has there ever been a commander who rallies his soldiers with visions of smashing babies against rocks? have there ever been 'soldiers' who laugh and smile at the prospect? has there ever been a society that holds such explicit baby killing with pride? this is the 'jewish state'
B.M.@ireallyhateyou

The man speaking here, telling soldiers, using a bible verse, to "seize babies" in Gaza and "dash them against the rocks", is Israeli minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf.

HERO SHOWED UP BERKELEY FOR WHAT THEY ARE‼️ Berkeley refusing to give a student his diploma because he had a Palestinian flag. Any other flag no problem!!! And UC Berkeley still tries to bill itself as the birthplace of the "Free Speech Movement" when it's just a hedge fund for tech and weapons manufacturers.

Sorry Francesca but this is frustrating to read. One of the key aspects of consent for the genocide has been the villainisation of any group that fights back, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran. You can't just stay silent as that is happening and leave that space to Zionists to create racist caricatures of resistance movements. And worse, this narrative from Khalidi actually blames the people who want to tackle that for ruining the movement. It makes no sense.

God bless Professor Rashid Khalidi for championing sharp-nailing. Listen. Learn it by heart. Share it widely. Key message for the anti-Apartheid movement: stay united and purposeful. Do not fracture over intellectually entertaining issues on which you personally have no impact.

🎥 Professor Rashid Khalidi on the dangers of “purity politics” and why meaningful political change requires broad coalitions, strategic alliances, and building power beyond politics as “self-satisfaction.” Khalidi says that if the goal is to stop arms sales, advance divestment, and shift policy, movements cannot remain trapped in a “tiny, ineffective minority.” Source: Shu-Kaman (full interview below).

🎥 Historian Rashid Khalidi discusses the absence of a unified Palestinian national movement and national strategy. He warned the movement cannot rely on anger alone and that without a coherent political strategy, activism risks becoming fragmented and ineffective. “A clique of people in Fatah or in Hamas will decide for the Palestinian people their future. No. No, I don’t accept that… If they put their program to a democratic vote and that vote leads to a unified position, fine.” Khalidi also emphasized the role of Palestinian civil society and diaspora activists in shaping global opinion, arguing that official Palestinian leadership has failed for decades to speak with a clear, unified, and persuasive voice to the world.

@AsaWinstanley Yes, you are correct. The ineffectiveness of armed resistance was always one of Khalidi's talking points. Now he appears to be frightened by and opposed to their effectiveness.

@m7mdkurd @Olivier_Weiss1 I do not give a shit about his conflation bullshit. Zionism is a core component of present-day Judaism. The Jews even agree it is when they want to suppress criticism of Zionism.

Sana Saeed@SanaSaeed·
The most unnerving thing about these horrific reports of sexual assault is that, if I had to guess, the Israelis escalated their aggression towards these activists in response to the (limited) outrage generated by the Kristof investigation, especially among some previous sympathizers. The Israelis have shown repeatedly, esp throughout their extermination in Gaza, how pathological they are with regards to sexual violence - and so it’s not out of turn to consider that it’s a society where exposure of their own sexual violence doesn’t provoke shame or restraint, but a need to double down and inflict even more similar violence.

Flotilla activist Meriem Hadjal described being sexually assaulted by Israeli forces. She said they stripped her of her clothes and continued groping her chest while striking her repeatedly in the head.

@LouisAFishman1 It seems to me that you and Khalidi are much too smart to be honestly portraying this as a clear and simple truth. How do you feel about Malcolm X?

Sumud flotilla activists -- who come from Europe, the US and elsewhere -- have released a statement that Israeli authorities subjected them to abuse, sexual violence and in multiple cases, rape. This hasn't been confirmed. reuters.com/world/europe/f…

Israel may be losing one of its last major allies in Europe. As more details emerge from the testimonies of Sumud Flotilla activists, the divide between Rome and Jerusalem appears headed toward a complete rupture.

Disgusting anti-Palestinian, pro-normalization propaganda from @hadjalahbib @EUinIsrael implies Palestinians are free to “choose peace,” when in fact they are a captive nation trying to survive EU-armed genocide. The Palestinian victim and Zionist victimizer are not equal agents
Hadja Lahbib@hadjalahbib

Moaz, an Israeli who lost his parents on October 7th. Aziz, a Palestinian who lost his brother after detention in an Israeli prison. Both decided to chose peace. Together, they are working toward one goal: peace by 2030, beginning with their book, Their Future Is Peace.
