@kennardmatt The issues is not what they believe. Its should other people believe what they do, and what do they do about unbelievers

The mad thing is Judaism, Christianity and Islam are effectively different denominations of the same religion They all believe Abraham (Ibrahim for Muslims) was first to make convenant with God. Jews believe the convenant passed through his son Isaac and then Jacob. Christians agree. Muslims believe the convenant line passed through his other son Ishmael (Ismail) Christians believe Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah - and part of God (Holy Trinity). Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet but not divine. Jews don’t recognise him as either (I’m an atheist, so don’t believe any of it)

@RachelMoiselle @CroneThe86880 I can confirm as a Christian living in the area that I have been helped by Shomrim and Hatzola and have also donated to them. I have never once been asked if I am Jewish. In fact, the first time I called them I apologised and they told me not to be ridiculous.

30 years ago my mother told me the moslem community would ask the Jewish community on how it built support infrastructure. All I see today after the attack on the ambulances is criticism and suspicion. Shame.

@jeremycorbyn Is this you being ironic, cos you're going to have to explain it if not...youtu.be/nEB9PwKYmmA?is…

Hatzola, set up by the local Jewish community, provides life-saving care to people of all faiths and none. It is appalling that this valued, volunteer-run ambulance service has been targeted. We must oppose hatred, and build a society where everyone can live in safety & peace.

Yes, Hatzola (the volunteer ambulance service in North London) responds to medical emergencies in their coverage areas and provides care/transport to anyone in need, regardless of religion or background. It's a free, community-funded supplement to the NHS—not exclusive to Jews. Same principle applies in other UK branches. Call their local number if it's an emergency in the area; they'll help.

I would note again that Ukrainians abroad are not burning down Russian cultural centers or Russian schools worldwide. Even though they certainly have plenty of reasons to do so. But “anti-Zionists” (sic!) burning ambulances in London just because they have a Star of David on it – that’s always on the table. That’s why I don’t believe in any “anti-Zionism.” It’s simply antisemitism that has once again become acceptable. I myself, to put it mildly, am not thrilled with Israel’s policies in recent times. And many people aren’t thrilled with U.S. policies either. So what – are people burning anything American in Europe? Not really.

There is some really funny Israeli social media around the bombings. This one's about trying to get them to bomb the tel Aviv central bus station which is universally hated. @benjilovitt

@zionismisdead12 @KateEmersonBri You retweeted that Israeli women lie about rape. I have no doubt that Israeli women report more than in Palestine. ( Have also helped abused Palestinians woman). I don't think woman lie about rape.

@Simoncgordon @KateEmersonBri of course i do? i say ‘Palestine is second to last on this chart’ and you say ‘yeah well it’s because nobody reports it!!!!’ and then i ask you if that could be the same in Israel (who btw have a much higher rate) you say ‘i see you don’t believe israeli women’ ?????

I have never lived in Italian, Greek, Lebanese or Chinese society, but i have lived in Israeli society. I was going to write quite a bit but i don't need to. But i do want to say this little pearler: a surprising number of Israeli women are married to their rapists. Yes, you read that right. Israeli men have a proclivity to rape (as you may have surmised in recent times) and often rape their dates and girlfriends. The women marry them anyway, as it is pretty par for the course. It is ACCEPTED. This is Israeli society #FreePalestine

@zionismisdead12 @KateEmersonBri I see you don't belive woman who report rape when they are Israeli so it really doesn't make any difference from your side.

@Simoncgordon @KateEmersonBri oohhhhh so you understand that people may not report?! so i just wonder if this also applies to Israel, and whether you’ll see that, or you’ll just try to denigrate me again?

@zionismisdead12 @KateEmersonBri Why do you think that is? Because Palestinians are heroic or fear of reporting. Seriously you've got an msc in epidemiology

@Simoncgordon @KateEmersonBri *for rapes per 100k pop

@zionismisdead12 @KateEmersonBri worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankin…

@zionismisdead12 @KateEmersonBri Ibsee you're epidemiology training doesn't influence you're bias.

@KateEmersonBri Lived in worked as a family doctor in 3 different countries including Israel for years. Spoken to people about there intimate lives. I have not seen it in anyway what you are saying. Don't deny you heard that. Not representative.

@Simoncgordon I lived in Tel Aviv and also in a kibbutz for a year. It is true, Simon. I saw it. I spoke to women who were raped by their boyfriends and partners, and even on a date. And the facts are undeniable. timesofisrael.com/81-of-rape-com…

Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the Palestinian family whose relatives were killed by an Iranian missile yesterday. This is something nice to see. I hope this doesn’t stop here, that the same gesture will be extended to the family in Tammun who lost their loved ones days ago and to those facing daily terror attacks from settlers across the West Bank.

Former Prime Minister and Defense Minister Naftali Bennett on Jewish violence in Judea and Samaria: “We did not establish a Jewish state so that violent gangs would operate within it. I strongly condemn any display of nationalist violence by extremist Jews in Judea and Samaria. More than half a million Israelis live in Judea and Samaria, good, decent people, the backbone of the country. The vast majority reject violence and crime. Precisely as someone who believes in our right to the land and in the communities there, we must denounce the rioters and eradicate all violence from within our own ranks. This is yet another failure of governance by the government. Let the IDF and the police do their job. Soon, we will return to lead Israel.”

@mcsquared34 Well you could argue Israel only exists etc etc .stupid arguement . Israel is responsible for what it does as are hamas and hizbollah . Stupid apologist

@CraigMokhiber Well they just managed to kill some Palestinian civilians with a missile

Iran is not being attacked because it violates human rights (its attackers are serial violators who don’t give a damn about human rights). It’s being attacked because it dared to defend the human rights of the Palestinian people from the ongoing Israeli genocide- the only recognized state to have done so. And it’s not being attacked for having nuclear weapons, but rather because it does not have nuclear weapons. There is no way to put lipstick on the pig of US-Israeli aggression, try as they may.

Watch this and feel the anger of Iranians about the naivety of Western 'experts' about the regime.
