Unbelievable

L: UNESCO chief @AAzoulay condemns killing of “journalist Mohammed Abu Armana.”

R: Hamas posts Mujahid Martyr video of “Platoon Commander” Mohammed Abu Armana. “If you are watching this, it means I passed into the mercy of Allah. To the al-Qassam Brigades: By Allah, we will not betray this blood.”

Никогда такого не было, и вот опять

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

🚨Major admission by @pressfreedom. CPJ is finally conducting a full review of its Gaza “journalist” fatality database after Hamas & PIJ themselves exposed many listed “journalists” as their own fighters. Israel said this all along and Hamas/PIJ's own martyr notices proved it.

[Jane @JaneThoughtful]

True. Gonna do anything about it, then?

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Italy's Prime Minister Meloni on Iran:

We cannot allow the Ayatollah regime to acquire nuclear weapons or nuclear warheads, especially given that it already possesses - and has clearly demonstrated that it possesses -- long-range missiles.

And I'm not talking only about the United States, or countries closer to Iran's borders, or Israel.

We cannot allow it. We cannot afford it.

[Adam Sellers @YisraelChaiAdam]

If you want to know how fucked the UN is. This is their Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict retweeting this garbage slop from a Holocaust denier.

What ceasefire? Have I missed a ceasefire? There hasn't been a single day without Hezbollah shooting rockets at Israel

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I strongly condemn today's Israeli strikes on Beirut. The strikes took place despite the ceasefire & at a time when the US & Iran are expected to reach an agreement that will pave the way to a peaceful resolution of this conflict.

This conflict is having a devastating impact on the world's economy.

I urge all parties to show maximum restraint at this crucial moment & I strongly hope for a successful outcome of the ongoing efforts by the US & Iran.

How come these 30 orgs managed to meet the unreasonable requirements? What's the secret of their magic?

[Jane @JaneThoughtful]

According to Denmark it's unreasonable to ask for humanitarian aid organisations to not employ terrorists or supply terrorists with materials. The standards are indeed unachievably high

FM @larsloekke: “Completely unacceptable that Israeli Supreme Court maintains unreasonable registration requirements for humanitarian aid organizations. This hinders efforts to deliver life-saving aid to address catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”

“I do know very well what is antisemitism. It's broader than hate against Jews. It's hate and discriminations against Semite people, including Arab people. Antisemitism is very real against Jewish people and against Arab people.”

10) The document goes into an screed about Netanyahu comments about Amalek.

In his "Amalek" speech Netanyahu explicitly referred to avoiding harming "non combatants" & called on the "civilian population" to evacuate to the South of Gaza.

By "Amalek", he was referring to Hamas.

6) "Islamophobia is a modern type of antisemitism" leaking into the whole *who are the REAL Semites anyway* narrative so popular among anti-Zionists.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.

He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.

This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.

[Jeffrey Sachs @JeffreyASachs]

lol

[Western Hegemony Enjoyer @CitedNeed]

A terrorist decided to firebomb Jews who were calling for the release fo civilian hostages, and in the process he burned a Holocaust survivor alive. SJP is celebrating him as a hero.

That's the antizionist movement in a nutshell.

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

This can't be right, I was told ad nauseum just how much Ireland deeply, deeply cares about international law.

😂🤦‍♂️ Oddly Enough, the website of this “boycott Israeli goods” campaign, is built entirely on Elementor - Israeli technology developed by an Israeli company in Israel 🇮🇱.

This! But also, if you read any actual debates between the two groups of the time, it was much more nuanced than anything pseudo-Bundist can conjure up as an argument today. Today, they're incredibly boring and just reduce the Bund into a set of superficial acts to perform

[Matthew @Lux1090]

The attempt to revive the Bundism vs Zionism debate is frankly really bizarre. One of the main reasons why the Bundism vs Zionism debate ended in the 20th century is because the leaders of various European countries, from Antonescu to Hitler, killed pretty much all the Jewish Bundists, and the Zionists more or less survived it, and the Jews who survived the Holocaust all became Zionists, i.e. committed to the creation and maintenance of a Jewish state.

The Bundists and Zionists placed different bets on how the 20th century would play out for European Jews.

The Bundists bet that Europe would not become existentially inhospitable to Jewish life, and that instead European Jews could remain valued and safe members of European societies, especially by falling in with the prevailing trends of socialism and secularism, and that building a distinct Jewish collective identity in Europe would be compatible with all these changes. Fundamentally the bet was that European modernity would not prove incompatible with organised Jewish social and religious life.

The Zionist bet (which you can read in Herzl's Die Judenstaat and in his published diaries) was that industrialisation, European nationalism and mass society would lead to the destruction of European Jewish life, and that the only option was to try and escape while there was still time, and create a state of their own where they could defend themselves.

Herzl wrote in Die Judenstaat in 1896, "I cannot imagine what appearance and form this will take. Will it be expropriation by some revolutionary force from below? Will it be proscription by some reactionary force from above? Will they banish us? Will they kill us? I expect all these forms and others."

By 1945, as a rule of thumb, Europe's Jews either spoke English (i.e. lived in the United States, Britain, or the Anglophone world) or they were Hebrew- and Yiddish-speaking Zionists in Israel (or Mandatory Palestine at the time).* Europe pretty much killed off all the rest.

It's helpful to remember that what the Jews call the 'Righteous Among the Nations', i.e. those who risked their lives to save Jews from the continent-wide Holocaust, are notable in part because they were so few in number.

That's why the debate over Bundism ended after the War: both groups placed their bets on what the 20th century would mean for European Jews, and it turned out that the Zionists were right and the Bundists were wrong, and the consequence is that the former survived and the latter mostly died. It was a very high-stakes and tragic bet!

* The one exception to this are French Jews, but as usual it is the exception which proves the rule. About a third of French Jews are the descendents of the Jews of Algeria who had been there for over a thousand years, but fled to France when France ended its colonial rule over Algeria, since to remain behind under Arab rule would mean almost-certain death.

[Dan 🇮🇪 ✡️ @danielthemate]

They do it because their friends describe zionists as evil caricatures, they obviously don't see themselves as those caricatures so therefore they can't be ‘zionist’. The 2SS was always a ‘zionist’ position ever since the early days.

This can and very well might get used to throw them under the bus if the antizionists get their way, just like they did in the soviet union not that long ago. Jews who felt assimilated, described themselves as antizionist, and were even used to show they weren't Antisemitic, just antizionist, and made to join a committee to publicly denounce Israel.

At the end of the day, it never mattered. They were purged from many jobs and university places. When they were allowed to finally leave, millions of Jews fled.

People think all of this is novel. It is not.

[Jane @JaneThoughtful]

The Bund is pretty much what you would find in a dictionary under "Epic Failure", and still there're some who can't let it rest in peace (along with all the murdered Bundists)

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Jews in the diaspora who want to celebrate their heritage without tying themselves to Israel might look to the Bundist concept of “hereness”, which a new book by Molly Crabapple celebrates https://t.co/TcrH3lg9zX

I've set myself on a mission to prove the Pro-Palestinian arguments that I saw, and in the end only managed to find the proof to the contrary. Most of it is just hypocritical nonsense and double standards, and most of the history is reversed-engineered

[Sarah @Sarahjdublin]

The more Palestinian history you read the more pro Palestinian you become
