Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️ on X - "Today, Mehdi also made fun of Gad Saad for describing how he was nearly executed by Islamists. He's gone fully mask off, emboldened by El-Sayed's win. He thinks he can express how he thinks harassing women and Islamists oppressing others is funny, or preferable. For those who have not been paying attention, this is who he really is. The rest is a mask, a facade of progressivism he cultivated to make a living in the United States. Now that he thinks it is safe to show what he really thinks, he will."
The Left's demonisation of Israel ignores one key fact: the success of Arab-Israelis - "Whatever the extremists of Hamas intended to achieve through their attack on Israel, their actions appear to have strengthened the country’s core and brought out a collective national spirit that is difficult to describe. Yet it was tangible to me as I travelled through different parts of the country. Another glaringly obvious reality whenever I visit Israel is the complexity of daily life and the richness of the country’s social tapestry. Israel is undoubtedly a regional powerhouse, and a technologically advanced country whose people have been shaped by the belief that inaction can lead to death. From north to south, its demographics, landscape and climate change significantly, reflecting the wider complexity of the country itself. After attending a conference on contemporary anti-Semitism in Haifa, I was struck by something that the British Left rarely discusses: the changing nature of Arab-Israeli employment and the growing involvement of Arab citizens in key sectors of the Israeli economy. As I walked around the University of Haifa, I was particularly struck by the number of young Arab-Israeli women studying on campus and sitting in its halls. Many could have been Muslim or Christian, from families of Palestinian heritage and holding Israeli citizenship. I could hear Arabic being spoken all around me. Although I did not see a comparable number of young Arab-Israeli men, it was clear that Israel’s economic future will be heavily dependent on its Arab population – irrespective of what some far-Right Israeli politicians may think. The political Left often fails to consider these changing patterns within Israel. Much of this appears to be an organic shift taking place at grassroots level. Consider Israel’s healthcare system. Without Arab-Israelis, working as doctors, nurses, dentists and pharmacists, the country’s health service would be brought close to its knees. The statistics bear this out. Put simply, one in four doctors in Israel is Arab. Just over one in four dentists is Arab, as is just over one in four nurses. Some may argue that this broadly reflects the fact that Arabs constitute approximately 20 per cent of Israel’s population, yet these are highly specialised professions requiring years of education, training and accreditation. Moreover, Israel has suffered thousands of casualties as a result of the October 7 attack and the wars that followed. Many of those injured will have been treated by Arab doctors, nurses and pharmacists. Perhaps, the most striking statistic is that almost one in every two pharmacists in Israel is Arab. This demonstrates a powerful convergence of professional achievement, business acumen and resilience within Israel’s Arab communities. Arab representation within medicine has also risen sharply since 2010. At that time, Arabs constituted only 8 per cent of Israel’s doctors. By 2023, that figure had risen to 25 per cent, reflecting a socially and professionally mobile population whose members studied medicine in Israel or abroad before returning and putting their skills to use within the country... It is also increasingly clear that Arab-Israelis – and particularly Arab women – will exercise greater influence within Israel’s education sector over the coming years. Arab women are already making a substantial contribution to education, healthcare and welfare services. What my visits also tell me is that the blanket term used by some on the Left of “apartheid” in Israel against its Arab population simply does not stack up when compared to what happened in South Africa"
When terrorism supporters rant about "apartheid" they usually mean the measures taken to prevent Palestinians from murdering Israelis, so
Eylon Levy on X - "This sounds like a typical "Irish" joke, but it's true: The Irish Government bought a new €53m jet. And insisted on removing an Israeli-made navigational system. Now it can't land in the fog 🤣🤣🤣"
Haviv Rettig Gur on X - "This feels like a good moment to remember that Ireland got rich not by producing much or innovating anything, but mostly by becoming one of the world's biggest tax havens -- by enabling large companies from other nations to hide their tax revenues from their home nations. Apple, Microsoft and Google have routed many hundreds of billions of dollars through Ireland to shelter their profits. Israel, in contrast, got rich by innovating at a colossal scale. It spends 6% of its GDP on R&D, the highest of any nation on Earth. 10% of its workforce works in tech. That's why those same Apple, Microsoft and Google all built massive R&D centers in Israel, alongside 500 other multinationals. The defense tech is famous, but Israel is also a global powerhouse in water and agriculture. And it draws 10% of global deep-tech investment in medical devices and food R&D. So a tax-cheat nation that got rich by impoverishing others now refuses a safety system meant to land planes safely in the fog from a nation that actually produces new and useful things for the world. It's one thing not to buy arms, or to exact political costs for a war you hate. This isn't that. This is just sanctimonious narcissism. Take the fog safety system, you preening tax-cheats. We promise to look the other way."

