Holocaust Survivor Demolishes Israel

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The Zionist project, as it has evolved since 1948, is not at all about Jewish lives or emancipation.

It is a Western colonisation project functional to the Anglo-American agenda of maintaining control over the Middle East and impeding: (a) its non-alignment with Western machinations for the wider region, and (b) its independent economic & cultural development by the indigenous population, Jews and Palestinians.

In the name of protecting Jewish lives and creating a safe country for Jews, this real-life Zionist project produces permanent insecurity for Jews and complicity in the genocide of another people for Western societies that have been duped into equating Israel with the defence of Jewish rights and lives.

@spectatorindex Honest question: if they don’t think he is qualified today, who is running the country today? Who is calling the shots? Is it leader by committee?

College leftists are going to face something they've longed for all their life actual struggle

This time it isn't PC BLM or Anti-White stuff

The road isn't paved

The enemy they've focused on is the real one that spoon fed them the previous lies that got them barking up the wrong tree. It is highly organized, has media on its side and will introduce them to the hard facts of living in a zionist empire.

They will learn what struggle means, and they can either eschew their values or fight it.

This is a truly incredible speech by the great Tony Benn that I’d recommend everyone watch.

A stunning exchange in Berlin between Scholz and Anwar Ibrahim. We live in a new world. Germany just didn’t get the memo. The contrast in public speaking ability also striking

[Jostein Hauge @haugejostein]

This is a must-read. A powerful critique of mainstream economics coming from Angus Deaton, a recent Nobel Prize winner in economics who has spent most of his career within the mainstream.

He highlights five major deficiencies of mainstream economics, and they are spot on: the neglect of power structures in economic analyses, the marginalisation of philosophical issues, the obsession with efficiency, the narrow interpretation of empirical methods and the blind fixation on inferential statistics, and the lack of humility vis-a-vis other social sciences.

Incredible interview of @georgegalloway after his electoral victory.
https://t.co/GFyIVmNarO

The dishonesty of the questions by the @SkyNews journalist are maddening.

How on earth can you assert that the VERY SAME people who voted for someone more than for all other major candidates COMBINED are worried about his win? And how can you characterize his victory as "divisive" when the very fact he united so many people behind his candidacy means he managed to... unite people like we rarely see anymore in liberal democracies!

This type of questioning is literally Orwellian doublespeak, which is sadly par for the course in today's mainstream media...

Thankfully Galloway is a masterful rhetorician and he made mincemeat of this poor excuse for a journalist, which makes it a very pleasing watch.

The sheer hypocrisy and racism by the international companies and the globalists who claim they are champions of diversity, inclusiveness and campaign for women’s rights and minorities, yet they have been silent regarding the war crimes against defenseless Palestinian women and children. We all remember just after Russia invaded Ukraine these companies and within days condemned Russia and exited the country. The death toll in Gaza over 4 months is over 35,000 now including over 14,000 children and over 8,000 women. This far exceeds the civilian death toll in Ukraine over two years of war. There is no justification for any loss of civilian lives, but please spare us the hypocrisy and your alleged values, as you remain silent during this genocide and you continue to conduct business with an apartheid genocidal State. We will not forget and we will not forgive.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

This is historic. It is the first time a U.K. Foreign Secretary considers recognising the State of Palestine, bilaterally and in the UN, as a contribution to a peaceful solution rather than an outcome. A U.K. recognition is both a Palestinian right and a British moral, political, legal, and historical responsibility. If implemented, the Cameron Declaration would remove Israel’s veto power over Palestinian statehood, would boost efforts toward a two state outcome, and would begin correcting the historic injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people by colonial Britain’s Balfour declaration.

Today on @BBCnews commenting on the @cij_icj ruling.

Israel is now officially on trial for #genocide. That means all third parties that have offered material support for this genocide, including the UK and US, are on trial for complicity. Israel is not defending itself. It is defending its 76-year-old ethnic cleaning, colonial occupation and its suppression and denial of Palestinian rights. It is we, the Palestinian people under occupation, that have the right to self-defence.

[Adonia Ayebare @adoniaayebare]

Justice Sebutinde ruling at the International Court of Justice does not represent the Government of Uganda’s position on the situation in Palestine. She has previously voted against Uganda’s case on DRC. Uganda’s support for the plight of the Palestinian people has been expressed through Uganda ‘s voting pattern at the United Nations.

Chatham House is one of the most prestigious international relations think tanks so when its director @bronwenmaddox gives her annual lecture, it is an occasion.
Last night she said “Israel has always had objectives that are difficult to reconcile - one is getting hostages back and the other is the pursuit of Hamas. I am unconvinced, as are a lot of other people, that the technique they have chosen which is bombarding Gaza and flattening it, is going to achieve either of those things”.
She said “The US and Europe should make clear to Israel that while its wish to eradicate Hamas is justifiable, it is pursuing a military course unlikely to achieve that goal and the level of civilian casualties is intolerable. What is more it has fallen into a trap that Hamas has set by reacting in a way that loses the world’s support”.
She called for the West to do more to pursue Israel to accept a two state solution.

She added it was also legitimate to claim “western countries, above all the US, allowed the Israeli Palestinian conflict to fester and for Israel to abuse its power to expand its settlements on the West Bank in land earmarked for a future Palestinian state”.

She framed her criticism of the West’s stance towards Israel in a broader context of its mounting impact on the claims in the Global South that the West exhibits double standards.

She said “The consent of many countries for supporting the old order is unravelling and that is partly because of the accusation from many countries that those that wrote the rules 70 years ago wrote them in their own favour and respect them only when it suits them”.

Although she said this accusation is not novel, “it needs to be answered if support for international law and institutions is to continue”.

She said “There are not many countries that initially denied Israel a right to respond to the deliberate slaughter by Hamas on October 7, but Israel's bombardment and constraint on humanitarian aid has lost it much of the world support, and there is cause for that.

“It is entirely possible to condemn Hamas and now to criticise Israel for its response and for the casualties that it has caused. Even in the US and the UK some of Israel’s warmest supporters have begun to say so”.

She said the "white hot" criticism of the West for months has been that “it cares about Ukrainian suffering and not Palestinian, that it defends international law in Ukraine, but not the West Bank and Gaza or Iraq. If countries that support Ukraine and are working for peace in the middle east do not realise how powerful this charge has become, or answer it, they will fail to help solve either conflict or other such as in Sudan”.

She added "they will also fail to understand how this charge is a challenge to the waning respect for the old principles of world order and the contest that is going on about new ones".

Kudos to her for addressing head-on the difficult accusations of western double standards. Right to say western countries have national interests so degree of inconsistency inevitable, but West has left its principles open to being weaponised by luminous hypocrites such as Russia. She said unsure either UK front bench prepared to voice the concerns of Britain's younger generation about UK foreign policy
