Can I put this slightly differently? Hillary Clinton lost PA, WI, and MI by roughly 77,000 votes. She won my state, Colorado, by 100,000 votes. Why did the 77,000 votes from those states matter more than the 100,000 from my own????
your country is built on the bones of jews that it murdered and expelled. when you passed a "citizenship law" for sephardim to recover citizenship, your shit country stonewalled them every step of the way and then openly admitted it was only "a symbolic gesture"
basically the state of the discourse surrouding jews is that Jews are not actually Jews, simply European (sometimes Middle Eastern!) imposters who converted, but that historical Jews in Judea are not *actually* Jews either, rather Palestinians who simply happened to be Jewish

Owning a bar that is specifically open on thanksgiving/christmas eve/christmas where people who might not have good relationships with their family would be able to come and hang out and i would be able to feed them and serve them drinks like if they were at home.
Dear sweet haters: you can't call me "capo". I am an Arab Jew from the middle east, with roots in Morocco and Palestine. We didn't have Nzais, death camps or capos. This vocabulary only makes sense in your beautiful superior white western societies. Thank you and good evening
a galling attempt to castigate jews for using a piece of our own stories and folk history as "colonialism" when the person in question has tarot cards in their banner header, where the meaning of the cards in question were ripped and appropriated from kabbalah
A reminder: Mount Sinai is located in Egypt and a Greek Orthodox monastery bearing my name is located at its foot.
Zionist attempts to turn multifaith, multiethnic, and historically layered spaces located in Palestine and Egypt into 'purely' Jewish loci is colonial erasure.
amazing! way to ignore the fact that you accused jews of colonialism by naming a hospital after mount sinai! tell me, when jews name their children after abraham or or isaac or rachel or sarah, is that colonialism too? or just "weaponization" of Judaism?
Some anonymous person added a note that is completely besides the point of my tweet above (like I don't know where the toponym Sinai comes from? come on!).
People have to STOP w deflection and the weaponization of Judaism and historical traumas for Zionist ends.
i am told that we dont need to worry about it though because ansar allah "does not mean it" and "the only jews they know are zionists" - whew! glad thats covered! i'm sure levi marhabi, the last remaining jew in yemen, will feel comforted by this as he remains in prison
" free Palestine scares them bcs it is the ghost of their own sins, rediscovered as a living, breathing human. The current political structures of colonial projects cannot afford it, so they try to uproot it. Bcs it is a fight between all colonialists and their fake identities.."
all of my social media was filled with israelis trying to get back to israel. israelis desperately find any flight connection from where ever they were - marrakesh, busan, london. israelis trading tips for tickets, who to talk to, how they could get home to help.
i just…what does one even say. right wing antisemitism gets platformed more and more, and no one is going to do anything about it. where are the jewish organizations? where are those who say they will fight against REAL antisemitism? What the fuck are you people doing???
