LA CAUSE PALESTINIENNE
En septembre #1983, Gilles #Deleuze écrit ce texte qui n’a pas vieillit d’une ligne. À vous de le diffuser. [ Dans Deux Régimes de fous, textes et entretiens 1975-1995, Éditions de Minuit, 2003, p. p. 221-223. ]
La cause palestinienne est d’abord l’ensemble des injustices que ce peuple a subies et ne cesse de subir. Ces injustices sont les actes de violence, mais aussi les illogismes, les faux raisonnements, les fausses garanties qui prétendent les compenser ou les justifier.
(…) D’un bout à l’autre, il s’agira de faire comme si le peuple palestinien, non seulement ne devait plus être, mais n’avait jamais été.
Les conquérants étaient de ceux qui avaient subi eux-mêmes le plus grand #génocide de l’ #histoire. De ce génocide, les sionistes avaient fait un mal absolu. Mais transformer le plus grand génocide de l’histoire en mal absolu, c’est une vision religieuse et mystique, ce n’est pas une vision historique. Elle n’arrête pas le mal ; au contraire, elle le propage, elle le fait retomber sur d’autres innocents, elle exige une réparation qui fait subir à ces autres une partie de ce que les #juifs ont subi (l’expulsion, la mise en ghetto, la disparition comme peuple). Avec des moyens plus « froids » que le génocide, on veut aboutir au même résultat.
Les USA et l’Europe devaient réparation aux juifs. Et cette réparation, ils la firent payer par un peuple dont le moins qu’on puisse dire est qu’il n’y était pour rien, singulièrement innocent de tout holocauste et n’en ayant même pas entendu parler. C’est là que le grotesque commence, aussi bien que la violence. Le #sionisme, puis l’État d’ #Israël exigeront que les Palestiniens les reconnaissent en droit. Mais lui, l’État d’Israël, il ne cessera de nier le fait même d’un peuple palestinien. On ne parlera jamais de #Palestiniens, mais d’ #Arabes de #Palestine, comme s’ils s’étaient trouvés là par hasard ou par erreur. Et plus tard, on fera comme si les Palestiniens expulsés venaient du dehors, on ne parlera pas de la première guerre de résistance qu’ils ont menée tout seuls. On en fera les descendants d’Hitler, puisqu’ils ne reconnaissaient pas le droit d’Israël. Mais Israël se réserve le droit de nier leur existence de fait. C’est là que commence une fiction qui devait s’étendre de plus en plus, et peser sur tous ceux qui défendaient la cause palestinienne. Cette fiction, ce pari d’Israël, c’était de faire passer pour antisémites tous ceux qui contesteraient les conditions de fait et les actions de l’Etat sioniste. Cette opération trouve sa source dans la froide politique d’Israël à l’égard des Palestiniens.
Israël n’a jamais caché son but, dès le début : faire le vide dans le territoire palestinien. Et bien mieux, faire comme si le territoire palestinien était vide, destiné depuis toujours aux sionistes. Il s’agissait bien de colonisation, mais pas au sens européen du XIX° siècle : on n’exploiterait pas les habitants du pays, on les ferait partir. Ceux qui resteraient, on n’en ferait pas une main-d’œuvre dépendant du territoire, mais plutôt une main-d’œuvre volante et détachée, comme si c’étaient des immigrés mis en ghetto. Dès le début, c’est l’achat des terres sous la condition qu’elles soient vides d’occupants, ou vidables. C’est un génocide, mais où l’extermination physique reste subordonnée à l’évacuation géographique : n’étant que des Arabes en général, les Palestiniens survivants doivent aller se fondre avec les autres Arabes. L’extermination physique, qu’elle soit ou non confiée à des mercenaires, est parfaitement présente. Mais ce n’est pas un génocide, dit-on, puisqu’elle n’est pas le « but final » : en effet, c’est un moyen parmi d’autres.
La complicité des #Etats-Unis avec Israël ne vient pas seulement de la puissance d’un lobby sioniste. Elias Sanbar a bien montré comment les #États-Unis retrouvaient dans Israël un aspect de leur histoire : l’extermination des Indiens, qui, là aussi, ne fut qu’en partie directement physique. il s’agissait de faire le vide, et comme s’il n’y avait jamais eu d’Indiens, sauf dans des ghettos qui en feraient autant d’immigrés du dedans. A beaucoup d’égards, les Palestiniens sont les nouveaux #Indiens, les Indiens d’Israël. L’analyse marxiste indique les deux mouvements complémentaires du #capitalisme : s’imposer constamment des limites, à l’intérieur desquelles il aménage et exploite son propre système ; repousser toujours plus loin ces limites, les dépasser pour recommencer en plus grand ou en plus intense sa propre fondation. Repousser les limites, c’était l’acte du capitalisme américain, du rêve américain, repris par Israël et le rêve du Grand Israël sur territoire arabe, sur le dos des Arabes.

When I was looking around for support in customizing #Hubzilla ...well, I didn't get the support I needed, though I did figure it out in the end myself. What I did get was a rather interesting issue brought up in a forum: #^forum.statler.ws/display/?mid=…
Basically, a couple people comparing the existence of a public feed available to anyone, including people not logged in, to rape culture, because people are being exposed to content that they may not like or be offended by.
My instantaneous reaction was "dear god libs are still hung up on their 'safe spaces'", and, as a survivor myself, comparing seeing something you don't like on the internet to rape seems pretty tasteless. But that also seems like someone a lot of people would call me an asshole for, so I thought it might be worthwhile to do more thinking on it, and see what others think.
My reasoning is: All these posts are public anyway. Back before the internet was all consolidated by corporations, internet safety wasn't only about basic stranger danger, but also just knowing what sites not to click on to avoid offensive content — and also understanding that sometimes, you'll be exposed to that offensive content anyway.
Hubzilla admins also have regex-based control over blocking content from the public stream, along with more basic blocking of channels and instances.
I haven't done a lot of that, because my hub's public stream is mostly stuff that I follow, or political things that others follow; and I do have the public stream active and as my public homepage, because I feel it gives the best sense of the content someone will have if they join the hub. As #WotW grows, I may change the public feed to contain content originating only here, but for now, that would mainly be one person, which doesn't look awesome I don't think (as that one person).
But yeah, I wonder what people think: Is a generally unmoderated public feed rape culture? Should my new little hub use it on its front page, or is there a more attractive alternative?
Bill Statler wrote this: "»Not long until Threads will have blocked all public Hubzilla and (streams) instances. And then they'll come for the private, single-user instances with no valid imprint.« This is what I'm expecting.forum.statler.ws

We had a foot-hold situation at my last job where a nation-state attacker had gained access to our tenant Azure AD infrastructure and was able to use the relative low-level access they were able to obtain to pivot and gain access to our internal network by exploiting several weaknesses in our policies and practices. We actually brought in Microsoft to help lock things down and they recommended a whole slew of changes to our internal and external architecture. Servers and apps were classified by their criticality. Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2, etc. New network segmentation was implemented. Jump boxes, and jump "laptops" were issued. Only some servers could be accessed by special laptops across special segmented VPN connections. There were no sharing of network resources allowed across domains. Took us about 6 months to recover from that incident. That was back in 2021. The fact that Microsoft wasn't "eating their own dogfood" is completely understandable, and every single one of us in IT has gone through this ourselves. ---
