Watching "Israelism" shocked me. How systematically Jewish kids are indoctrinated to defend the indefensible.
Now the ADL is scaling it. Their school materials teach *all* U.S. kids to justify demolishing Palestinian homes & silence dissent.
They perfected the narrative. Now they’re exporting it.

The ADL's hypothetical scenario involving flyers critical of Israel's demolition program encapsulates many other issues that those who reviewed the material or completed a training raised. The scenario begins with a student leaving their dorm room to find a flyer taped to the door "warning that your residence hall will soon be demolished" "The rest of the flyer contains 'facts' about how many Palestinian homes have been demolished by the Israeli military to collectively punish and 'ethnically cleanse' Palestinians," the toolkit continues. The ADL is referring to the highly charged debate over Israel's mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank. The training material then offers the Israeli narrative around the demolitions, claiming they target "terrorists" and "deter others from terrorist action". *. Other homes were demolished because they were "built without proper permits", the ADL states. "While you may agree or disagree with these Israeli government actions, the charge that Israel has demolished these homes to 'ethnically cleanse' Palestinians is inaccurate and inflammatory," the ADL material states.

According to the Guardian, the ADL is now creating education materials for schools in which the civil rights organization justifies Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes in occupied Palestinian territory.

Inside the Crisis at the Anti-Defamation League The group used to believe the rights of Jews were inextricable from the rights of everyone else. Its war against anti-Zionism has changed everything.

In an internal memo to ADL staff, Jonathan Greenblatt calls my story about the group a "shallow hit piece."

The article has more than 40 sources. You can judge for yourself whether or not it's shallow or a hit piece.

I'll link to Greenblatt's memo in the thread.

American Nurse Who Tried to Save “No Other Land” Activist Was Detained and Deported by Israel Americans on the scene who tried to help Palestinians said Israel authorities detained, deported them — all as settler attackers roamed free.

"Israel detained and then deported an American nurse who tried to save the life of Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist who worked on the Oscar-winning documentary film 'No Other Land.'"

Seeing Kamala Harris openly say that the system is broken was so powerful.

Just having someone in her position say it so candidly without qualification was beyond powerful.

Israel’s Ever-Expanding War Machine Is Financed Through International Bond Sales Israel’s ability to continue its military onslaughts is dependent on a sophisticated international funding system.

"Behind each bomb is an investment flow."

Israel is "selling bonds worldwide to quickly raise money to fund the Gaza genocide."

"[T]hose who buy them are becoming complicit in crimes against humanity."

Perhaps the UK & Israel's other allies are broadly ok with this strategy because Israel is doing their "dirty work"?

Merz is not diplomatic enough to keep quiet about this but I doubt it's just a German view.

The West also decided to eliminate the LTTE (Tamil Tigers). Another ignored genocide.

The U.K. and allies dropping small parcels of food into Gaza from the sky because Israel won’t let in lorries packed full of aid is such a blatantly horrific symbol of everything that’s wrong in the world, isn’t it.

A new ‘dossier’ reveals extensive pro-Israel bias among reporters, editors and executives at the ‘NYTimes’ New York Times reporters are supposed to follow a strict code of ethics to avoid even the appearance of bias. A new report shows how the paper ignores this when it comes to covering Palestine.

How the Israeli army covered up another aid massacre that killed 90 starving Palestinians in Gaza The WFP reported on how the Israeli army opened fire on a crowd of starving civilians rushing an aid convoy in northern Gaza, which killed 90 people. The Israeli army lied and said no one was shot.…

"We dropped to the ground, then crawled through the rain of bullets."

"The tanks fired, the soldiers fired, the planes fired, the warships fired."

"The flour was stained with blood, but it was the only thing I could get."

Jeremy Bowen: Air dropping Gaza aid is an act of desperation that won't end hunger Air drops can look good on television, but deliver very little aid and endanger civilian lives.

Professionals involved in relief operations regard air dropping aid as a last resort. They use it when any other access is impossible. That's not the case in Gaza. A short drive north is Ashdod, Israel's modern container port.

Israel is denying Palestinians of life essential water resources in order to further their war-crimes of eradicating the Gazan population.

The ICJ’s ruling means Australia and other major polluters face a new era of climate reparations | Harj Narulla Countries are now bound under international law to reduce emissions or pay damages to affected nations – a clear statement that the status quo is not sufficient Today, Australia has found itself on the wrong side of history.

Has anyone researched what economists in the corporate world think (especially those at the mega financial players - banks & investment firms - that have so much policy influence) vs what academic economists think on the critical global topics?

I suspect it would be very enlightening
