@mcbenaim @CptAllenHistory These signs from 10/8/23 make it crystal clear: they say "Zionsism is genocide". Not anything that Israel did. But the very existence of a Jewish homeland constitutes genocide. The genocide charge is a gigantic scam whose sole purpose is to delegitimize Israel's existence.

On October 8 the protest signs were already printed, carried around through the streets. The IDF had not even begun to respond. Like @CptAllenHistory says here; the genocide accusation was pre-planned.

@fem_mb Albanese needs to be fired.

This is one of the most evil posts I've ever seen. Spanish police beat up the flotilla idiots and the UN's Francesca Albanese, who never misses a chance to dunk on Jews, calls it 'the Israelisation of society'. Even when it's the Spanish, it's really Israel to people like Francesca, who are obsessed with blaming Jews.

Israel did not make Eurovision political. The boycott campaign against it did. Israel did not make believing rape survivors political. The people who mocked Hamas victims did. Israel did not make Hebrew, the Jewish language, political. Authors who refuse to translate their books for Israelis did. Israel did not make Jewish safety in the diaspora political. Politicians who ignore violent hate against Jews when it disguises itself as ‘criticism of Israel’ did. Israel did not make freeing civilian hostages political. The terrorists who took those hostages, and the world that ripped down their posters, did. Israel did not make the word genocide political. The people who insisted, long before October 7th, that Israel’s existence constitutes genocide, did. Jews exist. Israel does too, and half of us live there. And we are going to keep existing. You can make it “political,” or you can learn to accept we are human beings.

@deborahlipstadt @LekhtNaya @HillelNeuer The UN has become a sick joke. There was good cause to terminate Albanese's mandate years ago. And yet she remains in office, giving her an international platform to spread her hatred.

Note the post by Francesca Albanese, a woman UN Secretary General Guitteres publicly described as a “horrible woman,” not once but twice. And @LekhtNaya described her antisemitism perfectly. @HillelNeuer

@mattxiv Anybody who cheered for Hamas after 10/7 or who ripped down posters of hostages held in Gaza didn't turn on Israel. They turned on the Jews. Their actions dehumanized Jews by endorsing the atrocities committed against them. There is no moral case for such actions.

“the left turned on jews” no, the left turned on a right-wing apartheid state. anyway here’s me and hundreds of other jewish leftists

@FranceskAlbs @ertzaintzaEJGV Albanese says "We must resist the Israelisation of our societies." Yes of course, European governments have never before used excessive force. They must have learned such conduct from the evil Joos.

Shame on the Basque police @ertzaintzaEJGV for brutalising Flotilla members returning home after being abducted, unlawfully detained and ill-treated by Israel. May those responsible be held accountable. We must resist the Israelisation of our societies.

@ElliotMalin @academic_la The fact that Shaiel is making absurd claims about Mossad planning to assassinate Carlson, is further proof of how insane it was for Kristof to rely on Shaiel with respect to the dog rape story.

.@academic_la is not a former Intel officer, and he cannot state that Tucker Carlson is Mossad’s number one target on an alleged assassination list. What he is, is a grifter saying shit for money and has never provided evidence to back up his words. Ever. Not once.

@SZade15 Total BS from a Turkish Nazi. Purim celebrates an escape from being slaughtered. myjewishlearning.com/article/purim-…

Purim is a “joyous holiday” celebrating the divinely approved slaughter of 75,000 Persians. Truly the most wholesome story ever.

@CThomasGallery @4Bassam Craig, Frum's point is that you can't claim to be only an anti-Zionist if you shoot up a synagogue in Toronto. I think you agree with that. Bassam says it's too late to draw a distinction between antisemitism and opposition to Israel. That's a dangerous point of view.

@SaybrookRam @4Bassam Damn, can you not read? He is not saying that. He is saying that anti-Semitism (a real and terrible problem) is not the same as anti-Zionism (a real and justifiable position). For example, I am against Israel and its actions and I am against any attacks on Jewish ppl here.

It’s too late, David. I followed your work in the late 1990s an early 2000s, and I teach your failed lessons. Today, you are not reading the room. These arguments no longer work after what people have witnessed constantly for the past two+ years. No one with a shred of decency cares about your equating of antisemitism with anti-Zionism. It’s like equating anti-Nazism with some sort of bigotry. Both must be opposed for humanity to move forward— and certainly for the United States to do the same. Fortunately, even in the United States, the latecomer, this is happening broadly, increasingly, and inexorably. Hence the desperate attempts (articles, SM Hasbara, media acquisitions, corrupt law-fare etc.) which will actually prove the point and deepen anti-Zionism. Keep at it. Good day.

@elydia351 @4Bassam Absolutely not OK with that. But you are a bigot assuming I would be OK with treating Arabs as subhuman based on my objection to shooting up a synagogue in Toronto.

@SaybrookRam @4Bassam so you're ok with incinerating thousands of muslim & christian Palestinian Arab children just because you view them as subhuman

@asegovia9 Exactly right. Of those 8000 complaints of sexual abuse in U.S. prisons, less than 10% are confirmed to have occurred.

Even if half the things Israel is accused of daily were true, it would still be a drop in the bucket when compared with what happens every day in every corner of the world. Take for example, Kristoff’s charges of sexual abuse in Israeli prisons; they pale in comparison with the over 8,000 complaints of rape by inmates in US prisons last year. But have you ever even heard of that statistic? Nobody has, and that is in our country, not a 5,000 miles away.

@HeidiBachram Perhaps Israel should announce that the next group that tries to run the blockade will not be intercepted and released. Rather, they will be detained and tried in Israel for aiding and abetting a terrorist group.

