The Israeli fascist politician Smotrich openly said it's moral to let 2,000,000 people starve to death in Gaza.
Stop being in denial of what we are dealing with here. This is a genocidal fascist regime that is comfortable throwing around Holocaust-level numbers of dead civilians.

Israel killed two journalists in Gaza today, bringing the number of murdered journalists to 165. Ismail Al Ghoul and Rami Al Rifi were both targeted.
Ismail worked for Al Jazeera. There is very gruesome footage of his headless corpse in the driver seat of his blown up car.
Nearly 10 months of genocide.

Instead of yelling try and sit with this for a sec: what could Israel-Palestine have been like if Bush had just responded to a letter?
In 2006, Haniyeh offered Israel a compromise that’s just the internationally recognised consensus, the 2 state solution. Again, 2006.
What happened instead if the blockade of Gaza, half a dozen wars, and now a genocide. Two million civilians punished just bcs the Americans are moral monsters.

This is not an exception to the rule. This is a common attitude among many Zionists who do genuinely believe that the Jews murdered in the Holocaust were weak, ‘like sheep to the slaughter.’ They routinely erase Jewish resistance fighters against the Nazis including the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. They hate the Jewish Labor Bund as mich as they hate Palestinians.

In addition to bombing Beirut and conducting a raid in Tehran, the Israelis have also killed four members of the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah group last night near Baghdad as well.

If the only thing you care about is the Israeli hostages please understand that Netanyahu wants them killed, or is at least indifferent if they live or die. You have you understand this. Every avenue to release them he has brutally shut them down.

2024-07-31 05:19:07

The Israelis assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ political leader, in Tehran. It was a raid which means they were physically there.
Haniyeh wasn’t involved in October 7. He was involved n in negotiations though, and Israel just killed him. This is a significant escalation. They have absolutely no interest in international law.
Unless their allies rein them in I fear for a regional war, even if Netanyahu is removed.

The horrors unleashed by Israel are not our own alone. The complicity of Western nations is so thorough that it will have repercussions for years to come on how any genocide is discussed.
We now live in a world where a people that survived genocide in the 1940s chose to commit a genocide less than a century later. And I’m not sure we are ready as a species for what this means for us all.

It can no longer be concluded that the Nazis definitely lost WWII. The desire for genocide remained strong long afterwards. Today it is their grandkids, the Germans, most enthusiastically cheering on the genocide of children by the world’s only self-declared “Jewish state”.

When the West is done slaughtering our kids y’all will have to wake up in a world where the world’s greatest horror, the Holocaust, was used to justify a genocide of children. Nothing will be the same anymore, for you either. Never Again has been proven to be a lie beyond any doubt.

The obscenity continues:
Six spectators charged for "disrupting" Netanyahu speech -- "All the guests who were arrested are family members of hostages who are either currently held by Hamas or died in captivity."
The US Congress allowed Netanyahu to lie about caring for the hostages which he abandoned in Gaza. It’s the families that get arrested instead of the guy committing genocide.

Zionists soon learned not to hate the Germans as much anymore as they focused their anger on the indigenous Arabs instead. That’s why Netanyahu once claimed that Hitler didn’t really want to kill the Jews and that it was the Palestinian Mufti who convinced him to do so. That’s also Holocaust denial, but it’s fine coz an Israeli is doing it.

This is not very well-known but imp. to understand: from the 1950s onwards Zionism came to increasingly define itself in contrast to the ‘weak Jew’ who died in the Holocaust. Zionists erased Jewish resistance fighters to claim that only Israeli Jews are capable of defending Jews. The diaspora Jew became emasculated, weak, like sheep in contest with the strong militarised ‘Sabra’ Jew who can protect himself. It’s a form of Holocaust denial as it erases Jewish agency in WWII.

If those soldiers were Muslims you’d be calling them Jihadi extremists. But they’re Jews and members of a Western-backed army so all’s well. He is just casually walking on the Gaza beach, boasting of raiding and bombing a resort and then walks around a corpse while citing the Bible.

You read that right, that is what he is saying. He will accept a ceasefire after the opponent he is fighting is completely destroyed.

How is it normal to use your own religious symbol as a tool of torture and humiliation? The answer is that the Star of David here is turned into a symbol of fascism, and anyone with any basic understanding of history should find this insulting and outrageous.
Note: this was *before* October. #Israel #Palestine

This is amazing: Lebanon backtracks from allowing the ICC to investigate crimes on its soil. Lebanon initially made the decision to allow the ICC to investigate Israeli crimes in Lebanon. My guess? Hezbollah freaked out by the ICC decision on Hamas leaders. Hezbollah is behind loads of assassinations of prominent anti-Assad figures in Lebanon, and I am guessing that this would have opened up for the ICC to investigate those.

It's been confirmed that the bombs dropped on #Rafah are made by #Boeing. Call me crazy but being an accessory in #genocide should destroy your entire business. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel

I said a week or so ago, but for those who don’t wanna take my word for it: here is the former Israeli Prime Minister, the former head of Shin Bet and a former head of the IDF all saying that Netanyahu boosted Hamas to prevent a two-state solution https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4XlHb1stgC/?igsh=MXR3M3gycG40MG54dw==

The Atlantic publishes an oped that literally includes the sentence “it is possible to legally kill children”
The NYT describes Israel violating the ICJ orders by literally copying official Israeli PR.
The BBC describes yesterday’s massacre in Rafah as ‘a violent incident’
The WSJ described that same massacre as ‘dozens killed and wounded after explosions’

Jesus Christ. “A Papua New Guinea government official has told the United Nations more than 2,000 people were believed to have been buried alive by Friday's landslide and has formally asked for international help.
The government figure is roughly triple the U.N. estimate of 670 killed by the landslide in the South Pacific island nation's mountainous interior. The remains of only six people had been recovered so far.”

I just can’t comprehend how one can look at footage of what #Israel just did in #Rafah #Gaza overnight and not conclude that there js something fundamentally broken about Israelis. And yes, there are obviously exceptions here, very noble ones. I’ve platformed a number of them on my podcast, but even they say that they are a rare voice, that most Jewish Israelis around them are either enthusiastic about the genocide or indifferent about its victims.

There must be a complete arms embargo on Israel immediately. Sanctions immediately. Cut off all diplomatic relations immediately.
Israel is responding to both ICJ and ICC news by intensifying it’s attacks on Gaza. They are turning Rafah into hell on Earth to punish civilians.

It is completely normal politics in #Israel today to be openly rejoicing the burning of #Gaza and its people.
Dozens of civilians are dead in the videos. We can see it all. Charred bodies of men and women, headless babies. The screams of Palestinians being burned alive. Israelis are watching these videos and celebrating.
They’re all available on Twitter. I won’t share them. #Palestine

#Israel bombed a displaced persons camp after designating it a humanitarian area in #Gaza. Reports of dozens of civilians killed.

So what do you call this level of hatred? This fanatical desire to annihilate an entire civilisation?

Netanyahu, Gantz, Biden and virtually all of Israel’s accomplices in this genocide are now launching a campaign against the International Criminal Court.
Also condemning this arrest warrant is Hamas. So congrats to the Biden admin on finding something in common with Hamas.

The Telegraph headline on Palestinian refugees is in essence identical to how rightwing British tabloids wrote about Jewish refugees when Britain denied them safe refuge during the Holocaust.
These institutions are dedicated to White supremacy at all costs. They view us as disposable nonhumans.
Any PoC and/or Jew who thinks these people are on their side is wrong. They may temporarily pretend to not hate Jews or Ukrainians or whoever but that’s all it is: temporary.
