It's also not even a dogwhistle? Dogwhistles are meant to provide plausible deniability over what you're really signalling. "Decolonize Palestine from the river to the sea" is an extremely straightforward and explicit demand that already says what it means.

There is another saying that uses 'from the river to the sea' and 'decolonize' is not in it. I think that might be the dog whistle they're talking about.

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

What saying?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 61 points 2 days ago

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

It's weird how they always leave off the second part.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

I guess it explains it further but the kneejerk reaction to that would be to think in this scenario there's no Israel. So what happened to all the Jews

They'd live side by side with their Palestinian brothers and sisters peacefully and for the betterment of all mankind?

According to the most recent joint survey of the Palestinian–Israeli Pulse in 2023, support for a democratic one-state solution stands at 23% among Palestinians and 20% among Israeli Jews. A non-equal non-democratic one-state solution remains more popular among both populations, supported by 30% of Palestinians and 37% of Israeli Jews. A Palestinian poll in September 2024 revealed that only 10% of respondents supported a single state that would provide equal rights for both Israelis and Palestinians.

It doesn't seem like either side wants an equal (and/or democratic) single state solution hah

Curious how this poll was taken, given one of the groups is currently being slaughtered by the other.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

I don't really know, the source is a The Economist article behind a paywall. The poll mentioned earlier in the quote is from face-to-face interviews of Palestinians and online interviews of Israelis.

Because recognizing the slogan as a Zionist invention, which advocates for colonizing Palestine from the river to the sea, would destroy their own narrative.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

recognizing the slogan as a Zionist invention

Clipping off the bit about freedom is a Zionist framing, certainly. But when every expression of Palestinian solidarity is criminalized, there's little to be gained in a debate about "framing". At this point, "Death to Israel" is a perfectly valid and legitimate sentiment. The state is rotten to the core, from its corrupt fascist parliament to its bloody-fisted imperial expansion.

Pretending that "Israel has a right to exist" is any different than some Boer slogan championing White South Africa or a Neo-Confederate rallying cry for the restoration of America's slave-owning past is what really plays into the Zionist's hands.

Paul Biggar is a real one, one of the rare successful startup founders who is pushing back on the VC ecosystem as a dissenting voice against the genocide in Gaza.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago

For those unfamiliar with Paul Biggar, he is a rare dissident from the Zionist infested Venture Capital world.

This is a good moment to point out that an open source alternative to Figma, Penpot, exists and has come a very long way and is almost feature-complete with Figma. It also has its own unique features.

I've personally been using it for a long time for various use-cases and I'm more than happy with it.

[-] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Anyone know any good replacements for Figma? I've used it a couple of times over the last few years for brainstorming UI but obviously that won't be happening anymore

[-] mx_smith@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Our dev team uses Lucidchart, our UX person uses Figma. I can see the differences as Figma seems targeted towards designers where Lucidchart seems targeted to developers.

[-] ClearCutCoconut@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Penpot has been getting really good. Can recommend

[-] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Used it yesterday and it's been great, exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
