When Israeli state commits genocide in Palestine, reaction of the world is competing in normalisation of either colonialism or theocracy to score political points. Maybe freedom? For Arabs? Yes, even for Arabs. And yes, not only in their designated ghettos. From the river to the sea, if you may.

@livinghell You are overcomplicating this.
A gaggle of states kills people. This is ok, because states are actually people pursuing profit.
So they like it, as it helps them, no matter how many die.

@admitsWrongIfProven What i am talking about is the anti-colonialist discourse, which don't actually offer much to the oppressed people actually getting murdered. Also, there are those who are well intentioned but do not want to see full extent of the colonial project and their complicity with it. Both sides focus on their own political projects while there are people getting murdered.

@admitsWrongIfProven Bonanno wrote against war against peace. Opposition to genocide means nothing unless one is also against the conditions that allow it to happen. Yelling to states stop killing people is not a logical strategy. No one is programitizing an actually positive program for Palestinians. They yell stop, Israeli state may stop now. They will start later. They can make peace, two state or one state solution etc. None of these will stop the next genocide.

@livinghell This totally ignores who is in power. Rules for who is in power need to be different than rules for the weak.
If we ever get to the level of power where we can prevent genocide by saying "stop", we might have to think a bit more.
But for now, let's focus on killing nazis, if they are close, right?
