Help I’m new to settler colonialism, is it bad when I’m fighting a war on 3 fronts and have 2 separate domestic uprisings in a week?
No it’s a sign that you’re winning because you are displaying your fearsome power.
They’ll condemn the people who storm bases to not enlist, but they won’t condemn the people who storm police stations to protect rapists.
The haredis are fascinating; how is it that you are so religious that you won’t join the genocidal army, but not enough to move somewhere else?
Aren’t many of them descendants of Jews who lived peacefully in Palestine before Zionist settlement?
the ‘orthodox’ movements emerged from the ashkenazi so the ones in palestine are zionist, but there’s a variety of views on the state and violence—some don’t like the state because its too secular, some actually oppose the violence on palestinians, some want to get all the benefits of being settlers without raising arms.
Most Haredim are not zionist.
Edit: and not all Haredim are Ashkenaz either… Especially in Israel. There’s Sephardic and Mizrahi haredim as well.
Edit 2: are you Jewish? This is just straight up false.
Technically alot of Palestinians are secretly Samaritans who converted to Islam apparently and technically the Samaritans are actually the best monotheists because they didn’t get sucked into the Jerusalem power struggle even when it first started. I’d love to be corrected lol.
Haredi don’t tend to migrate in large numbers, and the last big wave was in the 50s. Most of them were born there. Their parents + grandparents + great grandparents mostly moved there either during Mandatory Palestine or right after Israel was established as a state. Most of the Jews moving to Israel recently are American and European reform/conservative Jews.
Most Haredi oppose Zionism as like a core principle. They think that only the Messiah can establish Israel, not humans.
But some that are born there live there for the same reason your average Death To America left type broke white person still lives in America.
If I were trying to avoid the draft I would run away from bases
