Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious

And don't whine about 'transactional activism.' I have no reason to support you if you want me dead or at the very least powerless and silent.

to be clear, i have no opinion on what you want as a jew. hamas also has no interest in you as a jew. hamas is explicitly an islamist, militant liberation movement that is borne of and focused on the israeli occupation. broadening it to "jews" is israeli propaganda, which has consistently declared all jewish people the enemy when hamas has not, and held palestinians responsible for (very real) global anti-semitism when they are not. the issues of global anti-semitism and jewish safety are the responsibility of their respective european, north american, african and asian governments. they do not rest on palestinians, the victims of zionist ethnic supremacy.

but if you are an israeli jewish citizen who supports the occupation and the idf that is currently enacting a genocide, then you have no right at all to demand anything of palestinians nor their allies. you have missed the entire point of saying "palestinians understand that condemning hamas is a dogwhistle for justifying their own death" and are attempting to imply that palestinians and israelis are equal parties who just don't get along. you are also (incorrectly) equating not condemning hamas to supporting violence. you are attempting to imply that ending israeli apartheid is a favor to us, when it is in fact the only way to end hamas. it is for your own good before it is for ours, because i don't think you as a human being should believe that only a genocial, fascist, apartheid regime can keep you safe.

the original 1988 charter of hamas was very explicitly antisemitic. like it was not just anti-israel it quite literally called for the murder of all jews. however, the charter was revised in 2017 to instead state its intent at targeting zionism, not the jewish people. hamas may not be outright antisemitic now but it was certainly founded on antisemitic principles.

so, to say “hamas has no interest in you as a jew” is basically true, but that wasn’t always the case. i think a lot of jews who demand that palestine supporters also condemn hamas are referencing this when they refer to antisemitism, not conflating zionism with judaism. because people will read somewhere that “hamas is antisemitic” and not question what that means because it lines up with their beliefs. and yes it’s the responsibility of those people to question and research on their own, but this is literally an information war and the response here doesn’t actually address the anon’s point.

the person who sent that anon isn’t thinking, “you support palestine so you must hate jews.” they’re not thinking “you hate israel, so you hate every single jew.” they’re thinking, “you are willing to sacrifice jews for your political cause, even when we’re on your side.” they’re thinking, “you are justifying the murder of people in my community because of their government’s crimes.” even though that isn’t the truth.

my refusal to entertain it is because this is a self-defeating, dangerous and unproductive line of reasoning. you are not on "my side." there are no sides to an occupation. the decision to stand with it or against it knowing how many people it has killed is their own moral choice. but the thing is you admit it isn't the truth, you recognize thats not what i'm saying, but you still want us to think about what's going on in their heads, center this line of reasoning, apologize and reassure people about it, which only legitimizes what is already false and wastes time and energy on incorrect fears instead of the ongoing genocide. telling you that's bullshit is not division, and most anti-zionist jews do not disagree.

i am justifying no one's murder and it is both inflammatory and divisive of you to imply it. i am saying if you want to be safe, if you are dedicated to ending hamas, you have to end apartheid. this is me explaining to you how to end hamas. that means we are presumably aligned on this political goal. discussing hamas's antisemitism in 1988 in this context is pointless because i'm already telling you how to end their activity. the decision to see this as justifying murder is entirely your own, and at 10,000 deaths in i think we are well past the point of entertaining unfounded anxiety.

Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.

Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.

Used slavery to produce their cocoa.

Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.

Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.

Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.

Price-fixed food items.

Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.

The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.

But I didn’t know that they really are That Dense, All The Time. The same way sharks will bite anything that might be a seal, just in case, these birdbrains will apparently test just about anything for beak size. 

Behold a short list of bad ideas:

Human foot is not food, bird.

That is clearly bigger than your entire body.

...You do know what a bear cub is, right? Right??

That is a BICYCLE SEAT.

"This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full.  To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning."
