    oh, somehow it’s georestricted? dafuq… Anyways better links/sources are available in the other reply.

    What I meant to say was that site gives qatar’s views on everything, and have a vested interest in making it look like the west is completely unable to recognize gaza and such

    But the Western nations, who engineered the settler-colony currently occupying Palestine, is incapable of recognizing Palestine. All the recent news about the West recognizing Palestine aren’t actually in any way meaningful when A) they’ve propped up and maintained the settler-colony for decades and continue to do so, while also recognizing the Euroanglo-Zionazi settler-colony that they themselves manufactured and B) the recognition itself is under the condition that Hamas is dissolved or anything to that effect.

    No research, no right to speak.

    Tell us exactly where Al Jazeera is wrong, tell us exactly what an unbiased news outlet is like and what an unbiased view of Palestine is supposed to be. No research, no right to speak.

    nobody is arrested unless they commit an actual crime [in Fr*\nce]

    Is using the word “intifida” a criminal act and therefore should be followed up with an arrest?

    Is it a crime to resist occupation and settler-colonialism that is also worthy of being locked up for 40 years?

    Should students be dragged on the ground by police on their way to the car for the crime of invoking their “strongly-protected right to strike”?

    I don’t know how you claim to see Pro Palestine protests and activism but don’t even know half the shit that the Fr*\nch state carries out under the banner of “protecting democracy”, and also somehow have the guts to claim China doesn’t have the conception of Right to Protest. No research, no right to speak.

    liberation.fr and lemonde are news sites that are pro-palestine

    These “news sites” use the terms “war on Gaza” and “Israel-Hamas War/Conflict” to pretend as if it’s a playing-level field of two equally matching opposing militaries and to downplay genocide. They are also owned by bougies whose shared material interest is keeping the settler-colony alive. No research, no right to speak.

    Citations needed on the Hong Kong stuff. Championing universalizing ideals of “both the West and China are equally imperialistic and bad” is a reaction so meek, so infantile, that it doesn’t actually ideologically and materially go against Western hegemony or imperialism. Therefore, by also considering the other things you’ve opined, it makes you a lib.

    No research, no right to speak.

  • Samsuma@lemmy.mltoPalestine@lemmy.ml•Louisiana immigration judge orders Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil deported to Syria or Algeria

    The order specifies deportation to either Syria, where Khalil was born to Palestinian refugee parents, or Algeria, from which he holds citizenship through a distant relative. Comans justified the dual destinations under statutes governing removal of stateless persons and nationals of more than one country. Sending Khalil to Syria may well be a death sentence. As for Algeria, he possesses no meaningful ties to that country.

    “Just send em back anyhow! There ain’t a difference where”

    Death to Amerikkka and the Euroanglo-Zionazi entity. Send the settler judge back to Europe while it’s going down too.

    They’re not genetically or intrinsically evil, and I haven’t seen anyone in lemmy (.ml, .hexbear or grad’) thus far suggest the idea if that’s what was meant by socialist spaces (if not, ignore this part)…

    Europeans’ “uniquely evil” part are in thanks to their geography and other material conditions, which were largely shaped by wrecking and disfiguring more than half the planet (so basically both, but the latter cyclically enriches the former and neither are compartmentalized if that makes sense).

    So naturally, reactions from leftist spaces to this will vary, an overwhelming majority of which are absolutely reasonable. It doesn’t help their case that Europe, with spearheading by the U.S., a settler-colony of their creation that they do not attribute as a settler-colony (settler-colonialism + time = totally legitimate state), continues to deprave and violate the sovereignty of the majority of the Global South via invasions, debt-traps, and genocide today.

    On a socio-economic level, Europeans, including European settlers from e. g. the U.S. and the Commonwealth mind you, are also afforded privileges and treats that are just beyond the scope of imagination for many people in the Global South.

    Today, Europeans generally can travel almost anywhere in the world (with a red carpet and open arms), they have almost an unlimiting access to healthcare, education, technology, food security, shelter etc… limited only by their states’ dwindling colonial reach, they can pursue whatever interests they may have, they can commit crimes within and outside their borders with punishment ranging from next to nothing to a slap on the wrist compared to crimes commited by non-white people (even when sentencing is given by a Global South country!), they do not have to justify their presence amongst the “others” (if the questions “Why are you here?” and “Why did you come here?” seem familiar, you’ll know what I mean), they do not have the same uphill struggle of having to dispel hundreds of years of actively harmful mischaracterizations and racist depictions of your place of origin/ethnicity (e.g. Orientalism) every time they interact with someone unfamiliar with their background (and there a lot of someones to go through), you get the idea.

    There are also two (of the sameish) things that aren’t necessarily unique to Europe, but their variant are absolutely 100x detestable over anything I’ve seen: European denialism and whitewashing. I’m talking about things ranging from softer rose-tintedness like “these aren’t applicable to country X in Europe because it isn’t a Western European country” / “My [European] country doesn’t fit in this description” that we already see in this thread to “[European country] had to save them from their barbarism, actually” are precisely the type of white people that will continue to drive anyone so much as empathetic to anti-colonial struggles nuts.

    My point is: Europeans that understand their position, privileges and relation to the Global South and actively seek to dismantle capitalism, centimeter by centimeter, and not just for their own sake, unquestionably exist, which gives no room to the idea of ontological evil.
