In 2006, Lorenzo Veracini published Israel and Settler Society, opening with a striking claim: we must stop interpreting the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as a territorial or religious dispute and instead see it as a unilateral settler-colonial situation. Veracini leaned heavily on the 2001 Durban conference at the United Nations—an event that reintroduced Soviet antizionist tropes of “Zionism is racism” into the global left after the relative hiatus of the Oslo years. The very need for Veracini to argue the claim so explicitly shows that, even then, the settler-colonial framing was not mainstream.
The Journal of Genocide Research became the institutional hub of this ideological convergence, incubating a cohort of genocide-libel theorists—Martin Shaw, Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Amos Goldberg, Dirk Moses, and others—who would rise to prominence after October 7, often citing or collaborating with U.N official Francesca Albanese, whose work represents the full application of this logic within the U.N.’s institutionalized system of antizionist racism.
Reminder:
COGAT approved 100,000 pallet requests submitted by organizations, of winter-related items, shelter equipment, and sanitation supplies.
All routes and crossings are open and available. These supplies are ready and waiting for weeks for immediate coordination by the relevant organizations so they can enter Gaza.
Funny story: a Jewish woman made a massive endowment to U of Washington to create a chair for Jewish studies. And, sure enough, the professor they hired turned out to hate Israel, etc.
To their credit, UW offered to refund her the money once they confirmed there was no way to remove the newly chaired professor.
That money, once refunded, wound up becoming a sizable donation to @StandWithUs, an amazing organization dedicated to dialog and the truth about Israel.
Nasty antizionist students at an @nusuk event walked out when the leadership said the Union was neither Zionist nor antizionist. It’s never enough for them. Appeasement doesn’t work with hateful extremists. Let them walk and never come back.
@CREEDLOGAN19@EinatWilf Snopes sources this to a 2020 Al-Jazeera propaganda video. The video does not claim the current residents are from Brooklyn and indicates that the older couple had only lived in a former house on that site, not that they had owned it.
Most Arabs were tenants.
@EinatWilf Kligler translated instructions into Arabic and his team went village to village to eradicate malaria from Arab towns. 1925 League of Nations report commended them as "benefactors not only to the Palestinian population but to the world as a whole."

@EinatWilf@IraKalika That was Arab reaction to the Nov. 29, 1947 UNGA vote to partitionPalestine into Arab and Jewish states. Thick lines are the borders. Essentially the former malaria stricken land plus the Negev stone desert. Arab reaction? Read here. Threat of Mongolian massacre.
Re-posting my Nov 29 discussion on the connection between Zionist eradication of malaria and the UN Partition proposal map. It's a great visual to demonstrate the obsession of Palestinianism - prioritizing the Jews having nothing, over attaining something for the Arabs.
Still.
Beinart and his antizionist cohort have constructed an entire political vision on the negation of the very principles they insist define them. They ask the Jews to surrender their right to self-determination in favor of a single state that will, by every historical and sociological measure, become a Muslim-majority polity—and if that polity drifts, as all available evidence suggests it will, toward Islamic governance rather than liberal democracy, then this is simply the price of their theory. The liberal conscience, it turns out, can tolerate quite a lot of illiberalism when the subject is Palestine. Women’s rights, the rights of religious and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ rights—all of it becomes negotiable, dispensable, sacrificed on the altar of a grand symbol. “Palestine,” in this worldview, is the supreme moral abstraction, and everything else can be quietly escorted offstage in the name of the cause.
Jewish organizations continue to underestimate the scale and coherence of the antizionist hate movement—and continue to refuse to name it. But unless we build a contemporary, attuned, and targeted campaign against antizionism now, the consequences will be severe. We are dealing with a serious, organized, and increasingly emboldened fascist formation.
It is understandable that many remain frozen by the trauma of October 7th and by the collapsing usefulness of the post-Holocaust antisemitism paradigm—the belief that the memory of the Shoah would offer permanent moral protection. But that paradigm has broken down. It no longer describes the reality we are living.
