Chris was arrested today for supporting a terrorist organisation.
A quick thread >
@RadioGenoa He’s the chair of a trust that oversees 32 schools and was recognised in the honours list for services to education TEN YEARS AGO. I think he’s probably qualified for the job don’t you?
“Israel wants to get rid of the Palestinians politically and if necessary physically, because the Palestinians are a continuous reminder of Israel’s original sin.
“They are the reminders that their land was already inhabited.”
—UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese
The monstrosity of our time.
We know and pretend not to know.
We give it other names, we make up excuses.
Israel is erasing Palestinians from Palestine - starving, torturing to death, pulverising homes, schools, churches, trees, human bodies, burning them in tents - and we call is "self-defense".
Israel's self-defense is the defense of ideological hatred turned political doctrine. And genocide.
⚡️⭕️ Amsterdam Timeline :
1 - Israelis attack personal property
2- Israelis attack taxi drivers
3- Israelis chant "“Let the IDF win to Fuck the Arabs”
4- Israelis get beat up
5- Israelis start to market the story under the title "savage Islamic migrants attack peaceful Jews"
6- Israelis call it a pogrom against Jews
7- Israeli government and social media accounts exploit the event to the maximum to market / justify their genocidal war on Gaza and rally Europeans around their "cause" in "defending against terrorists"
Imagine Russian football fans in a foreign city:
- Interrupted a minute’s silence in memory of dead flood victims with chants in support of killing Ukrainian children
- Rampaged through the city
- Ripped down Ukrainian flags
- Chanted “death to Ukrainians”
- Attacked local residents
Imagine then, when local residents attacked them, they were presented as victims of a racist pogrom.
Mobs of Israelis marched through the streets of Amsterdam yesterday waving Israeli flags and chanting & singing racist, genocidal songs, vandalizing and ripping down Palestinian flags from homes, attacking a taxi driver and others. In some cases, Dutch police protected the mob while they sang racist songs. Then when local residents started to fight back, Israel and its proxies declared that the Israeli mobs were victims of antisemitism. The absurd Israeli script is nothing if not consistent.
The new Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch receives a glowing endorsement from Benjamin Netanyahu, who says "she will continue the great tradition of Israeli British partnership and friendship".
This is a headline from 10 years ago.
“UN condemns Israeli attack on sleeping children”.
Ten years ago, Israel slaughtered over 2,200 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 500 children.
10 years ago.
Don’t let Israel gaslight you into thinking this began on October 7th.
BREAKING :
The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.
EXTERMINATION.
Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
“Israel is responsible for extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war..”
—The UN Human Rights Council
Remember it was Israel who attacked the Iranian consulate in Syria, killing Iranian subjects, a direct violation of the Vienna Convention and the first direct confrontation between the two states in the current conflict. Where was your condemnation then?
Peace and security are what everyone in the region wants, but these aims can't be achieved by denying a sovereign state's right to self-defence when its diplomatic missions are bombed.
