After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.
“Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.
Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named “Colonization Commission”, “Jewish Colonial Trust” and the like.
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called “zionism”, was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe.
And capitalist governments work for the interests and profit of capitalists rather than workers as is the reason for the genocide here (keeping the middle east unstable and unable to unite against imperialism with a colony right in the middle of Africa and Asia), so yes that does matter.
you are grossly misinterpreting actions of several governments as american… israel was established post wwii for quite a few people with quite a few reasons.
even if you wanted to mangle the definition of colony, Israel would still be a former colony and a sovereign nation now.
but, what are your feelings about russia’s genocide in ukraine?
Love how you ignore everything they said and bring up something completely unrelated to derail the conversation lmao
Edit: but, what are your feelings about the us colony’s genocide in palestine?

Because they are exposing your hypocrisy?
It’s always funny to me how .ml users do these mental gymnastics every time they get called out and then throw around the “how dare you” faux outrage.
I say funny, but it’s more sad how frequent and predictable it’s become lately.
So youre saying we should stop sending arms and money to Russia?
Wait, no that can’t be it, so we should send arms and money to Palestine? Based AF
But to be serious though, the difference is a country has not brought up formal accusations of genocide in Ukraine before the ICJ. Also:![](https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/f5a9dfb9-7953-4322-ab80-743bf90bb64c.png)

NOONE in this comment thread is denying the genocide of Palestine. They are both genocides. The fact that you guys can’t see that shows this huge fucking blindspot you have.
You invent your own narratives that don’t exist and attack the strawmen to justify your nonexistent battle, and when confronted with a piece of reality you guffaw and act like your staring at the banality of evil.
With that said, let’s be honest, if the .ml users that do this were truly after socialist / communist ideals, you’d be consistent and not astroturf for your fascist flavors of the month.
I think I disagree with this.
Puerto Rico is a colony. There’s a very clear difference in how the empire treats colonies and how it treats extensions of itself. Israel, rather than being a colony, is actually just an extension of the US empire. It’s like the 51st state, it’s an equal partner in the imperial project.
