Al Jazeera has uncovered a horrifying scandal at USC.
'Bodies donated for scientific research were sold to the US Navy and ended up in the hands of Israeli military surgeons for IDF training'
NEW: With local elections less than three weeks away, Labour fear a wipeout in the capital.
But I’ve uncovered evidence which suggests that a member of their London executive committee participated in Israeli military training.
Here’s the TRUTH about Labour’s London campaign:🧵
Netanyahu:
“Israel protects Christians throughout the region…”
“Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian community is thriving.”
“We cherish our Christian friends. We protect the Christian holy sites.”
Meanwhile this soldier breaks the statue of Jesus in a democratic country with over 35% of the population being Christian, and the President legally has to be Christian.
Britain First thugs surround a lone woman at bus stop because she booed them.
Signature woman-beater MO like Paul Golding.
“Protect our women and girls” my ar*e.
You mocked me for stating how unsafe these rallies are for women this morning. Any apologies? Of course not.
The far right are a danger to women. Women know this.
Wow. Everyone should read this 1983 article by Roald Dahl. Every word of it. It's literally the same fucking shit as now, with the same kind of impunity, only now it's even much worse. He called it. He fucking called it and they just ignored him and called him an antisemite.
The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
Here is why the Passover story of Egyptian Exodus is completely made up. Not only is there no evidence for it, but it is chronologically impossible. Not on the scale mentioned in the bible or on any scale at all:
1) Decades of intensive archaeological surveys in the Sinai Peninsula have failed to uncover any remains, such as pottery, encampments, or human waste, that would indicate a population of over two million people spent 40 years wandering the desert. Not one piece of pottery, one hearth, or one Hebrew inscription from that era has been found in the Sinai.
2) Ancient Egypt was a highly literate society with meticulous administrative records. Despite this, no Egyptian text from the Bronze Age mentions a mass slave revolt, the devastating plagues, or the loss of an entire army in the sea.
3) Modern archaeology suggests that the ancient Israelites were actually indigenous to Canaan. They appear to have emerged from local Canaanite populations during the Bronze Age collapse, rather than arriving as a conquering force from outside.
4) The biblical figure of 603,550 men (totaling roughly 2.5 million people including families) is logistically impossible for the time. A line of that many people, walking eight abreast, would have been hundreds of miles long, meaning the front would reach the destination while the back was still in Egypt.
5) The Book of Exodus mentions places like the city of Rameses and the land of Goshen, as well as the use of camels, which were not in existence or common at the time the events were supposed to have occurred. This suggests the story was written centuries later. Archaeology shows that at the time the conquest was supposed to happen, Jericho had no walls and was either a tiny village or completely uninhabited.
6) If 2.5 million people entered a land from Egypt, you would expect to see a sudden, massive shift in technology, diet, or burial customs. Instead, we see a slow, internal evolution. The people who became "Israelites" were likely local Canaanite farmers and nomadic herders who moved into the highlands to escape the collapse of the coastal city-states.
7) The Exodus is said to have took place well before there is evidence of Israelites existing. The bible has it at 1446 BCE. The first mention of Israelites is in 1208 by the Pharaoh Merneptah. He mentions them as a foreign people with no ties to Egypt.
8) The biggest hole in the story is that during the 13th century BCE (the time of Ramesses II), Canaan was an Egyptian province. Egypt had forts, tax collectors, and governors all over the "Promised Land."If the Israelites fled Egypt to go to Canaan, they were essentially "fleeing Egypt to go to Egypt."
9) The story appears to have been made up during the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE. They needed a story to give them hope: a story where their God defeats a superpower Egypt) and leads them back to their homeland. By creating a shared "escape" story, they turned a collection of local Canaanite tribes into a single, unified nation.
So this is a beautiful story, but a complete myth. Its greatest value is that it has inspired many to pursue freedom, most famously African Americans who identified deeply with the story.