The reality of the modern Democratic party. And terrorist supporters cheer this.

Paul Finlayson compared Hamas to Nazis and his life fell apart - "Douglas Murray from the UK continues to speak about rising antisemitism in the West without softening his words. Luai Ahmed from Yemen challenges antisemitism in the Arab world and supports Israel openly, knowing the personal cost to his friendships and family back home. Goldie Ghamari, an Iranian Canadian politician, has spoken forcefully in support of Israel and against antisemitism. She has received death threats. Then there is Paul Finlayson. “I said I stood with Israel, and I was called a criminal,” Paul says. Paul is an Ontario educator who taught business courses at Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber. His life changed after he made a statement that, in another time, might not have cost him everything. He compared Hamas to the Nazis. That comparison triggered a chain of events that he says he never saw coming. According to Paul, a colleague at the university, Wael Ramadan, took issue with his views and escalated the situation. Paul says Ramadan’s social media posts reflect hostility toward Jews and that he had proximity to decision-makers inside the institution. He sent me screenshots to support his claims. Paul also alleges that senior administrators were involved. He points to Melanie Spence-Ariemma, vice-provost at the University of Guelph-Humber, and says she played a central role in the process that led to his dismissal. “She was the claimant against me and the judge, jury and executioner,” says Paul... “Suddenly, a bunch of strangers that I never met decided that I was going to be fired. They never spoke to me. They never heard my side,” he says. He describes what he sees as a pattern at his college, something I’ve also heard from teachers working at elementary schools in Toronto. “Gag, banish, threaten, isolate, defame, shun, then deny process,” says Finlayson. Damaging claims spread about him to students and faculty before he could respond: “One day I was a prized lecturer, and people showed me kindness and warmth. The next day I became the devil himself. They went to war against me, seemingly out of pleasure. “The fact that the institution encouraged this is amazing. A political statement turned into something else entirely. They said I assaulted a student. They let that rumor run and never pulled it back. He went from making $300,000 a year to $24,000. “My income has been reduced by 90%. What does that do to someone? I loved my job. I never treated a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, or an atheist with any unkindness. I gave my heart to my job. I didn’t mess with management. I didn’t mess with the unions. I was regarded as the best professor in the department. And suddenly, a bunch of strangers, a VP in an astonishing act of cruelty, decides that I’m going to be fired because I’ve insulted Hamas."
We're still told that no one supports Hamas
Hamas’ October 7th Genocide: Legal Analysis and the Weaponisation of Reverse Accusations – A Study in Modern Genocide Recognition and Denial - "This article analyses the October 7th 2023 Hamas attack on Israel through the lens of the Genocide Convention, arguing that these actions constitute genocide under international law. Drawing on international case law, the analysis demonstrates how Hamas’ actions meet both the physical element and specific intent requirements for genocide, evidenced by its ideology, systematic policies and leadership statements. The article also examines how reverse accusations of genocide against Israel have functioned as a rhetorical shield to deflect recognition of Hamas’ own genocidal actions. It analyses the legal implications for state parties and the international community."
Terrorism supporters sometimes claim that genocide doesn't require the population to go down. But in that case, there's much more of a case that Hamas is guilty of genocide than Israel. Ironic.
