Where are the mega rich Arabs and Muslims pulling their funding because somebody didn’t put out a pro-Palestine message.

I think you might be a little confused about the current geopolitics and investment in the area. This flared up in part because SA was giving up on the Palestinians and moving towards accepting a single state under Israeli rule. That’s where most of the local money and power resides and it’s not really aligned with Palestinians.

On the other hand Iran is Palestine’s ally and they have put their limited money where their mouth us, up to the point of threatening Israel with an invasion if they do not control their hostilities. Afaik they don’t have much investment in Israel and allies to pull out, so threats of military intervention are the tactic that is available to them. The vast majority of investment that exists in order to be pulled in the first place, is invested in Israel. (Afghanistan is a wasteland now but iirc they had also people wanting to travel to defend Gaza fwiw.)

The pro-Palestinians basically are pulling out all of the stops, it’s just that the pieces on the board are overwhelmingly skewed against them. And the actions they have available are not going to be viewed favorably by citizens of the hegemonic countries (5eyes, etc.) because those actions threaten the relatively unipolar world order. Those actions also won’t be heavily reported on in countries aligned with Israel - unless the purpose is to wrap it in a message that drives jingoism - because it portrays weakness and discrepancies with the official narrative on the region (which is aligned with US-ally SA’s campaign for a single state).

Looking at other regional stakeholders:

Lebanon isn’t controlled by the state much right now, but that state wasn’t aligned with Palestine because the government was set up to split the local religions and the final design gave an advantage to the Christians. Waves of left-wing Palestinian refugees from conflict in the south eventually changed the demographics. The West-aligned Christian leaders decided they were a political threat and hostilities broke out, the state received military support from the US which suppressed the resistance for a time, but the situation didn’t really change and there have been various outbreaks since. The tensions remain.

Jordan allied with displaced Palestinian militants at one point to fight Israel. After the conflict’s resolution, tension grew because the Palestinians were left-wing and Jordan is a monarchy ruled by a royal family. Jordan saw their ideology as a political threat and started bombing their refugee camps, and they Palestinians mobilized in response against the state.

It’s probably worth mentioning that Palestinian organizations were communist during the Cold War - they had a lot of enemies. It’s my opinion that the current narrative on Palestine in terms of geopolitics is in many ways a continuation of Cold War rhetoric and agendas.

But the secular element was defeated in elections by Israel-supported Hamas, and now there is a more theological aspect driving the resistance. At one point their official stance was, imo, genocidal - that language was relaxed a few years after the elections and it is now officially a more territorial agenda. On the other hand, we all know how religious extremists act when not kept in check (although we should be careful not to be tricked into thinking all militants, including those giving orders, are religious extremists - reportedly Hamas’ campaign on the 7th was ordered to take hostages and not kill civilians, and that the IDF basically implemented the Hannibal Doctrine against it’s own civilians leading to significant friendly fire casualties [even as reported by an Israeli who was held hostage and later interviewed on Israeli news]; you can see how murky the waters get in a propaganda war).

Which is why I think the defeat of the secular element was monumentally disastrous for… just about every party on Earth.

There is also the Palestinian Authority that is somewhat competing with Hamas. They govern different territories but they have two radically different platforms, and as a result they are effectively competing to be recognized as the sole authority over Palestinian lands. The PA is very much trying to distance itself from Hamas right now. However there is a growing opinion that the PA were collaborators and handed Palestine to Israel/SA on a silver platter and paved the way for their own identity to be erased - with SA supporting a one-state solution giving weight to the opinion.

So… Palestine doesn’t have very many allies.

As a final note, you do you, but I wonder if you know much about Wexner - and if not, whether you would choose that particular verbiage if you were more familiar with the man. I’m not trying to invalidate your sentiment but I know I personally would have held onto it until a… less reprehensible individual was the subject of discussion.

No one. Jews everywhere will take a reputation hit from the public at large because Bibi pretends to speak for them.

I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. I worked at a Jewish family business. I have lots of Jewish friends. And I’ve yet to meet a Jew who likes the guy…even the ones who support an Israeli state.

Zionism is just Israeli patriotism.

Zionism is by definition a nationalist ideology.

Thanks. I do know about it, but didn’t know whether @sadreality was being sarcastic or serious. & was trying to find out.

Back during the primary I remember seeing a lawn sign that said “BIDEN OUR TIME FOR A WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE” and I think about that a lot lol.

Did you see the OH bombing aftermath? Low explosives can still pack a hefty punch, and the hospital is by no means “destroyed”.

Bombing a hospital doesn’t make any sense.

Are you making the claim that the zionist state does not bomb hospitals?

Ah yes because a 1,000kg bomb that took over a thousand lives in one go “might not” level an entire building. And despite actually celebrating, it could have been an accident.

oh ok good the hospital hasn’t been leveled

only 500 people died there

we’re good

Uh oh, looks like someone knows how to write sassy remarks on the internet. I’m very impressed!

The only threat the people in Israel are under right now is their own state waging war.

Most Israelis are living their normal lives still. Parties and clubs still happened over the weekend without issue. It’s been 9 days of 2.5 million Gaza-ians not having a drop of water, an ounce of food, or a minute of electricity imported.

9 million in Israel under constant rocket fire.

Sorry - please remind me… what are they doing in Palestine again?

I for one denounce the heinous acts of violence committed by the Haitian rebels. Stand with France!
