‼️🇵🇸 An activist, who destroyed multiple engine parts of the jets Israel uses, has been released!

More info from NRK (Norwegian media), 22. April 2024:

[...] The art student [Sørensen] has been active in the pro-Palestine movement for a long time. Following the sabotage, he's received support from the British action group Palestine Action, who published a picture of him when he was released from prison. "It's because of the horrible things that are happening in Palestine right now. It's the most fucked up thing I've ever seen in my life," Sørensen said. In November, FriFagbevegelse [Norwegian union paper] published an interview with the defense giant Lockheed Martin about the F-35 fighter jet that is being used in the war in Gaza. They are the ones who assemble the planes in the USA. "All F-35 fighters have parts made in Norway", they confirmed in an email to the newspaper. Norwegian authorities say it is forbidden to sell weapons to Israel. However, the sale of parts to the defense manufacturer Lockheed Martin, destined for the United States, is legal, because American export regulations then apply

For Europeans reading: your country, even if it has a ban on weapon exports to Israel, may similarly be aiding the genocide in Gaza "indirectly" through weapon exports to the US.

sometimes I realize some people come from an entirely different moral universe because they genuinely believe bombing civilians is legitimate if there might be military infrastructure around there somewhere

They still using this shit-ass talking point even if it has been refuted a million times?

Even if you wanna argue for this point, Palestinians are an arabized people who are descendants of the ancient Levantines. They have a history tracing back before Islam and Christianity. In fact, Palestinian Christians and Palestinian Samaritans make up one of the oldest communities who have had a continuous presence in the Holy Land. Furthermore, with the Arab expansion following the Prophet's (pbuh&hf) death, the people in the Holy Land were Arabized, and many of them adopted Arab culture. Converting to Islam or being Arabized does not erase your indigeneity. The fact is that they intermingled with the local Christian, Jewish, and Samaritan population due to the lax inter-faith marriage traditions in Islam, this is why Palestinians can trace their lineage back to the ancient Israelites.

Like no matter how much wanna argue, this is such an asinine point.

Additionally the Ancient Israelites were not the first inhabitants. Like the Romans they were an empire that established on the location. We trace our lineage even further back to Ancient Canaan.

As Nur Masalha discusses in his “Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History”, the identity and cultures of Palestine are living organisms: they change, evolve and develop.

People in the comments: please stop talking about how "it's not relevant" that part of the zionist narrative steals our history to excuse itself of colonization. It very much is part of the pattern that allows zionists to claim land and enforce occupation — "archeology" that is manipulated and falsified manufactures much of the consent you see for violence. Academia, as I mention multiple times, enforces colonization and the theft of culture and history is how zionists rewrite history to erase our ties to the land.

idk i think people not being able to recognize problems with cops outside of “they kill black people” is bad. like. even if we created a police system that wasnt super fucking racist you know that wouldn’t fix the inherent problem of policing

Police exist not primarily to enforce the law or produce public satety, though these can be byproducts at times, but instead to produce a social order by managing the problems that the above regimes of exploitation produce- what we call "crime"- as well as managing the formal and informal resistance to these regimes of exploitation.
