“Dismantling Israel” is not a thing. It is not an international law mechanism. There is no lawful process by which outsiders simply abolish a sovereign state against the will of its people and replace it with some imagined “state for all citizens. Israel is a UN member state. It has sovereignty, territorial integrity, a population, institutions, borders to defend, and the right of self-defence like every other state. So when people say “dismantle Israel,” they are usually hiding the operative question: by what means? Because if the citizens of Israel do not consent to the abolition of their state, then “dismantling” it requires coercion. And in the real world, in that region, with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Islamic Jihad, and a century of violence against Jewish sovereignty, coercion means war, displacement, domination, and worse. South Africa was not abolished. Apartheid was abolished. Ending a racial hierarchy inside a state is not the same thing as dissolving the national self-determination of the Jewish people in the Middle East and pretending everyone will magically receive equal rights the next morning.

I do not ever want to become an election truther but how on earth does Raman completely annihilate Bass in these drops while her election day support was a very solid third place well behind both of them.

This is a female shame technique. She’s attempting to signal to the audience that the guy is “weird”. It’s how the entire media apparatus operates.

Best history book you've read

Even Arab leaders admit it. Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see. Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective. Ok, so let us set that aside. Now watch this. In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada. Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance. He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises. The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978. This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel. When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias. The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return. This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today. If you value the truth, please share.

@AliAbunimah @Antonio_Tajani @ItalyinIsrael @gidonsaar they killed Hamas terror commander Muhanad Farwana so the strike was proportionate under IHL

@Antonio_Tajani @ItalyinIsrael @gidonsaar This is terror, backed by Italy.

Condanno con fermezza l'attacco terroristico di Hamas avvenuto oggi in #Israele 🇮🇱, nella regione di Sharon. Esprimo solidarietà alle vittime e alle loro famiglie, e vicinanza a @gidonsaar e alle autorità israeliane. Il terrorismo non è mai giustificato: nessuna causa politica, nessun conflitto, nessuna rivendicazione può legittimare il massacro di civili innocenti. Il dialogo è l'unica strada per una pace duratura.

@Ravi70429180 @MouinRabbani are you saying that european nations are as primitive as muslim countries lol

@GenocideSmurf @MouinRabbani Wrong. Europeans themselves were barbarians and hence could not have brought anybody out of it.

Israel flunkies are now going back in history to whitewash earlier colonial conquests and genocides in an effort to whitewash their own criminal enterprise. As with their own history, they also fabricate an invented past to make their case. Contrary to the claim below, the French conquest of Algeria had nothing to do with the enslavement of Europeans and Americans. For centuries, corsairs, or state-sponsored pirates, operated throughout the Mediterranean. North African corsairs captured European (and later American) ships, seizing their cargo and capturing their crew and passengers in order to enslave or ransom them. European corsairs similarly captured Ottoman and other ships and enslaved or ransomed their crews and passengers. The various corsairs also raided and plundered coastal settlements in southern Europe and northern Africa. By the time French troops occupied Algiers in 1830, the seizure of US ships had already ended as a result of the Barbary Wars. North African corsairs had stopped attacking US ships in 1805 at the conclusion of the First Barbary War, but had resumed their activities during the War of 1812 after they were encouraged to attack American shipping by Britain. The attacks on US ships definitively ceased in 1815 with the end of the Second Barbary War. The French invaded Algeria, then known as the Regency of Algiers, in 1830. By that time both North African and European corsairs had already largely ceased operations. The proximate cause of the French conquest of Algeria is what was known as the Bakri-Busnach Affair. Two Algerian merchants, Bakri and Busnach, had during the Napoleonic Wars supplied the French military with large amounts of grain. Napoleon refused to pay his bills, as well as others incurred by previous French governments to the duo’s company. As a result the merchants were unable to repay the large loans they had taken from the ruler of Algiers to finance their dealings with France. The Affair was therefore not just a commercial dispute between Algerian merchants and their French clients, but also a diplomatic one between the governments of Algiers and France. Bakri and Busnach were Sephardic Jews, whose families had found refuge in Algiers after their expulsion from Spain. At one point their company sent two representatives, Jacob Cohen Bakri and Simon Abousaya, to France to collect their debts and use the funds to settle their loan. Instead of paying up, the French authorities arrested them. Intervention by Algiers secured their release, and also an agreement to settle the debt. The French however declined to fulfil their commitments, and further efforts by Algiers and the merchants to recoup their losses similarly came to nothing. Tensions increased further when Algiers suspected Paris and the merchants were colluding to deprive Algiers of funds it was owed, and thereby weaken it vis-à-vis France. In 1827, in what came to be known as the Fly Whisk Incident, the Algerian ruler Hussain Dey hit the French Consul, Pierre Deval, in the face with a fly whisk at a public gathering, and ordered him out, in exasperation at being informed by Deval that there had been no progress in the Affair. For good measure Deval had also made various disparaging remarks about Islam and Muslims. Paris seized upon this as a casus belli, at a time when the French monarch, Charles X, was facing increasing domestic challenges and eager to divert attention to a patriotic campaign abroad. Fortified by support from Istanbul and Britain, Hussain refused to apologise, and the subsequent French blockade did more damage to French commerce in Marseille than to Algiers. The crisis was ultimately resolved by the French occupation of Algiers in 1830. By the time France consolidated its rule over Algeria in 1875, between 500,000 and one million Algerians, out of a total population of some three million, lay dead. Many scholars describe the French pacification campaign as a genocidal war. The above details notwithstanding, France’s motivations in seizing Algeria were ultimately no different than those that led it and other European powers to occupy and colonize other territories around the globe. It had everything to do with France’s commercial interests and its rivalries with other powers, and absolutely nothing to do with what it liked to call "La mission civilisatrice". The pretensions of Israel flunkies aside, it is useful to bear in mind that colonialism and its associated crimes is infinitely more vile than the worst of its victims.

