Sure Bassem. I’ll help you understand. The U.S. and Israel are strategic political and military allies with shared values. Israeli tech and development advances US interests. US aid helps develop these life saving technologies (including iron dome). The US aid package to Israel

“No, I’m serious, this time it’s a totally valid reason to be hateful toward a group of Jews.”

Same vibe as people claiming the confederate flag is unrelated to slavery.

Spoke with a super-liberal, antireligious, gay Israeli friend today. Lived in America for a decade. Since 10/7 he’s lost most of his friends. His kids can’t go to the same pool, play with the same friends. Because their liberalism doesn’t extend to supporting Jews or Israelis,

Rules for discussing the conflict in the West.
1. talk as if 7 October never happened.
2. talk as if Hamas does not exist.
3. talk as if Iran does not exist.
4. talk as if Hezbollah does not exist.
5. talk as if the displaced Israelis from the south and the north do not exist.

Ultimately, what is unique about the Nakba is not 1948 but 1949.

The Israelis offered to accept back ~300,000 people conditioned on peace agreements with the Arab States. The US was willing to invest millions to build homes for 200,000 people in the Jordan Valley. And for

People talk about the Nakba as if population displacement as a result of a war was unheard of in history until 1948

This is like the “40 babies weren’t beheaded” thing, to fixate on a very specific statement to try to undermine belief in the broader truth of the Oct 7 massacre. In this case, Hamas executes gay people. Arguing about the method is a waste of everyone’s time.

To all the lovely folks who feel I've been a tad too vocal about Israel and the whole antisemitism thing lately, thank you ever so much for noticing. And just to clarify, nope, I don't plan on toning it down anytime soon.

IT GETS WORSE: Muslim madrassa operated by Imam Dentist advocating violence against Jews gets $500K FL tax $$ to 'educate' children. Rep. Randy Fine calls on Florida Department of Education to cut taxpayer funds immediately. MEMRI Shirion Collective StopAntisemitism

🚨BREAKING: A new report published by the Network Contagion Research Institute found that the anti-Israel protest movement – which has been blocking/occupying public spaces since October 2023 – is linked to the Chinese government and aims to exacerbate societal tensions and destabilize American institutions

Constantin Zureiq, the Palestinian intellectual who coined the term 'Nakba' (disaster), described it as 'Seven Arab states declare war in an attempt to subdue Zionism, stop impotent before it, and return on their heels'. The Nakba was understood to be the shameful failure to

Interesting commentary in the interview of this article. The Christiane Amanpour guest acknowledges up to 20,000 civilians killed in the 2016-2017 Battle of Mosul, a single battle against a ISIS force of 3-5k & then says Israel has killed more although there have been many city battles in

Because the evidence of how Hamas acquired more arms per capita than most countries might be revealed? I mean how did Hamas stockpile more weapons than most small countries when it was supposedly under “blockade”? Most small countries aren’t under blockade and can’t afford or

Truly

1. Food is enetering Gaza now than before Oct 7
2. According to World food program calculations enough food has entered Gaza since Oct 7 to feed the entire population for a whole year.

So IF there is staration in Gaza.
Why?

Where is the food?

Turkey systematically massacred more than one million Armenians—a true genocide.

Turkey should really sit this one out.

Day 9. Thanks LAY'S for sponsoring our hunger strike!

The Israeli Police says there have been multiple arrests and an investigation is ongoing. I wish those (rightly) infuriated by this showed a fraction of that concern about Egypt blocking aid from entering Rafah or reaching Kerem Shalom, or Hamas looting trucks inside Gaza.

I love how they declare this without any explanation. Truly requires a massive leap of logic to arrive at this conclusion.

Is the point that every social issue is intertwined with every other social issue? Or is there just something magical about the Palestine issue?
