All Catholics (and many Protestant Rovalists) above the rank of tradesman or labourer were to remove themselves and their families into Connacht and Clare, where they were assigned small allotments. Any of those ordered away found east of the Shannon after May 1st, 1654, might be killed by whoever met them. The move had to be made mostly in winter. The season was very severe, and the roads almost impassable. Thousands perished on the way.
372 years ago, on this day in 1652, the Act for the Settlement of Ireland was passed by the English Parliament, preceding the greatest exercise in ethnic cleansing in early modern Europe.
They have the world's highest concentration of "NGO's". One for every 148 citizens. There's a lot of money floating around that's untraced. The likes of Frau Genocide, Von Der Leyen, are making all kinds of promises to them, same as they did to the Ukrainians.
"And even if they are more successful than us it's because of capitalism."
Israel is finished. If it doesn't fall before, it will fall alongside the genocidal USA. Your comment history is full of Zionist narratives. Are you an open Zionist?
If fewer civilians would’ve been killed in the initial attack and not so many people be taken as hostage, then I don’t think most of the destruction we see now would’ve been the case,
The October 7th resistance event would have been used to excuse the genocide regardless. Most being killed by the IOF confirms this, aswell as all the fake stories about raped women and beheaded babies.
The death of some of the more prominent kibbutzim that were left voices for a shared land solution, that tried to connect the people and workers in the areas also let to plenty unpolitical people to believe more into a narrative of genocidal Hamas and widespread male support in Gaza for them and for violence against Jews.
Where did you hear this?
The Israeli Arab (own self labeling) I know who worked with queer refugees from “Arab countries”, including Gaza, tells that his family is quite angry.
Actually they told me you were full of shit.
I do think that Israel is now more unified internally than before.
Well naturally, they've murdered so many innocent Palestinians that the needle shifted.
I did expect Egypt to open borders though and allow non military aged people to seek refugee.
You expected Egypt to participate in Israel's ethnic cleansing?
They photoshopped his eyes blue for this cover.
Good for you for getting out of that. Not a lot of people are capable.
This is just plain censorship.
The country with over 20% of the world's prison population and a highly militarised police force that routinely carries out extrajudicial killings of ethnic minorities is not ever described as "authoritarian". Somehow.
Also, the officialdom gives license to hate. It's a rubber stamp on bigotry, you can be a bigot all you like, but for Good™. Now you can dehumanise Russians, Chinese and any other targets of imperialism for free and remain a progressive liberal, shielded from any negative judgement.
And if on the rare occasion you are called out on it, you can just say that you hate the governments, not the people, ignoring all polling figures and support for these governments. After all, those support stats are fake anyway, you stupid tankie.
I love this line:
The bourgeois will become an anarchist again after the proletarian revolution: he will once again become aware of the existence of a State; of the existence of laws foreign to his will, hostile to his interests, to his habits, to his freedom. He will realize that “State” is synonymous with “compulsion” because the workers’ State will take away the bourgeoisie’s freedom to exploit the proletariat, because the workers’ State will be the bulwark of a new mode of production which, as it develops, will destroy every trace of capitalist ownership and any possibility of its revival.
This is exactly the crux of the failure of ideological "Freedom Now" maximalism. That maximalist freedom they want includes the freedom to exploit and take away the freedom of others. The paradox that needs to be accepted and synthesised is that Freedom necessarily must be imposed at this stage.
I thought they'd go with the Chinese this time.
