Horrific statements from Hasan Piker today in the New York Times comparing Israeli actions to Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, and the Holocaust that’ll surely be covered by CNN and condemned by every Democratic leader
Oh wait they’re from Israeli generals and officials
Israel has said that paper kites flown by Palestinian children will be treated as weapons of war.
Read that again.
This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy.
End all military cooperation with Israel, now.
Hi, I’m Madeline -
I’m a Jew.
I was literally in the studio with @hasanthehun the same day he made the comments everyone is upset about.
Let me be very clear: Hasan got clipped out of context.
These people are full of sh*t.
Hasan was literally advocating for the OPPOSITE of violence against us, as he always has.
He said the exact same thing about how the conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-semitism causes Jewish people - like myself - to become targets. Ezra Klein said the exact same thing previously, and nobody batted an eye.
I spent a full hour with him that same day. Anybody wanna check how his behavior was with me? A whole Jewish lady? I’m sitting right there next to him. Care to see what we talked about and how we talked about it?
I’ll give you a hint: non-violence, deradicalizing people, advocating for the humanity in every single person - Jewish and Palestinian alike.
Please, my Jewish brothers and sisters - moms and dads and bubbies and zaydes - please hear me:
They’re trying to trick us. They’re playing with our emotions and steering us away from the truth so we will abandon our principles and join the other side.
I’m begging you - don’t let them make you abandon what you believe in.
And don’t take my word for it — Please — look for yourself to see who is actually on our side and wants to protect us. Look and you’ll see who is actually speaking the truth.
Chesed v emet - kindness and truth. Please don’t abandon the values our people have carried because you’ve been convinced of something that isn’t even true.
Please.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Merz zieht Konsequenzen nach Ben-Gvir-Aussagen: "Wir werden Waffen in Zukunft nur noch mit vorwurfsvollen Blicken nach Israel schicken" https://t.co/SQR1fzmBqD
Die deutsche Entrüstung über die radikalen Aussagen des israelischen Ministers Ben-Gvir ist scheinheilig. Er redet seit Jahren so – und spricht nur aus, was Israels Armee und Regierung längst tun. https://t.co/xCqinPdRWY
Stellt sich hier Karoline Preisler (FDP), Direktkandidatin für die Wahl zum Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus, an einer Ampel vor einen BVG-Bus und ruft nach der Berliner Polizei, damit der Bus für sie dort die Türen öffnet, statt zur Bushaltestelle zu gehen wie jeder andere Berliner?

Ceuta was „neither a genuine humanitarian crisis nor part of an anti-colonial struggle, but part of efforts by the growing US-Israeli-Moroccan nexus (…) to weaken a progressive European government, divide Europe, and undermine international law.“

I'm a 64 year old British Jew
I used not to understand how the Holocaust happened. How could so many ordinary people go along with Hitler & the other evil leaders?
But when I see so many of the British Establishment (& others) support, enable, justify or deny the Gaza Genocide, I think I now understand
The truth is profoundly disturbing
