Tourism often doesn’t benefit the people living in these towns. The hotels and Airbnbs are usually owned by outsiders and big companies. The people living and working in a tourist town often don’t see much benefits, besides that their town is now very expensive, regular people are forced to move out, making it harder to have a regular store, because all your customers are now tourists. If too much of a town serves tourism it’s typically bad for the regular inhabitants.

The problem is that people point to the problems of the USSR and say it’s because of communism, but when the USA does similar things, it’s just them fucking up, not because they’re capitalist. It’s a double standard hinted at by OP.

The problem with the USSR was not that they were communist. I think that communism worked well for them, which magnified both their successes (beating nazis, reducing poverty, increasing literacy, getting to space, etc), but also magnified their mistakes (suppressing religion, art, etc).

And the court found it plausible that genocide is happening, which is what is needed for the process to continue.

According to Wikipedia:

Settler colonialism occurs when colonizers invade and occupy territory to permanently replace the existing society with the society of the colonizers.

Being anti-colonialist is forbidden? Is it antisemitism because this time the colonizers claim to do it in the name of Judaism?

You’ve already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn’t, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.

Post an example of Palestinian people calling for genocide instead of a some unrelated dude.

I know why people keep quoting this unrelated dud:, it’s to make you think that “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a call to genocide. It’s not, it’s a call for freedom. Both quotes just use the word “sea”, but are otherwise not related.

Then post that instead

Okay, but then address the point that the guy was Egyptian and not Palestinian?

I mean, there is a big difference between the crimes you commit and the ones you don’t commit.

If we’re going to judge countries based off what politicians of OTHER countries say, we’ll be here all night. Fuck Canada for the shit Trump says, etc.

Two nitpicks:

• that was said by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, who is Egyptian, not Palestinian
• there’s a huge difference between a threatened expulsion of some colonizers (words) and actual genocide of the indigenous population (actions)

First by the Ottoman Empire, then by the British empire, now by Israel

You haven’t been to the USA or to any European country before the 80s to see that Christianity can be just as political and just as conservative.

If you give the situation a little more context, you can see the west’s hands in this as well, similar to Palestine and other former colonies. After being brutally exploited by western powers, there were many secular and moderate resistance movements. Because they were socialist and considered a threat to the western dominance they were either ruthlessly bombed, like Laos and Vietnam, or the west supported dictators like Suharto, because they promised to kill all the communists for them. Even though the dictator is gone now, it will take many years for a moderate generation to grow again.

The exact same is happening in Palestine. The west supports Israel’s ethnic cleansing, meaning that the only resistance that is left is groups like Hamas.

You don’t see the irony in asking for deportations for the people that are protesting being deported from their homes?

People like you are the problem.

What an incredibly one-sided argument. Any conservative, no matter the religion is against LGTBQ. Look at America, or any conservative christian political party in Europe. Heck, even conservative atheists are often against LGTBQ.

But separate from that, even conservative muslims deserve to defend themselves against colonialism and genocide.

Slavery was once a basic and common sense stance. Freeing the enslaved was illegal. Calling for abolition will only hurt the abolitionists.

Detaining and repatriating refugees is not common sense, it’s cruel. Laws that allow for it are unjust and should be repealed.

The only thing that will hurt the left is if they start selectively applying solidarity to only people of their own race or nationality.
