  • Peaceful coexistence within a free Palestinian state, not "peaceful coexistence" of so-called two states or "peaceful coexistence" within an Israeli apartheid state. The possibility of peaceful coexistence only exists if Israel ceases to exist and the colonization stops, and I think it would be pretty generous to Zizek to assume that's what he meant here.

  • Unfortunately it's not good, it's useless. It only applies to the southern part. The infrastructure has been destroyed, and there's no way to pump the water into towers because the electricity is off, or to treat the water in any way. Desalination plants are still offline, so no potable water from them. This is purely signalling for people outside of Palestine to give them an excuse to defend the continuing genocide.

  • Specifically singling out babies to me read as a bioessentialist take

    While you're correct that it would normally make sense to read it that way, the only reason anyone is talking about babies at all is that the IOF invented a story about "40 beheaded babies" and then immediately said they would not investigate it or provide any evidence. Given that context, I don't think it necessarily makes sense to interpret it as bioessentialist, but rather as an angry (incorrect) reaction to all of the "Hamas are evil baby killers" propaganda.

    To clarify, this is not meant to justify the removed comment which was deranged regardless. Just because the evil settler genocide army is making things up about killing babies, that doesn't suddenly mean that killing babies is good.

  • Technically it's a statement of fact, but it's an attempt to launder the opinion of some random guy no one has heard of or cares about as if it represents an objective reality that students were in danger. The author makes no attempt to justify it; we're just supposed to believe that the headmaster was correct. It's either bad writing or sleezy, your call.

    UK gammons being freakish racists also has absolutely nothing to do with Palestine or Palestinians.

  • It's correct that if you oppose

    and understand the geopolitical context, you'll be in the top right, so that quadrant makes sense in the context of those who oppose
    .

    It's also basically a gigachad meme, so I think it's meant to be self-flattering.
