Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion

423 readers

The sole purpose of this community is to discuss Israeli and Palestinian issues. It is not the place for hurling insults, rehashing grudges, or making up history. Any conversation that veers into the "if only your people had" realm will be deleted or locked right away. I started this community in the potentially fruitless hope that we may have a civil conversation about this issue.

Rules:

  1. References to historical events must include a reputable source. The definition of reputable is up to the mods. Keep that in mind.
  2. Articles from reputable sources only.
  3. No name-calling. That's what DMs are for. /s
  4. Keep it in English. If I don't understand the word, it gets removed. Obvious exceptions would be the use of proper names and references. For example, "wadi" when used to refer to a place is acceptable.
  5. Discussions that are heading into the probability of becoming a flame war will be locked.
  6. Repeat offenders will be forced to find another community.
  7. Anti-Zionism is ok. Anti-Semitism is not.
  8. Whataboutism is for toddlers. Try to grow up.
  9. Posting articles about current events is encouraged. Posting the same story from 20 different sources is not.
  10. Posting an article purely for the purpose of saying "Look what monsters they are" is discouraged unless it can generate an honest discussion. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow.
  11. No calling anyone a terrorist.
  12. No YouTube links. Some of us can read.

At Gate 8 of Ercan Airport — the main hub of Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus, a territory recognized by no government except Ankara — a 24-year-old Israeli citizen is stopped moments before boarding a flight to Mexico via Istanbul. Inside his luggage: a specialized cryogenic transport container. Inside the container: four human embryos, preserved in four separate test tubes, sealed under nitrogen. The label on the container reads: “Life Parcel.”

Israel is killing Palestinian babies before they are born. Not as a figure of speech. In the literal, biological, measurable sense: in the wombs of their mothers, in the nitrogen tanks of the fertility clinic a single Israeli shell obliterated in December 2023, on operating tables where cesarean sections are performed without anesthesia because the blockade has eliminated the anesthesia, in the incubators Israeli forces smashed when they raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital neonatal unit.The United Nations Commission of Inquiry reviewed the evidence. The Rome Statute does not hesitate to define it. The Genocide Convention of 1948 does not hesitate to classify it. The only entities that hesitate are the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France — who have decided, with full information, that Palestinian children, even unborn Palestinian children, do not rise to the level of a crisis requiring a change of policy. This text will name what they will not name.
