Hi Jonah,

I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them too. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression.

Judaism existed for thousands of years before Apartheid Israel came into existence, and Judaism will exist for thousands of years after Apartheid Israel collapses.

That's because the ideology of Apartheid Israel is Zionism, an ideological movement that set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of overwhelmingly non-Jews. What could possibly go wrong?

A short summary: That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. https://t.co/HRdm0V6YDS and https://t.co/5et8PsWW0Y

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. https://t.co/oXfyJsXdja

That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmTfe

That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity https://t.co/s2RBvsdjMw

That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUk5lc

That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. https://t.co/aDxfsfnf9l

That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. https://t.co/16FarJ83q4

The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians. That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022)....

....Since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.

Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam ), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.

So, please don't conflate Judaism -- that has existed for thousands of years -- with your modern, fascist anti-Jewish political ideology founded on the principles of forcible displacement & genocide.

Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Israel is imploding in real time.

It's revealing that an attack on two men by a man with a mental health condition, instead of causing a debate about mental health provision, provokes an immediate political/media tsunami of demands for a crackdown on anti-genocide protests.
UK is having a mental breakdown.

And couldn’t the same be said about the principal bad faith actors who were at the forefront in helping to derail Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership with their plotting, bullying and smears? Ruth Smeeth (a mediocre MP at best but much else), Ian Austin (a disloyal thug), Woodcock, Jenny Chapman, John Mann, Tom Watson (a ‘lifelong professional wrecker’ according to the late Dawn Foster), Margaret Hodge (who has openly admitted to working every day to bring down Corbyn during his leadership). These gangsters were working against the interests of millions of hopeful Labour voters. And here they are - set up for life in the Lords. All just as bad as Mandelson and all representing everything that is rotten about the Labour right wing.

I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.

1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.

2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion

3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual

4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded

5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.

For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.

6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.

7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.

8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.

I hope you find this helpful.

Why on earth did these two very greedy war supporters join a socialist party if not to destroy it?

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

The overwhelming degree to which Israelis have supported the Gaza genocide should terrify us

No society since Nazi Germany has allowed itself to become so thoroughly poisoned by ethnonationalist venom

20,000 Palestinian children slaughtered, and their killers surge in the polls

[MikeD @mjdaly57]

The Labour Party concocted a pack of lies to expel Jeremy Corbyn from the party which he had served for forty one years as the MP for Islington North. Jeremy’s real failing was that he wasn’t as nasty, vindictive, insensitive and as truly f*cking awful as Andrew Gwynne, Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Mike Amesbury, Streeting, Nandy, Starmer and the rest of their rotten gang of bullies.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

For centuries: *Palestinian Arabs and Jews live together peacefully, respecting each other’s religions and cooperating; Jews account for 5-10% of the Palestinian population*

1914-1916: *Ottoman Empire collapses, Britain and France carve up Middle East, Britain occupies Palestine with absolutely no right to do so*

1917: *Balfour Declaration signed, promising Zionists a home in Palestine, also with no right to do so*

1919: *Zionists begin immigrating to Palestine in massive numbers to make Palestine “as Jewish as England is English” (Weizmann) — looking to replace the existing population with this <10% minority group*

1922 - 1935: *Immigration takes Jewish population in Palestine from 9% to almost 27%; Incoming Zionists rename towns and cities, ignoring existing practices and customs*

1936: *In an attempt to protect their homeland, Palestinian Arabs mount revolt against British and Zionist colonists; British violently suppress revolt, killing, injuring, imprisoning or deporting 10% of Palestinian males by 1939*

1944 - 1946: *Zionist colonists declare war on British colonists — eventually bombing King David Hotel in 1946 killing 91, including Jews, Arabs and Brits — as they wanted to take over Palestine faster than Brits would allow*

1947: *Brits hand over Palestine to the UN; due to relentless immigration, 1/3 of population are now Jewish, but only 6% of land is Jewish-owned, however the UN partitions the land giving Zionists 55% of the land including key Arab-populated areas*

1948: *Nakba happens: Zionists ethnically cleanse Palestinian Arab homes and lands by force*

For the next 77 years: *ethnic cleansing, apartheid, massacres, rapes, oppression of the worst kind against Palestinians*

Every day, right up to Oct 6th, 2023, where a 19-year-old was shot dead in the West Bank by a Zionist settler: *Palestinians endure kidnapping/rape/torture/murder/dehumanisation of the worst kind*

Oct 7th, 2023: *Hamas attacks Israel, taking hostages to trade for some of the thousands Israel holds*

Oct 8th - ongoing: *Israel unequivocally commits genocide on Palestinians, refusing to agree hostage release deal, creating the worst live-streamed collection of war crimes in the history of mankind*

[Gary Spedding @GarySpedding]

Brilliant from @johnmcdonnellMP who advocates the economic and military isolation of Israel to prevent war crimes and bring it to a negotiated settlement. He makes a really powerful point regarding @IsraelinUK Ambassador pointing out that @TzipiHotovely is an Israeli ambassador who is an advocate of a greater Israel, refuses to recognise the Palestinian state, defies all the UN resolutions that have been passed about how to secure peace and she still remains in this country - why aren't we expelling the Israeli ambassador?