Palestinian mothers spread the culture of martyrdom - "In an exclusive interview with qodsna reporter in Gaza, Palestinian women explained the role of Palestinian mothers in raising and educating the next generation and their active and significant role in creating the intifada and the continuation of the resistance. Despite the repressive policies of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories, Palestinian women and mothers have played an active role in the continuation of the struggle and uprising of the Palestinian nation for more than a century. They have been able to transfer the culture of resistance to new generations and contribute to the expansion of the culture of martyrdom. The Palestinian mother is the teacher of the generations who defended Palestine and still defend the country. Palestinian women emphasize that Palestinian mothers, even after the martyrdom of their children and during their funerals, convey their message to the Zionist enemy that the struggle with occupiers will be continue until their liberation. Nasreen Razi, the media spokesperson of the women's Al-Ahrar Palestine Movement, told Qodsna correspondent in Gaza that: "A Palestinian woman is a symbol of patience, endurance, forgiveness and steadfastness because she willingly sacrifices her husband and children for her religion and homeland."... Due to the existence of these mothers and existence of a fighting and trained generation of women who believe in the culture of martyrdom, the Zionist regime can be destroyed, and this destruction is imminent, the spokesperson added. Pointing to the mothers' message to the Zionist enemy, she said that one of the messages is that martyrdom does not scare Palestinians because martyrdom is the dream of every Palestinian. Mothers emphasize that the mother sacrifices her child in the defense of the homeland and does not prevent them from doing national duty. "Najjah al-Batniji", a member of the National Relations Committee of the Hamas movement, told qodsna that determining factors of individual behavior are both inherited and acquired abilities. Hereditary abilities are obtained from parents and acquired abilities are obtained from the environment Palestinian women are unique examples among women who believe in revolution and freedom. They cultivate respect and dignity in the hearts of their children. The Palestinian mother is sure that the only way to live with dignity is to resist and fight for freedom, Al-Bantiji added. She noted that the message of the Palestinian mother is that she will never back down and is ready to pay a high price for freedom and dignity, so raising a child who is a hero is better than living with humiliation... Palestinian mothers, who are mothers of martyrs, raise their grandchildren based on this culture of resistance and struggle, for this reason, the issue of family structure and its effects on children is important to continue the path."
Palestinians are truly terrible people, sacrificing their children just to try to defeat the Jews
Palestinian Scholar: We Must Take Palestine Back by Force - "Dr. Mahmoud Al-Shajrawi of the Palestine Scholars Association in the Diaspora... "Who says that the Palestinian people are tired [of making sacrifices]? Who says that Palestinian mothers, who still give birth to 5, 6, 10, and even 15 children... We have families with 10 and 15 children. These are normal numbers in Palestine. Who says that Palestinian mothers are not ready to sacrifice 1, 2, or 3 children as martyrs, and this would be considered zakat [mandatory charity] paid by the family, for the sake of fighting the Zionist and teaching it a lesson?""
A terrorism supporter called the previous article "a great summary of the racist propaganda that vile psychopaths guzzle down willingly". What a great summary of Palestinians and terrorism supporters!

Even Hamas doesn't bandy about the 700,000 number. Amazing.
Comment (elsewhere): "It's striking how many people's relationship to Palestine is religious, even those who would swear up and down that they don't have a theistic bone in their bodies. They say they don't believe in God, but they believe in Hamas, and they say they don't believe in the Devil, but to them, Israel is Satan. And they persecute critics of the global jihad ideology with the fervour of a clerical class empowered (and all-too-pleased) to enforce dogma and doctrine."

James Lindsay, anti-Communist on X - "There's a big point here that goes deep. Every totalitarian system destroys history (including historical art, heritage, temples, etc.). We've all heard Orwell on this: he who controls the past controls the future, or however it goes. Yes, that. But there's something else. Jews. If you were to summarize, perhaps incompletely, the Jewish faith, it is a faith of memory. Nearly all their holidays and rituals are about memory. Memory of who they are and what their covenant is. Who their God is and how they are related to Him. What the outcome of that faith has been sustaining them as a people and being as a light to the nations. Jews persist seemingly miraculously, impossibly, in part because they are people who keep their own sacred flame: the memory of who they are. There's deep strength and power here. So, maybe consider this, both sides of the lesson, as you can see them here in this grotesque little video."
