I think preconceived notions require zero thought and could just as soon come from your ass.

Reply to 'Don't Look Away': Tlaib Ties Death of 7-Year-Old Palestinian to US Aid to Israel by TheNerdyAnarchist
Patel continued. "We support a thorough and immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's death, and I believe the IDF itself has also indicated it will be looking into what has—what transpired as well."
While I fully appreciate the importance of investigating deaths esp for the family.... I'm Tired of seeing specific investigations into these "isolated" "circumstances" distract from a complete systemic review/ overhaul

One of the people literally left south africa in 1992. They said that isreal won't give converts citizenship so they have to leave to get their 3 month visa renewed again. Plus u have to convert to Judaism. so that might be why there r so few

Article says that over 20K whites have moved from SA to what is now Israel over the last century, seems like it's not just the West Bank based on my reading.
I am surprised it is so low, given the massive white flight out of the country (to Australia, UK, Canada, USA, white coloniser dumps). That's a tiny tiny proportion of the white people who have left.

Reply to Free Palestinians by Epicalyx
Not that creative, they stole the idea. The settlement of Terra Nullius (Land with no people) 100 years earlier, starting in a place they called Manly (Named due to the manliness of the men that lived there) worked out for the British.

A Jewish-only road network, the ‘apartheid roads’ started connecting the hilltop settlements with bridges that span over Palestinian fields and with tunnels that burrow underneath Palestinian towns. This type of infrastructure has in recent decades been greatly extended and currently comprises a full third of the total length of roadways in the West Bank.[13] In the last decade, as armed confrontations in the West Bank subsided, some military checkpoints were removed, allowing Palestinians freer movement between their villages and towns. But this movement was undertaken on a separate and tattered road network that, whenever crossing the Jewish network of highways, bows and bores underneath them. While the Jewish road network leads everywhere to Israel, the Palestinian road network is truncated on all sides by walls, checkpoints, and military zones.

Indeed, on its fiftieth anniversary, the Israeli occupation seems to be in excellent form. Though the Gaza settlements have been removed, those in the West Bank and East Jerusalem prosper, and settler numbers have been growing at a rate of 15,000 people annually.[2] The domination of more than four million Palestinians has stopped being an economic burden and proven to be profitable. The people under occupation are a captive market (literally) for many surplus Israeli manufactured goods. Private industries, including international companies working in the Jewish settlements, prosper thanks to tax breaks, low rents, government subsidies, and a Palestinian labour force that is rendered cheap and flexible because it enjoys no civil or labour rights.[3] Israel’s international exports – many of them military and marketed as ‘road tested in action’ (on the Palestinians, that is) – are also steadily growing as more nations, including the United States and European states, adopt Israel-like xenophobic politics towards minorities, refugees, and migrants (especially Muslim ones).[4]

pretty sure this: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/north-africa-west-asia/vertical-apartheid/ is the article referenced. By Eyal Weizman

I rejoin Baha and the others who are a kilometre away. They are talking to a man, who is the boy’s uncle, and who is likewise watering plants which have been recently bedded out. The sun is going down and the light is changing. The brownish yellow earth, which is darker where it has been watered, is now the primary colour of the whole landscape. He is using the last of the water in the bottom of a 500-litre dark blue plastic barrel. On the surface of the blue barrel 11 patches – like those used for mending punctures but larger – have been carefully stuck. The man explains that this is how he repaired the barrel after a gang from the settlement of Halamish, the settlement with red roofs, came one night, when they knew the water containers were full of spring rain, and slashed them with knives. Another barrel, lying on the terrace below, was irreparable. Further off on the same terrace stands the gnarled stump of an olive tree, which, to judge by its girth, must have been several hundred, perhaps a thousand, years old. A few nights ago, the uncle says, they cut it down with a chainsaw.

The dissenting Israeli architect Eyal Weizman has pointed out in a courageous study that this total terrestrial domination begins in the drawings of district planners and architects (see www.opendemocracy.net). On such drawings not a speck of ‘our dust’ is to be seen. The violence begins long before the arrival of the tanks and jeeps. He talks of a ‘politics of verticality’, whereby the defeated even when ‘at home’ are being overseen and undermined. The effect of this on daily life is relentless. As soon as somebody one morning says to himself, ‘I’ll go and see ...’ he has to stop short and check how many barrier-crossings the ‘outing’ is likely to involve. The simplest everyday decision is hobbled, its foreleg tethered to its hind leg.

How is that ableist?
Preconceived notions of any type will form in the same location, would they not?
Is it ableist to use your brain?
Zombist anti-oppressive practice!

Reply to A Coup d’État in Israel? The Bitter Harvest of Colonialism by kano
I'd like to read a deeper analysis of the situation that takes into consideration the recent, unprecedented diplomatic shift between the Saudi regime and Iran, as this is extremely relevant to Israel and these despotic moves by Netanyahu and the related protests are happening exactly within this context.
