⏳The transition of Soviet propaganda from overt antisemitism to "antizionism" on the international stage was a strategic move aimed at exporting state ideology while maintaining the image of a fighter against racism. This process can be traced through the following key stages and facts: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Antisemitism #Israel #AntizionismIsAntisemitism #StopAntisemitism #SovietPropaganda #Jewish #Zionism #History

In 1977, the head of the PLO's military department gave an interview to a Dutch newspaper and said something that should have changed everything. He said Palestinian identity is emphasized for political reasons only. That a separate Palestinian identity exists for tactical reasons. That there are no real differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. His name was Zuher Mohsin. He wasn't a dissident. He wasn't breaking ranks. He was one of the architects of the movement and he said the quiet part out loud. Eight years earlier, Golda Meir had said the same thing and been destroyed for it. But that's not even the beginning of the story. The PLO was founded in 1964. Three years before Israel controlled the West Bank or Gaza. Whatever it was built to liberate, it wasn't land Israel acquired in 1967. Before Arafat, there was no Palestinian national identity. Not because the people weren't real. Because the identity hadn't been built yet. And Arafat built it the same way you build a city — founding story first, then institutions, symbols, a flag, a claim of ancient dispossession, and enough foreign funding to make it stick.

Warum genau werden dem mörderischen Steinzeit-Mullah-Regime im Iran nun von Friedrich Merz Lockerungen der Sanktionen in Aussicht gestellt? Belohnung für was? Ermordung zehntausender Demonstranten? Verminung von internationalen Gewässern und Beschuss ziviler Handelsschiffe?

Stop giving them the "stupid" alibi. Ignorance is an accident; this is a highly profitable business model. Brussels doesn’t run on naive ideals or human rights, it runs on Gulf crude and Qatari wire transfers. They aren't detached from reality, they are just reading from a script bought and paid for by petrodollars.

🇪🇺💥 Es increíble el nivel de estupidez que portan los líderes de la Unión Europea. Ya no solo débiles e irrelevantes, sino alienados totalmente de la realidad. La representante para los asuntos exteriores de Europa, Kaja Kallas, afirmó desde Bruselas su compromiso por la solución de dos estados para alcanzar la paz entre los palestinos e Israel. Nada más ridículo que esto y te lo explico: 1) El parteaguas en Oriente Medio es, desde hace muchos años, el tema nuclear y la defensa. No el estado palestino. Los principales desinteresados en esto son los propios países árabes, especialmente aquellos como Jordania, Líbano o Siria que expulsaron a los palestinos, en distintos momentos, porque estos querían montar un Estado palestino. 2) Nadie en Europa responde la pregunta de a qué líder entregarle un Estado palestino. A Hamas en Gaza? Fatah en Judea y Samaria? Esto no es poca cosa considerando que los palestinos son marionetas de los yihadistas de Irán. 3) Nadie en Europa ve más allá del tema territorial. Un absurdo. Kaja Kallas insiste en que esto se resuelve con la entrega tierras, pero lo cierto es que, si esto fuera así, el tema se hubiese resuelto hace muchos años cuando Israel propuso entregar toda la Franja de Gaza y casi todo Judea y Samaria. Los palestinos no aceptaron y llamaron a la intifada. 4) Los líderes europeos hablan de una seguridad que no tienen ni siquiera dentro de Europa y que, por la irrelevancia que portan, poco o nada tienen para aportar en la seguridad de Israel. De hecho, el mensaje desde Bruselas es patéticamente claro: castigar la defensa de Israel mientras se evita luchar o se apoya la expansión terrorista y desestabilizadora de Irán. 5) Evitan asumir que la fórmula de los dos estados ya se intentó y en todo momento llevó al fracaso: el 7 de octubre de 2023, durante la peor masacre terrorista reciente de los palestinos, los muertos y heridos los puso Israel y no Europa. Lo mismo ocurrió durante intifada de los 2000 o de 1980. 6) Cuando los palestinos tuvieron una oportunidad real de “estado” en la Franja de Gaza lo convirtieron en una base para la Yihad contra Israel. De hecho, por su propia naturaleza, son los mismos palestinos los primeros desinteresados en un estado propio! La victimización y complicidad de los europeos les aseguró, durante años, un negocio muy rentable! -Luciano Mondino-

How wonderful! Welcome home! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 A plane carrying 240 people from India’s Benei Menashe Community is making Aliyah to Israel.

