The Knesset’s motion supporting the annexation of the West Bank signals Israel’s intention of formalizing what it has already been doing at an accelerated pace since October 7 — establishing total Israeli control over Palestinian land.

      I have so much family in Israel and I’m so fucking tired of hearing them lie to me or themselves about how this isn’t a genocide or how it’s justified if it is one. I’m tired of them gaslighting me and saying that I’m too stupid, the media I watch is too stupid, or that everyone else are liars.

      I’m sure nowhere near as tired as the Palestinians are of getting fucking slaughtered for decades.

      I’m so proud of my cousins who dissent.

    It means this was their plan the entire time. We already knew this. You don’t genocide an entire country if you don’t plan on stealing it afterwards. They’re a bunch of rat-fuck bastards.

    For the future courts, this handy quote from the trial of Gaultier Artur Greiser, SS-Obergruppenführer. He was tried, convicted and executed by hanging in Poland in 1946 for his crimes, most notably genocide.

    The Supreme National Tribunal did not enter into an analysis of the law regarding the substance of this submission, but stated generally in its Judgment that it regarded the incorporation of the western Polish territories as criminal.

    (…) it was carried out in violation of all the postulates and rules of The Hague Conventions which Germany herself agreed upon. It was a caricature of military administration as understood by international law, carried out in violation of the rights of the local population.
