Very funny stuff. Amin al-Husseini isn't really celebrated in Palestine the way Stepan Bandera or even Roman Shukeyvich are in Ukraine and isn't all that significant a part of their nationalist mythos.
Amusing to leave out Avraham Stern/Lehi on the other hand.
Two peas in a pod: reactionary nationalists who collaborated with the Axis powers in the hope of getting an independent state out of it. Yet, still retain a cult of personality as nationalist heroes within significant parts of their respective nations & its 'official' mythology.
According to the famed Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, the Stasi was "much, much worse than the Gestapo" when it came to the oppression *of their own people.* Of course, the Gestapo's overall aims were much, much worse.
Omar is diaspora and a lot if not most of the 'extremist' Palestinians are local. Anyway, none of them think a simple peace treaty should be signed on Israel's terms with occupation and apartheid. It's a disagreement on method.
Stop inventing your 'good Palestinians'.
@Noahpinion
It's a general cliché that it's the diaspora that takes irredentist positions, while the locals want a peace treaty so they can get on with their lives
The Palestinians have an extended diaspora, fighting for their cause, but not for them
No, the BJP is fascist in the most classical orthodox sense with aliied organised paramilitaries and death squads. It’s not a normal ‘bourgeois democratic right wing party’.
What does fascism even mean to you? Acting like national oppression and even genocide aren't the modus operandi of bourgeois democracy and sectioning it off onto a unique, separate evil is exactly what liberals do to distance themselves from it.
Guy just looked at a Native American and called them ‘leftist’ when the fact that Native Americans are often politically ‘moderate’ is a well-known thing.
Everyday you see another horror coming out of Gaza, worse than the previous horror. And the world just stands by and does nothing. The West actively supports this.
I am a deeply cynical person, but it is absolutely crushing to see the collective inhumanity in the West.
Occupy ended badly because not enough Occupiers took the brave stance of condemning Russia, North Korea, Iran etc.
Very serious people with serious political opinions.
Unconditional BUT CRITICAL support to the student encampment movement. If we don't want this to end up like Occupy, encampers are going to have to challenge "tankies", campists, alt-imperialists and people who think occupation and genocide are fine outside Palestine