Macron, obsédé par Israël Où vous découvrez que Paris en veut aux Libanais qui ont accepté une prolongation du cessez le feu et n’ont pas demandé le retrait israélien Comme avec la Syrie, Macron a cherché à attiser la haine avant de s’intéresser à la paix annahar.com/lebanon/303344…

Why does anyone believe anything these people say, even doctors (if indeed he is a doctor)? And if the conditions in Gaza are so bad why do they need to resort to AI? Mind you, the people posting stuff like this aren’t as dumb as the people believing it. Maybe that’s what they’re counting on.

Let's compare how Jews behave at weddings and how Palestinians behave at weddings - wIth chairs.

The druse are under attack and nobody seems to care. The Kurds are under attack and no one seems to care. The Iranian people are under attack and nobody seems to care. Why? Because if you can’t blame Israel then nobody cares.

Was ist @_FriedrichMerz eigentlich für eine Politikersimulation als @bundeskanzler? Kann man den als Oppositionsführer vielleicht wieder zurückhaben, wo er noch Eier und einen Kompass hatte? zeit.de/politik/deutsc…

If Zionism is against coexistence, then how come individuals like Dalia Ziada who describe themselves as Zionists make arguments in favour of coexistence?

It didn’t start or end on Oct 7 when a leaked staff memo said to avoid “terrorist” to describe the things that raped, tortured, murdered & kidnapped Israelis. @CBCnews would take a neutral stance on killers & killed. Bad enough. It’s clear that CBC isn’t neutral. It hates Jews.

I’ve been saying it for years — the idea of rewarding and actually incentivizing antisemitism and extremism is going to end up getting people killed. It’s like a digital and ideological ‘pay for slay’ program. I’m glad to see @X and @elonmusk cracking down on this.

After Hezbollah broke the ceasefire and launched suicide drones at northern Israel today, the Israeli Air Force responded tonight and launched airstrikes against several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. The ceasefire is very brittle and fighting may resume soon.

For the third time, Pakistan failed. Islamabad is no place for talks. It has never been neutral and has far too much in common with the Islamic regime in Iran. The Arab lobby delivered. Thank you, Trump, for canceling Witkoff and Kushner. You saw the regime’s weakness when it sent its foreign ministry begging in Islamabad. Perfect timing. America walked away. Never negotiate with terrorists. Eliminate every single one of them.

🚨A reminder to those who don’t understand how the situation in Mali can turn out. In 1989, Afghanistan celebrated the Soviet withdrawal. The “mujahideen” had won. The superpower had fled. And then (that’s the key) they turned on each other. Abdullah Azzam was the ideological father of the Afghan jihad. Palestinian scholar. Recruited thousands. Built the network that would become Al-Qaeda. He was Osama Bin Laden's mentor. On November 24, 1989 a car bomb killed Azzam and both his sons in Peshawar. Who ordered it? The evidence points to Bin Laden himself (or those close to him). Why? Because Bin Laden wanted global jihad, a permanent war machine with no borders and no end. Two visions. One movement. One outcome: the mentor had to die. This is what radical ideology does. It doesn't just fight the "enemy”, It devours its own, anyone who stands in the way of total control. We saw it with the MB in Sudan. We saw it with Hamas vs. Fatah. We see it everywhere these movements take root. They don't build. They consume. And when there's no enemy left, they eat each other. The same will happen in Mali, just watch.

