Basically we've got two choices: we either aggressively denormalize Israel or we watch our society become more and more Israeli.
We either collectively reject Israel, or we watch western militaries fuse inseparably with the IDF.
We either turn support for Israel into political campaign poison, or we watch politicians obliterate our right to criticize Israel while backing increasingly evil Israeli military agendas.
We either ferociously oppose our government's involvement in middle eastern wars, or we watch Israeli leaders grow more and more ecstatic as more and more western blood and treasure flows into the war machine.
We either normalize viewing Israel as a freakish abomination, or we sit passively watching authoritarian Zionist operations like Palantir get inseparably interwoven into every level of western power institutions.
We either stand together to oppose Israel for the racist apartheid state that it is, or we watch our Muslim neighbors suffer increasing discrimination and abuse at home while our governments help massacre our Muslim brothers and sisters using high-tech war machinery abroad.
The west's growing collective rejection of Israel is the growth of the western conscience. The burgeoning pro-Palestine movement. The disgust with the Iran war. Young people's cultural cringe around all things Israeli. The increasingly unapologetic eye-rolling every time "antisemitism" is used as an excuse to shut down criticism of Israel. These are signs that we are growing morally healthier.
That's a good thing. The more we unite around a red hot "NO" to Israel and Zionism, the harder it will be for those in power to normalize the increasing Israelification of our society.
People often say, why don’t villagers in the West Bank ever hit back when Israeli settlers are brutalizing them or burning their homes? The answer was always obvious, but this is it. Netanyahu will use it as justification to accelerate slaughter and destruction in the West Bank:
Reminder: Israeli settlers are not civilians. They are armed, violent colonizers who terrorize Palestinians and have no business being on Palestinian land.
Israeli soldiers executed a group of Palestinians lying face down in a field today.
But you would never know that from this headline which doesn’t even mention ISRAEL.
POGROMS
against defenseless civilians
all over the West Bank (while Gaza is under fire).
Israeli civilians and army joining forces.
It is not just Nethanyahu and few "rotten apples".
THIS IS ISRAEL
ARMS EMBARGO NOW - STOP TRADE NOW
This is what intl law requires.
Everyone needs to see this. Hundreds of Israeli settlers are coming down from hilltops and setting entire Palestinian villages on fire. Full on pogroms.
Israel just wiped out the Sakina Baydoun School in Bint Jbeil, South Lebanon.
Not a military base. Not a battlefield.
A school that taught generations of students.
A piece of the city’s history. Gone.
I’ll soon be sponsoring a bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock (and other style) cameras to surveil law abiding citizens.
@DMichaelTripi Nothing says "partnership" like one party being required by law to share intel, tech, software, etc, with a line stating that even the president is not allowed to withhold anything, while the other party is required to contribute... *checks notes* absolutely nothing.
I love how everyone is appalled at the very concept of arresting the President of Israel, like we didn’t black-bag the President of Venezuela earlier this year.
This is astonishing:
99% of Americans don't even KNOW that America pays for Israel to have free healthcare.
Every Israeli citizen gets free healthcare paid for by the US taxpayer
And we don't even KNOW about it.
Let me explain this absurd ruse: The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire.
The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization @SecWar IS BREAKING THE LAW and must be held accountable.
The NDAA doesn't 'merge' the US & 'israeli' militaries. There is ZERO equivalent law in 'israel'.
'israel' gets everything—US data, joint R&D, and supply chain integration.
The US gets no matching access to IOF bases, factories, or decisions.
It's an official one way takeover.
Unfortunately, the House just voted to merge the most secretive & sensitive elements of our defense & intelligence apparatus with a foreign government.
This bill still has to clear the Senate.
Call your senators & representatives and tell them to not support the NDAA until the merger w/ Israel (Section 219) is removed.
Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121
BREAKING: Israeli invaders are entering civilian homes across South Lebanon, rigging them with explosives — then blowing them up.
Not military targets. Homes.
This is happening every single day during a so-called “ceasefire.”
No justification. Just pure terrorism.
Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich warns that Section 219 of the NDAA is a complete, well-planned takeover of the United States military by Benjamin Netanyahu.
He says the bill will give Netanyahu the ability to direct the U.S. military.
"But the truth is that it is laying the groundwork for an entanglement that has never happened in the history of the United States."
"This is totally unprecedented."
Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.
Thomas Massie issues one last warning to Americans about the dangers of Section 219, which would permanently merge the United States and Israeli military supply chains and outlast any presidency.
This would permanently integrate the U.S. military supply chains with Israel's.
"We don't have this kind of bilateral agreement with any other country."
"This project will have a lifespan that outlasts the commander in chief, regardless of who the next president is."
