🚨Dangerously out of control🚨
#Braverman: "I do not believe these marches are merely a cry for help for #Gaza. They're an assertion of primacy by Islamists, of the kind we are more used to seeing in Northern #Ireland."
#Sunak failed to force the Met to ban a pro #Palestine ceasefire march, so his attack dog Cruella reacted, prompting the #FarRight to tell its supporters to protest against the march.
Why is it wrong to call for peace on Armistice Day? 💢 🤔
@AnthonyFStevens the counter argument is that it's not really a call for peace, which is what the quote pointed out.
The call is for a ceasefire & a two state solution.
This has been the goal of those who support a #Palestinian state & #Israel's right to exist.
The issue is this doesn't suit the #Zionist or #Hamas extremists who need conflict to remain relevant.
@AnthonyFStevens but that's not an option on the table in any realistic way.
So since ceasefire & two state solution is not an option, any call for a ceasefire ends up being, for all practical considerations, a call for maintaining the crap that's going on now.
It's like saying you're calling for jumping out of the airplane without a parachute to grow wings and fly down to the earth. Well, since that's not actually going to happen you're just calling for jumping out to plummet to the ground.
And that's what the quote above was pointing out.
Jumping out of a plane & hoping to grow wings is an impossibility.
A ceasefire in #Gaza & a two state solution, whilst being very difficult is achievable.
The sticking point is the unfettered support given to the extremist #Zionists supported by the #US.
When you add in the support given to the extremist #Hamas, you get to the impasse we see today.
We all know & can see this, but when will a mechanism be employed to end this utter madness? 🤷🏾♂️
@AnthonyFStevens yes, jumping out of a plant and hoping to grow wings is an impossibility, just like a two sided ceasefire and two state solution.
That's my point :)
No, it's not achievable. We have generations of history showing that to be true. It was tried over and over again. At this point it's simply foolish to keep believing in the thing that failed every single time it was tried.
Sadly.
So, given that reality, what's the best path forward? What's the best out of only bad options?
Just clinging to the solution that we know doesn't work is not going to serve anyone well, well except for those who benefit from selling that snake oil.
@AnthonyFStevens firstly, I think you're just flat out wrong that it's achievable. Everything I see says it's not achievable at all, much less very achievable.
But even assuming you're correct:
the "unfettered US support for the Zionists" isn't going anywhere.
So first I think you're wrong based on history, but even if you're right, it's still unachievable even under your own model.
Reality is that many wonderful things in the world are simply physically impossible.
We can't grow those wings, no matter how nice it would be.
