Orange jumpsuit, or orange wig?

lots of people now think that Mandela was a pacifist. The founder of Umkhonto We Sizwe lol

1. Researching this week’s column, I felt that I understood at last just why, on so many issues – benefits, Gaza, environmental and planning laws, anti-protest laws, bank deregulation, fiscal rules etc - Labour is out-Torying the Tories. Why it has become so cruel, so destructive and so spineless. 🧵

I'm not here much & only recently active. The genocide in Gaza has been acute during that time, so it's been a focus. Point is, I'm not a partisan in a propaganda war. I started off very pro-Israel, before evidence about what was happening in the Occupied Territories became overwhelming

not if it's actual scholarship rather than right wing propaganda. I've provided real evidence from multiple independent or Jewish sources.

I read as far as I could before it wanted me to sign up. It was a weak defence to that point. It'll take the view of the actual genocide expert thanks.

I have posted on socmed about Ukraine, women in Iran, US in the middle east, the Uyghurs & Tibetans, Western Papua, Western Sahara etc.
But the west isn't funding those to the tune of billions of dollars a year
Neither is the scale comparable.
Unlike you I condemn all war crimes, not just my enemies

you're joking surely?
You're putting an op ed by a pro-Israel right wing US think tank up against a number of legal analyses by numerous distinguished genocide scholars, including Israeli ones?
C'mon now.

Historian Omer Bartov on why he believes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with Omer Bartov, Holocaust and genocide studies scholar at Brown University, about his essay outlining why he believes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

this guy must be Hamas

Is Israel Committing Genocide in Gaza? New Report from BU School of Law’s International Human Rights Clinic Lays Out Case The report comes from researchers at the University Network for Human Rights, a consortium of human right centers

My opinion is irrelevant. As is yours.

Anyone who truly wants governance and politics done well owes thanks to @misswhanau.bsky.social for exposing dirty politics + misogyny + bullying. We need to know who we are dealing with. Questioning HER motives is sooooo revealing.

1. OP was talking about Arab countries around Palestine, so not sure yr point
2. I'd call Oct 7 an atrocity & a war crime.
3. Genocide scholars, incl. Israeli ones, are saying that Israel is, in fact, committing genocide. Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la" changes nothing

Israeli public figures accuse judiciary of ignoring incitement to genocide in Gaza Letter to attorney general and state prosecutor demands action to stop ‘explicit calls to commit atrocious crimes’

Just listen to your leaders. They aren't disguising anything.

It is hard to understand. Many holocaust survivors are equally bewildered.
As to your 1st point - that's ironic from a guy who says that almost every international human right org, media channel and intergovernmental organ is wrong and only the IDF is trustworthy.
Cognitive dissonance is real.

Evidence of ‘execution-style’ killings of Palestinian aid workers by Israeli forces, doctor says Forensic consultant says multiple bullets were used from short range in attack that has caused global outrage

The thread was about IDF firing on people waiting for food aid. As testified by IDF soldiers.
That's not even talking about the execution of bound aid workers.
Of course you find it hard to admit what is in front of your eyes. It would be too much to bear.

Keep telling yourself that. Maybe it'll silence your conscience. But probably not. Which is why you need to shout so much.

Just a periodic reminder: fascism and anti intellectualism are inextricably linked.

The epistemic crisis and the crisis of fascism are mirrors.

UNRWA has food for the entire population for over three months — stockpiled and ready also in Al Arish, Egypt.

The supplies are available. The systems are in place.

Open the gates. Let UNRWA deliver.
1 million children are waiting.

A Government for Big Business, by Big Business

Deflect & change the subject.
You cannot face what Israel is doing because it conflicts with your identity, what it means to you to be Jewish. It betrays the rich ethical traditions. You pretend it isn't happening to avoid unbearable dissonance.
But lying to yourself will exact a terrible cost.

actually IDF soldiers say so.

Classic strawman. Most people objecting to the genocide taking place in Gaza are not Hamas supporters. They just aren't psychopaths.

Deflection. They aren't the ones committing genocide

I think that would be Otzma Yehudit and, increasingly, Likkud.

Israeli soldiers ordered to fire on Palestinians queuing for aid, say whistleblowers Investigation launched into suspected war crimes in Gaza following testimony from troops

These aren't mistakes. They are policy.
btw I've condemned Hamas many times, but their war crimes are far surpassed by the crimes against humanity now being committed by Israel.

Yesterday, 12 countries announced their commitment to a full arms embargo on the Israeli government. The resolution comes out of an emergency summit in Bogota where the Hague Group gathered to coordinate legal and diplomatic action to counter the “climate of impunity” for Israeli war crimes.

‘Not a normal war’: doctors say children have been targeted by Israeli snipers in Gaza IDF says it ‘completely rejects’ charge that its soldiers deliberately fired on any of the thousands of civilians killed in Israeli offensive

Doctors are Hamas

Same with #nzpol Labour under Hipkins

You're worried that western media are no longer swallowing IDF propaganda. Finally starting to believe their own eyes. Our Governments will inevitably follow. Your impunity is ending.
That's why Israel is murdering journalists in Gaza. You are trying to blind the eyes of the world. But we see you.
