Morally conscious soldiers refuse serving in the IDF:

»Yuval was required to torch two residential buildings; Michael realized how many civilians were likely to be killed during every bombing he observed; and Tal broke down when Israel entered Rafah. They are willing to suffer the price for their refusal to serve in Gaza«

Contrast to the psychopaths posting their war crimes on social media.

@aral it's a huge political music festival where the otherwise most progressive German left and anarchists gather every year. They have no idea what to do with the divide in the German left, and as a result they are basically discouraging showing solidarity with Palestine and suppressing any notion of Israeli brutalities and history of occupation and apartheid in their communication.

There's a whole term for this btw:

@aral seeing you and tante have a fight is not unlike seeing Celtic fans vs. St Pauli fans 😵💫️ (nb - I follow both of you for your tech content). The German left has an issue understanding and criticizing Israel. Similar weirdness going on with the Fusion Festival, if that means anything to you.

I don't wanna say more about this, I think that toots are not the right format to have a discussion about the topic. But I wanted to say this, in case it's something you haven't been made aware of.

thanks to whoever did this 😂
