If I was a white person in South Africa, I'd have opposed apartheid
If I was a German in the 30s, I'd have opposed the Nazis
If I was alive at the time, I'd have opposed the British empire
But I'm a Jew. So I oppose Zionism
We must all challenge power & say "Not in our name"
I'm a Jew who has married a non-Jew.
Tzipi Hotovely, the Israeli Ambassador to the UK, believes that should be illegal. She thinks that Jews and non-Jews should be kept apart.
That's 100% racist.
That's a good enough reason for me, to expel the Israeli Ambassador.
I get that a lot of Israeli Jews are scared right now.
So here's an idea: Why don't we offer them refuge in our own countries? Invite them to Britain, the States & Canada!
It's win win: The "Israelis" get to live somewhere they feel safe, and the locals get their land back!
If you don't want football fans to boo the national anthem, don't play the national anthem at football matches.
It's as simple as that.
Not everyone is nationalistic.
Not everyone believes in God.
Not everyone wants to save the king.
Suck it up, you right-wing snowflakes.
As a child, I was brainwashed by my family, synagogue & cheder - to believe everyone hated us Jews (especially Muslims & Palestinians), and that the only way to "Defend" ourselves from this perceived threat was to be violent against our would-be persecutors.
Sound familiar?
My family was born & raised in Britain. But we can claim Israeli citizenship, because we were born Jewish.
People born in the Holy Land, who fled from Zionist terror, cannot return to their homes, because they weren't born Jewish.
That's racist.
#FreePalenstine
#Gaza_Genicide
The idea that "Israel has a right to defend itself against the Palestinians", is absurd as the idea that the Nazis had a right to "Defend" themselves against Jews.
Oppressors don't have any "Right" to defend themselves against the people they oppress.
#TelAvivKeith
Two types of Jews...
1) Zionists: "We live in a dog-eat-dog world. The big dogs do the genocides. The small dogs are the victims. We should be the big dogs."
2) Anti-Zionists: "Let's create a world without any genocides."
I'm proud to be an anti-Zionist Jew.
When I visited the West Bank I told the locals, "I am Jewish".
They pretty much all replied the same way: "You are welcome here. We don't have any problem with Jews - we've lived together for thousands of years. We only have a problem with Zionists".
#FreePalestineFromIsraeINOW
When I visited Palestinians in the West Bank, I told them that I was Jewish, and they said "You are welcome here".
When I went through Israeli border control, I told them I was Jewish. I was passed on to a Zionist official, taken into his office, and grilled for 30 minutes.
Gaza isn't an "Open-air prison".
Prisons are full of criminals. They're given 3 meals a day. They get visitations. They're released on a certain date.
GAZA IS A CONCENTRATION CAMP.
The people are there because of their race. They're innocent victims of a racist state.

The Queen was a political figure.
The monarchy is a political institution.

👉🏽 The IDF is a terrorist organisation.
👉🏽 They're committing a genocide.

👉🏽 Netanyahu is a war criminal.
If you don't speak up for the Palestinians today, you wouldn't have spoken up for Jews in Nazi Germany, you wouldn't have spoken up for black folk in apartheid South Africa, and you wouldn't have spoken up for the slaves. By remaining silent, you'd have sided with the oppressor.

"THE SELF-MADE DELUSION"
The rich like to claim taxes should be low, because they're "Self-made" and have earned everything they have. It's a lie. It's physically impossible to be self-made. We're interdependent. We rely on others in everything we do
Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic.
But if you accuse someone of being antisemitic, because they've criticised Israel, then you yourself are being antisemitic.
That's because you're associating Jews (a group of people) with Israel (an evil, genocidal quasi-state).
The idea that we Jews are "terrified" of a peaceful march against genocide - made up of smiling, singing peaceful folk - is incredibly antisemitic.
It implies we're all a bunch of lily-livered cowards, who can't handle the democratic process.
Jeremy Hunt is an antisemite.
This Jew says "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free".
Because, why would you accept any less? Why would you say: "You people over here can be free, but you people over there cannot".
All people should be free everywhere.

The Palestinians don't care that their occupiers are Jewish. It's not about race, ethnicity or religion.
They care that they are OCCUPIERS - responsible for the theft of land, the squatting of homes, and the ethnic cleansing of entire communities.
#ZionismIsTerrorism
If the police "led away" a peaceful protestor in Moscow, Beijing or North Korea - the press would be up in arms, berating the authoritarianism of those nations.
The same thing happens in Britain, and something, something "Breach of the peace".

You know how the media like to refer to IS as the, "So-called Islamic state"?
I reckon it's time they start referring to Israel as the, "So-called Jewish state".
I'm Jewish. And I'm embarrassed by the actions of Israel, in the exact same way that Muslims are embarrassed by IS.
This idea that "Jews need a nation-state to achieve self-determination" is baloney.
I'm Jewish.
I've self-determined in places like Britain, Bulgaria & The Philippines.
If I was born in Israel, I'd have been imprisoned for refusing to join the Zionist army.
#IsraeliApartheid
Most people who say "All lives matter", believe that SOME LIVES MATTER MORE THAN OTHERS.
Most people who say "Black Lives Matter", believe that all lives should matter EQUALLY.
And, right now, they don't. Black people are the victim of institutional racism by Britain's police:

I think a lot of them would be owed reparations, thanks to the holocaust. I'd say the Germans have a moral duty to house and home Jews, to make up for what they did.
Wouldn't it be great if we could elect our bosses, vote on company policy, and share the profits we help to generate?
In some businesses, this really is the case!
Read about it in my new blog:
Or get my book, "DEMOCRACY":
If you want a white state, for white people, then you're a racist.
If you want an Arian state, for Arian people, then you're a racist.
And if you want a Jewish state, for Jewish people, then you're a racist.
No ifs. No buts. No maybes.
No tolerance for racism.

Israel is a settler-colonialist state.
The Zionists aren't "Defending themselves". They're defending an occupation - a colonial project.
The Palestinians are resisting that occupation - as is their right under international law.

The best kind of Germans opposed the Nazis, even when they were in power.
The best kind of South Africans opposed apartheid, even when it was the norm.
The best kind of Jews oppose Zionism. We always have done, and we will continue to do so forever.

Under Sir Keir Starmer, Jews are up to 35-times more likely to be accused of antisemitism (and investigated, and potentially expelled) than non-Jews.

This is antisemitic:

You're suggesting that all Jews are Zionists - ie racist, fascist scum. That's antisemitic.
You're also denying the existence of anti-Zionist Jews. That's antisemitic.

So-called "Israel" is not a legitimate country. It's a settler-colonial project on occupied land - established by ethnic-cleansing, and maintained by apartheid.
Imagine someone steals your home. You say you want it back - all of it, from the front door all the way back to the garden. When you say this, you're called "Terrorists" and accused of "Antisemitism".
Well, this is what Palestinians have to endure.

That man's refusal to become a soldier, despite the abuse he received in return, despite the damage it did to his bank balance and career - that was blimming heroic.
When I visited Auschwitz, the guide asked: "Do you know why the gas chambers were called the 'Final Solution'?"
She explained the 'Original Solution' was to move Jews to their "Own land" abroad, to somewhere like Palestine or Madagascar.
