The project was doomed partly because Soviet Jews already had a place in their communities more or less.

Since the worst antisemitism of the Tsar was ended with the October revolution and the years after it, that rings as if it could be true.

unless Israel lifts the blockade.

Or Egypt. Israel is not able to control what gets in and out of Gaza if Egypt opens its border. Which would make lifting the blockade more likely.

Thanks

@CARCOSA@hexbear.net could you pin this or a similar thread for the next couple of days please?

Mohammed Deif, a senior Hamas military commander, said earlier that the rocket fire marked the start of “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”, and he called on Palestinians everywhere to fight the Israeli occupation.

“We’ve decided to say enough is enough,” Deif said as he urged all Palestinians to confront Israel. “This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on Earth,” he said in an audio message.

Which if we link to it will get us 100% targeted by who do that anyhow already.

Marx famously was known for not being pedantic about use of terms and phrases.

Israel can't have Hitlerism, though Fascist thoughts and elements of Ethnonationalist support are not a rare thing. Being more or less clear with terms matters as it is a necessary differentiating element for material conditions and intersectional pressures that happen. Antifascism that we do for decades also means to not equate Nazism with things that aren't Nazism.

It is a problem when Israel and Nazi Germany are equated. It is also antisemitic and this community tries to be both (un)critically supportive of liberation fights (by less than progressive forces instead of only ideal Marxists) in Palestine and the Levant and not to ignore antisemitism.

I do really did the outdated voice recording of Lenin in regards to Anti Jewish pogroms. Lenin's real voice reading the speech

Plenty of decisions of the central committee and the politburo during that time were aimed at securing the Soviet Union, which includes actions against reactionaries and white army terrorist leftovers especially in border regions and those in which power couldn't be projected well into. However the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, while having a slapping flag that would make our 2SLGBTQ* comrades proud, never was home to more than 20 000 people labeling as Jews, who remained a minority and who were also not as much in political control as the name implies.

More Jews fought in the Red army than lived in the JAO.

Is for you fascism and nazism / hitlerism the same? And similar to settler colonialism? Israel's genocidal settler colonialism is not Nazism. It isn't Hitlerism either. Though Ukraine's military political complex is filled with Fascists and (Neo-)Nazis.

How do you mean that?

Does really read like someone writing their sociology thesis about us.

At a festival where there is also political input the Content is a tent in which political content is brought to the masses by the masses. I liked that pun. However at a less vanilla festival the content was the place where you could have nice cuddles and just chill out with good vibes.

Only if you wear colonial british western garb and ties are you respactable.

Wearing stuff that aligns to the working class or with anti colonial movement from states that are oppressed it is bad optics.

Is shit I did hear too often.

The Soviets did kill quite a few experts when they were too corrupted. It was of course a strategic decision how to act towards them, but it wasn't as easy as in the USA.
