I know a guy with a Hebrew text tattoo at BJJ. That's going to be a weird moment if he brings this up. Is there any way to navigate the issue without inspiring anger like Jeremy Corbyn?
“
just like the ruskies, Israel can end this violence any time by leaving”
i'd say to him, hey dude you're in violation of leviticus 19:28, and then i'd choke him out.
Just because he has a Hebrew text tattoo doesn't mean he is Zionist. I'd try not to make any assumptions and keep an open mind.
honestly the fact that he has a tattoo in the first place is probably a sign that he may be on the more progressive leaning spectrum of Judaism in the first place.
basically don't assume he's gonna say horrible shit, I have lots of Jewish anti zionist comrades that are out there doing good work and supporting Palestinian liberation that would prefer to not be automatically lumped in like that. If he does say something horrible let him have it but give him a chance I guess?
That said they might not even be Jewish so YMMV lol.
honestly its kinda concerning that one of the first replies to this is to choke him out, despite the only evidence for his Zionism being a tat in Hebrew. Even in jest.
The IOF's bombing of Gaza at the moment is unceasing and barbaric, carrying out several massacres and leading to entire families martyred in a pathetic attempt to restore its broken "prestige" due to historic resistance advances.
The entity’s thirst for blood, punishment, and revenge on the Palestinian people becomes more apparent by the day. The IOF has increased the frequency of its indiscriminate targeting of homes in Gaza with no present resistance activity, leveling homes on residents' heads.
We know, as our readers know, that the people are the resistance and vice versa: it is the relationship between the sword and shield, the heart and arm. Every Palestinian struggles under the occupation. As this historic battle rages on, we know that the tactics of the occupation will evolve. They will continue to target homes regardless of the presence of resistance activity in an attempt to demoralize the Palestinian people, draw blood, and accelerate their genocide.
As this happens, it is our obligation to our principles that dictates we must not fall into the trap of distinguishing between armed resistance fighters and non-combatants, as every Palestinian has a role in the current state of affairs. Every martyr must be mourned, and every zionist strike must be seen for the crime that it is. We will not allow the occupier or Western media to dehumanize us by creating distinctions between a colonized people whose remained existence on their lands is "militant."
Every Palestinian is a civilian even if they hold arms. A settler is an aggressor, a soldier, and an occupier even if they are lounging on our occupied beaches. As the IOF calls up thousands of reserves, it is clear that all settlers are soldiers. There exists a colonizer and the colonized, an oppressed and the oppressor. The people cannot be dissociated from resistance, because we are in a constant state of resistance.
Certainly, an explosive response is coming.
This struggle has been imposed on us. To resist is to survive, and to resist is a right.
