Eat Shit
I had assumed that the mistreatment of those in the Occupied Territories was something that I knew the horrific basics of until I read this. It seems that 94% of the settlements have inadequate provisions for their sewage, often resulting in excrement being pumped in fashions that can either contaminate drinking water or occasionally sweep free of their position and drown infants and the elderly. This is usually the point where I’m expected to say something balancing about the terrible suffering of the Jews in the Holocaust {perpetrated by the Palestinians, of course} or talk about suicide bombings or rocket attacks or so on, or at least state that I acknowledge Israel’s “right to exist” to show everyone that I’m not a raging anti-semite.
I won’t.
This is horrific and I shouldn’t have to compromise my belief in the merits of internationalism to say so. The settlers have such little regard {or perhaps so much contempt} for those who’s land they have stolen that they are prepared to allow their waste to flood them. That is not something that you can argue the suffering of “Your people” has mitigated, it is a basically accepted point amongst civilised humanity that you do not flood other people with your shit. To try and bring in some non sequiters about a group of deranged bigots that stand little hope of ever defeating the equally prejudiced and unhinged IDF is effectively an act of apologism.
This sort of horrible nonsense is the sort of natural conclusion that Zionism can’t help itself but lead to. If you base any philosophy around the principle that your own group’s interest can be advanced over that of another you will lead to somewhere dire and anyone saying that this sort of treatment of people isn’t has obviously become such a ruthless partisan that any attempts at debate are bound to be futile.
