OBI-WAN KENOBI | PART 3
HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN as DARTH VADER

The concept of Israel being corrupt or the aggressor is a new concept for many people. Especially those people who grew up in the west/other states that benefit from their colonial past. I don't blame people who have a lot of unlearning to do about Israel but let's talk about some of the stuff you might not know. Israel's occupation of Palestine isn't the only human rights violation under its belt.

1. Israel had extremely close ties with South African apartheid leaders (surprise surprise) like John Vorster and Percy Yutar. Israel provided arms/anti-riot vehicles to the South African Apartheid Regime through the Zionist Federation. (Wiki)
2. Israel, despite a weapons embargo by UN Security Council, sent substantial weapons to the Hutu militants who massacred over 1 million Tutsi. The Israeli Supreme Court has also sealed documents detailing these exports despite numerous appeals by activists. (Source).
3. It has also funded/supplied weapons to the following atrocities: Mayan Genocide 1960-1996, Srebrenica genocide (Israel supreme court also refuses to release documents on this), Occupation of Kashmir and a bunch more (other involvements include Pinochet Coup, Ethnic cleansing of Armenians
4. Palestinians are not the only people facing racism/discriminations at the hands of Israel. Israel has a running history of discrimination against its Ethiopian Jew population. From questioning their Jewish origins, to giving Ethopian women depo-provera without their consent/knowledge, to the brutal beating of Damas Pakedeh, to secretly disposing of blood donations by Ethiopian Jews (list goes on). (Wiki)
5. Also did you know that the US, every year, will send thousands of law enforcement personnel to train with the IDF on tactics such as crowd control, use of force and surveillance (Source).
   Here is an amazing article that talks about how Israeli occupation helps fuel America's problem with police brutality.

Again, for a lot of people, the idea that Israel is evil is very new but the world is more connected than ever before and we can share information to combat all of this.
Israel, and its allies (other settler colonial states like US/France/UK) have an incentive to block this information. In fact, when you go through these sources, you'll notice that Israel gets a lot of support/arms/funding from these states so it can carry out these atrocities. Also keep your "whataboutism" to yourself. Any country that does this is in the wrong.
Nationalism has no place when discussing human rights violations and its time you changed your stance on Israel and see them for what they are: evil.