Legacy organizations need to listen to younger Jews who actually know left-academic and activist spaces—Jews who have neither been captured by antizionism nor silenced by demoralization. They understand the ideological terrain, the institutional capture, and the speed with which this movement spreads.
We have no time to lose. The failure to name antizionism as such is no longer a strategic miscalculation; it is a dereliction of responsibility. Only by confronting it directly, as a contemporary and systemic form of anti-Jewish hate, can we act before the window for effective response closes.
STOP comparing Afghan women in burqas with Christian nuns.
1- Nuns do not get beaten, jailed, or killed if they remove their veil.
2-Their commitment applies only to themselves not to every woman in the country.
3-In Iran and Afghanistan, it doesn’t matter if you’re Muslim or not, believer or atheist, you must wear Islamic hijab or face violence.
4-And guess what? In Christianity the men take the vows too.
So how about you try the Taliban model you’re defending, cover your face, shut your mouth, obey or get beaten?
Let’s see how long you still call it a “choice .”
📢UPDATE: Another field hospital established in the Gaza Strip and began operating.
As part of the ceasefire agreement and our continued commitment to facilitating a humanitarian-medical response, and in close coordination with the International Medical Corps (IMC), we facilitated IMC’s establishment of a field hospital in the Gaza Strip. The facility is designed to expand essential medical services in areas of prenatal care, mental Health, Physiotherapy, and Inpatient Caref or the civilian population.
The new field hospital includes:
• 150 beds
• 200 medical and support staff and has already been treating over 1,000 patients a day.
This is the 15th field hospital to be established in coordination with the international community since the start of the war.
COGAT continues to work with international partners to facilitate vital humanitarian responses.
👈 IDF soldiers killing a wanted known terrorist after he attempted to evade arrest
👉 Hamas terrorists execute blindfolded and tied civilians
Any questions?
Just a quick reminder: There are an estimated 1,000 kilometers, more than 600 miles, of tunnels in Gaza. At a normal pace, it would take about 50 days to walk that distance if you walked 20 kilometers, or about 12 miles, each day without stopping.
The IDF has been working for two years to locate, map, and destroy the tunnels, and current estimates suggest they have mapped most of the network, though not all of it, and destroyed about 20 percent. Yes, that includes hundreds of miles of tunnels that remain in the 53 percent of Gaza under Israeli control east of the yellow line.
The work required to eliminate the Gaza metro is massive, but it has to be done, area by area. Any tunnel network left intact, regardless of Hamas, would make stabilizing any part of Gaza a nearly impossible task.
The ceasefire was supposed to bring the hostages home. Instead, Hamas has spaced out the return of bodies for weeks, including one more than six weeks late. But the media keeps focusing on Israel’s responses, not Hamas’ violations. No wonder people are confused.
The antizionist hate movement has significantly escalated in the past few weeks, following the Security Council’s resolution on implementing Trump’s Gaza peace plan and the continued presence of Israeli troops in Gaza. It appears they received coordinated cues to do so—precisely to block normalization and any movement toward peace.
In lockstep, @amnesty International released a report alleging “ongoing genocide,” further discrediting this institutionally racist organization by applying the concept of genocide even to international arrangements aimed at securing peace, and revealing how they have culturally appropriated that concept from real genocide victims—Jews, Rwandans, Cambodians, and others—to wield it as a tool of colonial scapegoating and white-guilt prestige economics. In doing so, they ensure the genocide libel remains in constant circulation.
The antizionist movement is now openly committed to sabotaging any international resolution and any peace emerging on the ground. Its tactic is to flood the information sphere with antizionist libels, to keep “Gaza” as a permanent symbol of rage, and to stimulate ongoing hatred against Jews while manufacturing consent for anti-Israeli racist violence.
Antizionism is fundamentally anti-peace, anti-Palestinian, and anti-progressive. It is the fascist movement of our day.
