Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
they’re communicating something about their timeframe… they’re announcing they’re about to accelerate again…
Accelerationists are begining to see seeing acceleration…
This thread is full of people who are clearly struggling with the consequences of their actions (their vote, and pushing a false narrative that Harris would be just as bad), and they are coming up with all sorts of creative ways to absolve themselves and relieve their guilt.
It seems like many have settled on “genocide can’t get worse, it can only speed up or slow down, but the end result is the same” without realizing that the distinction is meaningless. A genocide speeding up is the genocide getting worse.
Bad news for those people: it’s just going to get so much worse.
it’s astounding the number of people who don’t understand the scope of our terrifying military power. any amount of killing worldwide can be made worse. it’s extremely easy to imagine if you bother to try. but a stunning number of young people seemingly don’t know how bad things can be. and i’ve said this a few times, but all the people i’m out in the streets protesting these awful things with are people who voted. where the fuck are these people whose morals wouldn’t allow themselves to vote for a candidate supporting genocide? why aren’t they helping us, the people fighting against this? is it that their morals only exist when it’s convenient for them, when it doesn’t endanger their comfort?
could it possibly be they’re more complicit in genocide than they think but refuse to examine the truth of their actions?