Captain Allen on X - "On This Day — July 25, 2000
Yasser Arafat sent his wife & young daughter out of the country so he could launch a terror war without them in the way. The Camp David summit had just collapsed. Within hours, Arafat ordered the Palestinian security forces to prepare for violence. This was not a spontaneous uprising. It was not caused by Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount two months later. It was a premeditated decision to reject a historic offer of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and choose bloodshed instead. His own widow later admitted it on camera: “He said, ‘You have to leave Palestine because I want to carry out an intifada and I’m not prepared to shield myself behind my wife and little girl.’ … He had already decided to carry out an Intifada after the Oslo Accords and after the failure of Camp David.” The handwriting had been visible for months. In April 2000 ,Arafat told Fatah youth he would “launch a new intifada.” Marwan Barghouti said final-status issues could only be settled by “force of arms.” Two weeks before Camp David, Arafat told Fatah leaders in Nablus they were ready to “erase everything and start everything afresh.” What followed was one of the bloodiest periods in Israel’s modern history. More than 1,000 Israelis were murdered by 2005 in suicide bombings on buses, in restaurants, and at a Passover Seder. The goal was never a state living side by side with Israel. It was a war to replace Israel. Revisionists still insist there is “not even an iota of evidence” that Arafat planned the Second Intifada. His own wife’s words destroy that lie. He chose war. The blood is on his hands."

The perversion of ‘Zionism’ - "During the rest of the 20th century, Zionism could mean one of at least five things: first, the right of self-determination of the Jewish people; second, the desire of Jews to live in their ancestral land; third, the establishment of the state of Israel as it was originally constituted; fourth, the territorial expansion of that state; and fifth, simply the survival of the state of Israel into the future. Many modern critics of Zionism conflate all five meanings, or at least refuse to specify which they intend. Those who use Zionism in the last sense, to be clear, think that the state of Israel should literally not exist in 2026: that is, that a country founded 78 years ago, under the legal auspices of the UN, must now be somehow dissolved or dismantled. How this is to be done without enormous violence is left as an exercise to the reader. The enemies of Israel deployed the rhetoric of Zionism pejoratively in all these ways throughout the 20th century. At the heart of this effort was the Soviet Union, which infused anti-Israel propaganda with Nazi ideas about Jews. Izabella Tabarovsky, the scholar of Soviet anti-Zionism, has pointed out that “many of the core tropes that animate the anti-Zionist Left today are carbon copies of ideas that the KGB and the Department of Propaganda’s ideologues developed, weaponised, and popularised with particular intensity in the wake of the Six-Day War” in 1967... In the early 1980s, a Soviet propaganda unit called The Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public promoted the idea, according to historian Theodore H Friedgut, that “the state of Israel served as the striking force of American imperialism in the Middle East, using Nazi-like methods to accomplish its goals”... In 2011, Hamas reacted with alarm to a proposal to teach Palestinian children about the Holocaust, saying: “Holocaust studies in refugee camps is a contemptible plot and serves the Zionist entity with a goal of creating a reality and telling stories in order to justify acts of slaughter against the Palestinian people.” In the same year, another Hamas official wrote: “The lie of the Zionist Holocaust crumbles with countless holocausts committed by the Zionists in Beit Hanoun, al-Fakhoura school and other places in Palestine.” Hamas’s 1988 charter names “Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, espionage groups and others” as examples of “Zionist organisations”, taking the anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, published in Russia in 1903, as Gospel... In 2013, Corbyn said that a group of British Zionists, regrettably, “did not understand English irony”. By this time, in the Labour Party and elsewhere, the term Zionist was now often being used as simple code for “Jew”. This was more blatant in the abusive shortening “Zio” – which, oddly, Leftists had eagerly adopted from David Duke, the leader of the Ku Klux Klan, who popularised the slur throughout the 2010s with his radio rants about “Zio-Communism”, “Zio-economics”, “Zio-history”, “Zio-supremacism”, and “Zio-occupied America”. After the Sandy Hook school massacre in 2012, Duke said: “The real murderers are not the bullets, but the Bullies of the Zio Media.” (Perhaps not coincidentally, there has