@tooslick2230267
Yeah dude. Dropping more bombs on Korea than in the entire Pacific theatre and wiping out a significant percentage of the population was totally worth it because South Korea is rich now.
Are Americans even human?
Darkly amused by people figuring out this stuff recently. It’s not like we don’t have concentration camps, a brutal militarised occupation which was almost as deadly as the one in Palestine until recently; and our PM wasn’t once banned from the US/UK for committing a pogrom.
Last night, the Islamic regime in Iran launched over 300 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and suicide drones at Israel from Iranian soil.
Iran has been attacking Israel every day since October 7—last night, it stopped hiding behind its proxy armies.
My grandmother nearly died in Auschwitz, and my grandfather fought in the Jewish resistance in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. They both fought for the creation of a Jewish state in Israel. They would be appalled by what the Israeli government is doing, now, in their name. (4/6)
I honestly prefer my genocidal freaks to be like Serbs, unapologetically singing about their fathers being war criminals and so on; and not these whiny wannabe smol beans who call the wambulance every time someone is mean about iSSraHell.
There’s a major conspiracy theory, spouted by Netanyahu himself, that Amin al-Husseini was a primary architect of the Holocaust. It was ludicrous enough that even Staatsräson Merkel shut it down.
Also, they literally recycle old antisemitic tropes against Palestinians.
Are there any conspiracy theories that are explicitly anti Palestinian, Arab or Muslim? Majority of the time it's Jews and Israel that get blamed for something so I'm wondering if there's like a reverse version where Arabs and Muslims are the mastermind.
The American expat in Germany who called for deportations of Arabs 7 months back, thinks pointing out that stuff in Gaza has exceeded the worst atrocities in Ukraine, without equivalent moral outrage in the West; is tankieism or whatever.
Maybe if the pro-Israel West didn’t take that attitude for all this time, it wouldn’t have come to this. Just come clean about your principle that Israel must be allowed to commit genocide, engage in acts of war etc without any consequences.
People understand this and also understand that if the Democrats don’t face any consequences for the stuff they’re doing, things will never change either.
Laughing thinking about how this guy used to try and pretend to be friendly with Arabs and act like the 'nice liberal zionist' on Twitter before he got outed as a sex pest.
The idea that Israel, as a democracy, should be held to higher standards of proportionality and restraint strikes me as exactly backwards.
Each Israeli strike has a kind of democratic legitimacy that Hamas’s attacks—if you believe Hamas does not represent the people of…
Media literacy is once again at an all time low on Twitter, I see.
'Why is this Soviet movie made by a former child partisan not just a Soviet version of Inglorious Basterds?'
I see that Come and See is trending again.
You shouldn’t glorify this movie (let alone watch it).
This gorefest has nothing to do with the Great Patriotic War or the Soviet Partisan movement.
Come and See is a terrible movie from a terrible director.
🧵I'll explain what I mean.
Funny thing is that Nobusuke Kishi was hardly known for being a stellar democrat even in the postwar period, and the architect of the postwar Japanese economic miracle is considered to be Hayato Ikeda.
But Noah just has a hard-on for Far Right leaders at this point.
Case in point: Palestinians repeatedly tried pretty much what Ukrainians did, and were unsuccessful not because they didn't 'take notes', but because when the world's only superpower backs your oppressor to the hilt; it is hard to be successful.
This is why you dudes aren’t getting that revolution you yack on about online. Because when you’re confronted with the idea of an ex-colony rising up against police brutality and a wannabe dictator backed by an imperialist regime you try and mock it instead of taking notes.
Israeli media keeps reporting that intel indicates Iran will strike military targets, not civilian ones. Except that cannot assuage fears considering Israel's Defense HQ is in the heart of Tel Aviv's cultural center and many other military bases are embedded in civilian areas.
There’s really no point in engaging with Drew Pavlou, John Aziz etc. Neither of them care tbh. They just want online clout and arguing with them gives it to them.
José didn’t just condemn Hamas. He asked for a Spanish minister to be sacked because she said Israel’s actions were genocidal and called her Hamas for it.
That things turned around for him in this way is cruel irony. But maybe this fat Gyro should name who killed the aid workers
Omar is now trying to condemn José Andrés because José in turn condemned Hamas and the October 7 massacre.
José called for a ceasefire within like 2 weeks and his aid workers have now been brutally killed. Not ideologically pure enough for Omar. Unhinged
Khamenei lost a lot of his goodwill by rescuing Assad. Had Iran and Hezbollah not stepped in there, they'd have had enjoyed far more popularity.
It's the one person the average Arab hates almost as much as Israel itself.
Yeah he was far more racist than Trump and was an open admirer of fascists, apartheid South Africa and military juntas.
Not much reasoning, just vibes you see. Not that this particular cretin would care, judging by a certain flag in his name.
They burnt a 92 year old woman with Alzheimer’s alive after separating her from her family. They found her charred bones on her granddaughter’s bed after 2 weeks.
This is the evil the West supports wholeheartedly. Pigs. All of them.
Morning Joe guest Richard Haass calls for sanctions on Israel, criticizes Biden: "At some point, the words become empty...there has to be trade sanctions."
"[Biden] looks weak and impotent."
I'm old enough to remember when both King Abdullah II and Bashar al-Assad were hailed by the West as beautiful examples of modern Westernised Middle Eastern autocrats, unlike the other backward Arabs. Assad's stock fell, Abdullah's didn't it seems.
Mf I go to the same university he went to… the guys here ngl aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, myself included. But im not treating this man like he’s god, sorry!
The Islamic Republic is exporting its violent ideologies and extremism to countries around the world.
The Iranian Regime must be stopped, before it’s too late.
#StopIran
I will ask you again: Where is the equivalent sentiment for Zionists cheering on genocide? There isn’t.
You’re just the most shameless white racist out there.
I said that anyone who immediately flocked to the streets on October 7th to celebrate is a bad human being engaging (in my country at least) in terrorist sympathies and I did not care what happened to them. If you think that's all arabs then you're the one admitting something
This is the most racist depiction of Arabs I've seen on modern television.
A group of Arabs "is planning the next intifada", but that doesn't stop Larry David from sexualizing the woman. Then he calls her an antisemite.
Absolutely unhinged.
Arafat's bargain probably made Palestinians worse off in the long term. It led to widespread diplomatic recognition of Israel from countries that previously did not recognise it, and the ambiguous Bantustan nature of 'Palestine' lead to the worst of all worlds.
Idk why people pretend this doesn’t happen when Chinese govt officials like Lijian Zhao themselves partially confirmed the allegations wrt making schoolchildren in Xinjiang eat during Ramzan and other sources are official releases.
Accusations of antisemitism in the UK are the cornerstone of racism inversion here. To be weaponised against marginalised minorities, especially Muslims.
When Starmer says Israel has the right to starve Gaza, that’s not racism tho. It’s at worst, a forgivable faux pas.
When Jewish friends talk about a hostile environment on campus, this is it in practice — a candidate refusing to join a hustings rather than answer a question about antisemitism from a Jewish student.
Good to see JLM and UJS calling this out — we need to be an anti-racist party.
I hate NATO, but you can’t act like Serbs were victims of unprovoked aggression. If there was ever a NATO intervention that was justified, it was this, and the only bad bit is that the West let it escalate to the point this was necessary.
On this day in 1999, NATO began bombing Yugoslavia. It was the alliance’s first war without UN permission and, in just under three months, left 2,500 people dead and a further 12,000 injured. 🧵
This is peak Shameless FC.
“I support the genocide that killed your sister, but here are my condolences for her unfortunate death. I don’t have blood on my hands.”
Hard point to appreciate for a white lib low key supporting an ongoing genocide; but nobody thinks the Houthis are progressive but that
1. They’re the only major group actively trying to stop a genocide
2. The West bombing Yemen will bring even more misery to embattled Yemenis
Missing context here is that the PLO had advocated for just this in its charter. It was revised much later to a 2SS position as a compromise with the West
Pretty mendacious to not mention that this position was changed (not without controversy) due to pressure from the US/Israel
In Palestine, a major party like the ANC that endorses a 1SS with equal rights for all is still absent.
Barghouti feels South Africa is the best model to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict, as do many people who, like me, are uncomfortable w/ nationalisms &

