@TarikCyrilAmar Great idea telling the victims and their children what to learn from the Holocaust … Their learning (very understandably) has been never to be helpless and unarmed again. And as for siding with Iran: Shows your true colours.

@JafJan @perlentaucher00 @SamHarris Sehr gute Argumentation!

[Andreas Kloevekorn @Kloevi]

@WolfReuter3 @ThomasDittric20 In der Hinsicht war Merkel nicht anders - hat Kritik auch souverän ignoriert.

Die Gleichförmigkeit der Kommentare, die Israel "Eskalation" vorwerfen, ist kaum zu überbieten. Wie kann man Israels Vorgehen im Libanon kritisieren, ohne mit einem Wort den Grund dafür zu nennen: die ständige Verletzung des Waffenstillstands durch die Hisbollah und die Ohnmacht der libanesischen Regierung?
Die "internationale Gemeinschaft" hat zugesehen, wie die Hisbollah in die demilitarisierte Zone vorgerückt ist, ein riesiges Raketenarsenal gegen Israel aufgebaut und einen Staat im Staat errichtet hat. Sie hat zugesehen, wie israelische Städte und Dörfer in der Grenzregion wegen ständiger Angriffe der Hisbollah evakuiert werden mussten, und sie hat zugesehen, wie ein endloser Strom von Waffen aus dem Iran in den Libanon geschafft wurde. Wie immer wacht sie erst auf, wenn Israel sich verteidigt.
Dass Deutschland sich dieser billigen Verurteilung anschließt, um seine Chancen auf einen Sitz im Sicherheitsrat zu verbessern, ist kläglich. https://t.co/xBHLqxyANJ

Großen Respekt an die @buergerschaftHH für die Idee, die Initiative und die Umsetzung, die israelische Flagge auf dem Rathausgebäude zu hissen - als Reaktion auf die Verbrennung der Flagge in dieser Woche am Fuße des Gebäudes.

Sehr guter Thread zur historischen Komplexität der Situation 1947-49 und den groben Vereinfachungen des „Nakba“-Narrativs!

[SK Tedeschi @skedeschi]

I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel.

A thread. 🧵

@Hoodlum670 @IgorMatviyets Nein, @IgorMatviyets hat Recht: Genau darum geht es.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Today is going to be a bit of a different article. I want to tell you what happened to me this week in the Netherlands.

I was invited to speak at a conference organised by Thinc, a Dutch think tank, on the weaponisation of international law against Israel. My first talk to the main audience was about the psychological function of that weaponisation. The point I made was simple: accusations against Israel are no longer treated as accusations; they are presented as verdicts. The allegation becomes the punishment.

Israel is accused of genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, starvation, war crimes, and so on. In normal legal reasoning, such claims are tested against evidence, definitions, context, intent, precedent, and the conduct of the enemy. However, in anti-Israel discourse, the accusation itself is treated as a judgment. The charge is enough. The slogan is enough. The process becomes the stick with which the Jewish state is beaten.

My second speech was at the Free University in Amsterdam alongside the superb Anne Herzberg and Danny Orbach. I am told the event had been difficult to organise. The university had hosted pro-Palestinian events, but this was apparently the first event that could be considered to have given a more balanced perspective, and the organisers had to jump through a number of hoops to make it happen.

When we arrived, security escorted us to the lecture room. This was something of a clue that things were not normal. Outside the room, we were met by what I suppose you could call an arrivals committee: four activists in keffiyehs, silently holding Palestinian flags.

That gave us a fairly good sense of how the morning would go...

Beeindruckende Klarheit!

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.

Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.

Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.

I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.

The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.

I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.

So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

The oldest hatred is back, and I am absolutely done with this shit. Get angry and then get angrier.

"Das 'From the River to the Sea'-Orchester reagiert sogar auf die moderaten Worte von Ethan Hawke, als hätte er sich nicht einem Bekenntniszwang entzogen, sondern gesagt: 'Palästina ist eine Erfindung von Jassir Arafat, also bombt Gaza einfach weg.'"
