When children learn to debate in school they are not asked what side they are on and then to justify their opinion. The teacher assigns them to argue for one side or the other. That is such a massively important learning tool for life and developing an inclusive, compassionate, prepared society. Whenever anything happens we need people on either side to speak their minds so we can understand fully. We need to hear opinions we don't agree with. These days whenever something comes up, so many actively refuse to listen to the other side. Screaming for them to be silent!! As if they are terrified of the information being said out loud. Blindly following the crowd is seen as a virtue? Take the worst parts of humanity. Pedophiles, serial killers, sadists - we can agree various things are awful. But if we don't seek out and talk openly with those who DON'T believe they are awful, we cannot get the information needed to make policies and plans to keep the vulnerable safe. So for any situation or topic it is utter madness not to welcome alternate opinions and honest discourse with those who disagree with you. If Palestinians are being killed, I don't care if you think they deserve it. People like Zizek need to say "hang on. Is this right?" It shocking how much courage people must need to utter "wait a minute... " these days. People pressured into repeating whatever slogan is being Tweeted. They can't even abstain without fear of losing their jobs, families, even lives for saying words that need to be said? It's awful when Godwin's Law comes into play, but sadly the parrallels are too much in this instance. The people of Israel should know better than most the hazards of deciding a group of people deserve to die and threatening the lives of those who voice an opinion against it. Of labelling an entire race of people as evil. Removing the concept of them being individuals or even humans. Hanging guilt on all, for the actions of a few. Screaming that people have the right to kill in self defence, but not allowing anyone to ask "is it self defence?", "are they killing the right people?", "are the methods justified?", "at what point is it no longer self defence but revenge?", "is anyone independently monitoring?" A million valid, needed questions being beaten the moment their mouths are opened. Because the more vague you can keep your opinion the less chance you could be wrong.

When thinking critically you're correct, but those who demand "simple" answers aren't normally thinking that way - they are typically ideologically aligned already, and merely want their prejudices confirmed. I was speaking to an American who couldn't understand why the empire has a negative reputation abroad. I suggested he should ask the victims of its bloodthirst in places from Iraq to Korea to Gaza to Vietnam and even to the American continent itself. His response? "Yeah but they're our enemies, of course they won't like us." He didn't seem to question _why_ they were America's "enemies", or what had happened to make them so. In his mind it was as if they came into the world fully-formed opponents of "freedom". He then of course justified every atrocity nameable. That is how most people think. Indeed, it's how _all_ of us think unless we actively strive not to. And the fact that such thinking requires honing and some degree of education would be hurdle enough _without_ the addition of the sad fact that such thought is actively discouraged and even punished in a majority of social settings. Anyway, I'm also reminded of another truism I've observed: The worst war the empire fights is always the last one it's finished, and the most undeniably just war the empire fights is always the one it is presently embarking upon

@@chompythebeast I hear you, except I don't think the ethical evaluation this particular conflict requires much nuance or critical thinking. As you probably know, Israel was established via ethnic cleansing, and maintained as an apartheid state since, and I think that's about as black and white as it gets. The only complex part is what to realistically do about it at this point without resorting to committing even more injustices. I'm not entirely convinced anymore that the attitudes of people like the american you talked to are explained away by them simply being too dumb to understand nuance beyond "us good, enemy bad". I see too many people saying "good, give 'em hell" about various injustices, even when they're fully aware of why it's unjust. Lately I've been thinking alot about Peter Singer's claim that most people are what we would call evil.

They felt using the word abber meant justifying or relativizing Hamas. * The speaker argues that dialogue requires being able to say things with qualification or exception, using the word "abber". * They received hate mail accusing them of justifying Hamas both from the anti-Semitic left who see Hamas' actions as just anti-colonial struggle, and the right who unconditionally condemn Hamas. * The speaker takes satisfaction that being attacked from both sides means they are on the "right way". * They are saddened that the parts of their speech seen as problematic or relativizing came from major Western media or moderate Israeli politicians. * The speaker asks for a counterargument where they actually relativized or justified Hamas. * They point out there are over 4 million Palestinians under Israeli control and something needs to be done regarding their status and living situation. * To conclude, would you like me to explain or expand on any part of the summary?

They represent exactly what the nation of Israel and Zionism stand for. Their basis as a state is on dispossession and genocide. That's why you have "leftist" Israeli former presidents who reiterate Netanyahu's point about the necessity of genocide. That's why they have enforced a brutal apartheid on the people of Palestine for 75 years. The state cannot function without it and it is why the internal contradictions of this fact is pushing Israel to be more and more fundamentalist. The Zionist project, at it's core, is built on conceptions of supremacy and racist Western colonial ideals. And yes, this does represent Israeli sentiment - the protests are over Netanyahu breaking the courts, not over his policies vis a vi Palestinians. This is a state and nation of people who require genocide to be able to continue to function.

The problem is Zionism was a broad coalition. There were people in the Zionist movement that thought they were going to be creating a socialist utopia in Palestine, recognising the shared humanity of the people who were already living there. But instead Zionism evolved into an ethnocracy which guaranteed a quarrel with the Arabs. In other words, Zionists opted to create a Jewish state as opposed to creating a safe haven for Jews, and that could only ever happen by subjugating millions of non-Jews to a permanent underclass. 75 years later, how's that going? Are Jews any safer in Israel than Jews who are outside of Israel? I think not. I'm always struck by John Kerry's words as he walked out of office in 2017, recognising that a two-state solution is now impossible: 'Israel can choose to be a Jewish state or a democratic state, but it cannot be both.' Frankly speaking, Zionism is a dead political project. The irony is it was killed off by the most extremist of Zionists themselves. Correct me if I've got something wrong...

