Antizionism is a lie about the Jewish people. It relies on rewriting Jewish history. Historical fabrication is central to its method.
Typically, we see the rewriting focusing on the 20th century. But because antizionism ultimately seeks to erase all evidence of Jewish indigeneity and presence in the region, it inevitably expands into a wholesale rewriting of history stretching all the way back into the ancient world.
Those who still naively insist that antizionism is merely “criticism of Israel” or opposition to the Netanyahu government should ask themselves:
What’s so intolerable about discussing ancient Jewish history that an academic lecture triggers security concerns at a public institution?
This notice and the explanation from the British Museum: is this the world you want to live in?
Do you really think the policing of history, the intimidation of public institutions, and this blatant encroachment on academic freedom and freedom of assembly are acceptable — and that it will end with Jews and Israel?
The British Museum has cancelled a Jewish Culture Month event on Ancient Israel and Judah due to ‘security concerns’.
If publicly-funded institutions cannot host such events without folding to pressure, serious questions arise about that funding.

No-one on the bus stuck up for her.
Maybe when Brighton and Hove calls itself a "City of Sanctuary" in future they can have the grace and honesty to put "terms and conditions apply" in small print.

This from @_j0sh_a_ is perfect.
The video - from @Palestine_UN’s own tweet - is riddled with lies, false years, misleading photos, and Arab atrocities against Jews (and others).
All packaged as Arab victims.
Without the lies, Palestinianism dies.
‘Nicholas Kristof raped my dog. At least that is what I have heard, from an anonymous source. A source who is intensely hostile to the New York Times columnist. And that’s good enough for me. Now I come to think of it, my pet pug has had a strange look on his face lately.’
Excellent start to this piece by @DouglasKMurray

Following the discussion about @NickKristof new blood libel in the The New York Times (rape by dogs, etc.), another critical fact was missed in the heat of the argument. Kristof cites former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as confirming the suspicions.
And that is a journalistic malpractice.
Let us leave aside for a moment the fact that choosing *only* Olmert — who has become an extreme critic of the government and even served time in prison himself — is problematic. Why not ask also, for example, Naftali Bennett or Yair Lapid, whose experience as prime ministers is much closer to the relevant period? Why not speak with officers who are acquainted with the prison system and present diverse points of view?
Let us also leave aside the complete impossibility of the dog story, and also the fact that the three medical articles quoted by Kristof *do not* support his allegations.
The main problem is that Olmert did not say these things. According to a statement he gave to the New York Times, which was obtained by The Free Press, Olmert never confirmed allegations of rape. He apparently spoke about crimes in the West Bank in general, or settler violence, or something else.
Unlike the disputes over the credibility of Palestinian witnesses, or the Hamas-supporting organizations that fed Kristof with his information, this is something entirely unambiguous. Kristof interviewed a former Israeli statesman and distorted his words in a senseless manner.
Kristof is not a journalist, his article is not an investigation, and the New York Times long ago ceased to be a newspaper.

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”

This is a tweet that Nick Kristof's source published on October 7, 2023, at 9:22 pm Israel time.
Think about what was known by that time.
Since that day, this fake human rights org has never condemned Hamas for anything, not even the taking of little Israeli girls as hostages.
I need you to follow this carefully.
A photographer submitted images to the New York Times.
One showed a severely thin Palestinian boy, using it to claim Israel was deliberately starving civilians. The Times published it on the front page.
The child had cerebral palsy. Pre-existing conditions. Nothing to do with famine.
The Times CORRECTED the story. Publicly. On record.
The Pulitzer Prize committee, which awards journalism’s highest honour, read the correction. Reviewed the work, and gave the photographer the prize anyway.
One of the oldest lies in human history, that Jews deliberately harm children, is award-worthy journalism.
It just won a Pulitzer.
