Natasha Devon, "I hear this accusation all the time, that anti racism groups don't do enough to include Jewish people" "I just want to try and pour some clarity on that if I can" "When the appalling stabbing happened, Keir Starmer called a COBR meeting. He brought together some leading thinkers to ask what more could be done to tackle antisemitism. The Met police called for more funding to protect Jewish communities. The media gave it pretty much its undiverted attention for days" "That is the correct response" "That response did not happen when a Muslim woman was targeted by a hit and run" "When a Sikh woman was sexually assaulted by a racist who thought she was Muslim" "Or when 50 mosques were targeted between Juen and October 2025" "We don't see the same response" "Antiracism campaigners are looking at where they are needed" "When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish communities we have the correct response" "When it happens to other communities: women, LGBT, black people, Muslims, not the same urgency is applied"

Hey so, I'm a vegan, and I have spent a good portion of my life helping animals, so I hope that you hear me when I say I find it monstrous to even attempt to judge the eating and hunting habits of people experiencing an active genocide. They are being intentionally starved.

An Arab scholar in 1011 was placed under house arrest in Cairo for 10 years. He used the time to invent the scientific method, prove how vision actually works, and write a 7-volume book that Newton studied 600 years later. I read about him last night and could not stop thinking about it. His name was Ibn al-Haytham. The book is called the "Book of Optics." The textbook story names Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes as the founders of modern science. All three of them came 600 years after Ibn al-Haytham. All three of them studied his work directly or through Latin translations. The man who actually invented the scientific method was working alone in a single room in Cairo while Europe was still in the Dark Ages. Here is the story almost nobody tells you. He was born in Basra around 965 CE. By his 40s he had a reputation across the Arab world as one of the most original minds alive. Then he made the mistake that almost killed him. He claimed publicly that he could regulate the flooding of the Nile. The mad caliph al-Hakim of Cairo summoned him to Egypt to do it. Ibn al-Haytham took one look at the river and realized the project was impossible with the technology of his era. The caliph had executed dozens of scholars for less. So he faked madness. The caliph believed him and put him under house arrest in his own home in Cairo for the next 10 years. Most people would have lost their actual mind. He used the time to invent science. Before him, knowledge worked one way. You quoted authority. If Aristotle had said it, it was true. If Galen had written it, it was correct. The role of a scholar was to memorize and defend the ancient Greeks. I Ibn al-Haytham broke this completely. He wrote a sentence in the Book of Optics that quietly destroyed 1,400 years of intellectual culture. "The seeker after truth," he said, "is not the one who follows his natural disposition to trust the writings of the ancients. The seeker after truth is the one who suspects them, questions them, and submits only to argument and experiment." That single sentence is the foundation of modern science. He wrote it 600 years before the European Renaissance. The second thing he did was build the actual machinery of experimentation. He insisted that no claim about the physical world was acceptable until it had been verified by an experiment anyone could repeat. He gave detailed instructions for every experiment in his book. He told his readers, in writing, not to take his word for any of it. Build the equipment. Run the tests yourself. Verify or destroy my claims with your own eyes. The third thing he did was use the method to overturn one of the most settled questions in physics. The Greeks had taught for centuries that vision worked because the eye emitted invisible rays. Ibn al-Haytham proved them wrong with a darkened room, a small hole, and a wall. The first camera obscura. He showed that light from the outside world enters the eye, the exact opposite of what every Greek thinker had taught. Two hundred years later his book was translated into Latin in Spain. Roger Bacon cited him. Kepler cited him. Galileo's work on the telescope was built on his optics. Newton's foundational work on light rested on his framework. Walk into any physics department today. Ask who founded the scientific method. Almost nobody will say Ibn al-Haytham. The man who invented the way humanity actually knows things did the work under house arrest, with no funding, no laboratory, and a paranoid caliph next door waiting for an excuse to kill him. He did it anyway. Most of the world is still pretending it was someone else's idea.

This is astonishing and should be reported by every media outlet in the country. David Cameron, the then Foreign Secretary, reportedly threatened to defund the ICC and withdraw from the Rome Statute if an arrest warrant for Netanyahu was issued. Cameron must be investigated.

The Falklands are now defended by a substantial and well-armed British garrison, Typhoon jets and the formidable Sky Sabre air defence system. Plus provision for rapid reinforcements. None of that existed in 1982. There’s no way Argentina could just ‘walk in and take over.’

@jacknassar33 @theafroaussie Here is my Christian great grandfather and his family in the 1930s, in front of their home in Jerusalem which was stolen in 1948 and lived in by Golda Meir. My family traces back to Nablus in the 1500s, and now none live in Palestine, and that is because of Zionism

Hi Shay, I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them too. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression. But I'm not a Zionist. I'm an anti-Zionist. That's because Zionism was an ideology that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 97%+ non-Jewish. What could possibly go wrong? A short summary: That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. palestinenexus.com/articles/origi… and palestinenexus.com/articles/origi… That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. jstor.org/stable/10.1525… That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. archive.org/details/birtho… That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity archive.org/details/israel… That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe… That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. archive.org/details/1967is… That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe… The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians. That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization (@ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy. Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide. So, please don't conflate Judaism -- that has existed for thousands of years -- with your modern, fascist anti-Jewish political ideology founded on the principles of forcible displacement & genocide. Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Zionism is imploding in real time.

