As Israel prepares to invade and ravage Rafah, partly in the name of freeing the hostages, we need to talk about... the hostages. We do. The truth about the hostages. Three things they don't tell you about the hostages.
From my #MehdiUnfiltered opening monologue the other day:
Israel fears Palestinian children. They represent the Palestinian tomorrow and are therfore a mortal threat to the Zionist project. That is why Israel has intensionally targeted children in its genocidal war.
“The Miraculous Counting”
The top half of the image is the results of NA 71 when 99 percent votes have been counted.
The bottom half of the image shows the results after the “miraculous” last 1 percent were counted.
Last 1 % decreased the votes of @RehanaImtiazDar by 31K and increased the vote of @KhawajaMAsif by 36 K.
This is new “Mathematics” of @ECP_Pakistan where the votes regress as the counting proceeds.
The nation of 240 millions is feeling mocked, shocked and robbed. They came out in the highest turn outs, and their votes have been ridiculed.
By the way, why USA is so MUTE and NUMB?
The people of Pakistan have the same right on democracy as the people of USA. If @StateDept the USA does not issue a statement about this farce election, then they will be considered as “partners in crime”. Their silence is proving that each and every thing that Imran Khan blamed about Cipher case was aboslutely RIGHT.

"The Zionist movement cannot be negotiated with. It must be defeated.”
Professor David Miller statement after his tribunal victory against the University of Bristol:
“This is not just a victory for me, but also a victory for pro-Palestine campaigners across Britain. Over many years, anti-Zionists have faced harassment and censorship in Britain due to the efforts of the Israel lobby. Many people have faced disciplinary procedures and lost their jobs for manifesting their anti-Zionist beliefs.
“Before I took my case, it was unclear whether a belief in the idea that Zionism is a racist, imperialist, and colonial ideology could be protected under the Equality Act 2010 as a philosophical belief. I’m proud to say that, with this case, we have proven that anti-Zionist beliefs, of the sort that I articulated, should be protected.”
“I hope this case will become a touchstone precedent in all the future battles that we face with the racist and genocidal ideology of Zionism and the movement to which it is attached. The determination that I was sacked for my anti-Zionist beliefs is a vindication of the case I made all the way through this process. The University of Bristol maintained that I was sacked because Zionist students were offended by my various remarks. However, it was plain from the evidence provided by the university’s own witnesses, that I was sacked because of the anti-Zionist nature of my comments.
“This verdict is also a vindication of the approach I have taken throughout this period, which is to say that a genocidal and maximalist Zionism can only be effectively confronted by a maximalist anti-Zionism. The self-justifying and defensive approach of the sort illustrated by many on the Left and even in the Palestine Solidarity movement will not work. The Zionist movement cannot be negotiated with. It must be defeated.”
The curtain has been pulled back. The veil has been ripped away. The mask has been discarded. There is no law applicable to the west. They never really believed in human rights, humanitarian law, or even the prohibition of genocide. It was all about controlling the other. #Shame
I would like people to stop having a doomist and pessimistic view on the ICJ ruling. It IS a huge win for Palestinians. Stop helping Israel hasbara because you don’t understand the significance of the ruling and the provisional measures.
I’ve been crying since morning nonstop till I saw this message from Alexei Sayle, a British Jewish comedian.
He restored me.
The best #Christmas message you will hear in these dark days
#Gaza
If you want to think about *structural* racism, consider the 100s of British mercenaries who've travelled to bomb & sniper captive Palestinian children on their own land - TikToking themselves enjoying it - who will slide back into society with no consequences on their return. 1/
During Hanukkah, a coalition of settler groups funded by the state of Israel held a conference to discuss a “practical” plan to build the first settlements in Gaza, all while the Israeli government is actively waging a genocidal war on Palestinians.
THIS is ethnic cleansing.
While we’re on, here is one of the few decent speeches I’ve ever seen a celebrity of this status make at one of these pampered and privileged award ceremonies
ThREAD 🧵
As a Gazan with 15 years of research on Hamas under my belt, I address the question: Can Hamas be eliminated? The straightforward answer is no. The methods Israel is using are unlikely to completely dismantle Hamas. Recent polls suggest a surge in support for Hamas in both Gaza and the West Bank, but this portrayal warrants skepticism and calrifications. 1/12
60,000 Americans live in illegal settlements, built on land stolen from Palestinians; another 100,000 are living in stolen homes in Jerusalem.

If Americans really want to begin understanding the Palestinian experience and what Israel is aiming to do and actually doing please find the closest reservation and go hear the testimonies from the people of the Americas, the Indigenous Nations.
The ones European colonizers tried to eradicate and then pushed into small corners of the land at gun point. Ripping the skulls of men and denying youth the possibility to even be with the land in a way of life which is foreign to the European colonial. Meanwhile, the colonials exploited the resources to make a market for mass consumption of produce and products.
Begin shedding America of its delusion of justice & democracy. As a governing system it is an abomination to both.
Israeli real estate company Harei Zahav is promoting the establishment of a settlement over the rubble of Gaza after it is ethnically cleansed.
The company is recognized for its construction of hundreds of illegal settlements in the West Bank.
🧵As Israel continues to pound Gaza into dust, MintPress compiles some of the most genocidal statements made by senior Israeli officials, proving that their intent is to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its population.
Your daily reminder that Israel is bombing a civilian population trapped in an enclosed space, while starving them from food and water and depriving them from médecines and medical assistance. Most of these people are women and children. It’s been over 2 months of this madness.