Don’t ask the French about what France’s actual government was doing during WWII btw.

We are talking about a man who became Prime Minister *after* committing the worst pogrom in India this century and was consequently barred from entering the US and UK for it.
Hahahaha you racist loser this is a famous slogan associated with the Kashmiri freedom struggle and repurposed (often controversially for Kashmiris) for struggles across South Asia.
Athough in this context, it is extremely appropriate given the shared struggle.

EaSStern EurohitlerTwinKKKs never beating the allegations.
I feel sorry for regular normal people trying to enjoy a concert in Moscow. I don’t feel sorry for Islamists at a political rally honoring a terrorist.
Controversy over nepo-babies is just being unable to comprehend the heritability of traits, and assuming it has to be corruption that successful people’s children are successful.
I'm sorry but in a war with nukes, you will get wiped out by Pakistan lmfao. America restraining your neighbours against you shouldn't make you this cocky.
What exactly has Assad done for Palestinians except massacre them lol?
And that he needed Hezbollah to save his arse led to Hezbollah’s own popularity in the region taking a hit.
I said it before, the death tolls are compiled from the healthcare services including first responders. Once you’ve destroyed that, you will end up massively undercounting casualties.
I knew deaths in north Gaza have been undercounted, but I had no idea it was this bad. “Media reports” can only go so far when there are barely any journalists remaining on the ground.
@ConspiracyBull1
It makes more sense to show recreation in Gaza prior to October 7, which at least contradicts some of the claims that it was an "open air concentration camp." Now it's just cruel.
The new Young Labour chair is the son of a major Zionist businessman and a recent Labour Party donor who helped Apartheid South Africa evade sanctions, while his grandfather was a donor to the National Party there. 😂😂😂

This is about the most shameless thing I've seen. You were literally demanding more arms supplies to the genocidal state that killed his father and sister.
Absolutely depraved.
Hebrew U poll:
52% of Israelis say Israel shouldn’t respond to Iranian attack, while 48% want to see a response even if it means extending the current round of the conflict.
74% of Israelis oppose counterattack if it undermines Israel’s security alliance with its allies.
Yeah. I’m sure that IDF soldiers gang raped a pregnant woman. That totally makes sense. They’re just chilling in Gaza, raping pregnant (but only pregnant) women. 🙄 Do you people hear yourselves?! FFS.
As I’ve said, the basic issue re Palestinian dehumanisation is that Westerners just don’t perceive Palestinians as close to them. Whereas Israelis are.
Transnational whiteness or something something.
People will slowly realise that not once in its entire existence, was Israel *not* an apartheid state and it's actually not accidental that at least in the UK, a lot of antizionism did evolve out of anti-apartheid activism.
Today I learned that it was only after 1982 that Arabs in Israel proper from before 1948 could become citizens. I knew that Israel was born out of displacement but not….like this
This guy has had a hate boner for Palestinians for a long while, while consistently doing convoluted apologia for Israel. Wish he’d just come out and say it lol.
Might hurt his ‘anarchist’ credentials ofc.

