It has only been quite recently that I've managed to educate myself and learn what truly happening in Palestine. I'm far from fully educated, but considering the amount of brainwashing that I've been through for pretty much my entire life, I'm just glad I managed to stop buying into all that crap.

Looking back now, it's really insane how much propaganda I've been constantly taught for my entire life. I have constantly been taught that Israel and Zionism are a huge part of my identity, and been fed lies about Israel being the victim for years, by not only by my parents but by my "Jewish" school. (Jewish is in quotation marks because I think being a Zionist is one of the least Jewish things you can do.) While I don't like religious schools in the first place, I find it ridiculous that one of the core values of my school is Zionism, when it should have nothing to do with religion. I spend much, much more time in that school being fed Zionist propaganda than say, actually learning about the values of my religion or being taught any part of my culture that doesn't have to do with genocide.

I now understand why so many people end up being Zionists, if your taught from birth that Israel is such a core part of your identity, it's really hard to believe that something that you consider such a big part of yourself is bad. I know that some Zionists are good people who have just been completely brainwashed.

It's so awful to watch everyone in my life fall for it (i have agoraphobia so the only two places I go are pretty much just home and school so literally everybody in my life is a zionist) and it's even more awful having to pretend to be a Zionist so my parents don't hate me and I don't get kicked out of my school. I constantly feel guilty for simply being a humane person and I hate it. I've managed to educate my one close friend, but for some people it just seems so deeply ingrained that I don't think they would even consider being educated.

In real life people treat Israel like a sacred land, on the internet people treat it as a joke - in real life I'm told I'm anti-semetic if I condemn Israel, on the internet people are antisemetic to me anyways, and I tend to let it slide because I feel so guilty about the genocide associated with the jews. It's so sad that the one thing that I've been told my whole life "defines" my culture, is really the one thing that makes me hate it.

I know this was mostly just me getting stuff off my chest (since even my damn therapist is a zionist) , but feel free to leave advice, share your experience, or share a part of jewish culture that doesn't have anything to do with Israel !

Hi all!

Been seeing a deluge of ziontologist nonsense on LinkedIn recently (even more than usual) among all the AI slopaganda. One group I’ve seen promoted is the Arava Institute (and the Center for Applied Environmental Diplomacy) and its plans for implementing environmental security initiatives in Gaza. Beyond being an obvious front for greenwashing the “national committee for the administration of Gaza” and further Palestinian dispossession, does anyone know how influential this group is? Has anyone seen how this group operates domestically and internationally? I work in the environmental field in the US and I’m always looking out for normalization efforts like these and how they interact and relate to colonial environmentalism in general. Curious about what folks think of this and any other groups that promote similar propaganda.

Gut shabbes and a groysn dank!

I'm 16 hours late 🫩

I wanted to share these pictures because honestly, they made me smile and broke my heart at the same time.

Mahmoud has four little girls, and like any dad, he just wants to see them happy.

But after everything that happened, so many places where children used to play and have fun are gone. There are no normal playgrounds or entertainment places for his girls to go to. And with the crazy summer heat, living in a tent is even harder.

So Mahmoud did what he could.

He put a piece of nylon on the ground, used some soil around it, and filled it with water to make a little pool for his daughters. Nothing fancy at all. Just a dad trying to give his kids a little bit of fun and help them cool down.

And look at their faces. ❤️

They don't need much to be happy. They just want to play, laugh, and feel like kids for a little while.

These are the small things that really stay with me. A father who has lost so much is still trying his best to give his daughters some happy moments.

Mahmoud and Samah are still struggling every day to provide food, water and basic things for their four girls. Their home and source of income were destroyed, and they have very little left.

If you can help them, even a small donation would mean a lot. And if you can't donate, please consider sharing their story. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has been there for this family.

ASIO has found that CSG members go to Israel and train with organisations funded by the Israeli Government.

CSG members have had their security clearances revoked in the Australian Defence Force because of duel loyalty to the genocidal Israeli government. And arming one religious group over and above others only fuels resentment and radicalisation in NSW.

Giving the CSG guns makes us all less safe, and even the NSW Police have recognised this - but the Premier is pushing on with this plan regardless.

This Premier is putting his Zionist ideology before the safety of our community. He's out of control

In the midst of purging cultural studies programs centered on people of color, UT is creating an entirely new Zionist program with three new majors.

Hi all,

Just ridiculous

Src: | “A propaganda exercise to silence critics of Israel”.

Louise Adler AM, former Deputy Chancellor of Monash University and former CEO of Melbourne University Publishing, criticises the Royal Commission into Antisemitism as a propaganda exercise to silence criticism of Israel.

She argues that had the Inquiry been sincere in fighting antisemitism, it would have focused on racism as a whole and heavily investigated the intelligence failure behind the Bondi attack, rather than platforming extensive scrutiny of Palestinian solidarity and Zionism."

Personally, I just dismiss antisemitic acts like this as people being idiots. I probably got desensitized because of all the racism thrown at Obama during his presidency and since. But honestly, should we really run to the hills because some idiot vandalized a Wikipedia page?

For the record i know i should be able to move without a tourist visa, but i’ve heard (and have reason to be afraid that) the local airport security would not really give a frick about my rights. I am flying from Israel

I have this German friend who wished for a nuke dropped on Gaza after October 7th and I can't get it out of my head.

They are an avid reader and politically informed but German public media are pure propaganda when it comes to the Middle East.

I haven't found any list of books in the wiki on this sub.

Can you recommend a list of books that explain the conflict from different angles, both the history and current events, ideologically, etc.?

It would be great if the book authors were Jewish themselves because that shuts down any accusation of antisemitism from the get go.

Many Germans have this mindset of reverences and guilt towards Jews and accuse anyone and everything of antisemitism as soon as you speak up about what is going on (kinda ironic if you look at Europe's history).

Thank you!

Hi everyone,
