There are #UncannySimilarities between the biggest #faultline in America today & that of pre-revolutionary #France under #LouisXV
But there’s a new #MAGA #horseshoe developing in modern US, with ultra-rich (who prosper on the back of urbanites and thoroughly enjoy the amenities of urban life) joining the rural poor to surgically divide us & cause the morcellation of urban America
#Walz can help bridge the #RuralUrban divide — #InteriorHeartland vs #CoastalElites

Supporting #Palestinians is supporting #Hamas by proxy, as it is THEY that have let Hamas fight #inTheirName instead of denouncing them & distancing from them. They need to take their destiny in their OWN hands with a fresh manifesto along the lines of #inOurName.
Please click through both hashtags if you want more discussion of why Palestinians are mostly responsible for their own plight, and how blaming others will not ameliorate their situation.

There are #UncannySimilarities between the nearly contemporaneous #US and #Myanmar elections in 2020.
Just weeks after US was grappling with #Jan6 insurrection mounted by election deniers, Myanmar's military persistently alleged #ElectionFraud and replaced the #ElectionCommission.
United States faces a similar risk in the aftermath of #Election2024 as #Trump has openly signaled that he will not accept the results if he does not win.
#CivilWar in Myanmar continues to this day.

#UncannySimilarities in #FarmersProtest in #France, #India, and now #Poland, especially in timing, which does not seem coincidental at all ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111918731693136786
— First time it is #happenstance.
— Second time, it is #coincidence.
— Third time, it is #enemyAction.

Oh please, stop this BS about compassion and creator.
You are a #Hamas-simp who does not see lack of compassion in deliberately killing civilians using rocket launches.
What happened to APA research paper you were going to write?
You learned nothing from the #UncannySimilarities between #BritishIndia and #BritishPalestine, nor from the difference between #Gandhi (peaceful) & #Bose (violent)
And you have the chutzpah to lecture me on peace and compassion?
-
"Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom," he roared.
They gave him blood, but he did not give them #freedom.
#Bose was a freedom fighter who differed with #Gandhi on #nonViolence and wanted to wage war against #colonial rulers in #BritishIndia.
Among #UncannySimilarities, we can replace #Providence with #Allah, and #Nippon with #Iran in his speech, "Through the grace of Providence and through the help of generous Nippon [old name of #Japan]"

There are #UncannySimilarities in centuries of #TurkishOccupation of #Arabia-#Palestine & those of #MuslimOccupation of #MedievalIndia — both subsequently under #BritishEmpire, & both fighting for independence.
There were 2 factions fighting #BritishIndia for independence — one violent, led by #Bose, aligned with #Japan & #Nazi #Germany Axis, while the other peaceful, led by #Gandhi
Guess which one succeeded?
Try freeing yourself from #Hamas & #AxisOfResistance

⬆️ #Russia now using propaganda to destabilize #Moldova just like it accused #Ukraine of "abandoning" #MinskAgreements to justify invasion
#Transdniestria is a breakaway region of Moldova that Russia invaded & occupied since 1990s under pretext of protecting "threatened Russian language speakers"
"This approach is almost identical to [Russian] narratives… to justify #FullScaleInvasion of Ukraine" says KyivIndependent

Not alleged uprising.
#Russia invaded #Ukraine twiceMoldova's #Transdniestria is stirring just like Ukraine's #Luhansk did 10 yrs ago
After Russia annexed #Crimea in 2014, pro-#Russian #secessionists declared ind. in #Donetsk & #Luhansk —> war in #Donbas
I'm pointing out #UncannySimilarities between Luhansk 2014 & Transdniestria 2024 in #Putin's #revanchistDreams to recreate #IronCurtain comprising at least Ukraine, Moldova, #Romania, & #Bulgaria ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111447116135374826

Unfortunately, I can't see any of your toots from that fateful day, so I assumed that you wrote the quoted text (below).
It was in the context of partition of #BritishIndia into #India & #Pakistan, but because of myriad #UncannySimilarities, it also applied to partition of #BritishPalestine.
#TwoStateSolution was accepted by #Israelis but rejected by #Arabs.
Mortal enemies must share land that is partitioned to keep them separate, and BOTH sides need to make sacrifices.

⬆️ @vidyarthi
>> no doubt people interpreted it as the democracy of minority-appeasement and majority-shaming
Majority of #India interpreted "#secular" just fine, except #FarRight #HinduNationalists.
In 1947 they wanted ALL land (incl E. & W. #Pakistan) with no partition (#UncannySimilarities with #FromTheRiverToTheSea) and assassinated #Gandhi for his pro-partition stance in 1948.
Just like #FarRight in #Israel assassinated Yitzhak #Rabin in 1995 ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111470408491233080

This grotesque hijacking of #Hinduism by #Hindutva Movement is what precipitated destruction of #BabriMasjid in 1992
That's why I said there are #UncannySimilarities in #LKAdvani's #Ayodhya march to #BabriMasjid in 1992 and the inopportune trek by #ArielSharon to #AlAqsa on #TempleMount 9 yrs later.
There have been destruction & attempts to raze places of worship in #Jerusalem too for centuries, but not in 2001. It triggered #SecondIntifada though
-
⬆️ @vidyarthi
Ok now I have some context about the timeframe. Regardless of timeframe or parties involved, "riots" are never "peaceful."
Dictionary def of riot is "violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd"
There have been destruction & attempts to raze places of worship in #Jerusalem too, for centuries, hence #UncannySimilarities.
The inopportune trek by #ArielSharon to #AlAqsa on #TempleMount in 2001, triggering #SecondIntifada, was similar to #LKAdvani marching to #BabriMasjid in 1992
-
⬆️ @vidyarthi
As my bio says, I don't know EVERYTHING, but I'm well-versed in the #Ayodhya conflict.
I was traveling through curfew-stricken areas of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan when #BabriMasjid was razed in 1992. So, I have first-hand experience with the ensuing "riots," which were anything but "peaceful."
I know you've been following my views for a long time, & I appreciate that. So, you MUST know why my post was prefaced with #UncannySimilarities
OTOH, I am still at a loss on your post

