That’s a very active area of research, there’s a handful of farms on at least the west coast experimenting with utilizing solar in that way. Either to shade certain crops or as shade for livestock, while of course getting the solar energy benefits

You’re making the liberals upset
They’re too busy blaming voters instead of the godawful campaign. They have zero interest in understanding why there was record low turnout, and instead smugly blame pro-palestinian voices for the loss

It’s an emancipatory slogan.
Now you’re repeatedly refusing to engage with the sources because you know they prove you wrong
It’s saying ‘Palestine will be free.’
You’re the one falsely attributing that as “all this land will be ours” while also falsely implying that ‘ours’ would exclude Jewish people. You’re the one falsely conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism.
Again, actually taking the sources seriously clarifies all of this.
- Comment on Mod of multi large world comms goes on attack against multiple users 5 months ago:
It’s calling for control of all the land “from the river to the sea”. Which means murder or displacement of the other side
No, it’s pretty clear. It means an end to Apartheid and equal rights. That means equal rights for everyone. Right of return across all of historic Palestine.
It’s a One-state reality already. Like with South Africa, ending the Apartheid did not mean the murder or mass displacement of the white settlers. That mentality of mass murder and mass displacement is entirely the projection of the sick mentality of the settler colonialists.
And the Israelis use it to mean the same thing, which is something a Zionist would never tell you.
They have zero issues calling for the complete expulsion of Palestinians. That’s been the case from the origins of Zionism to present day.
The difference here is that Israel has the power to genocide and is actually committing genocide. That doesn’t make anyone else calling for genocide okay. There is no good side in this fight.
The Palestinian slogan is, once again, not a call for genocide. You have five articles to learn more, why don’t you take them seriously?
You still gonna call me a Zionist? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you 100%?
Just stop repeating Zionist misinformation, it’s not that difficult, especially when provided sources.

It is an emancipatory slogan that calls for an end to apartheid and for equal rights.
Yousef Munayyer, head of the Palestine-Israel program at the Arab Center Washington D.C., has written extensively about the meaning of the slogan before and since Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7, which led to Israel’s current bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
“It’s an expression of Palestinian nationalism and it’s an expression of a demand for Palestinian freedom or self-determination,” said Waxman. “I think Palestinian self-determination need not come at the expense of Jewish self-determination. Nor do I think Palestinian freedom has to be considered a threat to Jewish rights.”
Simply put, the majority of Palestinians who use this phrase do so because they believe that, in 10 short words, it sums up their personal ties, their national rights and their vision for the land they call Palestine. And while attempts to police the slogan’s use may come from a place of genuine concern, there is a risk that tarring the slogan as antisemitic – and therefore beyond the pale – taps into a longer history of attempts to silence Palestinian voices.
The use of the phrase “from the river to the sea” has come under particular scrutiny in the last three months. When Palestinians, or anyone on the left, has used the phrase to demand a free Palestine—as in the popular chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”—those on the right have disingenuously argued that it is calling for the death of all Jewish people in Israel.
In 2021, the Palestinian-American writer Yousef Munayyer argued that those who saw genocidal ambition in the phrase, or indeed an unambiguous desire for the destruction of Israel, did so due to their own Islamophobia.
It was instead, he argued, merely a way to express a desire for a state in which “Palestinians can live in their homeland as free and equal citizens, neither dominated by others nor dominating them”.
Preventing any possibility of a Palestinian state has always been Israel’s policy, one that the settlement building in the Occupied Territories is meant to ensure. This policy has been intensified under Benjamin Netanyahu, who in January 2024 publicly vowed to resist any attempt to create a Palestinian state and to maintain Israeli control from the river to the sea.
It is often maintained that the slogan ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ expresses a genocidal and antisemitic intention. But this is generally not the case. On the contrary, the slogan has historically been used to articulate a wide variety of political strategies for Palestinian liberation
Denying such demands seems as self-evident to most Israeli Jews as the air they breathe. It is this denial that has led to the dehumanization of Palestinians and has culminated in the genocidal mood that is prevailing in Israeli Jewish society today and in the assault taking place now in Gaza. This should be viewed as the real problem and not the legitimate chant of ‘from the river to the sea: Palestine will be free’.

Not surprising, he also permabanned me from WorldNews for debunking Zionist misinformation, banned outlets such as Drop Site News and Zeteo, and defended his practice of censoring the emancipatory slogan ‘from the river to the sea Palestine will be free’ by quoting incredibly racist liberal Zionists

You don’t understand how Democratic politicians that have directly funded trump and normalized right-wing positions (immigration is a great example of such) are far more responsible for Trump winning the election than online commenters who criticize the Democratic Party due to it’s proximity to the Republican Party?
Capitalists are responsible for the rise of fascism. Both parties are beholden to the interests of their capital donors, they simply play different roles to uphold that interest.
Progressives who criticize the Democratic party for failing to represent their constituents, who are supposed to be working class Americans, not billionaire donors, are the ones applying pressure on the Democratic party to actually fight against fascism instead of against progressive candidates and policies. The Democratic Establishment will not change without overwhelming pressure from working class Americans

Fuck Intel, boycott that shit
Intel has announced that it will invest $25 billion in apartheid Israel as Israel’s #GazaGenocide continues, signaling its commitment to bolstering apartheid. The company’s first development center outside the US was opened in Haifa in 1974. For decades, Intel has invested in apartheid Israel. Its plant at “Qiryat Gat” is built on Palestinian land within the boundaries of the Palestinian village of Iraq al Manshiya, which was ethnically cleansed and razed to the ground and then replaced by the Israeli settlement of Qiryat Gat.

I know you are a Zionist from our previous chats, but I absolutely support going through any of these books with a critical lens. Do your best to try to find innacuracies or prove what they say wrong, don’t forget to look into the sources they reference throughout the books.
