I'm so fucking tired of Anti-Genocide groups being called Pro-Palestine. It feels like such a dog whistle.

At least two grassroots pro-Palestine organisations in the UK have had their bank accounts frozen, raising fears about a wider attempt to silence voices speaking out about Gaza.
Greater Manchester Friends for Palestine (GMFP) and Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), which both organise peaceful protests and vigils, have had access to their funds cut off indefinitely by Virgin Money and Unity Trust bank respectively. The Guardian understands a local PSC branch in England has also had its bank account frozen but was unable to confirm it directly.
Coming amid the banning of Palestine Action earlier this month and the arrest of more than 100 people for showing support for the group, and the threatened arrest of a peaceful protester for having a Palestine flag and “Free Gaza” sign, it has amplified concerns about a crackdown on critics of Israel.

Bloody hell!

The treacherous Albions are no strangers to genocide. Bengal and Ireland still remember it.

If the world lets Israel take Gaza, I do not understand why there is no action to relocate the Palestinians and avoid the massacre at least.

That is a conundrum but not for us to dictate, but Palestinians themselves.
As an occupier since 1948, Israel has the obligation to maintain the people they had conquered, never did, the international community, rather than the invader, for 7 decades had maintained the Palestinian community. As an occupier, Israel never felt the burden of their policies. Now Israel is in the way to kill and/or expel the entire population on Gaza (West Bank will be next) and expects, again, for the entire world community to pay with the burden. For countries to accept these refugees in masse, it will help the people individually, but it will be complicit in the eradication of a people . And 'help' the individuals, is a understatement, most likely the bulk of Palestinians will be send to tents for the rest of their lives in some dessert (for 2nd or 3rd time in their lifetimes!) with no rights of the hosted country either. Let's not even mention all the hundreds of thousands handicapped and other hundreds of thousands with mental disorders that this orchestrated and meticulously planed genocide has caused them and that will need to be supported, once again, not by the perpetrator, but an enabler international community.

There is a long list of alternatives that starts with a military intervention to stop the genocide, and ends with relocating the refugees in other countries as the minimum act of decency. Somehow the world manages to go to the bottom of the list and digs down choosing to just watch.
I wonder how this will be explained in history books.

Fact: Gazans have just as much right to armed self defense as the Israelis do.
Fact: Hamas, by Israel's own numbers, does a better job at avoiding civilian casualties than the IDF does.
Fact: people who hand wring about Hamas are just classists. They view killing someone with a bomb dropped from a plane as morally superior to killing someone with an AK 47. Their moral judgment in the validity of violence is primarily a function of the income of the person committing the violence.
Actually Israelis do not have any right to self defense as a beligirent occupier.
Palestinians meanwhile are allowed extreme levels of armed resistance against their occupiers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_right_of_armed_resistance
My Israelian friend told me they grew up with bombings every week for the last 30 years and that having a bomb shelter was normal and needed... Hearing on the news that a mall, a club, a restaurant or even a bus were blown up. They used to go with a gas mask to school because there were always under threat of chemical attacks... so idk how hamas does a better job at avoiding civilian casualties than the IDF does since Israel been under attack for 30 years by Hamas according to my friend. But ATM yes, I agree IDF is deffo making a lot more civilian casualties... shooting innocent palestinians at food check points in their crotches...
What Hamas has been doing for 30 years, IDF is doing right now since october 7 if not worse...
Its just so crazy. Also because they told me they were taught in school that Arabs are as much a part of Israel as anyone else is. And in general media it's always the fault of the terror organizations and not the countries themselves... That does not sound like indoctrination against palestinians to me ?
And is it true that it's now illegal to be against the genocide in gaza in the UK just because pro palestinians attacked one military base? Aren't they secure sites? What is happening over there and why are no leaders stepping up the genocide its crazy
By Israel's own numbers, Hamas killed two civilians for every military casualty on October 7. This number includes Israeli civilians killed by the IDF to prevent them from becoming hostages. Since the attack, the IDF has killed far far more than two Gazan civilians for every member of Hamas they've taken out. They've leveled Gaza and corralled its population into concentration camps.
The reason there has been no peace is that Israel doesn't want peace. They are an expansionist state. They continuously expand their borders through the following method:
This is how Israel slowly expands its borders. And they're not stopping at Gaza and the West Bank. They're doing the same shit in Lebanon and Syria. Arab land today. Buffer zone tomorrow. Israeli cities and towns the day after. It's a slow claiming of Israeli lebensraum one bit at a time, and they've been doing this for decades.
Are you being sarcastic? Inform yourself in how in Israel people are being indoctrinated to completely despise Palestinians and consider them worse than rats (and I mean it, I bet a rat in a Israeli street is treated better and with more compassion than a Palestinian 4yr old in Gaza!). The bomb shelter drama pre 2024 were part of the indoctrination. Both Hezbollah and Hamas did not have projectiles that can be aim at anything and overwhelming majority ended in the dessert. I dare you find how many Israeli civilians died between 2010 and 2022... I could not find any data at all (self explanatory) but I bet more died due to a bee sting! Palestinians, however, 5,600 were killed, an increasingly in the later years, and that does not account the tens of thousands imprisoned and tortured ones, inclusive of kids that are at random picked up from the streets or in their beds to no recourse.
Why would it be any deal, one has all the power and an enabler, when not participant, international community, they other has almost nothing. Israel is the only country that I can think of that does not have to support the people that they'd invaded since 7 decades ago.