The Sartre quote he refers to is so spot on, where if you're being attacked from both sides of the issue you know you're basically on the path of objective truth. I've observed this with Yuval Noah Harari as well since the war started, he's been attacked from both the Hamas supporters for daring to suggest Israel has the duty to defend itself, and from the Israeli right for daring to criticise how Israel's policies have led us to this point in the first place, and for his criticism of the manner of the response. Both extreme sides are calling him an idiot who stands on the side of injustice, and that's how you know he's one of the few people with a balanced perspective on the subject. Same with Zizek.

It’s also no surprise that those with the most to lose, those with significantly more power behind them than Palestine could ever muster, are so quick to spew hate speech and obfuscate any critique or analysis before even considering the chain of events. If you can’t think materially then you’re not thinking. All you can do in that case is choose a side and pretend like you’re a critical thinker, when in reality you’re just fueled by fear.

Very well. Zizek says that the context has to be discussed in order to justify the Palestinian cause if not the horrific violence outright- well and good. But when he discusses the Israeli government's current agenda he fails to mention that Israel had 5 elections between 2019-2022 and Netanyahu only formed a coalition with extreme right winged Israeli terrorists because two left wing parties lost over 500k votes and were left out of the government because of political infighting and that this government cannot be said to represent an Israeli consensus, even though Zizek attributes this position to Israel as a whole. According to the most recent polls, roughly 70-80% of Israelis do not support this government, its actions or its positions.

No one should care about what Israeli has to say about this conflict, good or bad. Israeli citizens do not deserve a voice here until the balance of power between the two sides have been established. Until Hamas and Israel can fight on equal footing, there is no reason to talk about Hamas at all (this is where Zizek is also mistaken btw). Palestinians, terrorist or otherwise, do not have any power here. Any single death that happen in those lands is a responsibility of Israel and it's citizens as a whole

Honestly, it was wise not to speak on behalf of Hamas even, like, 5 years ago. There were instances in which there were palestinians and muslims here in Firenze that were opposed at supporting Hamas in rallies concerning Palestine, and, of course, historically, Palestinian government is marxist on the core. Making it more complex that what it is? I don't think there's the need. Hamas works like mafia: if Italy didn't have a military personnel, if Austria invaded the first people we would ask help to get aid and weapons would be the mafia, which is also what had already happened in South America, like Colombia. At the same time, organizations like that are inherently reactionary in the principles, and imperialist-coded. Don't call me crazy if I say that one of the possible outcomes I see the most probable is for palestinians to be transferred in the egyptian side of Gaza under Hamas' and egyptian government's management with the support of american and international organizations, both of which are indeed reactionary. I think that islamic fundamentalism was never diametrically opposed to western capitalism like marxism could be, it's a tool that imperialistic powers are willing to use for their own interest when the opportunity shows up for them principles to be recicled (look at ISIS with Turkey and Kurdistan, or with Russia in Ukraine, for instance). Palestine as a country is the only opposition beside Kurdistan for western (and I include Turkey and obviously Israel) military hegemony, Hamas is a group of grifters that don't have freedom in revolutionary terms as their main interest.

What frustrates me is that you an intellectual refuse to check the facts and you start giving your opinion based on the facts you claim to be truthful. For god sake people read the jewish state of theodor herzl (he is the founder of zionism and in the book he explains that with raising of antisemitism in europe, the jews need to create a country for them and the ideal place would be the "promised land") and read "the declaration of balfour of 1917" in which the uk promised the Zionists to help them create "isreal" on the land oh palestine There is an absolute truth, and it's the fact that Israel is an occupation if you don't start debating from that point then you're only doing a propaganda in the favour of the colonisers.

In a sense, though not entirely, the european union is merely and specially a political and economical organization that fights for the interests of USA and Israel, it is inherently connected to the history of europe and usa with the Bankers. Its pretty obvious to all that can see that Europe and somewhat the USA has been controlled and governed by entities that are actively and obviously fighting against the people they rule over, specially Europe, its on a trajectory of suicide and unfortunately extermination.

I have many contentions with the Jewish religion. I think Judaism, alongside Islam, is a religion with a somewhat radical orthodoxy that doesn't go well with modernity. They may be not as radical as some Islamic places, but there are still many backward issues in their faith, specially the way they believe in God. Have been said that, though, when thinking about border issues, one have to take into account the whole Middle East picture. If you look how all the borders of Middle East we have today were set, you're going to see that there are many straight border lines going. Why is it like this? Because those are all artificial borders, set by colonial powers when they divided their spheres of influence and they most likely don't represent the true groups that really occupied each area. That's one of the reasons why we had a civil war in places like Syria, for instance. So, the whole area has been under the occupation, with a loose sense of pertaining, from foreign powers, either European, Ottoman, and so forth. Based on these factors, I wonder how people should exclude from the territorial partition between Israel and the Palestinians countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. Why couldn't those countries not also help build a Palestinian state together with Israel? Israel may have only 1 million people living there, but the country itself accounts for like half of the size of Denmark, a quite small country. Compare this to all states that have Islam as their main religion both in North Africa, Middle East and Asia. Israel is the only Jewish state. Not only that, but if you look at Temple Mount, you're going to see that there's plenty of room for them to build a temple for praying without making any compromise to the mosque that is built there today.

I have read the constitution of many Islamic countries, some still stone people to death in public squares. Illuminism, rational thought and freedom of thought have a value on its own and goes beyond certain oppressive traditional values, which Islam for instance is full of. Judaism, for its turn, in some concerns, is a quite selfish religion as well. And the conflict we're seeing today is indeed religious and denying it is just an Islamic excuse to claim that people living in Israel today are not Jews.
