If IRGC decides not to carry out an attack on Israel tonight after promising to strike, expect a message like:
“At the request of Pakistan, we have decided not to carry out the strike this time…”
"Long live Iran! Long live the resistance!" Beneath flags of the murderous regime. A "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" protest in London earlier this year. The regime is much loved by the hate marchers.
It's never been more frightening for Jews to get together in public than it is right now. But today in Toronto is the year's biggest public event for Jewish families.
They're showing up despite these malicious people who come to menace children.
A DoorDash driver named Kaylynn Dang posted a public Instagram video of herself refusing to deliver to a house because Israeli and American flags were hung outside.
This is blatant discrimination based on a customer’s presumed nationality.
Xenophobia isn’t a joke. And a company like DoorDash should not be employing people who don’t see that.
Tonight is my last night in Glasgow.
It is where I was born. It is where I spent my childhood, where I became a Bar Mitzvah, and where much of my understanding of myself was formed.
Mostly because of my parents, Scotland has always been the constant. No matter where I happened to be living, whether London, Hong Kong, or elsewhere, there was always an assumption that Scotland would be there. It was the place I returned to when life became complicated, uncertain, or challenging. My parents were here. It was familiar. It was home.
Tomorrow, I leave the UK and make Aliyah to Israel.
Over the past few years, I have spent a great deal of time writing, researching, and speaking about Jewish identity, Jewish peoplehood, Jewish indigeneity, and Jewish self-determination. In many ways, that journey led me here. Not because I stopped being British, but because I came to understand more deeply what it means to be Jewish.
Tomorrow I will become an Israeli citizen. I leave with great love for the life my parents gave me here and excitement about the chapter that lies ahead.
Scotland will always be where I am from.
But tomorrow, I go home.
🚨 Meet the UCLA Professor Who Served on Santa Monica’s Reparations Task Force and Says Reparations Should Help Dismantle America’s “Settler Colony”
Sometimes I watch these panels and think, okay, this is insane, but how much real-world impact do these people actually have? Then I learn Kyle T. Mays is a UCLA professor who served on Santa Monica’s Landback and Reparations Task Force.
Mays says decolonization means “the return of land and the end of colonialism.” He criticizes an approach to reparations when they operate in a “liberal manner,” so something like cash payments make his “head want to explode” because it does not challenge capitalism or work to dismantle America’s “racial settler capitalist structure.”
Mays shared how his time on the Santa Monica task force was more of a “comedy show” as identity politics turned people on each other. I am going to share more on this in the thread.
Brea Baker, an activist and writer, takes the conversation in an even more revealing direction, talking about “new homelands,” “no borders,” and “fluid migration,” while admitting there is a “thin line” between that and settler colonialism, gentrification, and land theft.
All I can say is that it’s crazy to me to see someone treated as a reparations expert, who served on an actual government task force, basically explain that reparations are too liberal unless they become a vehicle for dismantling America.
And honestly, this is probably the future of the reparations debate.
Meet Kaylynn Dang.
She refuses to deliver a family's @DoorDash order because their home displayed an Israeli flag.
Discriminating against customers based on their nationality is unacceptable @t_xu.
Like toddlers who don’t get their way, some protestors are just attempting to sit on the grass and hold onto their flags for dear life to disrupt the walk.
It doesn’t work.
The @TorontoPolice@TPSOperations are allowing the terrorist supporters to march alongside the Walk With Israel so that the Jewish kids & their parents can be berated as they walk along as opposed to one gauntlet to walk through.
Trump: "We have a blockade. It's been extremely effective, and the reason we have it is they tried to blockade and now we blockaded them. They're losing $4-500 million a day... We have the ultimate blockade."
Greta Thunberg says climate is connected to Palestine because of “genocide” and “apartheid”. Except there is neither of those things happening. So what’s the real excuse.
