Until more Israelis march for both hostages *and* Gazans, the world will continue to ignore them. Acting as if this is simply a case of antisemitism or hating Israelis misses this larger picture.

There is always hope that more and more Israelis will break their nationalistic programming.

It seems like it’s not just the Israelis being able to recognize fellow Israelis as victims and not Palestinians, but the kind of merging of pain and hate that the right uses with people like Laken Riley. The victims become a structural part of the genocide’s framing and perpetuation. Even more here

Well actually, entirely here in many cases. No Christian Zionist or Trump regime flunkies care one bit about the lives of the civilian captives.

A UN speaker called (correctly) Israel a terrorist state.

I’m not sure there is anything that will make Israelis view Gazans as human. I say this as someone who has ex-friends in Israel whom I saw radicalize post-2023 in ways that I could not have previously imagined and essentially become unreachable to the inroads of emotion.

What truly scares me is that basic analysis of how a population becomes genocidal, and how societies are genocidal rather than just a couple leaders, is by some people reflexively rejected as a form of bigotry. It gives me nightmares of people saying “nah, stop being anti-Serb, Bosnians lie.”

In the case of Israel, the genocidal public opinion is absolutely enabled by the idea that “everyone just hates Jews,” because it gets used as a rationalization to dismiss every statement that threatens Israeli national identity. It’s an important part of how we’ve gotten here.

Yes. It’s a terrifying twisting of the diaspora experience, where the IDF bombing kids is compared to young men fighting pogroms. Where the Israeli delegation to the UN wears gold stars as they literally blockade a city and bomb hospitals. Inhumanity beyond parody.

At best it’s like Kanye West invoking slavery to defend his antisemitism, delusions of hate desperately grasping at real history of oppression in a grotesque show of intellectual gymnastics.
