Ethnic cleansing? Genocide? Apartheid?

Throwing around these buzzwords to describe the Israel-Hamas war because you’ve seen them on social media doesn’t make you right, and it doesn’t make you an activist.

It makes you ignorant, intellectually dishonest, and lazy for parroting biased talking points with no concept about what these terms actually mean.

What is apartheid?

Well, it was first used to describe the political system in South Africa and today’s Namibia whereby racism was institutionalised. This manner of governance meant that clear racial segregation would occur, in a manner that benefited the white race and would actively oppress those who had darker skin.

This meant that there were white-only spaces, white people would get prioritised when it came to education and jobs, and relationships/marriages between white peoples and coloured people were illegal.

Is Israel objectively an apartheid state? There are no laws that actively favour one group over the other. There is a sizeable population of Israeli Arabs that can thrive in the same way as the Israeli Jews can. There are laws against discrimination on the basis of gender, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

Palestinians from Gaza are allowed to work in Israel through a work permit system. There are about 150,000 Palestinians working in Israel, most of which live in Israel and some come from Gaza/the West Bank. They aren’t denied rights institutionally.

Is it harder to get a job or education in Israel if you’re a Palestinian from Gaza? Sure, because of different governments. It’s like how it’s a lot easier for you to find a job in your own country (in terms of paperwork and bureaucracy) than overseas. But you’re not denied the right to apply.

Of course, if you have a history of violence, a criminal record, or your family has ties to terrorists, then it’ll be a lot harder to get an approved work permit. But that’s not apartheid. That’s common sense, and a regulation practiced by all countries that minimally desire to protect their own population from danger.

Ethnic cleansing and genocide

These two concepts can go hand-in-hand. Ethnic cleansing refers to the mass expulsion or killing of a group of people based on their ethnicity. Similarly, genocide is the purposeful killing of a group of people solely with the intention of annihilating them.

Famous examples? The Holocaust, of course, where the Nazi regime believed in the superiority of the Aryan race and decided to declare genocide on the Jews, Romanis, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, people with “Asian features”, and many many other groups. Anyone who they didn’t think was “pure”.

Their aim was to ensure that the Aryan race propagated without having “impure” blood affecting the bloodlines. They even started a eugenics programme called Lebensborn to ensure that more pure Aryan babies were born.

More recent examples? The Rwandan genocide where the Hutus attempted to wipe out the Tutsis on the basis of ethnicity. They mandated that Tutsis mention their ethnicity on state-issued ID cards in order for the Hutus in power to be able to identify them and then kill them.

Or the Yazidi genocide which happened so recently, in which ISIL killed, raped, and sent thousands of Yazidis into conversion camps on the basis of their ethnicity. They also took Yazidi women as sex slaves and raped and tortured them.

Or the Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine State in Myanmar, and how there was a mass killing and expulsion of them from the country, forcing them to flee to Bangladesh to take refuge, crating the world’s largest refugee camp.

Or how ISIS killed thousands of people from Christian groups in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Libya because of their faith, leading the US, EU, and UK to label this as religious genocide and condemned their actions.

Has Israel been practicing ethnic cleansing and genocide on Palestinians all these years?

Well, the birth rate of the Palestinian population in Gaza, the West Bank, and in Israel has been steadily increasing all these years.

So, no. No ethnic cleansing, no genocide. They are free to have as many children as they desire.

The UN Genocide Convention

The United Nations has 5 actions that constitute genocide.

1. Killing members of a target group

Israel is targeting Hamas officials with the aim of wiping out the terrorist group and ensuring that such a deadly attack on Israeli soil doesn’t happen again. I suppose you could call it genocide against Hamas, but they’re killing Hamas because they’re terrorists, not because they’re Palestinian. Shouldn’t everyone believe in genocide against terrorists?

But look at Black Saturday. Look at Hamas’ rhetoric. They repeatedly call for the annihilation of Israel and genocide of Jews. When will the media start believing what they say, word for word, instead of trying to spin it into “hmm maybe they want to kill all the Jews because they’re freedom fighters!”

War has collateral damage. Of course the innocent civilians don’t deserve to suffer just because of the actions of their government, but there have been warnings given to the Palestinian civilians prior to Israel striking the areas. There are consequences of attacking a country first, and then having that country attack you back.

2. Causing people of the group serious bodily or mental harm

The UN refers to sexual violence as the prime example of non-fatal harm.

