oatmeal<p>Quoting Tamer Nafar on Hashomer Hatzair canceling "No Other Land" screening: "I wasn't surprised. Democracy died long ago - the corpse is just starting to stink." </p><p>Nafar criticizes the movement for lacking moral courage to face <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>'s reality while claiming to uphold humanist values. "There's no complexity in occupation or ethnic cleansing. This isn't an isolated incident but symbolizes Israel's crumbling center - afraid to be left, afraid to be right, hiding behind 'it's complex' phrases while over 50,000 are dead in Gaza. A youth movement unable to confront political truth isn't educating, it's suffocating."</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-04-02/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000195-f6d0-df89-a39f-f6f1e60e0000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-04</span><span class="invisible">-02/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000195-f6d0-df89-a39f-f6f1e60e0000</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.ph/3HeCu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/3HeCu</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p>Hashomer Hatzair is a socialist-Zionist youth movement founded in the early 20th century that historically advocated for Arab-Jewish binationalism but has evolved to operate within mainstream Israeli society while still promoting values of social justice and withdrawal from occupied territories.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenocide</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HashomerHatzair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HashomerHatzair</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zionism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoOtherLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoOtherLand</span></a></p>
