This is pure fascism, the real thing: the National Union of Israeli Students’ proposed bill whereby “Academic institutions will be obliged to immediately fire a lecturer, a teacher or researcher who expresses or acts in a manner that includes denial of the existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, incitement to racism, violence or terrorism and/or support for an armed struggle or an act of terrorism against Israel”
“Israel was given the October 7th blueprints two years earlier by spies in Gaza and those plans were studied by the IDF who described the coming invasion as ‘the biggest threat the Israeli Defence Forces are facing’. The IDF then decided to stop monitoring Hamas radio traffic (and banned civilians from doing so) because they saw this as a waste of effort. This is because they had more important things to focus on like monitoring western Twitter accounts for wrong-think. As you can see, Israel had its priorities in order.”
[..]
“I guess we’ll never know how #Mossad failed to see the October 7th attacks coming and the IDF failed to mount a proper response for hours, but Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested the attacks were a gift from god and explained Israel would never have been allowed to eliminate Hamas if they’d not taken place.”
@GeriatricGardener@paninid@palestine@israel What a shitshow. I knew some of the mentioned things but all together pretty damning stuff. And all of it is ok for the leaders.
Ansar Allah official Nasr al-Din Amer rejects the notion the Yemeni movement is simply a proxy for Iran and says its maritime blockade of Israel in the Red Sea is meant to lift the siege on Gaza and has the overwhelming support of the Yemeni people.
Palestine has ignited our planetary consciousness once again, and it is the student movement that refuses to let genocide become our new normal. They know that the fight for Palestine is a fight for us all.
How many times did Americans stop a war before? That's the unusual thing, and it would be nice if you were able to see it. Now that a few people are doing something principled and decent in the US for the first time in many decades, do you believe it's the time for nitpicking about the framing? Or did I misread you and you're just creating unnecessary controversy for the sake of it? Let me know.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel because this user blocked me before I could reply, I'll post a screenshot and reply here: it's important to highlight the inaccuracy in the framing because too many people believe the copacetic, whitewashed version of Western history and repeat falsehoods like "this isn't who we are" when this is exactly who they are, and those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Ignoring the fact that the root causes of this genocide are systemic and structural is at best digging one's head in the sand and at worst complicity in a long string of genocides by the western hegemony.
Before I sleep, I have this image of your body under the rubble. It flashes into my mind and makes my heart sink. Then I pick up my phone and go to our photos.
Flanked by progressive heavyweights, Rep. #JamaalBowman called for "the many" to defeat "the money" of AIPAC, which has set funding records in its effort to help defeat the pro- #Palestine Congressman.
“A recent article in The Times of London, along with UN reports and investigative journalism in independent media, has been undermining Israel’s allegations of an ordered mass rape campaign on October 7. Meanwhile, evidence of mass sexual violence against Palestinians continues to mount.”
Remember my Ukrainian Jewish cubemate in US was saying that there has never been violent Jewish extremists and would not believe the stories of Jewish Terrorists in the 40s in Palestine before Israel was created.
I guess this is yet another mentally ill person, who can't be connected to any movement or organization or country and no one will ask every Rabbi in the world to condemn her action as they used to demand from every Muslim in the world.
It wouldn't surprise me if she isn't even #Jewish and is yet another christian #Zionist full of #hate and rage against Palestinians, #Arabs and #Muslims.
PS. What kind of sick fuck hates cute little kids so much that she tried to drown them? It's just so disgustingly sick.
At first I thought It's a joke, but then I saw it online for sale. These people trying to steal everything.
I also saw an old lady waving Israeli flag and a watermelon sign saying "we had watermelon first" it's our sign and heritage. Forgetting why it became the symbol of Palestine at the first place.
Muhammad Shehadeh (on X) It's been 48 hours since Israel murdered Gaza's water & environment chief engineer along with 4 municipality officials while they were working to restore the water supply to the famine-stricken northern Gaza.
Not even a single passing mention of this in any mainstream media @palestine@israel
@Sherifazuhur@palestine@israel it is a war.. We all expect people to die.. Sadly that is the inevitable result when terrorists take over a region. I hope Isreal can bring lasting peace.
@Valvoline@Sherifazuhur@palestine@israel it's what happens when TWO opposing groups of terrorists fight over the same land and one has the protection from consequences by a world power like the US
It is unconscionable for Israel to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Israel should be suspended from international sports organizations and events until it ends its grave violations of international law.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel Definitely agree, if Nazi Germany eas barred from the Olympics then so too should all states practicing active and adjudicated Genocide
“Hundreds sign up for Feinstein’s insurgent campaign as Starmer’s odds lengthen: Bookies slash odds on Feinstein winning and Labour’s campaign numbers fail to impress”
“Former #ANC MP and #Mandela aide Andrew #Feinstein’s campaign to replace Keir #Starmer as MP for #Holborn and St Pancras has been boosted by an extraordinary flood of volunteers and campaigners – in numbers that appear to dwarf those of the local Labour Party.
Feinstein’s campaign has confirmed that as of last week over 740 #volunteers had signed up to assist his campaign via the official campaign website. Feinstein is holding a ‘super weekender’ campaign this weekend to capitalise on the strong response and volunteers have been canvassing, door-knocking, leafleting, posting flyers and phone-banking.”
“[..] betting companies are starting to pay attention, slashing odds on Feinstein’s insurgent campaign replacing Starmer.”
