“Intifada is what the kid is doing. Terrorism is what the tank is doing.” -Palestine Action Group Sydney on IG
Update: the image is of Faris Odeh, a Palestinian boy from the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip taken during the Second Intifada by a photojournalist from the Associated Press on 29 October 2000. Ten days later, on 8 November, Odeh was chased and shot in the neck by an Israeli soldier.
It’s an image and quote from Palestine Action Group Sydney which they made in response to the current Australian issue of the NSW government planning to outlaw phrases like “globalise the intifada”.
I see the context you provided in the linked thread. This is a fucked response. Maybe its a good idea to edit your comment with that context here?
From u/rcbrk,
Context: NSW government is about to try criminalising the phrase ‘globalise the intifada’, with other aus governments also considering it.
How does it relate? How can what the kid is doing be globalized? The IDF is in Israel and neighboring areas in the ME. The only interpretation that connects with globalizing that fight is to equate Jewish people around the world with Israel. And that deserves to be banned rhetoric.
It’s not referring to Jewish people at all – that’s the lie being pushed by Minns & Segal & co!
It relates to the globalised nature of the genocide – the complicity of our own government in its pissweak response to the genocide, its support through the hosting of facilities like Pine Gap, gigantic defense contracts with companies like Elbit Systems, permitting the manufacture and supply of F-35 parts to Israel as it relentlessly continues the genocide, integration of corporate and Australian government entities with Palantir.
That user is a Zionist, no surprise they cynically conflate Zionism and Judaism, of which is actually antisemitic to do
The kid is resisting oppression
Intifada means Uprising
Globalize the Uprising means to globally resist oppression
International solidarity.
