Rachel Corrie, 1979-2003 (she died 22 years ago today)
Rachel, an American #peace #activist, was killed when Israeli soldiers crushed her with a #bulldozer
She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in #Rafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza and turned it into a giant concentration camp.

the term “zionist” is essentially a racial slur… zionism is just the movement for a jewish homeland, but many many zionists are against that being established in Israel….
and many Israeli’s aren’t zionists….
even Bob Marley used to sing about zion… there was a movement to establish that in Ethiopia…
tl;dr it’s not the Zionists, it’s not the Jews… it’s Israelis but even a lot of them are against the whole fascist murdering thing….
…
so, whenever someone writes about “those damned Zionists” they’re taking a legitimate criticism and turning it into a racist one….
Not true - https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/
You're talking about a society that had a pro-rape January 6th: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-prison-idf-soldiers-arrest-palestine-rape-b2587997.html
sounds like a very small selection sample, and people in israel might not want to be seen speaking against the war….
Gee I wonder why.
because Netanyahu is a fascist
What about other Israeli prime ministers?
i can’t give you a rundown of exactly how evil each prime minister of israel has been… but Bibi has been particularly extreme, by israeli standards
