If this is true, it’s despicable. However, I’ve learned not to take anyone’s word on the internet for any politically charged topic. If there is any half-credible source that corroborates the real estate auction, I’d greatly appreciate a link. I’ll search as well.
“Salman Schocken, a Jewish businessman who left Germany in 1934 after the Nazis had come to power, bought the paper in December 1935. Schocken was active in Brit Shalom, also known as the Jewish–Palestinian Peace Alliance, a body supporting co-existence between Jews and Arabs which was sympathetic to a homeland for both peoples. His son, Gershom Schocken, became the chief editor in 1939 and held that position until his death in 1990.”
From the English a language Wikipedia article on Haaretz.
The Schocken family continues to own 75% of the paper’s stocks, hence the position.
Zionism is the quest for a homeland for the Jewish people… many people chose Argentina, many chose Ethiopia… Israel was created by the Allied Forces after world war two… zionism has nothing to do with recreating Israel or hurting Palestinians….
stop using words you don’t understand… blaming “zionists” is like blaming jews… it’s racist.
Israel is committing these crimes against humanity. Not jews, not zionists… it’s Israel
Notice how each of those countries you said Zionists chose instead of Palestine were already, you know, countries. Where people live. Zionism is a settler colonial movement that displaces people wherever you decide it should be. Colonizers do not deserve sympathy or support. I agree that the actions of Israel should not be associated with the Jewish people, but they most certainly are the actions of Zionists, of colonizers. No one gets to Minecraft a homeland out of thin air. You don’t just pop up an ethno-state on any habitable location on earth without removing those who already live there.
We agree on the essence. I am not going to argue over semantics and definitions. People have a right to self determination but not settler colonialism, we agree on that but disagree on the definition of Zionism. I go with the writings of Jabotinsky and Herzl.
Same here! It also helps to threaten your victims with further violence and reminding them you know where they live and can look up who their family is lol being a cop is so silly!!
Shit at this point I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the pro Israel protestors did all of the violence and the headlines are still blaming the Pro Palestinian side. The major news outlets always back Israel until hard evidence from a third party shows up.
It’s buried halfway down this article, but here are more details:
The protest stemmed from an Israel real estate event on Sunday at the Adas Torah synagogue, according to the synagogue’s security director and social media posts from organizers.
The event at the synagogue was organized by My Israel Home, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and West Bank settlements and was advertising on social media. CNN has reached out to My Israel Home for comment.
Let’s ignore all the evidence and everything else that has happened so far, and give this the benefit of the doubt that only helps Israel and it’s genocide. I guess once the water gets muddy enough, we’ll stop seeing it as water.
Ubiquitous acceptance of anecdotal evidence from a blue check mark twitter handle is just going to morph lemmy into /r/conspiracy and I hate /r/conspiracy. If you believe that going by feels is adequate, I have a Jewish space laser to sell you.
Rarely do I become incensed by anything on the internet, but willfully discouraging yourself and others from ascertaining the reality of a situation is cancerous. I urge you, and anyone else reading this, to verify information, always. We live in an age where adequate comprehension involves adequate corroborative research and denying adequate research is akin to denying reality.
Now, that said, synagogue had it coming if the agency’s selling pillaged Palestinian land. I’ve been attempting to access their website for 2 days but they seem disinterested in updating their certificate. Likely due to bad press. If you can somehow verify that this map hosted real listings in the West Bank, that’d go far in legitimizing your anger. Suggesting that [internet person says thing] is enough does not.
You can find some solace in it being true still not being an excuse for violence
As for the merit of it, they were hosting a real estate company that operates on both sides but no validity to the notion of stolen property has been made

A few US outlets have mentioned it fleetingly, but here’s a more balanced account from Haaretz.
Here is a flyer circulated by the protest organizers:
Here is a flyer advertizing the real estate sale itself:
Here is an archived copy of the real estate sale web page (which is currently unavailable):

Here is a listing for property in Efrat, which is an illegal Israeli settlement located in the West Bank:

Interesting that an Israeli newspaper provides a more balanced report than US outlets… how did that happen?

a lot of Israelis are very much against what has been happening in Palestine…
(also why “zionist” is a bad word to call pro-genocidal people)
Nothing excuses Zionism even if some opposes the actions of their government

You agree on the definition, you’re just not ignoring that people already lived there like he is.
All the best Anglo neighborhoods‽‽‽ Sounds antisemitic to me…
I’m not the only one who uses the interrobang‽
What‽‽
I tried that once, got thrown off the police force

And yup. Everyone is doing it again.

Especially in this conflict. There is more fake news going around, pushed by both pro palestinian and pro israel sides, than real news.
