@wickbourne69@cenkuygur@EYakoby Most of the Israelites' enemies were taken out by their other enemies. 4000 years, and the land only belonged to them for 400 of them because they got curb stomped every century or so.
This is exactly why billionaires can’t exist. This man is burning the entire world down because he cannot accept his daughter for who she is. And he has the money to actually do it. No one can have that power.
More Trumpian nonsense from Reform.
They like to think of themselves as the voice of Britain, but the truth is that they can't tolerate so many of the things that make this country great.
Been playing a lot of OSRS again and finally unlocked Fairy Rings. Holy shit the game just opens up entirely after that. Loved the fairy language cipher as well.
Hamawy served as a combat surgeon in Iraq, which we invaded based on lies told by Ari Fleischer. Hamawy told me yesterday that on heavy days of battle he’d operate on as many as 30-40 American servicemembers, triaging where he had to.
Ari bears significant responsibility for every single one of those maimed men and women that Hamawy worked to save.
Now to have the balls to link him to Al Qaeda is not remotely the most shameful thing he’s done in his life, but it has to be in the top ten.
A short response:
Zionists usually define Zionism as something abstract. It’s a feeling of Jewish connection to Israel. Or its the idea that the Jewish people have a right to be safe in their homeland, or, sing it with me now, that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish State!
Or, perhaps my favorite, as the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs put it above, “Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, affirming their right to self-determination in their historic indigenous homeland, the Land of Israel.” It’s SEO and LLM optimized!
The problem with these definitions of Zionism is that Zionism was not an abstract idea but a “in real life” movement. It was a movement with leaders, institutions, policies and militias that set out to build what it called a Jewish state with a Jewish supermajority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools maintained by Jewish-only militias in a country that was overwhelmingly Palestinian Arab. What could possibly go wrong?
The first thing that could and did go wrong was that not enough Jews moved to Palestine to outnumber the Palestinian Arabs. It was known as the “Arab problem,” i.e., the problem that there were too many Arabs in Palestine. By the mid-late 1930s, the Zionist movement settled on “transfer,” i.e., expulsion, as the optimal solution to this problem. And then, in 1948, that’s exactly what Israel did, expel about 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. Then they expelled another 30,000 over the next decade. And then another 300,000 in 1967, along with 130,000 Syrians, and then they pushed out a few hundred thousand more from 1968 to 1993, and a few hundred thousand more since.
Today, Israel’s forcible displacement policies are on steroids. Israel is crowding Palestinians into smaller and smaller areas of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel, and pushing them out of Palestine altogether at an accelerating pace. Now, it’s expanding into Lebanon and Syria and doing the same there to Lebanese and Syrians.
Zionists insist on a definition of Zionism detached from the history of the Zionist movement. As we said, the Zionist movement at its core was about the immigration of Jews into Palestine and the displacement of Palestinians out of it, the construction of Jewish settlements in it and the destruction of Palestinian ones, and the armament of Jewish militias and disarmament of Palestinian ones. That was how an Arab country was transformed into a Jewish one, demographically, physically and kinetically.
Zionists can call immigration “indigenousness,” they can call colonization “the right to self-determination” and they can call a policy on forever, forcible displacement “liberation.” They can do that.
But the propaganda isn’t working anymore. That’s why Israel’s Foreign Ministry budget will receive a $150 million bonus this year, more than a 20X increase in bonus blood money. That’s also why the Israel lobby in the US is responsible for the most expensive primaries in US American history. And that’s why Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post, since people aren’t buying the bullshit anymore.
And the reason is pretty simple. Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza has ripped the mask off the underlying logic of Zionism. As Patrick Wolfe famously put it in his classic essay on the topic, settler-colonial movements, “without exception,” lead to a logic of the “elimination of the native.” And in the case of Palestine, the logic of the elimination of the native needed no theorizing by academics, not even a look at history. Instead, it has been on live-stream every day for the past 969 days, and counting.

The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.
A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.
That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.
If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.
The headline talks about Antisemitism fears.
Yet both people were criticising a genocidal Israeli Government.
This constant conflation of criticism of Jewish people with criticism of Israel makes me as a Jewish person feel less safe.
Such a dangerous decision by Labour.
My white dad died of prostate cancer.
1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer.
That’s twice the rate of white people.
This policy will save lives - and mean more NHS resources for others.
This opportunistic race baiting is disgusting.
I'm sorry, call me a prick, but I wont stop talking about Arsenal sacking their kit manager of over a decade for sharing pro-palestine posts, only to then go hire an Israeli sponsor. Just wrong.

Your cruel and anti-science demonisation of trans people has seen the country drop behind Serbia in the European table for LGBTQ+ rights.
You can sit this one out.
Last year Hasan Piker spoke at The Oxford Union and highlighted the rise of antisemitism, fascism and the dangerous conflation between criticism of Israel and all Jewish people.
He was invited to speak again but pro-Israel groups successfully persuaded the UK Gov to ban him from entering the country.
This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk.
People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already.
A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government.
