My first coming out at work. My manager (who I didn’t have a great relationship w) asked why I looked sad I said because tomorrow I can’t go to my first pride because I didn’t book annual leave. She said “oh no, you just did! Enjoy your first pride!”. I sobbed w joy
They parked their car for a fun weekend like we all do when we go to a music festival and they ran to their cars to escape a death cult. This is not a museum display like you see in the Holocaust museums. It is an active display. It is a site that is active. These cars are here…

What does an abuser do? They keep you isolated, convince you that everyone hates you, intentionally provoke the haters so that they react and prove the abuser’s point. It must be terrifying to be used this way
@LauraBockov
Which is PRECISELY why she filed a motion to protect their identity: she thought she’d win and did not want the identity of the juror to be ground for appeal. Hello malice.
@Beatrix32021692
For once, she isn’t wrong. No victim should have to go through that the way poor Johnny had to do. But when your abuser defames you publicly, you have to notch the fight up
@TheMendozaWoman
Thank you for writing this! My story is a lot less fascinating. It was me, ca 1985, asking "I understand why Israel was formed, but... what do you mean kicking people out of their homes and land? Couldn't they just live together? What reparations have Palestinians got?".

Or… yous all think he’s the hyper aware genius he is not. He was curious, went there because of the backlash on Twitter, and was just trying to boost his revenue because it’s going down.

Also, if the Israeli governments loved their people, they would have put provisions in place to help them overcome the trauma of the Holocaust, rather than infantilise and re traumatise them on repeat, keep them isolated, and scared of anyone and everything different

Yet it was indubitably planned and routinely mass-implemented. Just reading about what king leopold did to Congo or the Germans to the Herero. Planned, ruthlessly executed, geared around destroying physically and culturally. It wasn’t a one-off event or just war
@IbnRiad
Also, it's psychological warfare. The more they state they are in control, the more those rockets evidence that they aren't. Netanyahu won't take it well, & his mistakes will jeopardize his position further. The West will have to give him up to the ICC to escape prosecution.
@DrPragyaAgarwal
I had a similar guy - thankfully I dumped him in 2 weeks. He told me to cover my legs because they were ugly. The problem is, for all the self-doubts I've had, they never involved my legs - because everybody under the sun except him told me how great they look.
@ecomarxi
I feel the same way as you do. Plus, my family has lost 30-something members to a Nazi vendetta in WW2. All civilians, blamed for the actions of the local resistance. Too close to home to be unbothered.
Whenever I see the great Alan Rickman trending I like to mention that Alan helped edit Rachel Corrie's diaries—the young American woman murdered trying to stop Israel's destruction of a Palestinian home in 2003—turning it into a play. He also directed the play.

If we were in 1942 under the Nazi, reports about concentration camps would be labelled “allegations” to be “fact-checked” through the German government because of “impartiality and professionalism”.
@bookdellector
It's one of the many things that doesn't make sense. They were there to find and get hostages, and they had a short time to accomplish their goal. Logically, these accusations make no sense.
It appears she relied on life-saving medications, which Hamas must have provided despite the siege.
Why did they attack hospitals if they cared about her staying alive?

Julia Hartley-Brewer's vile "interview" with

has rightly caused outrage.
But it would be easy to just dismiss Hartley-Brewer as a pantomime villain.
She simply reflects, however crudely, the Western media's raging contempt towards Palestinians.
@el_sabawi
Iran has hypersonic missiles. The Americans and Israelis don’t have those. Plus, they have zero defense for them. I’m sure it’s playing a big part in that. Incidentally, it’s also why NATO shouldn’t harass China Russia or Iran.
30k dead, 100k injured, 1.5 million being bombed and starved as we speak, half of them children.
A reporter asks Biden a question about them specifically.
He seems to only care about the 100+ Israeli hostages.
@RollingStone
Your article is very disappointing. It’s dangerous for you to keep harping this false rhetoric AFTER she has been judged GUILTY of defaming her ex. It’s even more dangerous because you’re going to get boycotted and lose revenue.
@a_leesha1
At my first protest in Belfast, a very old Palestinian man brought me to tears. He looked around, with tears in his eyes, smiled, and said "I can't believe you are so many. Thank you!". He moved me deeply. The 2 counterprotesters shouted at us, but no ratial abuse.
@tralalalumbum
I started the trial on AH’s side. Then I listened to JD’s story and, as a DV survivor, I started doubting AH. When I heard him saying “I love you so much and you don’t exist” I started sobbing cause I could relate to him. Nothing she said or did sounded believable

