“As the art world parades its supposed commitment to diversity by adopting themes of decolonization and making space for voices from the Global South, it ignores that Palestinian artists are being massacred, and that their cultural institutions are being obliterated.”

“Batniji, who lost a significant number of his family members and early works in Gaza, was forcibly displaced from Gaza in 2006. After the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip in 2008–9, Batniji brought the issue of house destruction closer to Western eyes,” Anani writes.

“He displayed 20 images of destroyed houses in Gaza as real estate ads, similar to the way brokers advertise houses for rent or sale...details of the destroyed houses in Gaza: a description of the house, its location, its proximity to the sea, the # of rooms, and the # of people who lived in it.”

It's because they're trying to commit genocide against the indigenous Jews, who opened their lands to them many times only to be massacred in return.

Palestinians are not "indigenous Jews." Jews are the indigenous progenitors of the Palestinians. Jews have also been totally ethnically cleansed from the Palestinian geopolitical territory, driven out making it judenfrei.

I know. That's what I said. The Jews are the ones who are indigenous.

Hard to tell and I'm still working on getting more caffeine into my system. Is that what you meant?

neoninfinity.bsky.social•25 days ago

It's not. Palestinians are not indigenous to the land of Israel. I can understand the mistake though because I've heard the lie that the palestinians are indigenous so many times in so many variations.

Palestinians ARE indigenous to the land. Where was the Palestinian national identity born? On the land? What is the core of the Palestinian population? It's the Jews who were subjugated and eventually had their Jewish identity erased.

By this same metric, all people living in America are indigenous Americans. They're not. But I agree with you that they live there now and shouldn't be expected to be displaced.

The Jewish nation is the indigenous progenitor of both Israel and Palestine. The sooner everyone starts to realize that, the sooner we can finally have peace in the region.
