Meir Kahane on 60 Minutes with Mike Wallace, 1985: on his Knesset bill "astonishingly identical to the Nuremberg laws" and his prediction that a Jew, not an Arab, would kill him. Five years later he was shot dead in Manhattan by an Egyptian-born Arab. #DeadWrongHistory
Hey everyone I'd like to apologize for the post I made last night when I said "Children deserve to have legs." I didn't realize that statement was offensive to the Jewish community and I will choose my words better moving forward.
I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.
“Bill Maher DEBUNKED: Mehdi Hasan Challenges His Israel War Claims”
Mehdi Hasan: Bill Maher is annoying, unfunny, misogynistic, Islamophobic, and of course, pro-Israel. So much so that he can't stop lying in order to defend it.
Bill Maher: The energy in their party is with the young people who learn everything about Israel on TikTok.
They don't know shit. Every war Israel has fought is a war of defense, right? Every war, they were attacked first.
Mehdi Hasan: The kids don't know shit, Bill? Or is that you? Time for a debunking.
Let's look at three major wars. Who started them?
First off, 1956, the Suez Crisis. Israel, Britain, and France colluded together to invade Egypt. Israel attacked on October 29th, and Britain and France joined two days later.
Israel always says that any war they start is a defensive war, a preemptive war.
But we know Israel, France, and Britain got together to plan this war of aggression a week earlier in Sèvres, France.
It was a war of conquest, not defense.
Number two, 1967, the Six-Day War. Israel attacked Egypt before expanding its attacks to Syria and Jordan.
The standard Israeli narrative is that this was a preemptive war. But Egypt wasn't about to attack Israel.
In 1982, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin admitted: “We decided to attack him.”
And in 1968, Israel's own military chief, General Yitzhak Rabin, said, “I do not believe that Nasser wanted war.”
So no, the Six-Day War in 1967 wasn't a preemptive war. It wasn't a war of self-defense.
It was a war of aggression and occupation by Israel against its Arab neighbors.
Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank diverted a spring that was a lifeline for the Palestinian village of Fasayil, cutting irrigation pipes in June and converting it into a tourist attraction, leaving nearby farms barren https://t.co/yzqIHVNnla
All the anti Muslim bigotry coming from overconfident slap-dick amateurs with no expertise or experience relating to the subject whatsoever.
Its exhausting.
