situation on the ‘cycle of revenge,’ which grossly misrepresents the reality of Zionism and the reaction of Palestinian resistance.

Zionism is the problem. While a small Minority in Israel, there are many anti-zionist Israelis who are playing a critical role in dismantling Zionism.

It’s a one-state reality of supremacy and apartheid. The only way out is with ending Zionism and implementing right of return, equal rights, and massive reparations to all Palestinians

Kami is, which is why I downvoted them.

Palestinian resistance is not calling for genocide.

The amount of people in this thread who justify the EU sending weapons to Israel and supporting Israel is concerning

Netanyahu isn’t seen as an extremist within Israeli politics. Zionism has always been fascist and always had the agenda of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

Settler colonialism is how we ended up in this situation. There is no ‘both sides’ when one is engaging in supremacy and genocide while the other is resisting eradication and fighting for their human rights

Edit:

For the people who are downvoting. Equating the violence here is the same as equating the violence in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It’s been over 76 years of violent apartheid, supremacy, and ethnic cleansing.

In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai, an Israeli, has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video

I’m not the Democratic Party, which did aid genocide abroad unconditionally, and enabled Trump’s expansion of fascism at home by ramping up the arrests of, the criminalization of pro-palestinian protesters, and capitulating to the right wing framing on immigration as a national security threat.

Instead of supporting a weapons embargo, which had the vast support of the voter base, was required by international and domestic law, and was the moraly correct thing to do, the adminstration instead fractured their own base by continuing material support for Israel by the measure of tens of billions worth of weapons for genocide. Pivoting to the weapons embargo would have significantly improved their chances of winning against Trump. While one of the most critical, there were many other policies that the campaign should have taken to further increase their support, many economic policies that would even fracture the Republican base of support, also critically improving their chances against Trump.

Biden gave zero genuine pressure to end the genocide. Instead of implementing a weapons embargo, he sent tens of billions worth of weapons used to prolong the genocide.

One Year of Empty Rhetoric From the White House on Israel’s Wars

From the MEMO article:

The Biden administration allowed Israel unprecedented leeway to carry out its military offensive, despite the enormous death and devastation it inflicted on Gaza. Former Israeli ambassador, Michael Herzog, made a startling admission about Biden’s support: “God did the State of Israel a favour that Biden was the president during this period. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.” His remarks encapsulated a broader sentiment that the White House gave Benjamin Netanyahu all the political space he needed to execute the military offensive, which has claimed the lives of more than 52,000 Palestinians, mainly women and children.

Here Are 34 Polls That Show A Ceasefire & Weapons Embargo Help Kamala Win

Kamala Would Have Won With A Weapons Embargo

The blame is entirely on the campaign for chosing to ignore and even go against those voters instead of make concessions to gain as much votes as possible. They chose to prioritize continuing the genocide over winning against Trump.
