#firstaliyah — Public Fediverse posts

⬆️ @oatmeal

Even ignoring the biblical account of #FirstExodus prior to 12th c. BCE, we have documented history of MULTIPLE #JewishDisplacements

740 BC: #FirstJewishExile
586 BC: #SecondJewishExile
540 BC: Fall of #Babylon; Return to #Judah

1881: #RussianRevolution; #FirstAliyah
1904: #SecondAliyah

And the virulent #antisemitism in #EasternEurope and #Germany that climaxed in the #Holocaust in the early 20th century — ALL happened before your #cherryPicked date of 1948.

Oh no no, you don't get to #cherrypick the time frame when it suits you.

12th c.BCE arrival of #Philistines in #Canaan, ignoring that #Jews were present since before that

1917 First wave of #Zionists, ignoring #Paltestinian hatred against #Jews since before the #FirstAliyah -- Why is it ok to bring Zionism up from more than 100 years ago, but not #Arabism?

>> What #Hamas did 2 mo ago is not the issue ➡️ https://kolektiva.social/@Darryl/111570840047394442

Now you want to go back 50 years & blame #US?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, if you came here looking for #Islamophobia.

My toot was about #comfortingLies & #unpleasantTruths involving

1. Militant Terrorism — #AxisOfResistance

2. Geopolitical Calculations — #Arabism

3. History of #Palestine before #FirstAliyah — which predates #Zionism

I DO try different angles to make things exciting. Which of the 3 angles did you find new, exciting, or racist, & why?

Please share to help me hone my message! Thx

Repeated #Jewish #displacement crystallizes NEED for Jewish home ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111494007586354401

No label is needed. We ought to accommodate the repeatedly marginalized

But it's the label that gives rise to political #jingoism on both sides. Most people are not ready, willing, or able to look past the label

Also Jewish exclusion attempts in #Palestine predate #FirstAliyah, which itself predates #Zionism ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111494053066953051

The real problem is #Arabism ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111518104428222810

#Palestinians loudly complain of #displacement, but they aren't the only ones who have been displaced in history.

15+ million #Hindus & #Muslims were displaced after #BritishIndia was partitioned into #India and #Pakistan in 1947.

#Jewish people suffered displacement MULTIPLE times, even ignoring #FirstExodus prior to 12th c. BCE:

740 BC: #FirstJewishExile
586 BC: #SecondJewishExile
540 BC: Fall of #Babylon; Return to #Judah

1881: #RussianRevolution; #FirstAliyah
1904: #SecondAliyah
