FlashMobOfOne, in Hamas may have profited from Oct. 7 assault with informed trading — study

I guarantee you every member of Congress used their classified briefings on Israel to make changes in their stock portfolio, and it’s not even illegal.

Titan, in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage”

They became the Nazis

Kwakigra,

Zionists in Mandatory Palestine collaborated with the Nazis just prior to the Holocaust. “They” specifically meaning radical Zionists in Israel. As a side note, Holocaust victims who immigrated to Palestine/Israel were often met with derision because the belligerent Israeli Zionists considered their “weakness” an embarassment to them. I’ve been reading a lot about Zionism recently and the more I learn the further it seems to me from the kind of values I’m familiar with from Judaism. Hopefully the philosophy goes the way of “Manifest Destiny” in the dustbin of history or at least transforms into something that does not require the removal of all Palestinians from their land.

What is more collaborative:

"They made an agreement where some Jews were allowed to flee the Holocaust"

or

this shit

fleeing versus encouraging and attempting to extend the holocaust, who were the real Nazi collaborators?

Kwakigra, (edited )

I read through the entire section you linked. Half of the section was also describing the Haavara agreement. The Palestinians resisting violence from the influx of European colonists also recieved some help, but to answer your question according to what you linked the Zionists clearly recieved more support for a longer period of time. In terms of the actual conflict taking place in Palestine at the time, the help the Zionists recieved from the Nazis was significantly more impactful than the help the Palestinians later recieved from the Nazis.

One thing I want to clarify is that it is completely fucked up that the Palestinian leaders speaking with the Nazis named their enemy as all Judaism rather than the actual sociopolitical force which was the true threat to their sovereignty. Anti-semetism was never and is never justified. I’m at least glad that a lot of anti-semetism has been scrubbed from official anti-zionist documentation although I have no doubt some continue to blame all Jewish people even though many of whom also oppose Zionism.

Edit: One more point on conflation. The German Jewish people fleeing for their lives were not the ones who made the Haavara agreement with the Nazis. Zionists made that agreement. The reason is that the Zionists and the Nazis agreed that Jewish people should be expelled from Europe.

kbal, in China is slowly erasing Tibet's name
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

It's remarkable that Tibetan culture has been so tenacious that there's anything left of it today. If the government of 50 years ago had been able to exert the kind of control over its people that they do today, it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't have been fully eradicated by now.

zerfuffle,

We’re talking about the same Tibet where, throughout history, almost every single major government position has been held by a Tibetan, right?

Blapoo, in Over 10,500 Killed in One Month as Israel Continues its War on Palestine

“War” isn’t the correct term

Celediel, (edited )

Seriously. There have been about as many civilians killed in Ukraine, since February 2022. Nearly two years vs one month. One is a war, and one is very clearly an attempted genocide in progress.

Propaganda is running well when Israel can casually do holocaust...

So, Hitler, pretty much.

dark_stang, in Israel-Palestine megathread for the remainder of the weekend

US State Dept. Officials Told Not to Use Terms ‘De-Escalation/Cease-Fire’ About Gaza - just… big sigh.

According to HuffPost, which reviewed official emails, “State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: ‘de-escalation/cease-fire,’ ‘end to violence/bloodshed,’ and ‘restoring calm.’”

ours, in Netanyahu says Israel will ‘crush and destroy’ Hamas; every Hamas member is a ‘dead man’

What Hamas has done is horrendous and undefendable but there’s no military solution to removing extremism. They’ll just end up killing many more civilians than Hamas has murdered and cementing the next generation of extremists.

Israel will likely be able to crush Hamas as an organization but I doubt anything better will rise from its ashes. I’m certain it was Hamas’ goal to trigger such a reaction and with the escalation triggering a wider conflict.

bedrooms,

I don't think it was Hamas' calculation. That scenario assumes Hamas members literally dead.

That’s basically Netanyahu’s entire MO. This attack has been a real boon for his brand of politics, especially given his recently waning support and legal troubles.

JokeDeity, in Israeli death toll passes 600, another 2,048 injured

Downvote me all you want, but what the fuck does anyone expect from a beaten and caged dog other than for it to lash out? If I was raised in Palistine I would probably feel the same way they do, completely lost and broken and that this is their only hope left to make a stance.

CosmoNova, in Spotify spotted prepping a $19.99/mo 'Superpremium' service with lossless audio, AI playlists and more | TechCrunch

Sounds like absolute garbage.

GunnarRunnar,

Since Spotify can’t even make a shuffle that works, I don’t see how AI playlists would be any good either.

DragonTypeWyvern, in China feels the country isn’t patriotic enough. A new law aims to change that.

What, exactly, are the requirements to become a Communist Party member in China? 90 million members seems pretty low.

CaptObvious,

If just any community member can join the communist party, then it’s hardly a ruling class.

tardigrada,

There’s a long read on what has changed since Xi has been leading the CCP. The rules have slightly changed.

Xi Jinping only wants the most devoted Chinese Communist Party members

Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose real power derives from his position as the head of the ruling Communist Party, has placed more emphasis on quality over quantity. He has demanded absolute loyalty from party members, launched an ideology drive to shore up their faith, and unleashed a crackdown on internal dissent. Members are bound by more stringent rules – and millions of cadres have been investigated for violating them in the past nine years since Xi took control of the party.
