Hundreds of Serbs, just 20 minutes away from Sarajevo in the neighbourhood of Pale, were “honouring” the war criminal Ratko Mladic. This is violence. This is genocide triumphalism. This is the sort of hatred that will not ever be wiped out b/c they are proud of it.

Hakeem Jeffries sits at the top of committee assignments and decide which dems go where.

A couple days ago the media leaks he met with Kushner.

Today it's announced the most pro-war, pro-Israel dem has been put in charge of the Dem party's Israel policy.

Totally unrelated.

So remember the settler who was killed in the attack on a Palestinian village on Friday? The one they said was killed by a Palestinian? The IDF now admits he was killed by friendly fire. Israel kills everyone including their own.

If you are a Democrat proudly tweeting out a column from conservative George Will published by Jeff Bezos’s oped page, then let’s be clear: you are telling on yourself.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Israeli soccer hooligans in Amsterdam got more media coverage than actual pogroms against Palestinians happening right now in the occupied West Bank.

They always make it clear whose lives they actually value.

“Palestinians say”?

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Just because you lobbied to have the man who issued the war crimes taken down doesn’t mean the war crimes disappear or your guilt is assuaged. You will not outrun justice. You will not lobby history. You are a murderous maniac Benjamin Netanyahu. You will always be remembered as such.

[Andrey X @the_andrey_x]

This is Sheikh Farouk Ramadan.

Yesterday afternoon, he and his family were attacked by settler-terrorists on their own land. Farouk managed to disarm one of the attackers. He took the settler's rifle and shot and killed two terrorists in a clear act of self-defence.

In response, Israeli soldiers murdered him and three of his family members. Israeli government and media portrays him as the terrorist, and the actual terrorists as the victims.

Don't let them push this narrative. Farouk had the full legal and moral right to resist against the genocidal terrorists who invaded his land.

They had me fired. Arrested 4 times. Suspended my medical licence. Smeared me in every paper.

Now the British zionist jewish lobby is attacking my fundraiser!

It cost me £90,000 to defend my licence. I live on what remains of my life savings.

I set up a Chuffed fundraiser to tackle police harassment and keep me on my feet. Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) is now threatening Chuffed with police action.

They want to destroy me.

I am a Palestinian and a British citizen. I have never had a patient complaint. Never broken the law. Worked for 7 years in the NHS. Cared for my fellow British citizens. Paid my taxes.

My crime?
I opposed genocide and jewish supremacy. Exposed their grip on Britain.

That's it.

My response:
{فَٱقْضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَآ}

So do whatever you want! Your authority only covers the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world. Qur'an 20:72
-

I would do it all over again. Everything I did was to save the lives of the Palestinian people being murdered by the jewish occupation. And to stop the British government from using my taxes to arm them.

May justice and truth prevail.
We fear God only.

Free Palestine and Britain from jewish supremacy 🇵🇸🇬🇧

A terrorist known for burning people’s homes down shows up at your door armed with assault rifles. His group has killed 13 people this year alone. You manage to snatch his gun and shoot. The army shows up and kills you. The world sides with the terrorist. Why? You are Palestinian

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

39 years ago today, Palestinian artist Naji Al-Ali was assassinated by Mossad in London.

Naji was born in 1938 in the Palestinian village of Al-Shajara, between Tiberias and Nazareth and one of the more than 531 towns and villages destroyed by jews during the Nakba.

At the age of 10, he was expelled from his homeland to Lebanon in 1948.

Naji used to say that little Handala—his most famous cartoon— was a symbol of the Palestinian people and, more personally, of his stolen childhood and aborted youth.

“They tell little children to turn their backs, but I don’t turn. The boy is the age I was when I left Palestine, and he will not grow up until I return.”

“Handala was born ten years old, and he will always remain ten years old. At that age, I left my homeland. When he returns, Handala will still be ten, and only then will he begin to grow older. The laws of nature do not apply to him. He is an exception because the loss of one’s homeland is an exception. Things will become normal again when the homeland returns.” - Naji Al-Ali

Rest in power hero.

@simonwiesenthal You are complicit in genocide. Your evil weaponization of the horrors of the Holocaust to whitewash Zionist evil is plain for everyone to see now. Thank you for showing your true purpose.

Italy & Germany are blocking the suspension of EU Partnership Agreement with Israel.

On Ukraine, Germany acts like a moral guardian, but when it comes to Palestine, it plays the three wise monkeys. Germany is a hypocritical, pitiful state.

[Tehran Tadhg @TadhgHickey]

I dunno man, I think the genocide was a bit worse.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Netanyahu turned down a fully formed plan to normalize with Saudi Arabia in 2024 because he refused to commit to a future Palestinian state. Israeli journalist Nadav Eyal reveals this in a new column. The terms Biden and MBS offered Israel were incredibly generous and would have ended the genocide too:

1) A hostage deal ending the Gaza war, with Israel keeping a security perimeter inside the Strip. MBS even told the administration, "I'm willing to send Saudi soldiers to manage Gaza."

2) On the Palestinian question, the Saudis accepted a relatively soft formula: an Israeli commitment to a Palestinian state within 5–7 years. They even reassured Israel that if statehood stalled, they'd blame Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) rather than blow up the agreement in 2034.

3) Since Ben Gvir and Smotrich would have toppled the government over such a deal, the Biden administration arranged a political "safety net": opposition leader Yair Lapid agreed to support Netanyahu's government for several months to complete the process.

4) A senior American official told an Israeli counterpart that Iran is about to "switch sides" toward the West — a historic shift, a "perestroika," with Mojtaba Khamenei becoming the Gorbachev of Shiite fundamentalism.

The US and Saudi Arabia offered Israel a way to get its hostages back, normalize with Saudi Arabia and begin rapprochement with Iran. All in exchange for some recognition of a Palestinian right to a state. Israel refused and chose genocide, war with Iran, death to many of the hostages and a continued coalition with Ben-Gvir. All to avoid giving Palestinians hope.

German activist Anna told me her story of being forcibly sexually penetrated in Israeli custody last year. I’m happy to see the Guardian pick up the story, but there hasn’t been a single mainstream German outlet that has yet

You share photos of women in hijab and say:

"Look how oppressed they are."

You never share photos of women holding their dead child in a bombed hospital and say:

"Look what my taxes did."

You are not worried about women’s rights.

You are worried about maintaining the illusion that your violence is somehow enlightened.
