the founding of israel is an ethical quagmire i’ve mostly forgotten, but the PLO folding + intifada becoming the main resistance method (so late 80s) marked when self-defence defo stopped applying. since then, it’s been straight oppression oppression is rooted in power imbalance

important enough to explain for whomever doesn’t get it

the nature of israeli ethnic cleansing is much clearer in the west bank, not gaza, cos there’s no terrorist resistance muddying the water

(not that said resistance absolves the situation in gaza either) https://twitter.com/yanisvaroufakis/status/1731989957982474356

settlement building was the first real wtf moment in my education. cos i’d graduated gcse history (which covered up to 1994), gone off to study maths, went to a talk at uni about this just to get an update on recent history (in ~2014), and was like HUH?!??
