People like me take great pains to avoid coming across as antisemitic in our criticisms of Israel, and then Jewish Zionists go to these events all “Yes we Jews need to be actively manipulating western institutions in order to deceive everyone and control society.”

[Noely 🤔 @YaThinkN]

An "internal Israel led investigation" will not be 'swift', nor 'transparent' and Wong know this!

Fuck I hate how our government condones Israels crimes and atrocities, it is utterly sickening 😡

[Adam Houda @LawyerAdamHouda]

Israel murdered Australian Humanitarian aid worker Zomi Frankcom in cold blood - no action from our government.

Israeli soldiers sexually assaulted and abused Australian activists on board a flotilla - no action from our government.

israelis have been comitting genocide for the last 3 years, slaughtering 10's of 1000's of children in the process - no action from our government.

Someone please tell me: WTF is going on here??? https://t.co/jAUFZE5YCT #IsraelIsATerroristState #FreePalestine #auspol

@ACTINOSProject @MikeCarlton01 @ItsBouquet I've never found him to be remotely funny! Always wondered why he had a show in ABC! 😡

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website.

Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the owner of a paper with such poor journalistic standards have a role over the BBC’s?

Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today.

Because if the US were to acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons, it would be subject to US sanctions for violating the nonproliferation treaty

Want to know what racism is? And I don’t mean mere discrimination but systemic, institutionalised racism? Then compare and contrast ABC’s handling of Charlie Pickering with Antoinette Latouf —Adelaide Festival and Randa Abel-Fattah, and Lebanese/Aussie artist Khaled Sabsabi.

CORRECTION: Israel plans major settlement push across occupied West Bank https://t.co/1MGC3gNXdo

We will delete a post that referenced Israel’s latest settlement push as being seen by many as illegal; Israel’s settlements in the occupied West Bank are deemed illegal under international law

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israel was meant to fully withdraw its troops from Gaza under the ceasefire signed in October. Instead of pulling back, Israeli forces are expanding and entrenching heavily fortified positions across the enclave.

Under Siege 3 is just him versus his own arteries.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Two years of lying about bombing hospitals in Gaza – supposedly to target "Hamas control and command centres" underneath – has really paid off.

Now Israel bombs Lebanon's hospitals and doesn't even need to pretend there's a military rationale.

@Israel What a dishonest pitch.
Pick a name that suits your cause.
Make the vast assumption that the name confers exclusive dominion.
These are the arguments, literally delivered in cartoon form, by the ethnically bereft, to the intellectually impaired.

[Voice of Rabbis @voiceofrabbis]

The entire claim remains on a fraudulent premise — that Judea is to the Jews as France is to the French or Italy is to the Italians.

That premise is false.
Categorically false.

France is the state of French citizens.
Italy is the state of Italian citizens.
Israel is the state of Israeli citizens — not of Jews worldwide.

Jews are not a nationality attached to a sovereign state.

They are a group of people dispersed across many countries, holding many citizenships.

Most Jews are not Israeli.
They don't vote in Israel.
They do not live under Israeli law.
They owe Israel no political allegiance.

Zionism survives by erasing that distinction.

It trains people to hear “Israel” and think “the Jews,” because without that conflation the argument collapses.

And this conflation is not accidental.
It is foundational to the ideology.

But that linkage is profoundly anti-Semitic.

To say Israel is “the state of the Jews” is to revive the oldest anti-Semitic accusation: that Jews everywhere are politically bound to a foreign country.

My country is the United States.
Israel is the country of Israelis.

Anyone who insists otherwise is redefining Jews as foreigners in their own countries.

Only two ideologies insist that Israel is “the state of all Jews”:
anti-Semitism — and Zionism.

And “anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism” is a lie.

It is a necessary link to protect that conflation.

@StefanTalmon . You are right . The world punished Germany’s active enabling and facilitation of Zionist Israeli and Banderist Ukrainian war crimes . It is too dangerous to have a country with these present policies occupying a precious place on the UNSC. It is only for a year . Meanwhile Austria and Portugal will do a better job . @johnmenadue @leckie_cameron . By @tonykevin

A Welsh bloke has turned up in our garden. He says the garden is his because he’s a descendant of an Ancient British tribe who lived there. Fair enough.

[Le Monde diplomatique in English @LMdiplo]

Anti-Zionism is a minority position among France’s Jewish population, but since the assault on Gaza began, it’s grown. For some, resisting the conflation of Jewishness with Israel has become imperative.

NO! Germany's "historical responsibility" is to prevent genocides. NOT to support Israel to commit genocide

Germany committed genocide against the Herero and Nama (1904 - 1908), it committed the Holocaust and now it supports Israel's genocide against the Palestinians

SHAMEFUL

The chart isn’t the story. The story is that every single person in that room watched him compare a reflecting pool to skyscrapers and said nothing. These are the people running the most powerful country on earth, and not one of them had the spine to say ‘sir, that’s a puddle.’

Pakistan Büyükelçisi, BM genel kurulunda israile haddini bildirerek şöyle söyledi:

“israil,mağduriyet numarası yapan, BM kararlarını ihlal eden ve Gazze'de, ve hatta Filistin topraklarında devlet terörü uygulayan bir işgalci ve hayduttur”

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Sky News ran a segment about how a Jewish volunteer group is on the streets fighting "record levels of antisemitism", and zero antisemitism occurs anywhere in the entire segment. It's just a group of thugs cruising around intimidating non-Jews by impersonating law enforcement.
