Pro-Palestine demonstrators in Portugal assaulted by Israeli tourists
Pro-Palestine demonstrators in Portugal assaulted by Israeli tourists
Manifestantes dizem ter sido vítimas de violência racista e xenófoba, ameaças de morte e pontapés. Confrontos físicos aconteceram esta sexta-feira à tarde, junto à estátua de D. Dinis, na Universidade de Coimbra, onde decorria uma manifestação pacífica.
There, the tourists “violently intimidated one of activists, who is a racialized woman, calling her ‘fascist’, ‘monkey’, telling her to go back to Africa and even threatening to kill her.”
Sounds on par for ethnic supremacists.
What does it mean to be racialized?
To acquire one unpaired valence electron.
Person of color, but only in a background where it has any significance. So a Chinese person is racialized in France, but not in China, and a German person is racialized in Japan, but not in Germany.
It's translated by Google from "racializado" I think. I think it's being singled out because of your race...or something...
Fortunately the bible only says to love your neighbour so you can really let loose when travelling.
the bible also contains accounts of god helping his people conquer land and uproot the residing population from it. I wouldn't use it as a moral reference.
In fact, let's be honest: there is no point in quoting any religious text, regardless of religion, when discussing morality. These texts are horribly dated and should be considered as historically interesting, but nothing more.
Yeah the god old the old testament is brutal, and honestly a real piece of shit.
Why would I want to worship a god who openly admits to being controlled by such petty human emotions as jealousy? Fuck that, I've been in shitty relationships before.
That's New Testament, blood.
The audacity of entering someone's country, trying to control what they do and say and then tell them to go somewhere else "where they came from". Who would've expected an Israeli of being capable of such a thing.
Sounds like Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch
This is not the first time - Israeli tourists attack vigil in Cusco in support of Palestine
israeli tourists should be banned from entering the EU, same as russian tourists. People from these two fucking countries should not be allowed in.
As someone from Russia - I'm confused really, while I'd feel offended myself, I know what Russian tourists are like in general. Ahem.
The people of Russia aren't guilty of anything.
In principle, the same is true of Israelites.
We don't judge a people by their nation state. That's how atrocities get normalized.
Israels population continued to vote for Netanyahu or even worse fascists and even the so called "center" and "center left" have been largely in support of continued settler colonial displacements and ethnic cleansings. Still a majority is in support of the current genocide.
The opposition to being a white supremacists "Blut und Boden, Lebensraum" Fascist state are in the small minority unfortunately.
Here's some read for you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_in_Jerusalem#Banality_of_evil
Yes, an average russian or Israeli person is not likely to have directly participated in the recent events.
The catch, though, it's that by not opposing the actions of their governments, they DO contribute to the events indirectly. They pay taxes. They work at factories producing weapons. They make the food that the soldiers eat.
On top of that it's not russian government who's currently pulling the triggers and dropping bombs. Just regular folks who just follow orders.
Yes, protesting in russia is not easy, but the war keeps going on because the government sees that people aren't worried too much about it.
And yes, in both countries there are people who actively oppose, but the majority doesn't.
And that majority is complicit.
It's not about guilt, it's about the reality of propaganda radicalizing the population.
Of course not everyone in any of those countries is mindrotten, but that's like #NotAllMen, it's not about the individual, but the "culture".
I don't know if I agree with radical policies like what the parent comment proposes though.
I've seen Russians get arrested for protesting the war and I've seen Israeli children encourage by adults to stomp on food aid they blocked.
Israeli "settlers" have been stealing land from Palestinian families that have lived there for generations. For decades.
I agree that Jewish people as a whole aren't guilty, but the type that go into other people's homes, on other people's land in other people's countries are the same type that carry AR-15s when marching into a village in the West Bank to say, "this is mine now." Fuck those people.
It's ok to call the Proud Boys shit without damning the entire US population.
Isn't there a word for when people go to a foreign country and attack the locals? Feels like it's right on the tip of my tongue...
Terrorists.
Terrourists 😂
Invasion?
Why are these Nazis even allowed in?
because they disguise themselves as Jews
Careful, they might try to steal your home while they're there.
Coimbra is traditionally an academic city. The demonstrators were very peaceful. Had they done this in Porto, for example, it could've earn them a beating.
Portuguese peope are very good hosts, but you don't enter someone's "home" and tell them what to do. It's one of the most insulting things you can do as a visitor. And you don't tell us to "go to Africa". Honestly I'm surprised some old lady didn't came with a broom and sweep their asses into next week.
"They're not sending their best"
I’m just waiting for the follow up of this headline now. “Israeli tourists attacking pro-Palestine supporters killed in attack, told to go home”.
Video and pictures of the incident
"This is my place, my place"
"Your place is is Africa! In Africa! Not here"
Shouts the Russian Israeli in a Portuguese square to the Portuguese demonstrating there against the actions of the nation he chose to live in.
Wow, just wow.
Ok watching the video and where's the assault? What a clickbait dude
The two question zionists need to be explicitly asked are:
- Hypothetically, do they even believe it would ever be possible for Israel to commit genocide?
- If so, what characteristics would it need to have in order to qualify as genocide?
If they answer no to the first one, they expose their complete bias and therefore unable to even argue their position effectively.
If they answer yes, then they have to explain why the genocidal traits of what Israel are doing are not genocide, which might hopefully make them more introspective.
Send them home!
Wow, heart warming. Turns out the real terrorists were the Israelis we met along the way ❤
