Fun fact. Palestinians weren’t called Palestinians until 1968. Bonus fun fact. Before that, Palestinians meant Jews.

@shapicl @Narjes_Rahmati @ABZayed Israel’s Arab citizens already have equal rights so such a law is superfluous/unnecessary nor do you dispute my facts. Equal rights is the reality tho you’ve never been there to see. What nation has a law that says this much anyway? The bill was a political ploy.

@Narjes_Rahmati @ABZayed What’s w/racist Muslim v. #Israel BS. It has brought only bad to Muslims (ironically other than those who live in Israel thriving as doctors, lawyers, professors, IDF soldiers, diplomats, judges, MPs, property owners, university students-you get the drift). UAE met the reality

@ABZayed The UAE is on the wrong side of history because, in order to appease Israel, it is turning away from the Muslims.

@adam_louis52328 Ironically, it's an obsession of the genocide accusers. Weirdly, scholars don't resort to this trope when making accusations concerning genocide of Uyghurs or Armenians or Herero. But the collective "stain" is inseparable from their condemnations of Israel and the Jews.

Adam Louis-Klein@adam_louis52328

The alpha and the omega of genocide is collective guilt, which is also the alpha and the omega of racist libel. It is the coding of a people as inherently guilty regardless of their actions, regardless of counter-evidence, holding them responsible for the alleged actions of individuals. International lawyer Philippe Sands, in his important book East West Street, perhaps goes too far in rejecting Lemkin’s concept of genocide in favor of Lauterpacht’s concept of crimes against humanity. But he nonetheless grasps the central problem: when it comes to guilt, it is individuals who should be held accountable, not collectives. Antizionism does the opposite. It codes Israel, Israelis, and all those marked as “Zionists” as one evil collective. Its claims of genocide are not accusations against specific individuals or organizations. They are codings of this collective as inherently evil. Even if some individuals within Israeli society are guilty of incitement to genocide, the claim that this legitimates the genocide libel—and antizionism’s own genocidal ideology toward Israel—would be equivalent to claiming that genocidal violence by Tutsi elites in Burundi in 1972 against Hutus somehow justified the Hutu genocide against Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994. Antizionism itself is genocidal and morally objectionable. Israel as such cannot be evil. Israelis cannot be inherently evil as a national group. This is racism. And there is no reason to engage with “arguments” whose only content is bigotry.

@DropSiteNews The interviewer was unprepared. #Zionism is the political movement to establish a sovereign Jewish nation in what Jews historically identified as their indigenous homeland. Not that hard. Also, her question was too narrow - should have clarified Israel as a Jewish majority state.

@Aizenberg55 Ironically since 10.7, the narrative is shifting to support the idea that the only solution is an historically anomalous “Palestine” on the territory that is #Israel, J/S & #Gaza, and that Arabs should not be “splitting” “their” land with Jews. That’s the answer I often now get.

📌A video of President Clinton saying, “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a deal; all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. They turned it down. They never wanted peace,” is making the rounds again. Mehdi Hasan responded by telling people to “Google Taba,” referring to the Taba Summit held January 21–27, 2001, just after Clinton left office. The implication is clear: that at Taba, Arafat either accepted a deal or was on the verge of doing so but ran out of time. That narrative is false, and it is disproven by Arafat himself 18 months later. Arafat never said yes at Taba. He didn’t attend, didn’t accept any framework, and didn’t move on core demands like a literal “right of return.” We know this was a central reason he rejected Camp David and the Clinton Parameters, and the claim that the Palestinians were prepared to accept a symbolic or limited return is simply not true (this is clear from the Palestinian reply to the Clinton Parameters). Arafat did not compromise on this point, and he did not accept any deal. Yes, the negotiators, the ones with no power to actually approve any deal, to actually settle the core issues (e.g. refugees) said they were close when the summit ended, but there was thus no deal, no near-deal, and no missed deal due to merely to time. And we know this with certainty because 18 months later, Arafat suddenly claimed he would accept Taba. The Guardian, hardly a pro-Israel outlet, ran the headline: “Arafat approves Taba plan too late,” and reported that Arafat acknowledged the prior offers were not good enough and that he had not accepted any deal at the time. Only afterward did he say he would accept them. If Arafat had truly been ready at Taba, he could have said yes when it actually mattered: under the Clinton Parameters. He had weeks to do so, even after skipping the early January 2001 White House meeting where he was supposed to meet Clinton to accept the deal, despite committing to attend and say yes. Prince Bandar recounts in detail how Arafat left town without giving any answer. This is no longer disputed among the key people involved. Bill Clinton, Dennis Ross, Martin Indyk, Prince Bandar, and even Saeb Erekat all acknowledge the same core fact: Ehud Barak accepted the Clinton Parameters. Arafat did not. Subsequent disclosures have only reinforced this. The Bandar interview, the release of Israel’s formal acceptance, the Palestinian response document, and Clinton’s repeated confirmations all point in the same direction. There was a path to full Palestinian statehood. It was rejected. And the reason this keeps getting rewritten by people like Mehdi Hasan is obvious. This was the pivotal moment. A sovereign Palestinian state was on the table. The conflict could have ended, no more “occupation.” The entire trajectory of the conflict could have been different. And when given another opportunity years later, Mahmoud Abbas did the same with Olmert’s offer, later admitting he walked away.

@Stef1ski @Kasparov63 #Zionism-most successful & strongest national liberation movement that should be emulated by all seeking independence. Had Arabs played their cards right, in addition to #Jordan they could have had a 2d Arab state in Mandate #Palestine but ignorant idiots like u keep them blind

The left's awkward and telling silence, and even some approval, on the violence and repression of the Islamic Republic due to "US/Trump bad, Palestine/Hamas good" is worth calling out. But we have time in the day to be concerned about crackdowns at home, too.
Samantha Smith@SamanthaTaghoy

"There are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech. I'm not at liberty to say which. Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS." The Islamic Regime has cut internet access for 90 million Iranians. But you’ve got nothing to say about that, you odious fool.

@NYCMayor And your BS comments about a genocide in #Gaza as late as your tweet with a photo of you hosting a known antisemite - an accusation that is birthed from classic antisemitic tropes & fantasies, and that is divorced from facts, context, history & dictionary definition of the term.

The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying. My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are shaken by this act of antisemitic violence. I am continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD will continue to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions across the five boroughs.