@bobbyknucksss @kaspars_gasuns @MouinRabbani I see you don’t get it

@GenocideSmurf @kaspars_gasuns @MouinRabbani Here you are, a philosemite emulating an antisemite 😍🤞

@feelsdesperate @NumarPatru “Red Sea Pedestrian for Palestine” is so on the nose for this

@NumarPatru QED

Imagine thinking that coming from an affluent background means anything since the 1980s

Imagine being Al Franken right now

@MeghanEMurphy This is obviously untrue: there’s a certain segment of the population (both sexes) who enjoy other people watching and filming them having sex.

No they don’t you actual retard. No woman enjoys doing porn

@EthanLevins2 Iran legalized pedophilia

Iran supports religion, family values, tradition, and sovereignty.

Firstly, the islamic regime in Iran legalised paedophilia. 9 year olds can be married off to old men with their father's consent. This is not up for debate. Before 1979 the age of marriage was 18. Secondly, If you are gay and the islamic regime catches you, you have two choices: 1) Be executed 2) Become trans and do the sex change surgery even though you don't have gender dysphoria. Iran has some of the highest numbers of trans surgeries in the world, because Shia islam forbids homosexuality but allows "trans heterosexual" relationships. There is an astonishing number of involuntary transmen and transwoman who became that way to not be killed. Any Iranian can confirm this is how it works there. If you truly believe the above are traditional family values, you're actually retarded or just evil.

@bobbyknucksss @kaspars_gasuns @MouinRabbani it has joycean levels of triple meaning

@GenocideSmurf @kaspars_gasuns @MouinRabbani If it was ironic yeah, but I’m afraid it’s too on the nose 😉

@ryangrim Commieslop

Timely book

@bobbyknucksss @kaspars_gasuns @MouinRabbani You know you love it

@GenocideSmurf @kaspars_gasuns @MouinRabbani “Joy Goo” eh

@DebBrow16344984 @briantashman This is nonsense. Just media hysteria over a tiny regional conflict with a relatively low death toll.

@GenocideSmurf @briantashman Horse shit, Israel’s behavior has turned the world against them, they don’t deserve any support, they should face the consequences of their actions.

Most Moral Army in the World in the last 24 hours: - Shot a baby in the head - Beat up a random man in a pogrom - Bombed Lebanese soldiers hours after announcing a truce - Whistleblower admits they mostly kill unarmed people And now Congress wants to merge our two militaries

Reading “Lolita” on the bus and muttering “Ohhhh Humbert, you ARE a silly goose aren’t you!” so everyone knows I disapprove
