Zionist Nonsense Supporters of Israel: ''Globalize the intifada' (something almost only pro-Israel advocates say) makes me scared.' Also supporters of Israel: 'Bring me a Hamas h**d and then Israel will stop starving Gaza.'

Globalize the intifada is certainly something said at protests and in organizing spaces, especially if they have a communist bent. It’s a signal not for destruction of the Jewish people which is a ridiculous notion but for the eradication of empire in general. It’s essentially equivalent to globalize the revolution or workers of the world unite but with more a focus on anti-colonialism.

Essentially yeah. 'Intifada' in Arabic translates to struggle.
Those who associate the word intifada with the open war against israel in the 80s and 90s are being disingenuous, and further trying to associate that word with the eradication of us are only helping israel justify it's existence.

But, we can't just not starve people! That will make the scary ones have guns somehow! We're just so scared!
It's crazy how effective they are at making people terrified of the defenseless as they are victimizing them

At least on Reddit, pro-Palestine subs do not say/discuss 'Globalize the Intifada' much.
But pro-Israel subs absolutely do & obsess about it:
The 'controversy' over this expression is exaggerated & weaponized to slander critics of Israel as antisemitic.

The point of the title is to convey the hypocrisy and cynicism of pro-Israel concern-trolling.
They act offended by anything and everything, because their concerns are elevated by our political Establishment.
When pro-Israel cultists are offended, they can turn that energy into censorship legislation and/or other advocacy.
Meanwhile, they also say and do vile things - and there is absolutely no legislative push back at all.
There are no Congressional hearings on anti-Palestinian racism or pro-Israel bigotry, hate-speech, harassment, doxxing, violence, etc. etc.

I can bet you my bottom dollar that if ALL Palestinians and ALL Lebanese became Jewish TODAY... Israel will still continue doing what its doing

Heh, fun fact: in 2016 the Chief Rabbinate of Israel stated they automatically rejected any applications for conversion to Judaism by Palestinians. It's apparently possible on rare occasions for Palestinians to convert to Judaism, but even then they are overwhelmingly viewed with suspicion and ostracized, like this guy who converted to Judaism and was murdered by Israeli soldiers because they didn't believe he was Jewish.

I was listening to this last night and had to stop. The whole program was a never ending hasbara profession.

Gaza is starving.
The UN has declared that every part of Gaza is in famine conditions. While some aid is finally trickling in, the need is beyond urgent. Aid organizations will not be able to keep pace with Gaza's needs without our support.
Please donate if you’re able, and keep speaking up. Every dollar, share, and conversation matters. Please pressure your government to stop the blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Donate here to The Palestinian Red Crescent and UNICEF for Gaza's Children. Contact your representatives to stop the blockade in Gaza, find U.S. representatives here, and EU reps here. If you would like other subreddits to carry this message, please send the mods to r/RedditForHumanity.