"Palestine before Zionism: A golden Age?" The article covers the period, 1860s-1910s, when Jews, Muslims & Christians were experiencing a golden age in Palestine: Social Life ▶️ In Jerusalem, Tiberias & Hebron: Jews, Muslims and Christians lived on the same streets, shopped at the same stores, frequented the same bathhouses, shared residential courtyards ▶️ Jews had Muslim physicians & vice versa; Muslims were invited over for Shabbat dinner. Muslim girls learned Judeo-Spanish from their Sephardi Jewish neighbors. ▶️ Christian musicians played at Jewish weddings & Jews performed at Muslim and Christian weddings. Jews, ▶️ Jews, Muslims & Christians started going to Ottoman schools as well as the Israelite Alliance schools, ▶️Palestine’s Jews and Christians used Muslim religious courts to settle disputes among themselves. ▶️ Jews formed business partnerships with Muslims in the wheat, livestock and dairy industries ▶️ Muslim & Jewish children from one courtyard would defend one another against Muslim and Jewish children from another courtyard. ▶️ Muslim and Jewish women also breastfed one another’s babies in the event of a death or if the mother was unable to nurse. Religious Life: ▶️ Muslim & Christian children dressed up for Jewish holiday of Purim ▶️ Twice a year, Muslims & Christians joined Jewish celebrations at the shrine of Simon the Just in Sheikh Jarrah, with music, festivities, singing, etc. ▶️ Christians and Muslims merged Orthodox Easter with the Muslim Nabi Musa Pilgrimage, with Jews joining in the national festivities. ▶️ Fire Saturday was combined with Muslim folk festivals. There were Muslim processions on Palm Sunday, starting at the Abrahamic Mosque in Hebron heading toward Jerusalem. ▶️ All three communities shared common holy sites, like the tombs of Nebi Samuel and Nebi Rubin. ▶️ Jews & Muslims exchanged gifts on the last day of the Jewish holiday of Passover. Muslims gave their Jewish friends a round copper bowl, laden with fresh bread, goats’ butter and honey, while Jews gave back the same copper bowl with matzot and home-made jam. Jewish Arabs ▶️ Christians, Muslims and even Jews all embraced an Arab consciousness. ▶️ Palestine's Jews were roughly half Sephardi Jews who spoke Arabic, a minority of Moghrabi Jews spoke Arabic as a native language and some wrote in Arabic as well, such as Shimon Moyal and Nissim Malul, even established a short-lived Arabic newspaper. ▶️ One native Jew said in 1902, “we knew Arabic and conversed freely with our Arab neighbors, but Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) was our mother tongue.” ▶️ ~300 Jews in Tiberias were described as Yahūd evlād-ı ʿArab, or “Jewish sons of the Arabs” or “Jewish children of the Arabs" in a 1914 Ottoman military conscription registry document. The entry was validated with the signet stamp of Yaakov Neḥmad, who identified himself as muḫtār-i evvel, the head of a local community bearing the same designation. ▶️ Christian writers at the time such as Khalil Sakakini & Wasif Jawhariyyeh referred to the native Jews of Palestine as “sons of the country” (‘abna’ al-balad’), “compatriots” or “Jews, sons of Arabs,” (“Yahud awlad Arab”) in their diaries and autobiographies. The community was also known as “ha-‛am ha-yisra’eli” (‘the Israelite people’) or “yahadut falestinit,” “Palestinian Jews,” or “Ivrim” (Hebrews). Jewish, Muslim & Christian Ottomans ▶️ Palestine’s religious communities also united around Ottomanism, a political vision based on shared civic values ▶️ The slogan of the revolution was  Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Justice, and the CUP called for a constitution, freedom of the press, democratic elections and the centralization of the empire ▶️ In elections held in the 1910s, Jewish (Zionist) Ottomans like David Yellin & Muslim Ottomans (anti-Zionists) like Ruhi al-Khalidi, loyaly served the CUP side by side ▶️ Similarly, Palestinian Arab newspapers like Filastin & Jewish Sephardi newspapers like ha-Herut both supported the CUP. ▶️ The opposition party, known as the Decentralization Party (Hizb al-Lamarkaziyya), was much less popular in Palestine, but nevertheless attracted Jewish, Muslim and Christian members. No society with religious diversity is without religious tension. But late Ottoman Palestine was a world before the Zionist movement had tainted relations between Palestine’s religious communities, and it offers us a taste of what a world without Zionism could look like once again.

Gaza mass grave display appears to appropriate Holocaust imagery ahead of Yom Hashoah.

@DrStrangetwit @yashar I agree, Arabs originally called it is the Persian sea/gulf, like they call the Mediterranean the Roman sea, describing the body of water after the nation that lives the other side of it.

@yashar There is a beautiful Arabian Gulf throughout cartographic history, in all modern and ancient languages Make the #ArabianGulf what it always was historically again ⬇️

There are very few things Iranians — no matter where they live or what their political positions are — agree upon. This is one of those few things: it is the Persian Gulf and will always be the Persian Gulf. It has been that way for over 2,500 years, and it will never change.

We will not forget. Israel was created on Palestinian land as a result of a series of massacres and ongoing land theft. The ethnic cleansing continues and spreads even beyond Palestine.
