Follow your humanity and open your imagination when reading this.
A. Creating an open air prison for Palestinians
You read in the news (both sides are aligned here) that Israeli occupation is shutting water/electricity and reducing or eliminating supplies going to Gaza.
You should not just read this without thinking, in what world a country has such a control on a population of ~2 million people?!
Aside from the current war, what would you call a place where an authority has this kind of control? A prison!
Gaza is like this (a prison controlled by Israel) since 2007.
Open your imagination and assume you have grown in Gaza, how would you view your prisoners? Would you try to do your best to break out of it?
All you have to do is look up UN reports and human rights reports about the living conditions in Gaza.
After you do your homework, you will ask yourself, why? Does this promote peace or hate?
B. Apartheid system cannot be a democratic
Israel has three regimes split by the ethnicity of people: Jewish Israeli, non-Jewish Israeli, and Palestinians (look this up or check resources below including human rights reports). Obviously, democracy cannot mix with discrimination.
So when our president said:
“We will make sure the Jewish and democratic State of Israel can defend itself today, tomorrow, as we always have.”
“Jewish” and “democratic” cannot merge together. It doesn’t matter though, all what it takes is digging human rights reports from inside Israel to figure it out. I would appreciate Biden to instead just say “I support Zionism”
C. US supports Apartheid system!
A child is killed and 2 are injured every 10 minutes!
In a moral world this doesn’t make any sense, and has to be condemned and brought to justice. However, we are far from that, we are supporting and paying our tax to this regime. Thanks to our priorities towards imperialism and the corruption/influence of foreign apartheid governments on our policies.
I have seen AIPAC bragged in their tweet from 2022 “More than 95% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their election last night! Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!”
This is a revealing tweet that should motivate our intellectuals to understand what AIPAC is and realize the massive influence they have in deciding US policy. Rest assured next time a US President proposed fund for Israel to commit genocide that majority our elected officials would not dare oppose it because of fear they will lose next elections.
I urge intellectuals to play their roles; to spend time to understand the control/manipulations surrounding them, expose lies and seek truth. It is going to go worse otherwise for coming generations.
I also urge Israelis to listen to the voice of people from within like Ilan Pappe and Gidean Levy, who appear to be more sincere to them than their current leadership.
