@platypusparent@DropBear@palestine Yes indeed! There are parallels between modern Palestine and 18th C Gondwanaland - hopefully Israel will not be as successful in their genocidal settler-colonial project as Australia was.
"Home" is human. "Homeland" is Fascist. Israeli Zionism exploits the Fascist concept to deny Palestinians their homes.
Here, I see echoes of Kristallnacht:
"Addressing the crowd before setting off for the Old City, ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir declared that this year’s Jerusalem Day celebration sends a message to Hamas that “Jerusalem is ours.”
"... as Chris Hedges often says, ‘Israel lies.’ And in the present climate the lies are not only bellicose and incendiary, but galling to a Jew like me who grew up in a time of intense antisemitism."
...
"The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has figures for an exponential rise in antisemitic incidents over the past months. I’m not examining the figures – numbers aren’t exactly my forte. But it’s curious that so little attempt is made by them, or pro-Zionist organisations like them, to correlate this rise with Israel’s ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people and its culmination in one of history’s most horrific human tragedies.
