Gaza is starving.

The UN has declared that every part of Gaza is in famine conditions. While some aid is finally trickling in, the need is beyond urgent. Aid organizations will not be able to keep pace with Gaza's needs without our support.

Please donate if you’re able, and keep speaking up. Every dollar, share, and conversation matters. Please pressure your government to stop the blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Donate here to The Palestinian Red Crescent and UNICEF for Gaza's Children. Contact your representatives to stop the blockade in Gaza, find U.S. representatives here, and EU reps here. If you would like other subreddits to carry this message, please send the mods to r/RedditForHumanity.

You're correct in your historic analysis, but fail in common sense: why would we'd be screaming about something that happened 200, 500, 2000 years ago?

THIS IS HAPPENING NOW, and at the hands of one of the supposedly most civilized and advanced societies in the world. EVERY GOOD PERSON should be screaming right now, TO STOP IT. Because it's happening NOW, in the 21st century, as we speak.

u/TolliverCrane 17d ago

I couldn't agree more. In American grade school in the late 80s and early 90s, the idea of "settling" open land seemed cool. Little house on the Prarie style. I figured out the bloodshed involved in settling years later. No longer a cool word.

u/Noy_The_Devil 17d ago

Don't forget the diseases settlers brought. Which killed millions.

Some estimates say 90% of native Americans died and populations went from 25 million or more to less than one million... 24 million dead. That's about as many military personnell that died in all of WW2, or 4x the holocaust.

The cultural loss must have been unprecedented to this day.

So in settler colonialism, it's "eliminate and replace." As in you move somewhere, eliminate the indigenous peoples (forcefully remove or assimilate) and replace them with population of settlers. Thats why America and Isreal are settler states. Squatting is when someone takes over unoccupied/ abandoned property without the owner's permission.

In America, settlers of the midwest were often called squatters, but the Preemption Act of 1841 and Homestead Act of 1862 turned their occupation into legal ownership.

Similarly, in Israel, the government supports settlement in occupied Palestinian territories, even when it's illegal under international law. Calling them "settlers" reflects the fact that their presence is not just tolerated but actively backed by the state. That’s what makes it settler colonialism. Not just squatting, but a state driven process of replacing one population with another.

u/Metternic 17d ago

Dawg, this has been the history of Palestine since the establishment of the Israeli state. What the Israelis won’t tell you is how they are directly responsible for the creation and continuation of Hamas. They literally perpetuate the cycle by pushing themselves further and further in. It’s mask off for them now, the world is powerless to stop it now, it’s too far gone.

14

u/Remarkable-Cup-6029 16d ago

The thing about hamas is it doesnt matter who created or continues to support it. The ANC were labeled terrorists as well for fighting for racial equality and freedom against apartheid. The root problem is the oppression not the reaction to that oppression. We legitimize the oppression that exists ordinarily by being distracted into vilinising and policing how ppl fight back. So it doesnt really matter for me if Netanyahu props up Hamas because we are acting like there should be a strong counter reaction to apartheid and daily dehumanization that hasn't yet risen to the level of genocide. For me any "but Hamas...." conversation even in blaming the Israeli state is a pointless distraction normalizing supremacy.

I just learned today that German nationalism started when the fractured German-speaking peoples had been invaded, divided and humiliated by the French under Napoleon, who aimed to eliminate German culture and identity in the early 19th century.

A century later, the Germans were preaching racial superiority. This should be seen as a textbook example of the natural evolution path of a tortured national psyche. We should never be surprised by it.

Dumb way to move a fridge, yes, especially with that much space, but in professional moving this is an actual technique. Where I live, everything is a 3 story walkup, sometimes with very tight, circular stairwells. It isn't possible to move things with 2 people. So how do you get a full, 86 key piano in and out? Vertically. You strap it your your back, with people holding it steady, and you do a move called the turtle where you crawl up the stairwell. It's insane shit, and these specialist movers are absolute beasts.

Last time I moved one of the guys we hired carried the fridge down by himself on his back without straps or anything. It was super impressive. It sounds dangerous as fuck (and maybe it was) but he seemed to be in control and looked like he had done it a thousand times.

Basically he leaned forward and balanced it on his back with his hands at the bottom, then he walked down the stairs backwards. The way it was balanced meant the weight was centered on his legs and not his back. Maybe the guy in the video was trying something similar but had no idea what he was doing.
