@elonmusk And wtf would you know about civilisation?

[Paolo Mossetti @paolomossetti]

Israeli historian @bartov_omer speaking on prime-time TV in Italy:

“[Israel is] a country that is unwilling to face the truth, and that brings us to the issue of genocide... When genocide occurs, the entire society of the country perpetrating it becomes complicit in that genocide.

Therefore, we must ask ourselves: in the case of Israel, where there is a conscript army made up of the sons and daughters of most Israeli citizens, what does it mean for a country to be involved in these activities? It means that everyone becomes part of this event: those who carry it out, those who deny it, and those who do nothing to stop it...

In the case of Israel, this is a country going through a profound phase of denial...

When people say that criticism of Israel, criticism of Zionism, or even the rejection of Zionism is antisemitism, frankly, that is nonsense. It concerns the rejection of a specific ideology that is no longer sustainable.”

@Malcolm_Pal9 When Moses came down Mount Sinai with the tablets from G-d, he noticed something strange about his people. They all suddenly looked European.

@GwynethPaltrow @worldofwomennft @worldofwomenxyz My, what an inspiring woman you are, Gwyneth.

To those who support genocide, that is.

You’ve shown yourself to be an utter scumbag.

[DD Geopolitics @DD_Geopolitics]

Gwyneth Paltrow promotes $10M penthouses in Herzliya while Gaza burns and Lebanon bleeds.

While children are buried under rubble in Gaza, while Lebanese families flee Israeli airstrikes, while Gazans starve under total blockade, she is is fronting an ad campaign for "51 Park," a luxury apartment complex in Herzliya, Israel.

[Palestina En Español 🎒 @PalestinaVence]

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Gwyneth Paltrow recibe fuerte backlash

La actriz estadounidense promocionó lujosos penthouse de 10 millones de dólares en Israel mientras el régimen sionista comete genocidio en Gaza y masacra en Líbano.

La gente no lo toleró.

Mientras niños palestinos son asesinados, familias quemadas vivas y ciudades enteras destruidas, ella decide hacer negocios con el apartheid y promover propiedades en tierra robada.

Esto es lo que significa ser cómplice: priorizar dinero y fama por encima de la sangre de miles de inocentes.

Boicot total a Gwyneth Paltrow y a todo lo que promueva Israel.

[Peter Batt @peterbatt]

@MarkChangizi @mark_slapinski No, we hate Israel (not Jews) coz it has occupied Palestinian land for six decades, during which time it has systematically dispossessed, imprisoned, raped, tortured and murdered its people, leading to what is now a very obvious genocide.

So enough of the “Jew-hater” bollocks.

[Peter Batt @peterbatt]

#Israel claims to be occupying and stealing #Palestinian land, and murdering its people, on behalf of all Jews (it isn’t).

Israel is clearly responsible for increasing antisemitism.

Israel makes all Jews - and everyone else - less safe.

[Mark Slapinski @mark_slapinski]

I just received an angry letter from a Jewish person

He says that me drawing attention to Israel's use of white phosphorus on civilians is fueling anti-Semitism

I think he has this whole thing backwards

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Mehdi Hasan, "We have the Geneva Convention"

"We have International Humanitarian Law"

"We have the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court"

"We have these metrics that were built up over the years, by the UK and the US; they led the world in writing these documents, these conventions"

"The European Convention of Human Rights, which everyone on the British right wants to pull out of, it was written by British lawyers"

"Much of that architecture is now being burnt down to protect Netanyahu, it's kind of insane"

"When historians come back to write these history books, it will be amazing to see how these laws, these conventions, they survived genocides, they survived some of the worst post war era conflicts"

"But they couldn't survive Gaza"

[Peter Batt @peterbatt]

@nicolelampert @LordIanAustin Ian Austin supports Israel’s decades-long occupation, land theft, ethnic cleansing and, now, genocide. The man can’t be trusted. As ever, he’s debating in bad faith.

@american4sense @implausibleblog @ZackPolanski Another American right-winger spouting bollocks dressed as “common sense”.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Zack Polanski, “Secondly, I think it's undoubtedly true that the conversation around Israel is so obviously toxic"

"And I say that as a Jewish person, it is so vital, as you were saying, that we separate antisemitism from criticism of the Israeli government"

"Now, it won't surprise you to hear me say this, I imagine as a Jewish person, antisemitism exists in our society"

"It's a real problem in the same way that Islamophobia is a real problem and all forms of racism"

"And I would say, as workers, as socialists, as progressives, as people on the left, it's really important that we collectively show solidarity to racism in all of its forms"

"That is a different conversation from recognising that there has been an ongoing genocide in Palestine, but also in the West Bank, where the settlers are as well, that there's been an illegal occupation that has been going on for decades and decades now, for an entire generation"

"And from the absolute complicity, in fact, more than complicity, from the active enabling of the British government, who are still sharing arms or selling arms licences, sharing intelligence"

"And it is so important, I think it's really revealed the gap between where Westminster establishment politicians are and where the public are"

"Because I've been saying this for a while, and I hope people in the room would know I would say this even if it was an unpopular thing to say"

"But actually, we're in the place where public sentiment so strongly shows that people are undoubtedly and unsurprisingly concerned about an ongoing genocide, yet we still have establishment politicians continuing to support it"

"We've got Wes Streeting, who suddenly seems to have woken up and noticed what's going on just in time for a leadership election, talking about a genocide"

"And then we've got Andy Burnham, who says that he can't judge or make a comment on it"

"And that seems odd to me when we've seen four years now of horrendous and brutal and horrific livestreamed attacks on our TVs and our phone screens"

"And I think every single politician needs to recognise right now what's going on, to speak with clarity, to speak with transparency, and call out what's going on"

[Celtic Collectibles @CollectCelticFC]

When 4 Jewish Ambulances were burnt out. Starmer & every MP was all over the Media. Cobra Meetings called, visited site etc. Monies given to Jeiwsh Commuinty
Last night families were burnt out of their homes and attacked by racists. Where is the same response
😏

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

[Melanie Ward MP @melanie_ward]

Today at #PMQs I raised the 32 dodgy UK ‘charities’ who’ve sent almost £30m to illegal Israeli settlements.

Constituents will be appalled that they, the taxpayer, have likely subsidised this by over £5m.

Why is @ChtyCommission asleep at the wheel when their job is to stop this?
