The Guardian lists some hilarious illustrations of how fake and made up Australia's "antisemitism crisis" actually is. The royal commission heard examples of "antisemitism" like: • Someone's friend imagined she might be murdered by antisemites at the hospital • Some Jewish people left a Facebook group of psychologists after being told they were "taking the side of the oppressor" in demanding that people not discuss Israel's genocidal atrocities • a nurse wasn't allowed to hang pro-Israel genocide propaganda in the workplace • a trade unionist "felt" she had to step down because younger union members fought union leadership to oppose Israel's war crimes. It's all I felt, I feel, it made me feel. My feelings, my feelings, my feelings. Jewish feelings are treated as so supremely important that upsetting Jews by opposing an active genocide is treated as a hate crime. The victims of genocide are regarded as infinitely less important than a Jewish Australian feeling offended by anti-genocide sentiment in a Facebook group. This is crazy, hysterical bullshit, and it should be treated as such.

"Raw numbers" tell us less than meets the eye. More than three times as many people died during the First World War as during the Holocaust. That doesn't make WWI a genocide. During the Nakba, more than 75% of Palestinians residing in the territory that became Israel were expelled within the space of less than two years, pursuant to a pre-meditated policy of ethnic cleansing implemented on the basis of an organised campaign of state violence. A larger proportion of Jews from Arab countries departed, in a process that unfolded over the course of more than two decades. This reflected multiple reasons, in which a pre-meditated policy of collective expulsion by the relevant governments, and organised campaigns of state violence did not play a significant role. In fact, the only government that had a pre-meditated policy of ensuring their collective departure was that of Israel. That doesn't make it any less of a tragedy, or justify the associated dispossession, which is always illegitimate, but to suggest equivalence between the two, where one was a consequence of the other and had a fundamentally different character, is simply obscene. The claim that Jews claimed Palestine as their homeland for the past several thousand years is similarly erroneous, and on several counts. First, because prior to the emergence of Zionism the Jewish attachment to Palestine took the form of a religious aspiration, to be fulfilled by divine intervention, rather than a national political program. Evidence to the contrary is notable for its absence. Second, because claims of ancient title are irrelevant, have no legal standing, and are additionally impossible to substantiate. As has been pointed out, Fascist Italy claimed Libya on similar pretexts and no one takes it seriously. DNA evidence is highly contested. More importantly it is thoroughly irrelevant. This is not a paternity suit. As for Palestinians citizens of Israel, their growth has not been "spectacularly large", and conforms to the growth of other sectors of the Palestinian population and indeed that of the surrounding Arab societies. Nothing unusual about it.

On raw numbers, one was a near-complete reduction, and the other was not. Yes, I can buy into most of the things you just said as caveats. Some were expelled. Some fled violence. Some faced persecution. Or dispossession. Or rising anti-Jewish discrimination. And some left voluntarily, believing that life in Israel would be better. Fine. But the numbers are brutal: they went from more than a million to less than 30,000. Meanwhile, the growth of Palestinian/Arab citizens of Israel has been spectacularly large. Was the Nakba premeditated: yes, I am not looking to dispute that. As for Switzerland, Palestinians have never made any such claim to that land, and there is no historical basis for it. There is a historical basis to the Jewish claim to the Levant, even if you dispute or reject it, it is based on a widespread and real narrative, and there is plenty of DNA evidence showing Palestinians and all kinds of Jews are related.

I watched your press conference yesterday, @AussenMinDE , and this tweet below is for you. I invite you to come down to South Lebanon to witness the daily ceasefire breaches and war crimes committed by the Israeli army. I also invite you to read a history book about Israeli invasions of Lebanon, which date back to 1948. Hezbollah formed in 1982. Have you ever watched baby teeth of a child beheaded by a missile being picked out of the upholstery of a vehicle after a family in a mini van was killed by the Israeli army? I have. I can show you the footage if you like. Additionally, part of my work has been to monitor the construction and expansion of the bases you mentioned. They are not temporary. I have been closely monitoring each one for 15 months. They’re permanent structures. If you’d like to see progress photos, I’m more than happy to provide them and help to educate you. Lastly, the Israeli army as of last night, has killed almost 3,000 civilians (this figure does not include the deaths of combatants who were in the field during hostilities) since March 2nd. Do your job. Get in touch and come down to see this for yourself instead of blindly supporting the ethnic cleaning of Lebanon.
courtneybonneauimages@cbonneauimages

As a reporter on the ground, @SecRubio , I can tell you unequivocally that the only entity bombing and killing civilians in Lebanon on a daily basis is the Israeli army. Almost 3,000 dead since March 2nd. More than 100 medical professionals. Almost 200 children. All killed by Israel.

