No, actually, I do have something against the people of Israel.
I have something against the people of Israel in the IDF who are committing genocide.
I have something against the people of Israel who are violently displacing Palestinians from their homes in illegal settlements.
I have something against 47% of the people in Israel who answered yes to whether Israel should kill everyone in Gaza*, 64% of the people of Israel that agree with the statement “there are no innocent people in Gaza”**, and the 82% of Jewish Israelis who back expelling Gazans from Gaza.
If you think it’s just Netanyahu or a handful of people committing ethnic cleansing and genocide and perpetuating an apartheid state, you’re deluded.
None of this would be possible without “the people of Israel” who are actively involved in commiting these crimes against humanity on a daily basis.

❝ The rich can no longer be tamed. They are way too far gone in their own worlds, too entitled, too convinced they've "earned" (and therefore *deserve* their wealth) & would rather burn the entire planet & kill off 5 billion people than give up that wealth. We need to realize this. ❞

This is so fucking wrong in so many ways that I don’t know where to begin.
I want to know:
1. Is it mastodon.social policy to just go ahead and delete the posts of its members or was this a moderator acting out of spite against a Palestinian? (Or is everyone on mastodon.social at risk of having their posts deleted if moderators don’t agree with the hashtags they use?)
2. If this is not mastodon.social policy, I’d like to know what action will be taken regarding this moderation action and the moderator responsible and what will change internally to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again.
Israel is already doing their best to erase Palestinians. The least we can do is to not help them by literally deleting the posts of Palestinians on the fediverse. Thank goodness hashtags weren’t a thing in the days of Anne Frank because clearly some of you would have burned her diary had she used the wrong one by mistake.
3. Can we all, please, have some fucking basic decency and maintain perspective when dealing with people suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid? It’s a pretty low bar for humanity.

“AA: There is also a way to argue, on the flipside, that the project of Israel is essentially a project of assimilation into the Western world order—that there’s nothing inherently Jewish about what Israel is doing, and that it actually represents assimilation into a colonial framework. But then, of course, there’s a way to read this that’s very direct: This is what Jews are doing in the world. Secular Jews, religious Jews, cultural Jews, all kinds of Jews.
EL: You’re absolutely right. That was the strategy we on the Jewish left used for a long time, to say Judaism was colonized and the Zionists are Jewish antisemites, in that they reject what the antisemites reject—the diasporic, exilic, “parasite” Jew—and want instead to become real Europeans. But when so many people who call themselves Jewish are doing things that we have a problem with and calling it “Jewish,” we cannot just dismiss it, or claim that it’s not real Judaism. If you look at statistics, at least in Israel, the support for Netanyahu

If you look at statistics, at least in Israel, the support for Netanyahu and the Gaza war, including the most racist genocidal statements, is correlated to how religious people are—the more religious, the more supportive. There were times when you could expect the Haredi communities not to go to the army, not to celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut, Independence Day, not even to speak Hebrew. And that’s changed.”

"American Christians can’t pretend we haven’t seen what our leaders have done this spring. Ours is no longer a government interested in haggling over the finer points of just war theory, a Scripture-shaped standard of ethical conduct in warfare, to defend a military intervention."

"According to Letters from Leo, the relationship between the White House and the Vatican has sharply deteriorated after Pope Leo XIV condemned the Iran war & called for global peace. Behind the scenes, U.S. officials reportedly threatened and pressured the Vatican, warning that America’s military power gives it the ability to act without restraint & pushing the Church to fall in line."
“We have heard with deep sorrow the words coming from Donald Trump warning that an entire civilization—the population of Iran—could face total destruction. These threats are truly unacceptable. The idea that millions of innocent men, women, and children could be condemned to death under the pretext of national security is an affront to human dignity and a blasphemy against the Creator of life."

Iranian envoy says Tehran will not “stand idle’ if Trump follows through on #WarCrime threats
Amir-Saeid Iravani, Tehran’s representative at the #UN, said that Trump’s threats earlier Tuesday that a “whole civilization will die” if Iran does not make a deal “constitute incitement to #WarCrimes & potentially #genocide.”
Abby Martin: “The world sees Israel for what it is and it can’t last for long in its current state. You cannot expect change in a society this far gone. It is full-throated fascist. And that’s why they act the way they do, with full… total impunity. Because they have no humanity left.”

