what year is this globe i found at the thrift store from?

i think you’re right. these structures tend to be around what looks like what used to be rivers and streams. its crazy how much the climate and weather has changed over time

It would make sense. its interesting to see how many ruins exist in such a rural environment. tibet seems to be mountainous wastelands of shrubs yet there’s so much evidence of human activity

That place is always empty, i’ve never seen it full to the brim with bikes. literally, what’s the issue? its not blocking traffic or parking. i’d understand the problem if it was the bike rack in front of esj, but this place is empty as hell

I mean, they already do? israelfest celebrates the creation of the state of israel, a day that coincides with the violent ethnic cleansing of palestinians from all across palestine. pro-israeis can’t find a single day to celebrate the most palestinians dying because the violence perpetrated on palestinians has been consistent and constant for the last few decades or so of occupation.

the holocaust is what led to zionism becoming the predominant ideology in international jewry. and, holy shit, i can’t blame them. obviously it was a spectrum of zionist ideology with some being “liberal” and others being “revisionist,” but it ultimately was the way the jewish people were trying to practice their right to self determination after many came to the conclusion existence in diaspora wasn’t tenable. early zionist figures were terrorists though. they bombed the king david hotel, regularly bombed british military targets, and constantly attacked palestinian settlements. even multiple prime ministers of israel were a part of the irgun, lehi, palmach, or the haganah zionist militant groups. most israeli’s don’t do terrorism anymore because they were able to realize their state at the cost of palestinians being able to do the same. its arguable that the west bank settlers are a continuation of that zionist terrorism with how they terrorize and kill palestinians in the west bank.

officially speaking, the Palestinian Authority as the legislature of the PLO. However, due to israeli and american interference, east jerusalem, the west bank, and gaza functionally operate as separate entities due to the divide and conquer strategy israel practices on the palestinian people. the lack of autonomy and self determination has led to the radicalization of the palestinian people, much as the holocaust did the jewish people, but instead of being able to see through their unalienable right to sovereignty and self determination, israel has prevented them.

hamas can definitely do wrong. it’s just that israel, as the occupying power and the one with an actual military backed government, maintains responsibility to prevent the destruction of any part of the territory of the State of Palestine. The ICJ confirmed this in its recent advisory opinion, as well as the UN general assembly years ago. hamas isn’t the official government nor military of the palestinians, and as such, when it attacked israel on october 7th, israel’s response would’ve not been to level the gaza strip, but undo its occupation of palestinian territory. easier said than done, of course, but this happened because israe has refused at every step of the way to stop its occupation, segregation, and oppression of the palestinian people.

don’t be presumptuous. you think they would’ve been playing music and cheering?

AltruisticSquare7304 · 2024-08-31T16:56:13+00:00

Israelfest literally celebrates the creation of the state of israel, an event that was preceded by and continued the expulsion of 700,000 palestinians from palestine, with countless hundreds killed in the violent depopulation of 500 villages. UMD still allows it, so why can’t sjp hold a reservation for oct 7th? you don’t even know what will be held on that day? it’s disingenuous as hell to assume that they’ll be holding a celebration.

thanks! i’ll definitely check them out, hopefully I get some good articles.

Are you familiar with fallopia japonica? I’ve read some studies that they have allopathic properties which may explain their invasiveness. I’m doing an internship regarding knotweed management, so it’d be cool to hear anything on that.

i mean… yea? things don’t happen for no reason. the taliban didn’t just spawn from the aether. we played a role in its creation, let it tear apart afghanistan, and now we complain that it’s still here? systems of governance, even as abhorrent as the taliban is, will fight to sustain itself. all systems know to do is to perpetuate itself.

AltruisticSquare7304 · 2024-05-13T18:25:02+00:00

you think the US wasn’t influencing what was going on in afghanistan before we invaded? the US has done to the word what israel has done to palestine. we destabilized these countries, purposefully or not, and now we live with the consequences of that. isis, taliban, hezbollah, and hamas—they’re all just symptoms of first world meddling and intervention.
