  • To simply imagine Palestine without settlers, to simply imagine a sky without drones—that, in the Zionist imagination, is genocidal. If you stick with the “want” of the charge, the notion that Palestinians want to kill all Jews, you find that Zionism is at war with our future. It is at war with our ability to articulate, even if only through poems and protest chants, a future in which Zionism does not reign. For in the past 100 years, Zionism has situated us in a condition of constant dispossession and premature death; our Nakba remains and renews. We are besieged in an inescapable, eternal present tense.

  • How did this get 5 upvotes lol

  • I‘d be down for that. Don’t know how though. I think the EU is a great idea but as it currently is it’s not very democratic in a sense that too many things can be just handled via backroom deals vs true democratic processes.

  • Dude it’s not my problem if you don’t understand how the EU works. Apart from that I gave all the facts in another reply and if you wanna argue feel free to answer there.

  • No we do not get to elect the president of the EU commission and honestly I’m too lazy to dig through all the corrupt CDU shit so just check my answer to the other commenter, it’s very easy to verify what I’m saying.

  • Really too lazy to research all the corrupt CDU shit so here’s perplexity for you:

    Some people say the 2019 election of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission was “rigged” or illegitimate because it bypassed the established Spitzenkandidaten (lead candidate) process, which had been championed by the European Parliament as a way to make EU leadership more democratic and transparent[4][6][3].

    Instead of selecting a candidate who had campaigned as a lead candidate in the European Parliament elections, EU leaders—especially Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron—chose von der Leyen as a compromise behind closed doors. This sidelined the Parliament’s preferred candidates, Manfred Weber and Frans Timmermans, who had actually campaigned as Spitzenkandidaten[4][6]. The decision was seen by many as a betrayal of voters who had turned out in record numbers, expecting that the lead candidate principle would be respected[6].

    Critics, including former European Parliament President Martin Schulz, described von der Leyen as a “fake” lead candidate and argued that allowing her to become Commission President without being a Spitzenkandidat was a mistake[4]. This led to perceptions that the process was manipulated or “rigged” to favor backroom deals over democratic legitimacy. The controversy was compounded by the fact that von der Leyen won the Parliament’s vote by only a slim margin, with significant opposition from Greens and Socialists who felt their candidates had been unfairly overlooked[5][7][6].

  • She was involved in some other corruption scandal and had to leave German politics. As a reward Merkel promoted her to her current position iirc. Elections in the EU seem pretty rigged and I hope she has to finally go.

  • Euronews got bought by some Orban linked VC firm recently. While they claim independence a slow degradation of their journalist standards wouldn’t be surprising imo.

  • Meh, Eurovision is dead for me since they let Israel participate despite committing genocide and singing songs every year that are totally not political. Disgusting propaganda platform

  • I think people might be misreading your comment and you’re actually criticizing the festival hosts not the band right?

    I find it ridiculous to invite e.g. Irish bands and then be surprised that they take a stance against genocide and colonization. To me it’s really a badge of honor for anyone to get canceled for being pro-Palestine.

  • Badge of honor

  • Thanks! Tough to do it sometimes but I don’t want this to become like Reddit or leave the narrative to people who dismiss anything they don’t like to hear as fake news. It’s enough that Trump made this a thing, I don’t think we need it here, especially in this case where imo there was never any evidence for this being fake news and now there’s indeed more articles.

  • Zionism is an ethno-nationalist death cult, just like Nazism. There is no excuse for being a Nazi or Zionist in 2025. I don’t know how people like you can look in the mirror and think they’re good people. I don’t know how you can genuinely love anyone or anything when you’re so emotionally crippled that shredding babies for the sake of Zionist Lebensraum seems like a good idea to you.

    Your Lebensraumprojekt needs to end, as soon as possible. Stop playing the victim card while you’re victimizing millions of Palestinians through GENOCIDDE, while you’re being simply called out on supporting an apartheid ethno-state that is wiping out every living being in Gaza as we speak and expanding that to the West Bank currently.

  • So will you redact now that it "could be misinformation“ or are you just gonna leave it there as alternative facts, Fox News style?

  • It comes from a credible journalist who explicitly names the four victims and quotes their real, existing lawyer who has defended similar cases before.

    This is the typical Zionist playbook of spreading lies until we moved on to the next topic, and by the time it turns out to be true everyone already forgot about the issue. Don’t forget that they just did a 20-fold increase to $150m for their Hasbara botfarm. It wouldn’t be surprising if they also showed up here already. Also lots of new accounts here spreading Zionist propaganda.

  • Yes everything is Hamas, obviously. What a load of BS. Give me one example of a "pro-Hamas" statement and in English please so that everyone can get an idea of your agenda. You Zionists are monsters, Zionism is irredeemable and history won’t fare well of people like you.

  • Says who?

  • Then it must be fake news and the >1000 people that got killed since the end of the ceasefire and the deliberate mass starvation of the people in Gaza who have to survive on a bowl of rice per day, all that isn’t happening right?

    Because I don’t see any news about that at all by our oh so holy liberal left wing academic journalists. The bubble you live in is pathetic, don’t make it sound like all of us in Germany are as bigoted and blind to the amount of suffering our political and media elites are causing to the Palestinians through constant dehumanization and outright support of the genocide against them. I hate to live in the same country as people like you.

    Absolutely not true. Listen to this interview if you wanna get an accurate picture (unfortunately in German but there should be AI generated subtitles). The situation is grim.

    The reality is that the news are probably true, and it’s quite common that people will either gaslight or simply not give a fuck. Germany went absolutely fascist, it’s a terrible situation. Even "left-wing" newspapers like TAZ aren’t very left wing when it comes to Palestinians. Your typical liberal German academic will deny this but who’s even asking them anymore?