I was looking for information on the conditions of Jews in Raydah, Yemen following an article I read about the last Jewish family there - only to discover that Raydah was where Hebrew instructor Moshe Al-Nahari was murdered in 2008. His killer demanded he convert, he did not.
@CirtaSmk66
@AckermannEmile
how am i supposed to reply to this? i should just ignore the signs there, in the foreground, wishing a curse on us, being carried by an organization that *they know* bear that as their slogan? this, the organization that claims their jewish identity is of supreme importance?
this article is a fucking joke. again, in this document they willingly link to, apparently without having read, the problem is made clear that Jewishness itself is fake, and seen as a major problem, and that to gain acceptance, Jews must assimilate and lose their Jewish identity
As always - Jewishness is demanded by Non-Jews to be subordinate to whatever identity they imagine for us - be us European, Iraqi, Palestinian, "From Brooklyn" or whatever you can think of
somehow the russians and ukrainians and libyans and germans and poles and lithuanians have managed to continue identifying as such despite their expulsions of jews and massacres of hundreds of thousands into the millions of jews
Alon Mizrahi I without equality there's no freedom
I really don't know if any sane person will want to be called Israeli or Jewish ever again. This may very well be the end of Jewish history as we know it. From now till forever, no one will hear or say the word 'Jewish' without seeing the images and videos from Gaza. We are…
At the evian conference in 1938, ireland refused to take in jewish refugees because they thought they wouldnt assimilate and that there “was not enough land in ireland” - and like all other nations at the conference, was thus complicit in the murder of jews across Europe and NA
it is dangerous and effective because it puts forth a shared society that is respected by all, respects the history of all, and works for all. yoav is disappointed, because his preferred version of blood and soil ethnonationalism does not win out in the end
laws were, at various times, redrawn in iraq/egypt/syria to continuously further restrict the public expression of judaism and rebrand it as "zionism" - lets not even begin to get into how the soviet union did this as well.
I don't know. Dating back to the aftermath of the nakba and the establishment of Israel, people have used anti-Zionism to excuse actual antisemitism. In Iraq going so far as to hang anti-Zionist Jews while calling them "Zionists." I don't think anything Zionists do changes this
They were not “stealing land” and they were not, in fact, willingly let into Palestine. These are lies. The major popular thrust of Palestines arab population and what became British policy was *against* letting Jews into the country; even as refugees.
In the 1930s, Jews in ships fleeing the German occupation of Europe were turned away from British ports, then from American ports, so they had no choice but to go to Palestine, where Zionist militias were stealing the land from its owners. A century later...
Jewish Refugees coming to Palestine was opposed in all non-Jewish sectors of the populace. In fact, the concept of even letting in 75,000 (as per the limitations of the white paper) was bitterly opposed by the Arab High Committee
When the USA turned away Jewish refugees during the Holocaust…it was the Palestinians that accepted them. When Europe was helping Hitler to achieve the final solutions, many Palestinians were shielded their Jewish neighbours. So why is them that must pay for the West’s crimes?

