@MicroWave@lemmy.world a gentle reminder. Please do try to keep count of how many articles you post in this community per day.

Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

I don’t think that’s really the point. The point is that Israel is killing civilians including children, not soldiers.

It could be true that she broke the law.

Breaking the law on this topic is not hard in France, since unfortunately it is part of the (post)colonial countries that equate anti-zionism with antisemitism.

So criticizing the settler colonial state of Israel can mean you break the law, without taking into consideration that Zionism is a political movement that has been criticized by Jews since its inception. Jewish voice for Peace have a great article about it: Our Approach to Zionism. And they are not the only ones.

Or supporting that Palestinians have human rights like any other person on this planet - like to be against Israel’s apartheid for example - is considered terrorism, more often than not.

Please, let’s not be so quick to defend France or any colonial country

Edit: A relavant article. It’s in relation to the Lellouche law, from Haaretz - BDS a Hate Crime? In France, Legal Vigilance Punishes anti-Israel Activists

Ban Apartheid Israel from Sports

Palestinian players and athletes are routinely attacked, imprisoned and killed. Athletes are denied freedom of movement to attend their own matches, competitions and trainings. Palestinian stadiums and sports infrastructures have been bombed and destroyed. Israel even prevents sports equipment from being imported and sports facilities from being developed.

Racism against Palestinians is institutionalized in Israeli sports – from segregated youth football leagues to anti-Palestinian hate from fan clubs that goes routinely unpunished.

In addition, Israeli football and basketball clubs based in illegal settlements are allowed to compete in official Israeli leagues, making international governing bodies FIFA and FIBA complicit in Israel’s violations of international law.

Despite all this, Western dominated sports bodies have looked the other way, refusing to take action. More than 300 Palestinian sports clubs and dozens of civil society organizations are calling to #BanIsrael from the Olympics. Join us as we seek to ban Israel from international sports forums, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and FIFA, until it ends its grave crimes against Palestinians and its attacks on Palestinian sports.

I suppose a more accurate title would be:

“IDF unsuccessfully tries to distance itself from ‘no return’ remarks about north Gaza evacuees”

You’re totally right, legality should not be a concern in cases like that.

What I liked in this article is that it gives examples of actions on several levels, and I think this is important because a tone of things need to be done to effectively fight fascism in societies.

I need evidence

Maybe The dawn of everything: A new history of humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow could be a nice start?

Coincidentally, I’m also queer, an immigrant most of my life (since childhood actually and in several places), and I am most probably neurodivergent, but never had the money to check this out officially.

I think understand what you say. Still, the way I see things if we do a statement/analysis mentioning humans I believe we are condemned to arrive to the wrong conclusions if we only take into account the dominant civilization/culture. Or see things through its narrative.

I’m not saying to discard its importance. I’m just saying it’s equally important to take into consideration broader inputs through time and space, to try to have a clearer picture.

Something like that.

No, I don’t agree with this at all. It tells us something about capitalism. It tells us something about how the U.S. are nowadays. Nothing more, nothing less.

Please do keep in mind that Zionists and Jews are not synonyms. Jews have been opposing Zionism since its inception and keep doing so in large numbers. See also:

Our Approach to Zionism - JVP - Jewish Voice for Peace

Jewish Voice for Peace is guided by a vision of justice, equality and freedom for all people. We unequivocally oppose Zionism because it is counter to those ideals.

They also know what collaborating with the Nazis is like.

I haven’t heard about this before, so I can’t argue about it at this point.

Then you say:

So I don’t think Armenia’s decision will have much of an effect.

How you managed to draw this conclusion from your previous statement, is a mystery to me.

And since you mentioned Nazi collaborations, I’ll say the following. I noticed that the sources you provided the one is Zionist and the other Polish, and both collaborated with Nazis for sure.

Zionist-Nazi Collaboration and the Holocaust-A Historical Aberration? Lenni Brenner Revisited - Edinburgh University Press

How Zionists collaborated with the Nazis, in conversation with Tony Greenstein | EI Podcast

we speak with activist and blogger Tony Greenstein, a veteran of the Palestine solidarity movement in the UK, about his new book “Zionism During the Holocaust: The Weaponization of Memory in the Service of State and Nation.”

Armenians know what genocide means.

So it looks that the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations. Hope I’m counting correctly and didn’t leave out a country, cause it looks like the relevant wiki page [International recognition of the State of Palestine] has not yet been updated. Not even for Ireland’s recognition of Palestine and that happened last month. Soon I hope.

For me the question remains. What could make the remaining white colonialists and Zionist settler colonialists change their minds and finally recognize Palestine, so that a 2-state solution is implemented.

There are no US military bases in Cyprus.

They have, at least according to the

List of American military installations - wiki

Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (Cyprus)

• RAF Akrotiri

I suppose the above could also be a reply for Billy@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

And there’s been no hints for participating any further

They have US military bases there and that’s why Lebanon made that threat, and more specifically Nasrallah said:

“The Cypriot government must be warned that opening Cypriot airports and bases for the Israeli enemy to target Lebanon means that the Cypriot government has become part of the war and the resistance (Hezbollah) will deal with it as part of the war” [source]

Also you said:

Imagine yelling at someone who’s only ever done positive things for your people.

I’m sorry but this example is irrelevant. The threat does not come from Palestine, it comes from Lebanon.

Cyprus was caught off guard by comments from Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday that the island could be a target if it permitted Israel to use its military facilities in the event of an attack on Lebanon.

So Cyprus was caught off guard because they were told “if we get attacked from your soil, you could be a target”. This doesn’t sound very complicated, why are they perplexed?
