Her Instagram post, translated in the link:
“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”
She has since been arrested:
A crude yet understandable statement from a person who was born, grew up and lived her whole life under such horrible circumstances of occupation and racism, especially now that the movement of ultra-racist, right-extremist, illegal settlers gets supplied with weapons by the government to murder Palestinians in the west bank to chase them out of their homes, in an attempt to expand Israel once again.
I do not support violence by either side but is it really so hard to understand her perspective?
Yes, yes it is hard to understand threatening to drink someone’s blood and eat their skull.
Ffs this seems like the easy answer
World is not easy but rather complicated, sorry to tell you …
She obviously used a rhetorical overstatement to emphasize her propaganda/message there, right? What´s so hard to understand about that?
yes. everything. especially the blood drinking, terrorist supporting and the fucking hitler reference.
That´s obviously a typical case of overstatement in war propaganda …
No shit. Still her statement gross the shit out of me and is completely incomprehensible.
Apply context maybe? Pretty easy to comprehend then …
@Nacktmull @steventhedev Exactly @Nactmull Pretty sure anyone in her position would be saying less than kind things about their oppresor…and Texans would be DOING less than kind things to them
When did Texas get involved?
@Nacktmull Texas didn’t. I’m using it as an example.
Consider that Texas was once part of Mexico, and imagine if a group of militant Mexicans tried to seize Texas back for " historical" reasons. Now imagine how well Texans might react to that.
It’s a reference for Americans to look at Israel versus Palestine
I see what you mean and agree. I think an even better example would be the first nations seizing back the USA from the european occupiers. In that example there even is a “justification” by genocide involved (probably in the Texas/Mexico example too but idk that much about it)
