I’d describe myself as politically “center-left” and I go on the streets against the far-right in my country… Not “left” enough for the lemmy community hexbear(.)net, I guess, which banned me for “facism”.
“Advertisement”: Go to hexbear(.)net if you want to be able to say “Death to Israel” or “The situation in Gaza is like the holocaust” without getting banned. No, you even get a lot of likes and no one will say anything against that. No one will share arguments against yours. Why? Because those people will instead get banned.
At least, I have an explanation now… There is no one arguing against what is posted there, because everyone who tries, is getting banned.
Holocaust does not defend the fact that Israel is a settler state. As an Indian from the erstwhile province of Madras, we have faced artificial famines and genocide from the British colonizers. High-level British officers and politicians who did injustice on Indians were killed brutally by the Indian leftists, including bombing and shootings, and they’re still worshiped to this day as heroes.
So, by that standard, it would be hypocritical of me to see Hamas as a terrorist group. Read about Subhash Chandra Bose, Udham Singh, Bhagat Singh and other socialists from India. I see nothing wrong with their goals. Although the socialists failed to liberate India, it set the message out there for the imperialists that this territory of undivided India is not a welcoming place for the settlers.
Holocaust??
BTW: I did not even argue against the settlements argument.
I think, the main difference between us is: I’m always thinking how a solution could look like. How to end this?
A solution works only with government changes in both countries and international pressure to get a 2-state-solution. That’s my point.
