This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I am pretty happy about the fact that I taught somebody five days ago of the Palestinians’ Jewish heritage. She had also been under the mistaken impression that they were simply the descendants of some Arab tribe that moved in shortly after the Roman Empire expelled the Jewish population, and when I showed her the reality, she was fascinated.

Funny story about my source of inspiration: out of boredom, I looked into archived /pol/ threads (which I don’t recommend doing, by the way, especially with images turned on) where some antisemites wrote off the Palestinians as being Jewish. Then I did the same thing on X (formerly known as Twitter) and found others doing it, though some users actually brought up the fact in good faith and offered evidence for it. That was what really sparked my interest.

Yeah. This is a really important idea. Pushing back on the narrative that israel is the ancestral homeland of Jewish people destroys the legitimacy of the zionist state. Palestinians are descended primarily from Hebrews that converted from Judaism to Christianity and Islam. While israelis are descended primarily from europeans who converted to Judaism. The lie that Jewish is a race or ethnicity and not a religion is an invention by zionists.

What do you say to my theory that Zionists recognized the largely untreated generational trauma of the Jews that were in the Holocaust and their descendants as something to be weaponized ?