Sexual violence has occurred. Hamas have kidnapped and raped women and even paraded the bodies of half-naked women around. But I f Israel had done the same, it’ll be the first thing appearing on everyone’s BBC push notifications (without even being confirmed as true).

3. Imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group

Many people refer to the blockade that Israel imposed around the Gaza Strip as an example of this.

This blockade was imposed by both Israel and Egypt in 2005. Its aim was to prevent smuggling of weapons into Gaza, and isolate the reign of Hamas to the region. This was to ensure the safety of Israel and Egypt.

Did this blockade pose serious challenges to the Gazan civilians? Of course. But that’s a consequence of having a terrorist government. If you have a terrorist group running your country, don’t be surprised if neighbouring countries are extra careful about who or what they allow in or out of the borders.

Many authorities from other Arab nations have also expressed approval of Egypt’s border restrictions, and even encouraged Egypt to flood the terror tunnels that Hamas has dug under the city. As a side note, other Arab nations have not historically been very kind or welcoming to Palestinians. Syria has killed over 4000 Palestinians, and many Arab countries are now refusing any refuge for Palestinians. But no one cares about that because it doesn’t make Israel look bad. All they do now is use the images of dead Palestinians under the hands of Syria and reuse them to propagate fake news.

The blockade has been labelled as a human rights violation because of collective punishment. Many humanitarian organisations believe that the blockade has caused the Palestinian civilians disproportionate harm.

Contrary to popular belief, Israel isn’t disallowing humanitarian aid from coming through the borders. Fuel, food, hygiene products, clothes, and shoes have been coming through the borders regularly for years. The Gaza Strip also has electricity and internet access and water.

Do all these items reach the Palestinian civilians? Well, there has been evidence that Hamas has been intercepting a lot of the supplies sent by humanitarian groups. This is not surprising since the UNRWA tweeted that Hamas has stole fuel from hospitals in Gaza in order to launch more rockets at Israel (but quickly deleted it after realising that it goes against their agenda to paint Hamas in a bad light.) In addition, the returned hostages have mentioned that there are many aid supplies hidden in the terror tunnels by Hamas. Instead of giving them to the civilians, they are hoarding it for themselves.

There has also been video evidence that some people are reselling these aid items in stores at exorbitant prices in order to turn profits. This has been well-documented for the last 10 years.

Is blockading the region to mitigate terrorism a disproportionate response? Well, it’s like asking if heightened security and stricter border control at airports is a disproportionate response after 9/11. Is being cautious and worrying about the security of your country an irrational reaction to the constant threat of terrorism?

4. Preventing births

Gaza’s population growth rate per annum is about 1.99%, which is the 39th highest in the world! Their population is allowed to propagate freely.

Israel isn’t preventing births of Palestinian babies.

5. Forcibly transferring children out of the group

No, Israel hasn’t been taking Palestinian children and forcing them to convert/keeping young Palestinian girls as sex slaves. Like I said, if this was truly happening, all the news outlets would be so quick to publish the story before verifying it.

Can we trust the UN Genocide standards?

The UN is known for corruption and have been exploiting the Palestinian people by selling them the humanitarian supplies instead of distributing them for free, which they should because these supplies literally are donations.

The UN also has differing standards of what they would label as genocide. For example, they refuse to call what China is doing to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang as genocide, even though the situation does fit many of their own criteria.

Hence, to all of you out there overusing these terms without knowing what they mean, make up your own mind about things. No one can force you to believe anything and no one can force you to change your mind.

But at the very least, do your due diligence and educate yourself before spouting tired buzzwords. Repeating misinformation doesn’t help anyone and can be very harmful.

A bit of a history lesson for any of you out there who have never picked up a book and get their history lessons from Tiktok. No, Israel is not 75 years old, but over 3200 years old. Jews are the indigenous people of Judea, (orig. “Yehuda” in Hebrew, yehud = Jew) an ancient region located in the southern part of the historical land of Israel. I am a history professor. As much as I hate getting into politics, I will not allow people to rewrite history or erase a people’s heritage for political agendas.

I finally stopped following Marina today. I'm sick and tired of her saying nothing in defense to the innocent people who were raped, kidnapped and murdered Oct 7. She only sympathizes with Gaza and Palestine. Not a single word for the Israeli women who were brutally raped or murdered. Not a word on all the Israeli children slaughtered and burned alive. Not a single word on any of the victims of Oct 7. It's literally everyday she posts about this and not a sympathetic word for Israeli children, women and all who suffered on Oct 7. She's suppose to be a feminist. 🙄 I think I'm done posting about Marina on my page. These are her recent posts. Sexy pictures while defending one side of the war and ignoring the other. No neutrality. Loudly anti-Semitic.