The first result when searching for Katie Bouman on YT now is a video from a Nazi degrading her for not “contributing” like her colleagues. Also there is now a bunch of antisemitism in the comments, insinuating that she might be a Jew and if she is, she definitely stole her work.
"why cant we talk about -" jews have been talked about for 2000 years. publicly berated at universities, legislated against, thrown into rivers, dragged into the auto da fe, murdered, on and on and on. to say that you 'can't talk about' jews in the face of history is laughable
anyways: there is a greek orthodox monastery there because christianity views itself as a supercessionist religion, and thus is important to them because it was important *to us*, the jews
reminder: jews in europe were only identified as being "european" after an antisemitic campaign to strip them of their jewish identities so as to assimilate them. they couldn't be jews, they had to be europeans 'with a jewish faith'. this was cultural, social, and often violent
notice that the jews this person talks about are accepted only insofar as they are in their view, "Arab" - this is the trait that gives them a veneer of tolerance: their arabness, not their jewishness. even then, this person speaks of them of in a colonial manner, "our jews"
who can even say if ansar allah is antisemitic. oh, there's a massive archive on the literal ansar allah website, containing documents and sermons where hussein al houthi, the founder of ansar allah, openly decries jewish presence in the world??? certainly that doesn't matter
@chick_in_kiev
at the end of the day, the issue is not that jews live in israel or palestine, what ever you want to call the land between the river and the sea, the issue is that palestinians are not free. at the end of the day, all peoples must be free.
so sorry, but the jews that were ethnically cleansed from north africa and the wider middle east do now get to call the traditional foods that they made israeli or jewish now if they so wish. hope that helps!
i dont particularly care about this, but if you want to talk about "colonialism" in Jews using place names that are important to us as a people, like Sinai or Jerusalem or Zion; guess what, you get to hear about how those who came after sought to replace our history there!
Barbados is a small nation. But I encourage everyone to read this statement as a rare bright moment of clarity where Barbados recognizes both Israel and Palestine, speaks of its brotherhood with both nations and condemns October 7th but calls for an end to Israels insane response
this is not only insulting beyond belief, it is historically ignorant about jews and our conceptions of ourselves at a level that i wonder if this man has ever read a book, ever.
anyways the nazis shot 33,000 jews in a single day outside of kiev. they also repeated this "feat" outside of rovno, vilna, and kamianets. these are the ones i know about, let alone the other shootings that were "only" thousands of jews where shot as opposed to tens of thousands
@MargBarAmerica
@Kulesh0vEffect
maybe they would know a different form of judaism if ansar allah had not ethnically cleansed the last jews of yemen and chased them from the country
if you picture the enemy as cowardly in your head, you will find yourself celebrating such imaginary victories as "one million settlers leaving israel!!!" and thus be completely oblivious to the real picture.
@nivlikw
that libyan jews were murdered in the shoah by nazis, in contrast to this guys claim that north africa didnt have “death camps, nazis, or kapos”
@Bontificate
i hate that the good people of santa fe have to deal with you living amongst them - they do not deserve to have to suffer such horrific monsters like you. i pray god will show you no mercy
the whole interview with makdisi is a joke, and he can say 30,000 words to try to eloquently justify his position, but his position against all aspects of zionism comes down to the fact that Jews were immigrating against the wishes of what he views as the ethnic majority
Gadhafi actually spoke about this “possibility” in the 80s with regard to Libyan Jews - they had to swear loyalty to Libya, disavow Zionism, avoid “Zionist Activity”, and cease communicating with those in Israel. They wouldnt get their property back though, they could just return
sayegh was a fascist and nazi apologist, and of course he had no understanding of jewish history and jewishness. again - why listen to what Jews say about themselves, when you can just rely on what antisemitic europeans had to say about Jews?
@benkling
@RickyRawls
You are right of course, I was making a point very badly and ultimately you are correct. I'm gonna think on this for a little while.
kishinev, at the time, was the worlds most documented pogrom. journalist upon journalist descended upon the city trying to discover what had happened and write about it. what was written was that "it was not clear what happened" and that "jews may have caused some of the damages"
Many details of what transpired on October 7 continue to be shrouded in mystery, including how the 1,400 Israelis who died that day were killed. A growing number of reports indicate the Israeli military was responsible for some of those deaths.

