"Zionism has all along been a Siamese twin of anti-Semitism and every kind of nationalist chauvinism," wrote in 1938 Henryk Erlich, one of the interwar leaders of the Jewish socialist party Bund in Poland.

“Never again’ can mean ‘never again a Holocaust for the Jewish people’ or ‘never again a Holocaust for anyone.’ Unfortunately, most Israelis adopted the first message, ‘never again a Holocaust for the Jews,’ and that at any cost,” says Gideon Levy.

the salvos from the ghetto wall,

IDF worried with the revelations made in the documentary NAZA by 24 Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers involved in the remote killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

The IDF firmly rejects the allegations made in this film.

The film relies on anonymous testimonies from individuals whose identity cannot be verified, including whether they served in the IDF or not, in what capacity, or whether they were involved in the matters about which the allegations are being made.

For the full IDF response:

Israel has always killed and tortured Palestinians, but when our democracies crush freedom of expression, they reveal that they are part of “the same system,” Francesca Albanese told Blindspot.

American film producer @MarkRuffalo points out Oracle's involvement in the genocide, replying to the accusations of anti-semitism ment to silent his critics of Warner Brother and Ellison's complicity in Gaza.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

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.

Former IAEA's chief @ElBaradei calls on the 17 Arab states not members of the ICC to join the Court, as it is faced with an US-Israeli campaign of destruction & siege.
"It is not logical to demand the application of international law rules without being part of it," he stresses.

هل فكرنا كدول عربية الانضمام للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية ( ١٧ دولة من ٢٢ ليسوا أعضاء) لدعم المحكمة التي تتعرض الآن إلى حملة تدمير أمريكية اسرائيلية ممنهجة ومقيته بسبب إصدارها مذكرات توقيف ضد نتنياهو وغيره من المتهمين بارتكاب جرائم ضد الإنسانية …
