four months ago I had a Destiny fan advise me to focus my ire on what Israel's doing in the West Bank since it was "comparatively uncomplicated" and "obviously bad"
Israel forcefully displaces people living in communities in the West Bank [which human beings are deemed "illegal"?], razes trees and land, and then sets up walls surrounding their own little utopian "community" where only Israelis can live. Unfortunately we cannot oppose this, as it is exactly the same as immigration, and the fact that the entire process oppresses other human beings does not matter, as we would then be calling the specific human beings "illegal" and not the process used.
Disgusting weasley word play and this devil should be shot.
Ask that Destiny fan now what they think of their daddy’s comment.
edit:
then why is he picking a fight about either of these thingsWell, thank you for trying I guess. If you wanna keep it up, you can try "immigrants aren't the same as settlers backed by a violent settler colonial state - the state is illegal; humans are not." but I doubt that would work.
The logic I'm trying to use is that the state, in this case, Israel, but in the past, America, Canada and other settler colonial states, are illegal in their attempts to colonize, displace, and genocide the native populations of the land (whether the laws of the time reflect that or not - even then, Israel's West Bank settlements are still illegal). And morally, there is a difference between "illegal immigrants" crossing borders made by these settler colonial states vs. these settlers taking over indigenous land with the backing of a violent state apparatus.
Like, Omar's statement, "no humans are illegal" can even apply to the Israelis in the West Bank provided there is no backing (no state/private funding, no military/police protection) of those settlers and it isn't accompanied by the simultaneous denial of that statement (no humans are illegal i.e. worth living, protecting) to the Palestinians living in West Bank. This is clearly not the case. There is a double standard here, i.e. apartheid. That's why comparing West Bank settlements to immigrant in the US or other countries is a false dichotomy.
What a lack of class consciousness does to a fucker.
"No human being is illegal!!" I shout as I break into Destiny's house, loot his possessions, imprison his children, and force him from the property by waving an AK in his face.
I'm reading it as being sarcastic? But idk if he's being sarcastic being a land leech.
A special fuck you to AOC who's an op who'll speak out of both sides of her mouth with some pablum about how everyone's valid :) and then sweetie you don't understand you HAVE to vote for Biden or the big meanie will come back even though Biden is literally saying not everyone is valid.
You get my point though I hope, she is or isn't her whole thing is to siphon off more revolutionary libs and redirect them back into electorialism.