30 years ago, #Hindu zealots razed a 16th century #mosque in the #Indian city of #Ayodhya.
Destruction of the mosque sparked nationwide riots that killed 2,000 people, mostly Muslims.
As Hindu devotees prepare to inaugurate a grand temple at the same site this weekend, #India's minority #Muslims plan to begin building a new mosque in the same city later this year, hoping to make a fresh start after a bloody, decades-long dispute.

Wonder if #MiddleEast will ever learn from #India's experience of subjugation by both #Muslims & #British for centuries (#UncannySimilarities), then accepting a #TwoStateSolution in 1947, then taking charge of their own destiny, and now forging joint #UK-India naval security ties for mutual benefit.
Wonder if we will ever see #Palestinians forge strong #jointSecurity ties with #Israel to drive #Hamas out of their business of fighting a #permanentStateOfWar in the Middle East #inTheirName 🤔

On this day, the 3rd anniversary of #Jan6 insurrection in #US, there is special significance of this #Myanmar story, which was unfolding at exactly the same time as the insurrection here ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111710131891393855
#UncannySimilarities, at least as far as what the future portends if #Trump is re-elected in #Election2024
We might not see a real election for a very very long time

#Canada is also in the top 5 for #IsraelApartheid, just like #Khalistan #secessionist movement.
#US is in neither.
US is beset with its own #domesticExtremism and #GOP #politicalExtremism, but Canada might be staring at a #globalExtremism problem.
There are #UncannySimilarities in Canada being in the top 5 for both issues, and both of these spikes happened soon after #Trump’s loss, but before the #Nijjar incident and #Oct7 #Hamas attacks.
Remember, 9/11 was a #failureOfImagination

⬆️ @Bam @flowerpot @paninid @wolfsbruder
I didn't say it was "coined" after #Trump lost in 2020.
I said it started spreading and spiking after that.
Moreover, there are #UncannySimilarities and strong correlation on the timing of spikes in #Israeli #Apartheid and #Khalistan movement ➡️
https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111698879612434334You have to use your predictive powers to connect the dots and see why the near-simultaneous spikes in both of these trends are troubling for 2024 and beyond 🙂
-
To the above, I should’ve also added Qasem #Soleimani who was responsible for #extraterritorial and clandestine military operations in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, and who was assassinated by #US in #Baghdad when neither #Iran nor #Iraq were at war with #US
-
The point was to highlight the #UncannySimilarities regarding extraterritorial terrorism.
I hope you got that point.
-
They key similarities are #extraterritoriality and #terrorism.
I explain the #Khalistan #secessionist angle here ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111501161171427318
These separatists have been operating freely in #Canada for decades, and they planned and executed the plane bombings from there.
For decades, #India has repeatedly sought #Canadian govt cooperation in reining them in, but they consistently refused — like #Turkey does not consider #Hamas a terrorist organization.
-
#Turkey detained 34 people for alleged involvement in spying & planning abductions for #Israel's #Mossad intelligence agency.
Turkey does NOT consider #Hamas a #terrorist organization.
It had warned #Israel that it would be "doomed to pay a heavy price" if it tried to assassinate members of #Hamas on Turkish soil.
#OperationMole puts #Nijjar incident in #Canada & #Pannun incident in #US in sharp relief — rooting out extra-territorial terrorists.

⬆️ @TruthSandwich @notwithstanding @martin
#Muslims were not indigenous to #India. Yet, they #occupied it for centuries before #British.
Imagine if India denied #Pakistan's right to exist, claimed the entirety of #BritishIndia, and threw tantrums to restore both borders (#Pakistan East & West) to pre-1947 borders & reconstitute undivided India, Muslims would have a fit in reverse indignation.
Why? What's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

You are correctly tugging at multiple threads.1. #Secular #oneState or #noStateSolution is a fantasy. This is informed by our collective experience in the partition of #BritishIndia, which had many #uncannySimilarities with #BritishPalestine, least of which is that BOTH were offered #TwoStateSolution in 1947.
Mortal enemies #India & #Pakistan settled — Neither was perfectly happy, but it was good enough.
There was still violence, but neither tried to eliminate other

#PoliticalAllegory idea based on #uncannySimilarities between #MiddleEast & #SouthAmerica — #TerritorialDispute in former #British #colony mediated by #Russia, #Britain, & #America 100 years ago.
Dispute endures as #Venezuela says #American & #European colluded to cheat their country out of land.
They also need their own #McMahonHusseinCorrespondence to resolve the 1966 agreement among Venezuela, Britain, & #BritishGuyana.

@GottaLaff
"Under no circumstances…" is a pretty hard line but very likely to be crossed in a global conflict regardless of what #KamalaHarris saidAfter #WWI, we moved borders (#Poland) and created entirely new nation states (#Baltics) ➡️ https://www.voanews.com/a/how-wwi-changed-the-map-of-europe/1970075.html
After #WWII, we kept borders fixed but moved people instead (e.g., #India-#Pakistan #partition and #displacement, #uncannySimilarities to #Israel)
After another global conflict, the international community might have to do both, sadly
