Even more so than in 1948, what Israel is doing is staring us in the face in real time. And yet, just as in 1948, Israel’s lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing inside Gaza. Most genocide experts conclude it is carrying out genocide too. The goal in both cases is to cause another Great Ethnic Cleansing, driving Palestinians outside their homeland, as happened in 1948 and again in 1967, under cover of war.

And yet neither of these terms – ethnic cleansing and genocide – are in the “mainstream” coverage of, and commentary about, Israel’s attack on Gaza.

We’re still told that this is about “eradicating” Hamas – something that very obviously cannot be achieved because you can’t eradicate an oppressed people’s determination to resist their oppressor. The more you oppress them, the more resistance you provoke.

The West is now trying to focus public attention on the “day after”, as though the wasteland that has been made of Gaza can be governed by anyone, let alone the chronically weak, Vichy-style regime known as the Palestinian Authority.

It is astonishing to see that what was true in 1948 is equally true in 2023. Israel spreads lies and deceit. Western elites repeat those lies. And even when Israel commits crimes against humanity in broad daylight, when it warns in advance of what it is doing, Western establishments still refuse to acknowledge those crimes.

The truth, which should have been obvious long before, in 1948, is that Israel is not a peace-loving, liberal democracy. It is a classic settler colonial state, following in a long “Western” tradition that led to the founding of the United States, Canada and Australia, among others.

Settler colonialism’s mission is always the same: to replace the native population.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Holy shit. No wonder they wanted to expel @Justinjpearson from the Tennessee House. He’s brilliant. Watch him school his Republican colleagues for trying to pass an another bill targeting trans youth by [mis]quoting Alexander Hamilton and the founding fathers.

@arielhelwani this made me like you a lot today @arielhelwani "where were you in 2001?!"

[Tomy Bewick @TommyBuick]

@ThisIsScribe eh, if she's anything like my teen; soon enough it will be introduced to your butt, awake. enjoy the bliss of pretending it's innocent lol.

[Tomy Bewick @TommyBuick]

@HollyPainters if you're really getting more out of it than just the basic service (ie: good talks, thoughtful post treatment tips, a few extra minutes of care) then an extra $10-20 is nice to validate that effort. I don't think anyone expects it tho, as most pro treatments are priced upwards.

Adam Ayyad, 15, asked his mother for stuffed zucchini cooked in yoghurt for lunch today… An Israeli bullet to his chest during an Israeli invasion to Dhesiheh refugee camp ended the 10th grader life short. Way too short.

Zionist settlers attacking our Episcopal cemetery in #Jerusalem. Some people are having a party between Netanyahu’s ally Ben Gvir & the impunity granted by their western friends. Yes, please keep talking about “shared values” and “rock solid relationship”.

@JessicaLBurbank "welcome to the clown show" -why would you call your own show that, unless you know you are the clown- lol

@JessicaLBurbank tell me you don't understand how climate change works without telling me....

As a physician, the current policy of opening warming centres when it is -15 C is not aligned with the evidence. The majority of cold related injuries that come to our emergency departments are when it is warmer than -15 C. We should not need “extreme weather” to show humanity.

Hello 911, I'd like to report a murder

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.

These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.
