Israel currently occupies and controls 20% of Lebanon—the same proportion that Russia occupies and controls of Ukraine.

The World condemned Russia, but cannot condemn Israel!

Hypocrisy.

[Zack Stentz @MuseZack]

I will never in a million years understand why these guys think it's some kind of an own when they point out that the Civil Rights Movement wasn't random but actually incredibly strategic and organized and aware of optics when they planned their civil disobedience campaigns.

[Hayden @the_transit_guy]

The idea that the “MAHA” movement is not funding tens of thousands of miles of bikeways and recreational trails, but is instead defunding these projects, is beyond me.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Why did NYT change their headline to remove “Israeli”?

“Extremist” makes it sound like a fringe group, when the occupation itself is official Israeli policy.

there isn’t a single thing trump supporters can point to that’s in line w what trump promised he’d deliver beyond being ruthless to non citizens and cruelty to the ideological opposition.

"violence isn't the answer" only gets said when oppressed people start fighting back, not when the oppression is happening

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

As a reporter on the ground, @SecRubio , I can tell you unequivocally that the only entity bombing and killing civilians in Lebanon on a daily basis is the Israeli army. Almost 3,000 dead since March 2nd. More than 100 medical professionals. Almost 200 children. All killed by Israel.

They were 100% right to do this. You are not a random citizen, you are quite literally an agent of the US government.

"Hezbollahs war" and once again the role of victim and victimiser has been reversed. It wasn't hezbollah that started this war

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this:

"Israel did X."

"Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y."

"Yeah, because Israel did Z."

"Yeah but only because the Arabs did A."

But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there.

Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there.

So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen.

And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today.

This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected.

Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews.

The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.

[Mayowa @Mayoveli]

This cost them about $1 trillion.

The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.

And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Hilariously, when you actually read this FT article 👇 one of the main "national security problems for Europe" that could be "posed by Chinese green technology" is, quote: "that the US could demand Europe remove Chinese technology from its energy systems — or face tariffs, sanctions or reduced security commitments."

In other words, a risk that has literally nothing to do with China but everything to do with the US's chokehold on European sovereignty.

[Tax Payer ⚖️ @mosalamandani]

When Americans teach their kids how to use firearms, it is patriotism, self defense and all about the second amendment.

When Muslims teach their kids how to use firearms, it’s violence and jihad.

Meanwhile their countries are getting bombed and destroyed. Do they not deserve the right to self defense?

Western hypocrisy is so nauseating, at this point, it’s not ignorance, it’s conscientious stupidity.

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

They're not even trying to hide it anymore, just straight-up Great Replacement Theory driving their ideology.

Still crazy to me that the AP Style Guide bans the use of the word "Palestine"

[the hotter kenny omega @SamGreszes]

You don't hear about this bc it is specifically related to adding protected bike lanes and its illegal in the usa to imply that infringing on people's god given right to 8-lane residential roads might be necessary for traffic safety

[Nabil Al-Karkhi @nabilalkarkhi]

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese tears apart the question about Israel's "right to exist"

[Corey Walker 🇺🇸 @CoreyWriting]

This was never affordable at any point in America. The glamorized depiction of the past exists because all media from that era is from the lens of the economic upper class.
