Farhad,
Looking at Miro's posting history, I think it is clear that he doesn't "support fascists".
Personally, I don't use Twitter/X, but I don't condemn anyone for using it when so many people still look at it and it can help publicize facts about the genocide in Gaza.
That being said, I'm putting my hopes in the Fediverse.

Thanks for the reply.
I guess I'm not as sensitive about other posts to the palestine guppe group because I believe everyone knows that it is not truly a group but simply an automated mechanism for people to share posts about Palestine. There is no moderation as far as I know.
The main advantage to me is that it reaches 1.9k readers, which is quite a lot for Mastodon.
But of course I respect your decision. I think in the past I replied to a few of your posts and added the palestine and israel guppe groups so that they would be seen. Is that OK with you?

Add groups and tags to Palestine posts
@npub128q…4f74
Hi again,
You post many great articles. Many more people would see them if you modified how you handle tags.
If you put them at the bottom instead of the top, more people would get a better idea of what is to follow. My web version of Mastodon only shows the first line, so I just get #Gaza #Palestine on the home feed. I'm still curious, so I will click on it. But others might not. But if they saw more related to the content, such as a headline, etc. they would be more likely to click.
Also, if you could add a few more tags, and 2 groups, at least 2k more people will see it.
media news press [add # in front of each word]
@palestineATa.gup.pe @israeATa.gup.pe
(Change AT to @)
I hope you consider these friendly suggestions, so that we can further help build solidarity with Palestine.
Thanks.

schizophrenic - contradictory or antagonistic qualities or attitudes
I don't think that the quote that I gave from the article is schizophrenic. The thinking of most Zionists outside of israel might be, in the sense that they support a racist project but are not consciously racist in their thinking.
The main point of the review and the book itself is that anti-Zionists can often shift the thinking of Israel supporters if they are willing to have a back-and-forth conversation with them. (I'm not talking about finding "common ground" or normalizing, talking about listening in order to effectively counter hasbara fog.)

How to talk to Israel supporters
Sat 2 Mar 2024
"Alex McDonald’s When They Speak Israel, reviewed here by Steve Grant, explains to all of us how to engage. His basic assumption is that while some Zionists are dyed-in-the-wool racists or ethnonationalists, most are not. They sincerely believe they oppose racism but have been taught that support for Israel is justified — if not a solemn moral duty."

One Issue on Which #Israeli Extremists Are Mainstream
Sept. 16, 2024
By Hagai El-Ad
Mr. El-Ad was the executive director of the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem from 2014 to 2023. He wrote from Jerusalem.
"But there is only one regime in Israel-Palestine. The Palestinian Authority controls limited aspects of life in fragmented areas of the West Bank; Israel rules over all the major aspects of life in the territory.
Annexation is not a future prospect; it is a fact of life. Israelis and Palestinians live in a one-state reality."

#IlanPappé, The Collapse of #Zionism
excerpt - #Hamas’s assault of October 7 can be likened to an earthquake that strikes an old building. The cracks were already beginning to show, but they are now visible in its very foundations. More than 120 years since its inception, could the Zionist project in #Palestine – the idea of imposing a #Jewish state on an #Arab, #Muslim and #MiddleEastern country – be facing the prospect of collapse?

#Uncommitted movement demands #DNC allow a representative to speak on #Gaza
Movement also wants face time with more receptive #KamalaHarris to talk Gaza concerns to bolster party’s power
"In a press call on Thursday, movement leaders demanded that the DNC allow Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, an American physician who’s worked in Gaza, to speak at the convention about the humanitarian crisis that she witnessed firsthand. They have also requested that an uncommitted delegate be given five minutes to speak at the convention, and for Kamala Harris to meet with movement leaders about their concerns."

You may be correct about that for many people, but many Palestinians in Michigan that I know are willing to vote Green or not at all, unless there is a real change.

Will #KamalaHarris Pivot on #Gaza and Win the ‘#Uncommitted’ Vote?
Simply displaying more empathy toward #Palestinians, while shipping arms to #Israel that are used in killing those same Palestinians, is not likely to win over recalcitrant voters or to truly energize peace voters.
