This is why Israel First lobby is so invested in using anti semitism smears. They have enabled one of the most egregious crimes in human history.
But power is temporary. Nazis said they would rule for 1000 years but the world united to finish them off within 12.
"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.”

It was one of Alexander’s officers who noted the great wealth of the people of Gaza, and how they had become rich by acting as the middlemen between the Nabatean Arabs of the desert and the importers of incense in Greece and the rest of Europe.
An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
A professor in the U.S. was suspended for mentioning Palestinians, just days after Hasan Piker was barred from the UK for condemning a genocide.
Your rights are being stripped away in service of Israel’s impunity.
The earlier Killing fields in the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula:
1. New details from soldiers' testimonies on Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in the 1967 war: massacring civilians, killing children, executing prisoners, displacing civilians, and looting.
CORRECTION: Israel plans major settlement push across occupied West Bank https://t.co/1MGC3gNXdo
We will delete a post that referenced Israel’s latest settlement push as being seen by many as illegal; Israel’s settlements in the occupied West Bank are deemed illegal under international law
Today is Naksa Day.
It commemorates Israel's expulsion of 300,000 Palestinians & 130,000 Syrians from their homes in 1967.
This is a brief history of Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of the Palestinians and Syrians in 1967, my latest: https://t.co/T98GYaJlAZ
Banned for Insufficient Support of the... Genocide (!).
Hasan Piker was recently banned from entering the UK. Two years ago I was banned from entering Germany (even via... Zoom). Our crime? Yes, you guessed it: We refused to support the genocide - a heinous crime in today's deranged Europe.
This evening, at 2100CET (2000BST) Hasan and I will discuss our experiences on DiEM-tv LIVE, ably moderated by Mehran Khalili. Join us to ask questions and send us your missives. These are interesting times people!

A tenured professor of art therapy was suspended by her university and placed under formal investigation for the crime of using a Palestinian in a hypothetical example for uses of art therapy.
This is not 10th grade. It's a college, for adult students.

No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?
The logic of Israel is the logic of every empire:
The victim must disappear for the project to succeed.
But the victim refuses.
And in that refusal, the empire exposes itself as the one that cannot live without killing.
Israel is weaponizing mountains of garbage in Gaza against the population. The Israeli army is blocking access to Gaza's landfill & banning the entry of trucks or other heavy equipment to the enclave
This created a giant overpopulation of rodents, insects, scorpions & snakes, & rapid spread of diseases
UN says it'd take 180 days to clear out those piles if 50 trucks are used each day
Israeli general (res.) Giora Eiland has called for the deliberate weaponization of disease & starvation in the genocide
UN Special Rapporteur @profbensaul in 2024: "Germany & the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel. They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians"
BREAKING - A Swiss Tribunal recognises the legitimate right to peacefully oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
One again: justice for Palestine starts at home. It only takes people caring and applying Intl Law. And persevering.
