      In their perception, Britain turned against the Zionists around 1939 or so (White paper) and sided with the Arabs in opposing a Jewish state after that. So they mean “Independence” as independence from Britain.

      Americans have a tendency to think that meeting in the middle of two right-wing parties is so thoughtful and considerate of everyone's struggles, so I expect nothing less from the America brain mindset.

      Also, happy cake day!

    Modern Israel is a country that's founded by terrorism against the British that somehow managed to be not-based.

    This is that Israeli org whose main thing is liking the apartheid but thinking that maybe genocide is a step too far because some Israelis might accidentally get killed because of it right?

    "yesterday was Hitler's birthday, tomorrow is the start of Passover, reflecting the opposing narratives of 1939."

    "Acknowledgement of eachother's narratives yadda yadda" is some really disingenuous shit. It is always selectively applied. None of these ghouls are talking about acknowledging the narratives of any enemies of the empire. It is just now that many people are beginning to sympathise with an oppressed and colonised people that it is suddenly important to "acknowledge the narrative" of the oppressors.

    And even if it were being applied consistently it is a dumbas idea. All narratives are not equal, sometimes one narrative is true while another is a lie, one is a call for justice while another is an excuse for genocide.

    A positive peace in Palestine, for all ethnic and religious groups, begins with the acknowledgement of history. Treating the perpetrators as morally equals to their victims is only going to delay the necessary reckoning with the Lebensraum ideology of Zionism.
