Iranian-German Photographer Asked to Apologize for Saying “Free Palestine”: The German Photographic Society called Shirin Abedi’s award acceptance speech “dogmatic fanaticism” and “anti-Israeli
  • Maybe some people agree with your stance on the territory.(I use the UN declaration of where the occupation is illegal). Nevertheless germans cannot argue that its anti israel, since they have to recognize that the occupation is illegal in the 'occupied territories' which are not usually defined as all of israel furthermore you cannot be an occupier of your own territory so since germans recognize israel your argument would not apply to them. But i agree that if the whole territory was considered as under occupation(which it almost never is) you would be right.

  • Advocating against occupation doesn't mean that you are against the state. When you criticize US for its war crimes, perhaps you only wish to stop them from committing the war crimes. This is more like the foundation of responsible patriotism. Not being servile anytime the newly elected war criminal wishes to commit more crimes. It just depends what kind of state do you want yours to be. In the case of apartheid, fighting for its abolishment is also fighting for democracy. Although I understand that this nonservility to criminal governments has always been difficult for germans.

  • What about Sudan? The new talking point to distract from Israel's Gaza horrors
  • Yes clearly western popular media is so afraid of being islamophobic. It's not that it's concerned about being labeled antisemitic at all. The good folks at ADL, AIPAC and the us government are truly careful about their treatment of the palestinian genocide and do their fullest not to cover up or even at times boast about israeli war crimes. I think that in case of saudis its laughable to argue that the lack of critique stems from being afraid of appearing islamophobic. We are manufacturing the genocide in yemen and palestine. Concerning china are you kidding? All the articles criticizing china are either south china see or uyghurs. Everything else is of the format: some chinese success, major threat for us good folks(in case we didnt know to be chauvinist before)

  • UK to lend Ukraine an additional £2.26bn for weapons to fight Russia
  • Well in the us case and precisely Vietnam, it would not be difficult to show that blacks were disproportionately drafted. The treatment of blacks could then be argued to be intentional. In the case of Ukraine I agree with the mass murder wording, for genocide I think that intent needs to be shown. So zelensky would need to intentionally kill the citizens(as in that being the goal), instead of 'just' using them like cheap meat for the machine.

  • Ukrainian men dragged away outside Kyiv nightclubs and restaurants by army recruiters
  • Let's not forget that most countries also have constitutions. The citizens constitutional rights cannot be overshadowed by draft. Therefore forcible totalitarian draft is not legal. Here it's problematic because sovereign legal institutions are non existent in Ukraine and lets admit that in many states legal institutions would crumble when defending citizens rights against violent governments.

  • Former Stasi officer jailed for 10 years over 1974 Berlin border shooting
  • Doesn't Polish border patrol newly have the right to shoot at any illegal immigrants attempting to cross? See the crime isn't shooting a human being, the crime for which many stasi members were sentenced was not being properly chauvinist.

  • Columbus was a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe, study finds
  • I'm sorry you seem quite misinformed. 1. By predenting not to know which natives I'm talking about. 2. By having issues with blaming also catholics for colonialism? If you have not studied the matter perhaps don't show your lack of knowledge. Christianity and colonialism by Howitt is mentioned by Marx in capital. Howitt begins by noting that it was primarily papal bull, which in the eyes of catholics legitimized the division of america. It stole the land from under the natives. Then he goes to describe individual colonies, and the treatment of natives. Good read.
