      :what-the-hell:

      That reads like a chanbrain claiming that it’s reverse-racist that schools are teaching that slavery was bad and not some sacred western institution.

    If you ever doubt Israel is a settler-colonial apartheid state, simply look at the UN vote on recognizing Palestinian statehood

    The United Nations general assembly voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to recognise Palestine as a state, in the face of opposition from Israel and the US.

    The 193-member assembly voted 138 in favour of the plan, with only nine against and 41 abstentions. The scale of the defeat represented a strong and public repudiation for Israel and the US, who find themselves out of step with the rest of the world.

    Means Morning News did a great job on this story today, here’s a quote from the conclusion of the story:

    “Tlaib never said anything about Israel’s right to exist; she was talking specifically about the policies of the current Israeli government and how they amount to apartheid and should be opposed. And none of the criticisms against her actually address that point. They all just pretended like Israel isn’t practicing apartheid. I will go a step further than Tlaib, though, and say that, actually, nations don’t have a fundamental right to exist if they don’t have the consent of those who live within their borders to exist.”
