   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.

     @aral @LALegault 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 @LALegault 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.

     @aral @LALegault Seriously, a nazi/holocaust comparison/relativization? Israel military = Israel? That's all you can contribute to the discussion? Why not an attempt on a critique of every act of violence with an affirmation of the legitimacy of self-defense (and Hamas slaughter is definitely not self-defence) and an option for peace and justice for everyone? But of course, simplification and generalisation is so much simpler...

     @godot @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 genocide 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 is the exact perfect sound for 2023, if people’s alarm bells 🔔 are not going off right now, they’re broken.

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

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

     I agree. We’re all exhausted but that’s what they’re counting on.

     @aral @LALegault 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.

     @arfues @LALegault 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.
