They're proudly complicit in genocide and war crimes. https://www.palantir.com/assets/xrfr7uokpv1b/3MuEeA8MLbLDAyx... Basically they're selling BI-solutions for tyranny, usually by convincing government

As a producer of PDF files I mainly work with PDF/A. It's not particularly hard, just need to embed some information regarding colour space and fonts. I use PDFBox for this purpose, it's Apache licensed.

No, it was not, and they did not try that. As you show very clearly, it is useless to protest zionism peacefully.

No one is stopping them from returning, it's within the EU, they have full freedom of movement.

Get to your point. There should be zero so called settlements. Nil. None. They must all be removed. This is the law.

Claiming that the british empire wasn't colonial because "American political science bias" is a weird fucking take, you know that?

They're referring to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germ... I.e. the allies forcing germans in the east to go west and leave the nazi colonial project behind. It was arguably atrocio

Yes, that is quite peaceful given the circumstances and that thirty thousand people participated. The IDF should have retreated and the israeli government have ended the occupations and started dismantling its colonies in the West Bank and

Sure, let's "do" them. Show the numbers you have in mind. I don't understand why you are going after that strawman. Settler colonialism is a term that contrasts with exploitative or extractive colonialism, i.e. when a co

Nothing in the israeli conduct is "bog standard". The drop in longevity in the Gaza strip in 2024 outpaces the Rwandan genocide by a large margin. Israel is a colonial enterprise, sustained by colonial practices and ruled largely

They held peaceful demonstrations by the border and got systematically mutilated for it. This is evidence that peaceful struggle is not an option when it comes to ending israeli crimes. What's your skin in this game? Why are you defend

Israel could have gotten the captives back within a week or two from October 7th but refused, likely because this wasn't a popular opinion among jewish israelis at the time. It still isn't, and even if there was a captive exchange

"Its the governments job to punish those who hurt their citizens and ensure that it doesn’t happen again." Right, so that's why Hamas took captives and tried to initiate negotiations. This was prompted by the annexation of th

Some prominent israeli politicians routinely declare that they are the vanguard and front line protection of 'Western civilisation' that are fighting the barbarism of the indigenous savages. Back in 2007 or so polls among israeli

There shouldn't be any "israeli population" in the West Bank. To a large extent it is armed and commonly also in uniform, without being in IDF service. From 1999 to 2018 colonial population in the West Bank grew from ~177000

Israel is taking hostages all the time and has been for decades and decades. Commonly children.

Yes, it's broadly supported. Besides widely publicised polls by universities and corporations outside of Israel you can look at IDI polls here, https://en.idi.org.il/tags-en/1465 . The why takes more explanation. I

It's a weird nitpick about 'blotting out the memory' of another society being much nicer and not at all genocidal compared to the 'spare no one' of 1 Samuel, and Rosenberg spends a lot of words to avoid describing h

It's not, apartheid states as well as colonies are direly lacking in legitimacy. Until 1955 Nasser was working with the israelis to achieve border security and find a non-violent solution to the rather large amount of palestinians with

What do you mean by "literal invasion"? It seems to imply that Israel would have been attacked without provocation. In 1948 the zionist paramilitaries had been at war with the indigenous population for quite some time, neighbourin

The Baghdad bombings are well known. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950%E2%80%931951_Baghdad_bomb... Nowadays I think the Lavon affair is less known, but it happened a couple of years before the emigration of jews from

I doubt it, 40% mizrahi and sephardic is the statistic I've come across. It's a weird myth to bring up. This jewish exodus to Palestine has consistently been driven by rather nasty politics, starting with the Crémieux decree, via

Israeli "tech" with ties to or background in the occupation is rather common, but ought to be boycotted. https://xcancel.com/NateB_Panic/status/1950180398463418609#m

No, it's been the norm for Israel since its inception. To mention just a couple of examples, ben-Gurion was a founder of Haganah, of which Rabin, infamous for his "break-their-bones" policy, was a member. https://e

The perpetrator, Yinon Levy, has sanctions put on him by a few countries. The current regime in the White House lifted the US sanction a while ago. Arguably it's worse than what is usually meant by terrorism, i.e. civilians or paramili
