Fuck Intel, boycott that shit
Intel has announced that it will invest $25 billion in apartheid Israel as Israel’s #GazaGenocide continues, signaling its commitment to bolstering apartheid. The company’s first development center outside the US was opened in Haifa in 1974. For decades, Intel has invested in apartheid Israel. Its plant at “Qiryat Gat” is built on Palestinian land within the boundaries of the Palestinian village of Iraq al Manshiya, which was ethnically cleansed and razed to the ground and then replaced by the Israeli settlement of Qiryat Gat.

Of course not, because those defensive weapons are still used to embolden their genocidal actions
Israel is just a new face on conflict that is ancient.
No, that’s a bullshit and an insidious myth used to justify and normalize the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
- The Birth of Israel Myths and Realities - Simha Flapan
The Zionists not only sought to colonize Palestine but, as Pappe shows, “…it also hoped to secularize the Jewish people, to invent the ‘new Jew’ in antithesis to the religious Orthodox Jews of Europe… The Orthodox Jew was ridiculed by the Zionists, and was viewed as someone who could only be redeemed through hard work in Palestine… The role of the Bible within Jewish life offered one further clear difference between Judaism and Zionism… the Bible provided ‘the myth for our right over the land.’ It was in the Bible that they read stories about Hebrew farmers, shepherds, kings, and wars, which they appropriated as describing the ancient golden era of their nation’s birth. Returning to the land meant coming back to become farmers , shepherds and kings. Thus, they found themselves faced with a challenging paradox, for they wanted both to secularize Jewish life and to use the Bible as a publication for colonizing Palestine. In other words, though they did not believe in God, He had nonetheless promised them Palestine.”
In reality, Pappe believes, “…the takeover of the West Bank in particular, with its ancient biblical sights, was a Zionist aim even before 1948 and it fitted the logic of the Zionist project as a whole. This logic can be summarized as the wish to take over as much of Palestine as possible with as few Palestinians as possible… After the occupation, the new ruler confined the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in an impossible limbo: they were neither refugees nor citizens—they were, and still are, citizenless inhabitants. They were inmates, and in many respects still are, of a huge prison in which they have no civil, and human rights and no impact on their future. The world tolerates this situation because Israel claims —and the claim was never challenged until recently—that the situation is temporary…Israel is still incarcerating a third generation of Palestinians…and depicting these mega-prisons as temporary…”

By who? The same Western Countries who are funding an apartheid ethnosupremacist state committing genocide and suppressing any resistance. They also labeled the IRA (What do you think the name Kneecap comes from), the FLN, the Vietcong, the ANC as proscribed terrorist organizations. They always label resistance groups against colonialism as terrorists. It doesn’t mean shit.
Hezbollah is also a prominent party within Lebanon’s parliamentary system, and only exists out of armed resistance against the settler colonialist actions of Israel within Lebanon.
Keeponstalin@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•I know y'all don't care but c'mon1·4 months agoYou’re arguing with people I have tagged Zionist and Liberal; who have more of an issue with a slight increase in the price of global shipping, over one of the poorest countries who have been living under a US-Saudi genocide, implementing a blockade on trade with Israel for committing genocide.
The blockade ended during the ceasefire, that’s all it takes to end the blockade. These people don’t have smoke for the unjust blockades America does like on Cuba either. A blockade to apply economic penalties to a country for committing genocide is moral and just. Just as it would’ve been to blockade trade with Nazi Germany.
Plus the US and Israel are bombing Yemeni civilians
Keeponstalin@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar likely killed in Gaza clash, officials sayEnglish1·10 months agoInside of historic Palestine, yes. Zionism has been the obstacle to peace as far back as British Occupation. Works by Ilan Pappe and Avi Schlaim, two Israeli historians, can discuss why the One-State Solution is the only real solution. The foreign affairs article also does a good job detailing why
Peace Process and Solution
Both Hamas and Fatah have agreed to a Two-State solution based on the 1967 borders for decades. Oslo and Camp David were used by Israel to continue settlements in the West Bank and maintain an Apartheid, while preventing any actual Two-State solution
How Avi Shlaim moved from two-state solution to one-state solution
‘One state is a game changer’: A conversation with Ilan Pappe
One State Solution, Foreign Affairs
Hamas proposed a full prisoner swap as early as Oct 8th, and agreed to the US proposed UN Permanent Ceasefire Resolution. Additionally, Hamas has already agreed to no longer govern the Gaza Strip, as long as Palestinians receive liberation and a unified government can take place.
During the current war, Hamas officials have said that the group does not want to return to ruling Gaza and that it advocates for forming a government of technocrats to be agreed upon by the various Palestinian factions. That government would then prepare for elections in Gaza and the West Bank, with the intention of forming a unified government.

Nazi Germany didn’t have a right to exist, nor did Apartheid South Africa, nor Rhodesia.
People have a right to exist.
Apartheid has no right to exist. Genocide has no right to exist. Ethnic cleansing has no right to exist.
You can either prioritize that people have a right to exist, or that an ethnosupremacist state committed to ethnic cleansing of native populations has the right to exist.
That is the situation. You are clearly choosing the latter. Maybe because there’s something in particular about the people being exterminated that you especially don’t like but aren’t willing to say in public?