@PanAmComintern
Well the British armed trained and staffed the opponents of each, but idk, did the Soviets use a Time Machine to arm George Washington too? Or did ex Nazi demolitions efforts go back in time & join the British side or smth ?
People’s brains are so broken by this website that the first thought that occurs to them wrt Israeli support for Serbia is ‘muuuh Chomsky’ (or some other Western leftist they hate) and not the fact Israel literally supplied arms to the Serbs when they were genociding Bosniaks.
“Haha look at all these Commies being upset and depressed about a genocide we are all complicit in. Skill issue. Could never be me. Who cares about dead Ay-rabs?”
If you think it’s fine for landless peasants to be terrorised and evicted by landlords because ‘muuuh my rightful property’, you have the ethical system of an 18th Seigneur and you’d have it coming to you in a just world.
Biden‘s betrayal may be a blessing in disguise for Israel. Assuming it has enough weapons, it should simply finish Hamas in Rafah, destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon, and take out the Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel was built without US aid and can survive without US aid.
It’s true as a technicality, but South Africa was considered one of the vilest actors with regards to race and segregation even then, and Smuts himself was considered quite diabolical in this regard.
Apartheid didn't exist until 1948, and the National Party that implemented it wanted South Africa to remain neutral. BJ Vorster was literally interned for supporting the Nazis! As were many other Afrikaners.
It was Smuts and the Anglophiles who brought South Africa into WW2.
To be clear the main villains are Israel and the US; but it’s truly something how Germany is going out of its way to be needlessly sadistic about all of this. Under a supposed centre-left government too.
21 lebensgefährlich und schwer verletzte palästinensische Kinder sind in Kairo, deutsche Uni-Kliniken würden ihre Behandlungen übernehmen, die Kosten sind durch Spenden gedeckt.
Doch die deutsche Botschaft in Kairo verweigert die Einreise zur Behandlung in Deutschland.
How does someone fumble this bad? Like you named a specific crime that Israel has committed and with IDF soldiers bragging about it.
Just go with the ‘No gas chambers for Palestinians’ rhetoric or ‘wHaT AbOuT ThE sPAnISh EmPiRE? WHaT abOUt FrAnCo?’ stuff lmao.
Yeah holding random Jews in the West responsible for the actions of Israel is bad- hardly a controversial point.
But if you are a Zionist, yes you do support ethnic cleansing and apartheid. It’s quite simple.

This kind of midwit aims their tweets complaining about Indian libs/lefties at a group of Western libs to act like the former is unprincipled; while hiding some very important context such as vegetarianism in India being about norms of purity, pollution & social exclusion.
The position of Indian left/liberals on vegetarianism proves more than anything else that almost every political position is contingent on who/whom, subordinated to coalition dharma and the first principles are derived later from it rather than other way round.
Yeah the Associated Press isn’t wrong. That’s exactly what Hamas said and is in line with the official position of almost every country aside from Israel itself.
Hamas: We demand a 100 percent Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, a 100 percent Israeli withdrawal from half of Jerusalem – including the entire Old City and the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim holy sites – and a 100 percent "right of return" for five million Palestinians to…
He committed a massive pogrom in 2002 before he was elected as Prime Minister. And his party and government have continuously demonised and attacked minorities.
I think ‘a guy I don’t like’ is underselling this very important point.
>American
>Imprisoned in and deported from Israel for protesting the occupation
>Arrested as a tourist in the UK for saying ‘I stand with Hamas’ at a protest
>Stands up for free speech
>Refuses to pay fines
Absolute Gigachad.
This guy was arrested for having a sign saying “Stand with Hamas” then he stood in court and said “Yes I stand with Hamas” and ONLY got a fine. Which he refuses to pay. What is the point of having strict laws on terror offences if judges let Hamas supporters walk all over them?
