JVL is a terrible source

Jacobin has a much more in-depth article: What MLK Actually Thought About Israel and Palestine

When you look at the breadth of MLK’s works, it’s certainly true he had an incorrect understanding of Israel and the Zionist project. I’m not going to excuse that, even at the time there were notable figures such as Malcolm X, Einstein, Hannah Ardent, ect, that correctly identified early Israel as a fascist settler-colonial project. It’s an important blind spot of his at acknowledge and address.

Nevertheless, MLK’s thoughts on colonialism and segregation from South Africa and America, can correctly be applied to Israel, and make it obvious how critical International opposition such as Boycott Divestment and Sanctions are to collapse the fascist regime, as it was for Apartheid South Africa.

revisionism is y’all’s favorite sport

I literally just replied to you doing that

That’s not what happened. Kiya was not shocked, he did check on her after, Kiya gets hours of daily exercise, and is allowed to come or go from her cot as she wants.

Except if it’s the Leahy Law of course

If there wasn’t an Apartheid in the first place, militant resistance to end the Apartheid wouldn’t have happened

The stainless steel ones are totally worth. Worth getting a large lewis bag to store them in too imo

It looks like he’s the founder of BashSquare from his profiles, I found his website. https://ahmedbashbash.github.io/ Looks like it has contact information, you could possibly ask clarifying questions if you wanted to.

I’m pretty certain it’s not some kind of Israeli honeypot or something like that. They’ve also done a few donation drives in the past.

The barcodes themselves provide the information for the business the product is from, at least most of them. There is also community input, where people can request a product be added if it is on the boycott list but they find the barcode not identifying it. They are also working on community additions to alternative products to boycotted ones, that should roll out in a future update

I know grapheneos does sandboxing which is really nice. You can also further isolate by setting up a new profile or using the private space, depending on what your threat level is. I just have it on my regular profile myself

Have you looked into DrinkMate?

https://boycott-israel.org/ looks to have a search option, otherwise there is the BDS website https://bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-Profiting-From-Genocide

The ads are not present in the app unless you voluntarily watch one in the Support tab by clicking ‘Watch Ad’

I don’t know anything about BashSquare, but the developer is Ahmed Bashbash, a Palestinian software engineer from Gaza residing in Hungary.

Here’s the About page:

As far as what’s on the boycott list, it follows the official boycott list from my knowledge and gives an explanation on why a brand is boycotted

It works without camera access if you have no need to scan barcodes, it does need network to access the boycott list information. It doesn’t need notification or sensor access to work. At least on grapheneos

Adi Callai does a great job explaining the PA and counter insurgency here in his video about The Gaza Ghetto Uprising, but the entire video and many others on his channel are well worth the watch

I also have a bunch of quoted articles about how the PA works under Israel to crack down on resistance in this comment

Reading Franz Fanon, Adi Callai has a video on him as well, really opened my understanding about the violence of resistance groups. Not that it justifies or trivializes those actions against civilians, that is of course unacceptable, but Fanon gives the context of the oppressed that me and many westerners cannot comprehend. Context about the unrelenting violence of the oppressors, of being against a far militarily superior force set on supremacy, of how armed struggle evolves as the oppression expands in scope and cruelty.

Israel props up Hamas because it knows it can get away with the terrorist framing to justify it’s escalation of ethnic cleansing and apartheid to western powers. Israel regularly assassinates and imprisons more moderate leadership so that fundamentalist groups gain more prominence. This is the way Israel likes to justifies it’s blockade, mowing the lawn, and divide Gaza/West Bank. If you think Hamas is being played by Israel, sure. But it’s not like they have any option other than armed resistance. I can critisize their methods all I want, but at the end of the day, I’m not the one living in Gaza, I have no clue what it’s really like living in those hellish conditions, I don’t really know what I’d be willing to do to try to break free from the Zionist entity that has routinely bombed, imprisoned, tortured loved ones for generations in the largest open air prison on earth.

Hamas is a genuine resistance against Zionism, to say it’s a fig-leaf of resistance implies that it is not a genuine opposition but just a front. There is plenty to criticize, but they are a genuine opposition. They have already agreed to give up governance, as long as a unified Palestinian leadership can take place (they’ve advocated for this as part of the peace deal since Oct 8th) and Hamas changes to a regular army under that leadership.

The PA is a fig-leaf of resistance because they directly work under Israel to violently suppress resistance against the settler colonialism and apartheid in the West Bank. The PA is Counter Insurgency (COIN) wielded by Israel to prolong the Apartheid and continue to delay any semblance of statehood. The PA is viewed by Palestinians nearly just as negatively as Israel because of that. They assist Israel’s expansion and crack down on resistance. It’s another arm of Israel’s Apartheid apparatus

Never give up, have faith in Togashi 🙏

One day the HxH manga will conclude… I’d be amazing to the the rest animated eventually as well

I really like the way power ups were handled in Demon Slayer, it felt much more ‘earned’ and it was nice to see the consequences of ‘powering up’ requiring the characters to go through major recovery each time

Really? Most things I’ve read suggest black when they mention non-descript clothing

With defunding fire fighters and climate change, you never know. Thank God we have that space lazer to control the weather, otherwise I’d be worried

You realize the people protesting don’t post on social media because governments are falsely smearing and criminalizing them as antisemitic and pro-terrorism, right? All the support for Palestine is grassroots, it’s in complete opposition to global capitalism