#Trump warns a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if a deal with #Iran isn't reached
Trump issued the stark threat Tuesday, about 12 hours ahead of his deadline for Iran to agree to a deal that includes reopening the #StraitOfHormuz or face punishing strikes.
Trump wrote on his social media site: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

Today’s news highlights, presented by me: In the past few days, the occupation has escalated its horrific attacks and continuous violations across the Gaza Strip, specifically targeting Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central sector, resulting in a brutal massacre that left at least ten fatalities and numerous injuries
Egyptian programmer Badr El-Khamisy launched a digital initiative to honor every Palestinian who has been killed in Israeli bombings during the ongoing genocide on Gaza.
So far, over 60,000 names have been documented, each represented as a point of light on the screen. Clicking a point reveals the name of the martyr.
UN Special Rapporteur and legal scholar Francesca Albanese will today receive an honorary doctorate jointly awarded by three Flemish universities: Ghent University, the Free University of Brussels, and the University of Antwerp.
I mean c’mon people. The racist 1994 Clinton #Crime Bill co-authored by #Biden, HRC calling Black teens “superpredators,” #Obama droning more people than any #POTUS in #history including an American teenager and Arabs innocently attending a wedding, HRC endorsing the illegal coup in #Honduras (supporting murder exactly like Kissinger himself would have), Obama vacationing while Black Missourians in Ferguson were being gassed by militarized #police, Biden deporting more Haitians than any POTUS in history and smearing our college students who opposed his #genocide in #Palestine “antisemitic.” Vichy #Democrats hardly repaired any of the damage of fascist #Republicans.
@Quasit@kolektiva.social Democrats have always repaired the damage caused by Republicans. Additionally, Donald has inspired a whole generation of younger Democrats who are eager to restore balance and eliminate every trace of this nightmare regime.
It’s been a while since I shared Noor’s journey. As the first medical student in our family, our future doctor needs your support to finish her path.

Every bit counts toward her success!
@aral Newborn premature babies were evacuated from incubators in the early days of the war in Gaza… taken from amid tanks to receive treatment abroad. Today, after two and a half years, they have returned to Gaza to meet their families for the first time—some of them don’t even recognize their mother or father. Some children have lost their entire families… while others have only one surviving family member left. 💔 gofund.me/d0cc0587 #Gaza #Palestine #DocumentedGaza #Israel #Genocide
Tomorrow Vercel is updating its terms to use your code and agent chats for AI training and third-party data sharing. So we just wanted to remind you that the CEO of this company openly aligns himself with Netanyahu.
Here's quick guide on how to opt-out or even better: how to migrate off Vercel.
September 2025. Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel, poses smiling next to Benjamin Netanyahu at a private AI tech meeting in New York. The photo goes viral within hours. Employees resign. Developers cancel their accounts and migrate to competitors.
“As a Jewish Australian who spent considerable time in Israel, I noticed, decades ago, something unsettling: a hardening of emotional life and a gradual erosion of empathy toward anyone outside the Zionist frame.
This presents itself clearly, especially among the young: a bluntness in moral language, a comfort with power and a way of speaking about others that feels stripped of hesitation. This is not hidden. It is not marginal. It is part of Israeli culture as it is actually lived. You hear it in ordinary conversations, in how people describe daily encounters, in the absence of pause where you might expect reflection. It is not performed for outsiders. It is internal, habitual and widely shared across Israeli society.
People sometimes call it ‘psychopathy’. That’s not quite right. It’s something more systemic than that — and more confronting for precisely that reason, because it is produced openly, not accidentally. The instinct to pathologise it comes from discomfort, from the sense that something is off. But the more accurate way

But the more accurate way to understand it is not as deviation, but as outcome — the outcome of a specific social and ideological structure. What is taking shape is a set of conditions that reshape how young people in Israel see others, how they use power and what they come to experience as normal. These conditions are not hidden. They are visible, repeatable and embedded in everyday Israeli life.”