Today’s massive Al-Qaeda (JNIM) offensive in Mali shows that Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and northern Nigeria are all in danger of falling under total control of jihadist control. However, Sudan is another nearby state which could also become fully controlled by Islamists, and some sense is already very far down that path. This map below shows the states where Islamist have had partial control of the state, been close to taking control of the state through civil war or where they currently control large swaths of territory. The Muslim Brotherhood has had a very strong grip on Sudan for decades, and the islamist fighters they provide for General Al-Burhan and the Sudanese Armed Forces in the civil war only strengthen their hand in that country. Following the Arab Spring, Muslim Brotherhood-controlled parties came to power in Egypt and Tunisia, but were quickly outmanoeuvred by the military and other autocratic forces respectively. As already mentioned, Al-Qaeda or ISIS-aligned forces are on the verge of taking control of large parts of the junta-led states Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso which have created the anti-Western and pro-Russin military pact called “Alliance of Sahel States” (AES). The main Islamist threat there, the Al-Qaeda-aligned JNIM group has maintained its transnational jihadist character, unlike the Islamist forces in control of Afghanistan and Syria. This means that there a large spillover risk, with JNIM likely having ambitions to further invade Guinea, Chad and northern Nigeria if they manage to take power in the AES states. Islamist forces played a key role in the civil wars in Libya and Algeria while they currently hold large swaths of territory in both Somalia and Mozambique. And in the middle of it all is Sudan, from where Muslim Brotherhood-style Islamism can radiate across the region. It’s not a coincidence that Osama bin Laden made Sudan the man base of Al-Qaeda in the 1990s. Today, the Muslim Brotherhood wields significant influence in the country by being deeply embedded in the country’s army (SAF) as well as through its powerful own armed group, the al-Baraa Bin Malik Brigade. Its 20,000 Islamist fighters have been backed by Iranian IRGC training and drones, providing an interesting example of how the Islamic Regime in Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood cooperate globally. Alarmed by the Islamist advance in Sudan, the U.S. designated the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization last month. Meanwhile, the EU has applied only targeted sanctions on select individuals and entities, wary of complicating aid or diplomacy by terror-listing the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood. During the Berlin Conference on Sudan which took place on April 15, the EU managed to lead the way for a 1.5B aid pledge for Sudan (the EU’s share is €812M). During the conference, the EU again made it clear that it doesn’t want to take action against the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, but instead wants to strengthens Sudan’s democratic movement (the Sumud Alliance) & have the so-called ​“Quintet” play a larger role in pushing the warring factions to accelerate the peace process. The Quintet on Sudan is composed of 5 major international & regional organizations:   - The African Union (AU) - The United Nations (UN) - TheEuropean Union (EU) - The Arab League (LAS) - The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)  IGAD is in turn a regional economic bloc consisting of 8 nations across the Horn of Africa, the Nile Valley and the African Great Lakes:   - Djibouti - Ethiopia - Kenya - Somalia - Sudan - Uganda - Eritrea - South Sudan The EU’s focus on multilateral diplomacy Is important but it doesn’t excuse the unwillingness to terror-list the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood. As its northern neighbor, and affected by mass-immigration from the south, Europe must do more than eradicate the Islamist threat from the northern part of the African continent. ISIS, AQ and the MB must not be allowed to control territory

🪖🇫🇷Pourquoi l’arc chiite cible-t-il la France, pourtant son principal allié occidental ? Contexte: Emmanuel Macron est proche de la famille Saadé, propriétaire du groupe de transport CMA CGM et de la chaîne BFMTV. Selon le journaliste Georges Malbrunot (Le Figaro), le président français aurait négocié, au bénéfice de CMA CGM, des avantages liés à la gestion ou à la reconstruction du port de Beyrouth, en échange d’un appui politique de la France au Hezbollah (proxy de l'Iran). Il est d’ailleurs notable que les navires de CMA CGM aient figuré parmi les rares porte-conteneurs occidentaux autorisés à franchir le détroit d’Ormuz. Et que les medias mainstream🇫🇷reprennent le narratif iranien. L’Iran, ses milices affiliées (notamment irakiennes) et le Hezbollah sont parmi les principaux acteurs mondiaux des trafics (armes, drogues, contrebande), dont la survie dépend du contrôle de ports, de routes maritimes et de chaînes logistiques. Réponse : mépris né de notre perte de crédibilité Les dirigeants du Hezbollah, du régime iranien et de leurs milices alliées agissent avant tout comme des acteurs mafieux, pour lesquels la violence est un instrument banal de gestion des contraintes. Toute présence susceptible d’entraver leurs flux, y compris des soldats français, est traitée comme un obstacle à éliminer. Cette logique est renforcée par le mépris stratégique dans lequel ils tiennent la France. Plus de soixante soldats français ont été tués par des actions imputables à cet axe mais Emmanuel #Macron est venu vers eux pour passer un marché. Le message perçu est limpide: les intérêts économiques priment sur la vie des soldats. Ils savent également que le président français parle beaucoup mais agit peu, qu’il ne s’inscrit pas dans une logique de puissance crédible. Le fait que des soldats français aient été tués délibérément et avec préméditation, sans la moindre riposte, alors même qu’un groupe aéronaval français, le Charles de Gaulle, se trouvait à proximité immédiate du Liban, en est la preuve. Le Hezbollah a attaqué sans peur car il savait que la France de #Macron ne riposterait pas.
