@Yusefeid2 first you said there's "no way they were at odds with begin" (you know full well they were) and now you've changed it to "barred him from office for life". moving the goalposts because you got caught speaking shit? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@BoxLoner No way clearly that must’ve meant he was barred from ever participating in the Zionist political system, and surely was never elected Prime Minister nor did he create the party of Benjamin Netanyahu, right? Oh wait.😂😂😂😂

Didn't realise people who say shit like this were allowed in the "Pro-Palestinian" camp :OOOOO

@Yusefeid2 Yes? The Jewish Agency and Haganah condemned the massacre and a few months later, Ben-Gurion ordered an attack on an arms vessel when Begin was onboard, killing over a dozen of his men. You should probably just read Einstein's speech notes that I linked. You'll hate him lol

@BoxLoner No way they were at odds with the “freedom party “ being proud of the massacres they committed? I am so shocked. Clearly that didn’t change him being on board with the settler colonial project right? Right???

@Yusefeid2 At the time he said this, the rest of the Yishuv (including his Labour Zionist friends) were at odds with Begin, and even ended up firing on them during the war tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@BoxLoner What do you mean he literally called Menachem Begin’s “Freedom Party”Nazis “ a political party closely a kid in its organization, methods, political, psychology, and social appeal to the Nazi and fascist parties”

As I write and document quite explicitly in the piece, Einstein was a binationalist before Israel's founding (as were many notable Zionists!), but then became a supporter of Israel once it was established in 1948. He hosted Israel's first prime minister David Ben Gurion at his home in 1951. When he turned down the Israeli presidency in 1952, he referred to the country as "our state of Israel." Do you think they would have offered the job to an enemy? In reality, Einstein was an ally of the socialist government in power and a harsh critic of the Israeli right that opposed it -- which was actually a problem, because the presidency is supposed to be nonpartisan. Einstein regularly lambasted the Israeli right, not Israel or the Zionist project, which is quite clear if one actually reads the critical statements and who he refers to. In 1955, in one of his last interviews, Einstein said "I have great hopes for the future of the Jewish state." haaretz.com/2014-05-22/ty-… The last speech Einstein composed was intended to mark the 7th anniversary of Israel's founding, and he wrote it in conjunction with Abba Eban, Israel's ambassador to the United States (not the sort of thing an anti-Zionist would do). Explaining his idea in a letter to the embassy, Einstein wrote that "a somewhat critical attitude concerning the behavior of the world powers toward Israel and the Arab states could have a salutary influence. It is easier for me to say those things than for any person connected officially with organized Jewish life. To do this well it has to be carefully prepared in cooperation with responsible Israelis." Einstein died days before Israel's Independence Day, but we have the text of the undelivered speech. In it, Einstein wrote: "The establishment of the State of Israel was internationally approved and recognized largely for the purpose of rescuing the remnant of the Jewish people from unspeakable horrors of persecution and oppression. Another purpose was to provide conditions in which the spiritual and cultural life of a Hebrew society could find free expression. Thus the establishment of Israel is an event which actively engages the conscience of this generation. It is, therefore, a bitter paradox to find that a state which was destined to be a shelter for a martyred people is itself threatened by grave dangers to its own security. The universal conscience cannot be indifferent to such a peril." He also wrote: "It is anomalous that world opinion should only criticise Israel's response to hostility and should not actively seek to bring an end to the Arab hostility which is the root cause of the tension." And, as Einstein always did, he closed with an appeal for peace, coupling his defense of Israel with this conclusion: "International policies for the Middle East should be dominated by efforts to secure peace in Israel and its neighbors." He never stopped advocating for Israeli-Arab peace, and raised the same point in that final interview cited above. To him, all these sentiments were not contradictory but complementary. web.archive.org/web/2014090317… He bequeathed his intellectual assets and likeness to Hebrew University. One does not need to align with Einstein's approach to Israel and Zionism to acknowledge the reality of what it actually was. Einstein was a physicist who died in 1955, not some oracle on world politics, and it is perfectly reasonable to disagree today with his views on these and many other subjects. What is not reasonable is to adulterate those views in service of a contemporary ideological agenda. All of this material is either explicitly discussed or linked in the article. I'm a little confused and surprised that you missed it.

@kingofmauretan1 do you think the majority of people in eastern europe want their countries to become SSRs or not?

this guy thinks people in democracies could vote to change their state into an SSR

In case you ever wonder why USSR apologists always leave a gap between the March referendum and the dissolution in December👇 Plenty of the former Soviet states are democracies and could bring back that model if they ever want to. Of course, none of them have

قرارات مجلس الوزراء: - اولا: التقدم بشكوى عاجلة الى مجلس الأمن الدولي عن تصاعد الاعتداءات الإسرائيلية على لبنان وتوسعها بالأمس يوم الأربعاء في ٨ نيسان، ولا سيما في العاصمة بيروت، مما أدى الى وقوع عدد كبير من الضحايا المدنيين ويأتي هذا التصعيد بمواجهة كل المساعي الدولية والإقليمية لوقف الحرب في المنطقة ويضرب عرض الحائط مبادئ القانون الدولي والقانون الدولي الإنساني بل يتمادى في خرقها. ثانيا: سنداً لوثيقة الوفاق الوطني المعروفة باتفاق الطائف، وقرارات مجلس الوزراء ذات الصلة، وحفاظاً على سلامة المواطنين وأمنهم وممتلكاتهم يطلب الى الجيش والقوى الأمنية المباشرة فوراً، بتعزيز بسط سيطرة الدولة الكاملة على محافظة بيروت وحصر السلاح فيها بالقوى الشرعية وحدها، والتشدد في تطبيق القوانين واتخاذ التدابير كافة المطلوبة بحق المخالفين وإحالتهم على القضاء المختص.

man I feel bad for the Iranians who trusted the US not to fuck this up spectacularly

Funny he used The Godfather because Brando's response to winning that Oscar would have sent Elon Musk into a spiral for years

my stance was pretty straight forward but i'm yet to hear whether or not @hasanthehun wanted the anti-regime protestors to win in january. should be an easy answer, no?

just the biggest lefty streamer jumping on to a 37 like tweet about me because he's definitely above the slop 🫠

@hasanthehun @polcc_aids @kuihman @IrrationalChad the regime needs to go but the way trump et al are trying to make it happen is insane and immoral. not that complicated. it would have been much better if the protestors had succeeded in january, right hasan?

@polcc_aids @BoxLoner @kuihman @IrrationalChad theyre gaining sentience! i welcomed development. im being totally sincere, this is healthy intellectual curiosity

We did it guys! 🙂🇺🇦📦 Half of the stuff delivered. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this possible. Special shout out to @BoxLoner as in his stream this whole enterprise was initiated by Mina 👏

@shoe0nhead @allenanalysis Seems more likely it came from Hezbollah in Beirut, no? #0000019c-bceb-d6c8-a1de-feeba2ea0000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

🚨 The UK Ministry of Defence just confirmed the drone that hit their base in Cyprus was not launched from Iran. Not Iran. So who launched it? A British base in Cyprus. A Saudi oil refinery. Turkey. Israel present in all three incidents. Someone is attacking Western and Gulf targets and making it look like Iran — to drag more countries into this war. This is a false flag operation unfolding in real time.

@DenialLaw you are my nuance flesh and my nuance blood 🇱🇧♥️

@BoxLoner 3 hours nuance stream about this thing and its unhinged nature?

Iran gonna drone smash a hotel in Ramallah next

hope bro bags at least a couple of bitcoin for that thing