In Amsterdam airport the Flotilla fans are chanting “Israel no more” and one is wearing a top saying “Zionism is over”. This was no humanitarian mission. It was a violent force trying to destroy the only Jewish nation.

@ACPMain It's Communists, not Zionists, who represent a threat to the United States and its values.

Zionists don't belong in power. They belong in jail.

@HenMazzig Banned for remainder of the school year? That's a few weeks! They should be banned forever.

In Michigan 🇺🇸, parents at an elementary school distributed violent and antisemitic stickers at the school's culture night last month. Following an investigation, the school has officially barred those parents from participating in any events for the remainder of the school year.

A genocide is happening in Gaza, they tell us. Then scroll your feed: Comma Cafee, just opened in Gaza City. Espresso machines, plated desserts, dim lighting. Vanilla Café. Upscale, glass facade. Nova Restaurant in Khan Younis: sleek wood interior, beachfront seating. Named, apparently without irony, after the music festival where 364 Israelis were slaughtered on October 7. O2 Restaurant. pizza, ice cream, milkshakes, TikTok food porn. Open-air markets in Gaza City with apples, avocados, oranges, bananas. Supermarkets stocked for Ramadan with imported goods. A "Gaza Coffee" brand selling 100% Arabica premium beans, taking online orders, with five-star reviews dated this year. Even Al Jazeera's writer concedes the cafes "were built with expensive materials, carefully painted, furnished with tables, sofas, and elegant chairs, with glass facades and shining lights." Now hold that next to actual genocide. Rwanda, 1994. 800,000 Tutsi murdered in 100 days. ~8,000 per day. Hutu radio read names of neighbors to be hacked apart by morning. No one opened a café. Cambodia, 1975–79. Khmer Rouge emptied Phnom Penh at gunpoint in 72 hours. Currency abolished. Markets abolished. Eyeglasses got you killed. Two million dead. The Holocaust. Warsaw Ghetto: 92,000 dead of starvation and disease before the deportations even began. Auschwitz processed 6,000 people a day into smoke. There were no glass-facade espresso bars in Łódź in 1943. Srebrenica, July 1995. 8,372 men and boys executed in days. No restaurants reopened. They were in mass graves. Armenia, 1915. Death marches into the Syrian desert. No imported avocados. The common thread of genocide is that the targeted population is not allowed to exist. Not in cafes, not in markets, not in their homes, not anywhere. The perpetrator's entire project is their absence. Gaza in 2026, by every honest description, is something else: a brutal war zone, partially destroyed, with a population suffering real hardship and simultaneously a place where new businesses open, beachfront restaurants serve customers, and a post war economy is being written about in business pages. Both things are true. That is what war looks like. Lebanon 2006. Mosul 2017. Mariupol 2022. Aleppo 2016. Civilians die and life adapts around the destruction. It is not what genocide looks like. So why the word? Because "genocide" is the most powerful word in the post-WWII moral vocabulary. It triggers automatic legal obligations, suspends normal debate, and short-circuits proportionality analysis. Apply it successfully and your adversary loses the right to defend itself before the argument even begins. That is exactly why it is being deployed by a side that started a war on October 7, took hostages, embedded itself in hospitals and schools, and now needs the West to force a ceasefire it could not win on the battlefield. It is asymmetric warfare with a thesaurus. The rockets failed. The tunnels failed. The word might not. Coffee in Gaza doesn't prove there is no suffering. It proves there is no genocide. Those are not the same claim and the people conflating them are counting on you not to notice.

@karenco01079591 @EdwardDeLavigne The latest Israeli invention: punches to the face that leave no detectable bruise or other evidence of assault.

@EdwardDeLavigne Where are her bruises on her face or body. How can she give an interview like this after allowing raped. Where is the medical evidence as in the Israeli females cases. You would never talk like this after being abused, never. I call BS.

This deranged terrorist supporter claims that she was taken to a “torture chamber” where she was sexually assaulted and repeatedly punched in the face by five men. Being violently and sexually assaulted comes with real trauma. But this woman is giving a casual interview as is if she just bumped into a friend in the supermarket, talking about something horrific that would have happened only one day before. There are no marks, and there is no swelling. She does not look physically or psychologically traumatised in any way, nor does she sound it. She is a total liar and a disgrace to women who are subjected such horrific treatment like Naa'ma Levy, captured on October 7th 2023 by the Islamic Jihadist death cult Hamas. Her Achilles Heel tendons were cut, so she couldn't flee, she was brutally beaten, on her sweat pants is be blood from multiple rapes. The Islamists chanted Allahu Akbar.

@NaveedSalman @EdwardDeLavigne 🤮🤮🤮

@EdwardDeLavigne That means Hamas treated the Israeli women captives of 7th October even more humanely because they even waved goodbye and smiled at Hamas. So, still, that makes Hamas superior in morals to the IDF and Israelis.

@RepRashida I know this may be above your pay grade Congresswoman Tlaib, but it was Hezbollah which started the fighting by firing missiles at Israel, breaking a recent ceasefire. Last time I checked it's not illegal or immoral to retaliate against an enemy that has attacked you.

Over 3,000 killed. This mass murder must end. The U.S. is not a bystander in the Israeli military's brutal invasion of Lebanon—it is an active participant. I will force a vote in Congress to immediately end all U.S. participation in this illegal and immoral war on Lebanon.

@liron @nytimes @NickKristof @BretStephen_NYT @ezraklein @kevinroose Don't know if Sharon Waxman is within the category you would consider a contract writer, but she has criticized Kristof's piece.

Who will be the first @nytimes employee or contract writer to stand up and say the truth, that @NickKristof’s piece was way below the journalistic standards the paper claims to have? @BretStephen_NYT? @ezraklein? @kevinroose?
