86 years ago, sirens sounded in Guernica as the Nazis carpet-bombed civilians. Today, they sound again for the Palestinian people in Gaza being slaughtered by Israel.

Amazing how there’s no media coverage of this to speak of in the West although even Times of Israel covered Guernica’s 80th anniversary.

Didn't you know? Israel is the untouchables!

You may not accuse them, or you will be called Antisemitic.

You can't use military force against them for fear of being called a Nazi.

You cannot sanction them as they control many financial institutions.

This is what happens when society crushes freedom of speech and opinions. Allows the rule of labelling-fear to prevail.

I could have created a mirror picture to the one attached of civilians lined up naked but I'll be labeled.

je pense qu’il faut ajouter que la Légion Condor est venue bombarder Guernica à la demande de Franco, qui avait besoin d’un renfort extérieur pour exterminer les poches de résistance républicaines…

@atrusriven People who were bombed by the Nazis are expressing their solidarity with people who are being bombed by Israel so I’m not contributing anything to the conversation, they are by means of their lived experience.

PS. Shooting fish in a barrel isn’t self-defense, it is blood sport.

there is quite a bit of coverage in main Spanish news. I think a problem here is that the anglosphere always act as if *their* public opinion is the same as the *global* public opinion. eldiario.es/euskadi/mundo-hist…

When it happens to brown people...it is acceptable to the west. Remember how the west allowed and sat back while Rwanda went into full on genocide...

No media coverage? I seem to live in some parallel universe...
And - BTW - what was it, that happened Oct, 7 ??
Did there happen anything at all ???
in reply to Martin Jost

@godot@muenchen.social @LALegault Yes, a bunch of Islamist barbarians murdered roughly 1,200 Israelis including ~859 civilians and took hostages.

In the time since, Israel has gone on a genocidal rampage in Gaza, murdering more than ten times the number of Palestinians (~17,000 currently), the vast majority of which are women and children.

Happy?

Now fuck off.

It's so fucking disturbing that people pretend Oct. 7th is the beginning of this conflict...

Are they all that ignorant!?

You might have seen some coverage about a gang of killer chimpanzees.

It was presented without irony.

I think most right-minded folks’ alarms have been going off for so long that they’re running out of juice.

Well thank goodness there’s a whole damn ocean between being exhausted and giving up :)

On #MSNBC, Ayman Mohyeldin devoted a good 15 minutes to it on Saturday.

just to clear my point of view: it's you who are so wrong, on so many accounts. First of all: linking the modern state of Israel to the nazis fits the worldwide accepted definition of antisemitism.
in reply to Arnau Fuentes ∴

@arfues If the modern state of Israel doesn’t want to be compared to the Nazis, it should stop acting like the Nazis.

Now go away.