@AmericaIsAmalek Literal fucking eugenicist slur, you are literally a white settler and a Nazi yourself Graham Platner could be Netanyahu and the problem would still be the child murder, not the disability, dipshit. Punching down on disabled people to own the libs makes you a liberal too, doofus.

It's actually never okay or appropriate to question how much someone receives in disability benefits, let alone questioning their disabled status itself, instead of questioning their politics directly. There's correct ways to handle disability class traitors and this is not it.
Honorary Jewish Black Man@AmericaIsAmalek

Actually completely insane that Graham Platner is getting paid $5,000 a month by the US government because he supposedly can't work while he owns a business LMAO

I am tired of people in Western countries saying "Palestine is on the ballot" in your local elections. No—it is not. What is on the ballot: trash collections, social care, local jobs, economic growth, energy, etc. Palestine/Israel is a problem for Palestinians and Israelis,

@admcrlsn Honest Q: if I’m a Palestinian NYer outraged over my family’s land being stolen and auctioned off 5k miles away as part of an explicit policy of terror and ethnic cleansing, how would you have me protest in a way that doesn’t “fuel rising antisemitism”? What does this look like?

while much of the online left is talking about leftist antisemitism, and how it's wrong to protest a synagogue hosting an auction of homes in Israeli settlements - I'm happy to one of my best viewed videos ever (and fastest to 300k) is talking about what a dump Israel is

@ryangrim and then Platner signed up to attack Iraq - fought in the worst battles filled with war crimes. Then did two more tours. Switch to the army. Did more crimes in Afghan - then joined Blackwater. Not exactly the victim of the poverty draft or a victim of Bush or Collins was he? 🤡

If you are denying that western Jews as a group are overwhelmingly Zionist, if you are saying western Jews should not be expected to denounce zionism, if you are still enabling the scam that white western Jews are an endangered racialized group. … then I am dismissing you
Fergie Chambers 🇵🇸@jccfergie

If you are advancing any sort of identitarian discourse, aimed at any religious or ethnic group, and you are choosing this sort of orientation over an analysis rooted in dialectical materialism, you are spreading right-wing ideology, and nothing else, and your ideas ought to be discarded wholesale

@Mr_Andrew_Fox What's your field? Who's your advisor? How are you publishing a book while preparing a thesis/defence? The scholarly consensus is very clear that this is a genocide, if you want to disagree so be it, but a thesis is not the same as a peer reviewed paper.

Democrats are making a big mistake going down the anti-Israel foreign policy road, and it will backfire. Our relationship with Israel is not a charity case - it's mutually beneficial (and every liberal dem who has ever worked in national security knows this btw). Terror plots on U.S. soil are often thwarted thanks to intelligence from Israel, but that's just one example of the advantages of the relationship. Those who argue forget why the U.S. cultivates relationships with democracies around the world and why that's central to our foreign policy. It's because WE benefit from that friendship, whether it's through trade, security, or shared values. And that benefit is a force multiplier because it works not just for own safety but toward global stability. (Read more on democratic peace theory.) Only one group of people wins when they see calls to undermine the relationship with Israel: terrorist groups. They are listening and to them, they hear it as a message of encouragement. That doesn't just threaten Israel and our interests in the region, but it threatens us here as well. Terrorist groups are not just after Israel; they are after the West and all its values. Bending to them is the worst thing we can do. So, knowing this, my question to my Democratic friends is - why on earth would anyone give an inch to terrorist groups and extremists? You are about to lose so many national security experts because of this view. Does that not signal something wrong?