I am so disappointed by a lot of people this year (who showed their true colors) but none more then Marina.

I understand people have their opinions and whatever, but when your opinion is so grossly wrong...and you insist in that grossly wrong opinion daily...like come on.

I stopped paying attention to Marina. I stopped like a month ago. Her posts on IG was a daily dose of "cease fire" , "save the poor children of Gaza", "help Palestine"...etc. without a single mention of the atrocities Israel went through. Nothing on the Israeli babies placed in ovens and tortured to death. Nothing on bringing home the hostages. Nothing on all the little girls and women who were raped then executed. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Talk about a feminist. Yeah right.

The same thing goes with Shirley Manson. Not a single thing about what Israeli people have gone through, the horrible rapes, the hostages....all about saving Palestine and Palestinian children. What about Israeli children? Then Shirley goes on a rage when anyone brings up why she leaves out any sympathy for Israel's children.

The weapon here is children. And don't get me wrong, Palestinian children are innocent and as well as victims of Hamas and this war, but ignoring Israel and their children? What about the raped little girls and women? There were teenage girls literally raped and sodomized at that festival ground. Women too. One woman was decapitated and had her breast cut off. This was all on film. Why no sympathy for them? Or the hostages? Some of the young female hostages that were released are finally talking. Many of them were raped by their captors. Any sympathy from Marina or Shirley? No.

That's why if you noticed, Garbage's official IG has lost some followers these past few months. Shirley's the only one posting under the Garbage IG. The other guys are too old to give a shit about social media.

Marina's follower count is stuck in 1 million. It's been like that for the past 2 years. Stagnant, which tells me she doesn't get much follows.

You can smell a closeted antisemitic person just by what they post every damn day.

I remember when Lana signed that cease fire petition. That is all she did and she never promoted it on her social media. I don't agree with that petition at all, but Lana isn't badgering her followers every damn day about saving this country or that or opinionating about the war. That's why I'm still interested in her music.

Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes) posted only one time about saving Palestinian children. That was months ago. That was her only post. She's not badgering people daily. That's why I'm still interested in her music.

I took Marina and Garbage off my music library. I have physical CD's of them I plan on giving away for FREE. Like, these two women are basically dead to me. It saddens me because I was a fan of both for years. I have thousands of posts on my Tumblr site going back to 2011. If I had the time and energy, I would delete them all.

However, I don't have to pay them any mind or support their closeted antisemitic asses anymore.

On a side note, thank God Lana is no longer friends with Marina.

Marina was the one who fled and stopped following Lana after that Culture essay Lana wrote.

What a blessing it is that Marina isn't loyal to anyone.

Well it happened again. This time Natasha wants people to donate their money to "help aid the people of Gaza" which in itself is wrong to do because Hamas takes everything that's coming in. Every single donation truck has been taken by them. I thought Natasha would be smarter then this. This is her second post wanting to cease fire and save Gaza. Another one bites the dust I guess.

How long has Natasha been living under a fairy superdust rock?

Everyone knows by now (at least the ones with brain cells left) that everything and anything that is donated to Gaza, goes straight to the terrorist group Hamas. Not even donation trucks with food goes to civilians. So, donating to Doctors Without Borders is a joke. The whole thing is a sick joke.

I guess I'm removing yet another artist I use to love off my music library. First Marina, then Shirley and now Bat For Lashes.

Remember the time when labels forbade their artists from talking politics or choosing political sides? No talk of wars or anything outside of music. That's because labels knew that if you pissed off your fan base, no more sales on music. I use to think that was crazy but nowadays? Not so crazy.

You won't ever find me listening to artists who support the wrong side of history. Especially an artist like Marina and Shirley Manson, who are both gung ho on posting daily spats about helping Palestinians and nothing about the victims of October 7th.

Not a single word from Shirley, Marina and Natasha about all those women who were raped, sodomized and butchered on October 7th. Not talk about all those Israeli babies that were either butchered or cooked alive in ovens. Nothing about the hostages either.

So fuck Natasha, Marina and Shirley. What a bunch of alleged antisemitics these bitches turned out to be.

Seriously, fuck all of them.