been a marked increase, on X and YouTube podcasts, in outright Holocaust denial since the start of the war in Gaza.) Last year, an undergraduate at the University of Oxford was arrested and charged with stirring up racial hatred after he chanted “put the Zios in the ground” at a pro-Palestinian march (he denies the allegation)... “I have heard testimony and heard for myself first-hand,” she wrote, “the way in which the word ‘Zionist’ has been used personally, abusively or as a euphemism for ‘Jew’, even in relation to some people with no stated position or even a critical position on the historic formation or development of modern Israel"... a 2022 academic study, “Platformed antisemitism on Twitter: Anti-Jewish rhetoric in political discourse surrounding the 2018 US midterm election”, found that, in nearly 50 per cent of its uses on the site, the word Zionist was clearly being deployed as an anti-Semitic slur. The fact that such abusive language on the Left predates by many years the Gaza conflict that began in 2023 gives the lie to any claim that it is just a regrettable excess of emotion in the face of a brutal war, an understandable overflow of sympathy for innocent victims. On the contrary, the Gaza war just made such language more publicly acceptable... one candidate for Newcastle city council posted to social media her hope that “every single Zionist” be killed... people who deploy the term “Zionist” are often no clearer about what exactly they mean by it in any given instance; and nor are their audiences. According to research conducted by the political scientist Mira Sucharov in 2022, 72 per cent of American Jews consider themselves Zionist if the term is defined as “a belief in a Jewish and democratic state”, but only 10 per cent agree if the word means “the belief in privileging Jewish rights over non-Jewish rights in Israel” – the definition, she explained, that “comes to the minds of most anti-Zionists”... the Israeli writer Jonathan Shamir argued that, because it is so “ambiguous and varied in its meaning”, the term “Zionism” routinely “stifles any productive conversation” – not least because, as he pointed out, a lot of Israelis who identify as Zionists are on the peacenik Left. “For so many, identification as a Zionist is a red line: the person in question is immediately considered racist,” he observed. “Yet so many of these so-called Zionists are at the forefront of the fight for justice for Palestinians."... It’s difficult not to agree, then, that “Zionism” and “Zionist” are by now well past their political sell-by date as terms of rational discussion"
Weird. We keep being told that anti-Zionism has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Why then would Hamas oppose teaching Palestinian children about the Holocaust?

Everything about Palestine is a lie so it's not surprising terrorism supporters can openly contradict themselves and see no problem.
Rawan Osman روان عثمان on X - "Mustafa commented under one of my videos and challenged me: “How do you explain this?” So here it is. This coin is from 1927, issued under the British Mandate’s currency order. It carries “Palestine” in three languages: Palestine in English, Falastin (فلسطين) in Arabic, and Palestina (פלשתינה) in Hebrew. Next to the Hebrew, in parentheses, are two Hebrew letters — Aleph, א & Yod, י, — an abbreviation for Eretz Yisrael (ארץ ישראל), “the Land of Israel.” Jews under the Mandate refused to let “Palestina” stand alone; they insisted on marking their historical name for the land alongside it. As for “Free Palestine”, this slogan wasn’t invented by today’s activists. Decades before Israel existed, the Zionist Organization of America used “Help Free Palestine” on its own fundraising material, calling for the land to be freed from foreign rule so a Jewish state could be established there. And it wasn’t just a slogan. Jews living under the Mandate carried Palestinian passports. They were, legally, Palestinians. So when the Mandate ended and Israel was declared in 1948, that liberation the slogan called for actually happened for the people who’d been using the word “Palestine” and “Palestinian” all along. Many of the era’s Jewish/Zionist institutions carried the name proudly too: Palestine Airways, the Palestine Post, the Palestine Electric Corporation, the Palestine Symphony Orchestra (today’s Israel Philharmonic). 76 years on, the tragedy is that this reality still isn’t accepted. Instead of building on what exists, generations have been spent trying to undo 1948 rather than move past it and the toll of that refusal falls hardest on Arab Palestinian children and youth, who deserve leaders focused on building rather than reversing history. Palestine, as it was understood by everyone living under the Mandate — Jew and Arab alike — was freed in 1948. History can’t be undone. The only way forward is accepting that, and building peace from where we actually stand. #freepalestine️ #Israel"
