While it might be surprising to some, the conference and its offensive guest list are not out of place within Zionist history. In fact, at the very dawn of Zionism itself, founder Theodor Herzl wrote in his diary that “the anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.” And this is indeed how history played out.
Such alliances took place on various occasions throughout Zionist history, for various specific agendas. Such agendas included the “Transfer agreement” between the Zionist Yishuv (the Jewish polity in Palestine) in the years 1933-39, under which the 1937 Berlin meeting between Adolf Eichmann and the Jewish Zionist and Haganah agent Feivel Polkes took place. The meeting included a discussion of the possibility that the Nazis might supply weapons for the Zionist fight against the British Mandate in Palestine. The same year Eichmann visited Palestine, hosted by Polkes.
Another example was when the Stern Gang (or LEHI, an offshoot of the Irgun, led by Yaakov Stern) attempted to forge an alliance with Nazi Germany in 1940-41. Their proposals to Hitler offered “active participation in the war on Germany’s side,” citing a “partnership of interests” between “the German worldview and the true national aspirations of the Jewish people.” They claimed that “the establishment of the historical Jewish state on a totalitarian national basis, in an alliance relationship with the German Reich, is compatible with the preservation of German power.”
The Irgun and Stern Gang were both ideological descendants of Vladimir Jabotinsky and his “Iron Wall,” which is also the founding ideology of the Likud party. Leaders of these paramilitary groups, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, went on to become prime ministers of Israel. Of course, the current prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is also an heir to this ideology. In the 1930s, Jabotinsky’s people trained in Italy under Mussolini, and his fascist government noted: “In agreement of all the relevant authorities it has been confirmed that the views and the political and social inclinations of the Revisionists are known and that they are absolutely in accordance with the fascist doctrine. Therefore, as our students they will bring the Italian and fascist culture to Palestine.” Years later, alliances with far-right governments have only been strengthened by Netanyahu, who has thrown Jews and the history of Jewish persecution history under the bus. He did this when he whitewashed Hungarian President Victor Orban just as Orban praised Nazi collaborators and attacked George Soros with an antisemitic campaign, and when he helped Poland in its Holocaust-revisionist, ultra-nationalist attempt to whitewash its own Holocaust history. This history highlights how Zionists and antisemites have often found common political ground, precisely as Herzl had predicted. For the antisemites, the idea of the “Jewish State” represents something they can identify with – brute, ultra-nationalist power against a non-white oppressed population (dovetailing with their ultra-nationalist anti-immigrant policies), and Zionist approval has also been used to cleanse their own records – if the Jewish State blue-stamps them, they couldn’t be racist.

Anonymous asked:
how do you respond to the fact that there are two million arabs in israel with equal rights?
- The fucking Nakba law prohibits PCI (Palestinians in the settler state) to discuss or commemorate the tragedy of the Nakba
- The Arabs who were allowed to stay following the war in 1948 were subjected to military rule until 1966.
- A Jewish person has the right to return and claim their citizenship, an Arab or PCI and their descendants in diaspora who is native to Palestine and the settler-occupied territories are not.
- A Jewish convert in the west is somehow more eligible to citizenship in the settler state than a Palestinian Arab in the diaspora.
- There is a wage gap between PCIs and Jewish people in the settler state;
- More than half of the PCI families in the settler state are poor.
- The settler state issued a Nation-state law in 2018 that stated that self-determination is unique to the settler state. Arabic lost its status as an official language and the settler-state mandates and promotes the establishment and development of kibbutzim.
- This gives precedence to settlements in the West Bank as the Likud party considers the West Bank (Judea Samaria, lol) to be part of the settler state.
- PCIs are not allowed to develop their own infrastructure or settlements unless with a permit, which is impossible to get if you're PCI.
- Many PCI communities are forbidden the right to a weapon's license unlike their Jewish counterparts.
- The Call to Prayer ban by Ben Gvir.
- East Jerusalem Palestinians account for 350.000 of the Arabs in the settler state civil registry. They are not eligible to vote.
- PCI communities are treated like fifth columns;
- 70% of PCIs are afraid of expressing their opinions on social media about Palestine, fearing backlash from the Settler state community. A notable case is when Israeli students started chanting "death to arabs" when a student expressed their sympathies for the Palestinians. The PCI student was expelled.
No, 1.65 million Arabs/PCI are not enjoying the same rights as their jewish counterparts in the ethnosupremarcist state.

btw this isn't a Trump Bill this isn't Trump's Fascism this isn't new and unprecedented. this bill (sponsored by a california dem) is actually a reintroduction of a bill previously introduced in 2024 as HR7832 when it passed the house but not the senate. senate border act of 2024 (S4361) which died in congress (also sponsored by a dem btw) also outlined $170M for ai surveillance towers, $47.5M for surveillance drones, $25M for tunnel detection, among other things in the name of 'combatting fentanyl.' this legislation was strongly supported by the biden admin and was literally the border policy that kamala ran on as one of the cornerstones of her campaign

Honestly, I don’t get why anyone wouldn’t like me. I do cool stuff. I make cars. People like cars, don’t they? I make stonks go to the moon. Isn’t that cool? Isn’t making stonks go to the moon something people like? Seriously, c’mon. Appreciate me. I was on Rick And Morty. Wubba lubba dub dub, right? People love that show! I like to hang out. I microdose acid, a cool drug. Remember that time I went on Joe Rogan’s podcast and smoked that joint? Who else would be crazy enough to do that but me?
God, I’m lonely.

This is how any corporation functions. First, increasing profits is done by attracting more customers. Then, once they have all the customers they're going to get, increasing profits is done by increasing prices or cutting costs.
There's also the "landlord" factor there as well as upkeep - no architectural flourish and boring neutral colors makes the building easy to sell if need be, reducing what could be a selling point or point of differentiation to an interchangeable identical-everywhere commodity to be purchased or sold to a competitor depending on convenience.
Brown Box fast food outlets look like that for the same reason every apartment you will ever rent has paint somewhere on the spectrum of white to greyish-beige.
No one wants to pay artists 🤷🏼♀️
