If you excuse crimes committed by "the good guys" they're not good guys.

@Haikooer @LeslieBarandky @rfpalestine What does the KGB have to do with Zionist propaganda?

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

After Israel occupied Gaza & the West Bank in 1967, it deported Palestinian intellectuals, educators & politicians who (peacefully) resisted Israeli domination.

In 1969, Jordan stopped allowing Israel to do this at border crossings.

So Israel started dumping Palestinians in the desert. They sent 800 Palestinians onto a virtual death march from 1969-1973.

Yusuf 'Abdullah 'Udwan was deported this way. Here's his survival testimony:

Almost as vicious and violent as the thrown sandwich attack that allegedly gave a police officer PTSD.

TMZ obtained video of the incident from CODEPINK, where Rep. Luna says a protester assaulted her.

@cloudofposting @tangible_uno More people should know about Abdullah Dawud, the Jewish Iraqi who fought for the ALA in 1948

@artisanrocky Inability to speak is easily confused with lack of intelligence. You might be shocked by the number of deaf people who are diagnosed with intellectual handicaps.

@ClearReason This is like a deranged parody of fascism. "Wars don't end when people say they do"? Wars end when people stop fighting them, often through peace treaties that leave both sides intact. Societies don't need perpetual wars that only end in genocide.

[William Holden @danceswitbears]

@KhazarianAlt No, Palestinians are generally against ethnic cleansing and genocide. They've been pretty straightforward on the subject.

[William Holden @danceswitbears]

@simon_schama The difference is that Zionists criticize the Israeli government for being incompetent or disagree over whether Palestinians should be kept in apartheid, expelled, or killed.

Antizionists think Palestinians are entitled to human rights, a view that Zionists will not tolerate.

[William Holden @danceswitbears]

@havivrettiggur "None of the Jews were combatants"? Many were part of the Warsaw Uprising or Partisans resisting Nazi occupation. Both the Jews of Europe and Palestinians resisted occupation and ethnic cleansing of an ethnonationalist invasion. You just think that only Jews have the right to.

the thing about that Roman Helmet Guy is that in a wine dark sea of deepfakes and AI ragebaiters at least you know he’s real because even AI isn’t that self indulgently and unapologetically stupid

@nkulw This was in 2021, BTW. And she was a respected professor of Yiddish literature at Harvard.

[Sturgeon's Law @Sturgeons_Law]

Note the part where she says "American Jews, what do you have to worry about?" Many Israel propagandists will admit to an ingroup audience that US Jews are safe, but in mainstream messaging, will still say Israel is existentially important for Jews everywhere.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

I’m completely broken watching this. How is the world still letting Israel genocide the Palestinians? Someone …. Please do something …. Anything

[William Holden @danceswitbears]

@gatgranas @maclauren70 @ShaiDavidai @AaronRegunberg 1. Based on ethnicity isn't a meaningful difference.
2. Palestinian Israelis don't have equal rights.
3. White South Africans weren't allowed in Bantustans.

[William Holden @danceswitbears]

@orawyz @germaniella Palestinians have never had any option for a Palestinian state that did not entail ethnic cleansing or formalized apartheid.

@Brevitous @theo_nash This has to be bait...

@anexiledjew @HuntersOfNazis On the off chance that you're actually confused, I should tell you that "dead to me" is a common English idiom expressing the intention to shun a person, not murder them.

@JasonBeeferman @AlexBores "I'm pro-Confederacy but anti-slavery."

@MarkGoldfeder Certainly they are easier to prove when they're over.

[William Holden @danceswitbears]

@samrumackreal When neo-Nazi in the US march around waving flags with swatsikas, people assume they're racist garbage, even though the German political party they're showing support for was far away and long gone.