Remind me please, why does this sound so familiar?
A country that has been overflowing with antisemitism in the streets has now decided to begin marking products owned and produced by Jews.

my sincere condolences to the car. it did not deserve to be placed in such danger, nor did it deserve to have such a terrible person placed in it, whose actions led to the car being hurt. i hope the car makes a full recovery, and is able to transport people once more

that "the vehicle crossed a red light because it was on an operational mission and felt threatened in a mixed [Muslim-Jewish] city." Poor baby.
all of this stems from a desire to prove who is 'the true owner of the land', because if they leave then they are cowards who show they do not belong. this is of course a false statement, but they desperately desire for it to be true in the case of Israel

the reading from the thread is that the IDF were going to kill the 7 aid workers anyways, because they wanted to kill one *suspected terrorist* - they thought murdering 7 innocent people was worth it! for something they admit that they only suspected and didnt know for sure!
🧵2/9
According to defense sources, the cars were clearly marked as belonging to the organization, but the war room of the unit responsible for securing the route identified an armed man on the truck and suspected that he was a terrorist, sources said

they were! but in contrast to what this guy says, the shoah and nazis did in fact come to north africa, and jews did in fact die as a result of it!

וגר לא תונה ולא תלחצנו כי גרים הייתם בארץ מצריים - Do not mistreat or oppress foreigners, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
But what have you done? You have stood by as policies for which your racist party advocates destroys immigrant families. You are a shande.
I must add to this - the restoration of Jewish property in Iraq or reparations to the families of Iraqi Jews who were ethnically cleansed from Iraq must not depend on "return" to Iraq. It's their right to receive compensation, whether they choose to inhabit the country or not
This 2021 article from an Iraqi lawyer who represents Iraqi Jews (in exile) seeking equal rights and citizenship illuminates the lengths to which Iraq’s political leaders have gone to explicitly deny Iraqi Jews any equal rights or right of return.
This is not even me being glib - at no point has anyone ever fought on behalf of Jews, and any claim of 'we will fight for Jews' is backed by nothing except hot air. History proves it. "But the Red Army liberated Auschwitz!" - this goal was ancillary at best!
🚨BREAKING: Biden says the U.S. is prepared to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers who are involved in attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank.
🚨Why it matters: This is a big deal. It's the 1st time the U.S. is publicly considering individual sanctions against settlers
we literally still have fucking cossacks. khmelnytskys descendants still live and identify as such! david gerbi went to libya and there were riots because one (1) jew decided to visit! the german nation state still exists and you know it every time the german national team wins!
an actual point of deradicalization from antizionism (even though i wouldnt call myself a zionist per se) was watching “The Land Speaks Arabic” featuring Nur Masalha - clippings from Palestinian newspapers were featured, listing the numbers of Jews immigrating over scary music
For those of us in the Jewish community who were raised to be unquestioningly Zionist, it's important to share the stories of how we learned & changed--to counter the supposed hegemony of Jewish institutions & act in solidarity with Palestinian freedom!
life for jews in europe was so bad that it has warped peoples perceptions of what is required for jews to be oppressed in other places in the world. because we were not being murdered every other year in the OE does not signify on its own that jews were not discriminated against
@ZioStalin1948
As I've explained before and you do not want to acknowledge, Jews (and Christians, Druze, others) held a *protected* status in the Ottoman Empire. It was not the same equality that a liberal democracy would expect, but it wasn't oppressive! You could fit attacks on Jews in
Gadhafi actually spoke about this “possibility” in the 80s with regard to Libyan Jews - they had to swear loyalty to Libya, disavow Zionism, avoid “Zionist Activity”, and cease communicating with those in Israel. They wouldnt get their property back though, they could just return
after reading some patrick wolfe i will say - the attempt to redefine 'indigenous' as just a relation to colonialism/settler colonialism is disingenuous, and actively ethno-national at worst. the relationship boils down to the fact that the indigenous population was there first .
@chick_in_kiev
i mean ive always kinda thought about it like this, even in more sympathetic to zionism days: how does hatikvah go? our hope is not yet lost, the hope of 2000 years? We didnt forget the land for 2000 years, why would we expect Palestinians to forget in 70?
@mollycrabapple
the one that is getting me is the fact that bernie won with culinary union members, even in the face of leadership pushing against bernie. that is solidarity, and it warms my heart
the JVP haggadah includes Zog Nisht Keynmol. Hirsh Glik, was not just a "poet and partisan fighter" - he was a Zionist, a member of Hashomer Hatzeir, friends with Abba Kovner, Vitka Kempner and Itzik Matzkevich - all Zionists. He was murdered in Estonia. His body was not found.

Here is a speech from 1938 from a representative of the Irish government at the Evian conference, the conference organized to try to provide Jews safe refuge from Nazi persecution. Ireland refused to take any jewish refugees because "...there is not enough land"
@Bad_bureaucrat
What he describes simply as "antisemitic violence" is the Hypercacher attack in January 2015, where 4 Jews were murdered. They were then buried in Israel, at Har HaMenuchot. Every person in that room is fiercely french, but also fiercely Zionist, and he does not undestand that.
The context for this is that Gadhafi in the early stages of his rule, seized all Jewish property in Libya, destroyed Jewish cemeteries to make way for Apartment buildings, and his official mouthpiece newspaper declared that Jews were the eternal enemies of the Libyan people.
