@MarkChangizi No one needs to die? Except Iranians, Yemenis, Lebanese, Syrians, and Cypriots, I guess.

@friesennorm No one needs to die so long as Hamas stops attacking Israel and battling from civilian centers, treating Gazans as expendable

She never said. She is 100% correct in what she actually said. You respond to genocide on 10/7 by the sword against the Islamists who did it, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic. Gazans are fucked — as are we Iranians — by our Islamist oppressors, and will be until we overthrow them.

@eyalcinamon @MarkChangizi I don't get how an occupied and/or besieged people are supposed to "make peace" with a state that is so beligerant that it attacks 7 of its neighbors in the space of a year.

@friesennorm @MarkChangizi Of course they do. All of the things you listed are a result of their inability to make peace.

@friesennorm Bring the light does not mean being suicidal. Are you aware of how many rockets were lobbed over into Israel from both Gaza and Lebanon and the last 2 1/2 years?

Haters are miserable people. They thrive on condemnation rather than lifting others up. Be the light and bring light in. This is the essence of being Jewish. /1 🧵

@friesennorm @Concern70732755 The WEF, NATO and the UN are the same beast. China is simply using them to gain ground. We can't "stop them", but we can cut them off from the west, which is what trump is trying to do with taking Greenland and removing Maduro. Canada is next I hope.

The war and the deaths aren’t about Zionism. Someone can be a Zionist and disagree with Netanyahu’s decisions or how the war is being fought. Yet another example of how the term “Zionist” is being twisted and far too many have no idea what it means. That said, I agree with the war. Mistakes have been made, as is always the case, but I don’t believe Israel had a choice. If your country is repeatedly attacked, culminating in a massacre of 1200, 250 kidnapped, countless injured and raped, it starts a war. There comes a point where you have to completely disable the capabilities of the foreign entity that is constantly attacking you and killing your citizens. Israel reached that point. Tragically, despite best efforts and intentions, there are deaths in wars. They are unavoidable due a vast variety of reasons, including when the governing body, Hamas, is using people as shields, murdering them as they try to evacuate, hoarding aid from them, killing then when they try to get aid, drawing attacks to where civilians are to turn the world against their opponent. The war is awful, no question. But what options were there? In your opinion, how should Israel have responded to Oct 7?
Maverick Ibra@ibramandhu

@rich_toronto Since you tweeted this, I have not been able to put this away from my mind. Amidst all the noise and tangential, pedantic arguments, the real issue is obscured. Nothing, yes nothing, can justify the killing of people. Especially children. Anti-Zionism boils down to that.

Israel sits at the centre of Jewish life. Zionism is simply the modern expression of an ancient Jewish right to self-determination in our indigenous homeland. Jews know this. But so do Jew-haters. When they say “Zionists,” they mean Jews. Do not be fooled by the dog whistle.

This is where I would wholeheartedly disagree with you, @TheModerateCase. You say “There is no modern nation state that is ‘chosen’ by God.” You are wrong about that. The modern nation state of Israel is most certainly chosen by God in that it is a representation of His Word being fulfilled and His promises being kept. That’s one reason. A second reason is that it represents God’s ability to save His people even if (and eventually when) all nations of the world are gathered against them to destroy them. This little tiny nation state up against practically the entire world—and Israel is the one that becomes the superpower and wins. It’s David vs Goliath x1000! That’s God. That’s God ‘choosing’ this modern nation state for His divine purposes and to show forth His glory. In other words, the state of Israel exists as an absolute proof that JEHOVAH—He who refers to Himself a total of 203 times in the Holy Bible as “the God of Israel”—is, in fact, the One and the Only True God. The tiny nation of Israel is the physical proof that Jehovah is God and Allah of Islam (or any other deity, including the false Trinity of Catholicism) is not. That is why the nation state of Israel is, in fact, “chosen.” So, I do wholeheartedly disagree with you. You have so many amazing insights, and I do very much so appreciate the incredible content you put out in defense of Israel and the Jewish people. Thank you! But at least with what you’ve said here, you are not correct. God bless!
The Moderate Case@TheModerateCase

There is no modern nation state that is “chosen” by God. Modern Israel is a political entity. Also, if you don’t believe in the New Testament or take it as authoritative, you probably shouldn’t tell Christians what they should and shouldn’t believe about it.

@VividProwess The nazi books thing is a total lie. I think you guys would refer to it as a "blood libel" if it were directed the other way.

The IDF found Nazi books in almost every home in Gaza.This isn't a coincidence. Palestinian society has for decades praised Hitler and attempted to follow the Nazi cause, which is to exterminate the Jewish people. How the world sees them as victims is blowing my mind.

Palestinians are the only people in history who have strangled an 8-month-old baby to death simply because he was Jewish, yet are still seen in the world as the victims. Has everyone lost their mind?

@rich_toronto You don't understand what Islam is & you'll never defeat it. Islam is the largest and fastest growing religion in the world: 2 billion & counting. Maybe should be a little more specific about which part of Islam you have a problem with. Otherwise you just embarass yourself.

Our enemy. Our enemy has been taught to hate. Our enemy had been taught since birth that everyone must convert to their religion. Or be enslaved. Or be killed. Our enemy has been taught that we are less than human. Our enemy has been taught that our lives don’t matter. That their own lives don’t matter. That the lives of their loved ones don’t matter. Our enemy has been taught that Palestinians don’t matter. Or Gaza. Or the West Bank. Or other Muslims. Our enemy has been taught to look forward to their death. Our enemy has been taught that our rules don’t matter. That our laws don’t matter. That they don’t have to obey them. Our enemy has been taught that they only have to answer to their god. Our enemy has been taught that they’re allowed to rape us. Our daughters. Our girlfriends. Our wives. Our nieces. Our granddaughters. You. Our enemy has been taught to use violence and sex as weapons against the infidels. Our enemy had been taught that that they can take child brides. Our enemy had been taught that women are second class citizens and don’t have the same rights. Our enemy has been taught how to use a knife. How to kill. How to murder. How to torture. How to terrorize. Our enemy had been taught to be patient. To wait. To take orders. Our enemy has been taught that they are destined for world domination, a global caliphate. Our enemy has been fed lies and propaganda since they were babies. Our enemy believes everything they’ve been taught. Our enemy is fully radicalized. Our enemy has been awoken. Our enemy has started a war. Our enemy is looking for blood. In our cities. Of Jews. Of Christians. Of Hindus. Of everyone that isn’t Muslim. Of everyone that isn’t them. Of all mankind. Our enemy celebrates the death of each Jew or Israeli or anyone that is not them. Our enemy is an evil, the like of which our world has never seen. Our enemy is Islamism. And it must be defeated.

@Ben_t00_ @adam_louis52328 An ineffective & confused definition 1st, it talks about an explicit denial; then it implies (without evidence) that there is a hidden agenda in antizionism. Then it says displacement OR slaughter. This is the difference between a refugee crisis & a holocaust. Make up your mind!

'Antisemitism,' in colloquial parlance, describes an inner state — a prejudice, an internal disposition. It does not describe a movement, an ideology, or a transnational and institutionalized structure. As soon as we expand the term in that manner, we see it collapse once again into a mere collection of 'antisemitic incidents' in which individual 'antisemites' committed 'antisemitic violence.' 'Antisemitism' therefore consistently fails to name antizionism and make it visible. It can place antizionism within a larger context of Jew-hatred, but it always ends up mapping it back onto older forms — and so blinds us to the contemporary hate movement against Israel, as it actually is.
