The Other Reason Jewish Professionals are Accusing Muslim Colleagues of Antisemitism Sometimes a melodramatic reaction to a keffiyeh, a map of Palestine or an expression of humanity in a work chat is just a stratagem to ostracize the up-and-coming competition

There is a class element to everything, and how the choice Jews in the West made to support Israel and Jewish exceptionalism comes back to haunt them, and will change their lives forever

Israel Lobby EXPOSED: What REALLY Happened at the BBC
YouTube video by Double Down News Israel Lobby EXPOSED: What REALLY Happened at the BBC

The people powerful enough to make heads roll at the BBC are also telling us the BBC is anti-Israel. It isn't. It's vigorously anti-Palestinian, as film-maker Richard Sanders explains: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ROB...

What is Security Council Resolution 2803, and what does it mean for the Trump Gaza plan? Why did the US seek a UN Security Council resolution, how was it achieved, and what authority does it grant the US and its partners?

The treachery of Arab rulers summed up:

“The US achieved the adoption of a [UN] resolution [2803] that…remains faithful to the…Trump plan... In doing so the US managed to respect Israel’s red lines while giving Arab states ‘a little’ [emphasis added] of what they required…”

You seriously couldn’t make this up: here, #Google's #AI chat #Gemini is prejudicially programed. It initially analyzed the script and offered to state the accent—not based on the tones and phonics but yes, you guessed it right—based on how the name of the speaker sounds!

Opinion | Trump Is an Albatross Just Ask Mikie Sherrill, Abigail Spanberger and Zohran Mamdani.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“If this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground — and it is — then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

Genocide, Not Just Destruction: Peter Oborne's Complicit and the Omission of the British Military A review: Oborne’s book is a devastating read, but its central irony is the failure to name (or the omission of) the specific UK military commanders who aided the IDF's genocide in Gaza.

UK Zionist/Jewish supremacist lawyers for #hostages eg @adamwagner1.bsky.social had repeated direct access to doors of power eg PM Keir Starmer & foreign secretaries, whereas lawyers for UK aid workers & Palestinians didn’t. If this isn’t Jewish supremacy, then I don’t know what is. ⬇️

The US #Trump’s #PeaceTalks (aka British Mandate 2.0 of Palestine, with Butcher of Iraq War Tony Blair likely sitting on board with Trump and his Zionist Jewish stakeholders Steve Witkoff & Kushner) has exposed the cowardliness or treachery of the Arab and Muslim states.

While any respite from genocide is welcome, until and unless the genocidal occupation doesn’t not end *fully* from *all* of occupied Palestine incl East Jerusalem, and until Palestinians do not get their *full* statehood with own deterrent defence force, all is Oslo 2.0.

نهاية الحرب طبعا نرحب ولكن هذا ليس اتفاق السلام بل الاتفاق الوقف الموقت. مالم تسفر عن هذا الاتفاق دولة فلسطينية على أراضيها المحتلة بأكملها مع القدس الشريف كعاصمتها مع القوات المسلحة الفلسطينية للحفاظ على سيادتها، تكون جميع الاتفاقات تافهة، تسفر عنها الابادة الأخرى.