@AryJeay
It's pointless. Any vessel (or flight) must identify itself when requested to. Plus, there are online trackers. They are trying to hide the hijackings and claim they are made up LOL
I understand Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan are afraid of stopping Israel, but what about Europe?
I mean, what is Israel gonna do, bomb Paris? Berlin? LONDON?
LOL
@LauraBockov
The judge will say: a) U.K. verdict has different defendant b) the trial was for a different statement not time barred yet c) juror age should have been brought up at selection stage. Yawn

I was pointing out to a friend today that, those who come from countries that were never invaded or occupied, should shut up because they have no clue how it feels. No idea of the generational trauma.
@rabid_raviv
My family lost 30+ family members during a Nazi revenge massacre. Their bloodline stopped w them. Everybody born after the massacre was named after them. I hear you. I can't help relating to the families in Gaza.
To win in court, you need to produce a logical, factual argument.
Ad hominems, emotional reasoning, and slandering will not work.
That's why they'll lose LOL
🚨BREAKING: ISRAELI RESPONDS REGARDING SOUTH AFRICA'S ICJ GENOCIDE CASE BY ACCUSING THEM OF BEING COMPLICIT WITH HAMAS.

@tasteofsanity
The funny thing is, I’ve been telling my friends, since right after JD took the stand the first time: “if his lawyer manages to understand what makes her tick, she’ll perjure herself”. Abusers are like that: if you find where they’re vulnerable you can extort a confession
What perfectly legal initiatives can we take to stop this massacre? A 🧵
1. Weapons require money to be bought.
If you have financial products with these banks:
switch them to a building society, the coop bank, or a credit union
@Megatron_ron
It’s not going to last that long. The compounded effects of the naval blockade, the debt, people off work, and the boycotts will bring Israel to its knees very soon. Plus, the shambolic state of its military and the inevitable pressure due to protracted war crimes.
@DrProudman
No, “doctor”. If I don’t believe THIS woman, it’s a logical fallacy to claim that I no longer believe women. I don’t believe her because she faked evidence and pretended to have been abused. When you worked on your PhD, you were taught to rely on evidence. Why don’t you

4 - 🇮🇱 tried to unalive them with weapons that would go deep in the ground, because they knew something (=what happened on Oct 7th) that he didn't want to be known.
@dustychipura
I have flipped the perspective. I’m sorry they can’t be like me. Their lives are often boring, repetitive, mundane, and uneventful. I try to help then whenever I can. I am SO glad I’m not like them. I’d miss out on so many things
@MelanieBridgen
The short version: because it’s not what the court said. The case was against a newspaper that published something plausible. No discovery was ever done on AH. She fed the plausible information which is different from correct information
Meta Company, which owns Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, provides the “Israeli Army” with information about the movements of Palestinians to target them and their families through family WhatsApp groups.
@Justtforfuunn
I’m happy it was denied. This accomplished two things: no late minute request to strike it if things go wrong for AH and she cannot sue JD again for this reason. If she wins, she can’t sue for more in the future. This is just great news.

I took an interpreting class with several hijabi women. My Russian friend did not expect to see the Egyptian hijabi boss her famous husband (a surgeon) around when he came to pick her up. Not sure why they think hijabi women are meek and submissive.

You are describing what the press is doing: ignoring the evidence AND the verdict to fit a hidden agenda. Juries are powerful because they have nothing to lose - differently from the mainstream press

Seriously mate? You know what will happen if you keep publishing rubbish? We will boycott you, and you’re gonna lose a lot of money. You’re seriously underestimating the power of people. We are not few thousands, we are millions
The reasons:
1) underestimating the enemy
2) fighting without understanding how resistance forces fight
3) evacuating civilians w/o thinking you'll be a MUCH easier target
4) no idea of what the Battle of Stalingrad was
5) young and untrained Army officers

Besides that claim is incorrect. The ancient greek distinguished isegoria from parrhesia. which she cannot tell apart, like pledge vs donate. Plus, the ancient greeks also invented ostracism. As usual she doesnt make sense!
@ThatUmbrella
It’s immaterial. There’s no prohibition whatsoever for a lawyer not to be friends with an expert witness. If I am not mistaken, they were friends from well before the trial
A little bit of logic for Mr Kirby:
1. If their strikes are precise, the unaliving was intentional - and it's a war crime
2. If the unaliving was intentional, it's carpet bombing - and it's another war crime.
Israel's military actions are indefensible under international law.
"Does it makes it make sense to you that a vehicle marked with World Central Kitchen after coordinating with the Israelis that they didn't see it?"
John Kirby: "They have taken precise strikes against Hamas in Gaza. They've also taken strikes that have been not precise."
Newsflash: the attacker in Sidney was an ISRAELI.
I look forward to listening to a plethora of journalists describing how consumed by extremist hate he must have been.
