@Stefangio1 @MichaelARothman Khamas, the group Netanyahu sponsored so he could " justify" Armageddon? Or the killer babies rather than the baby killers. What a sick society Israel is?

@trevorburdon @MichaelARothman She has, you just don't know Melanie like we do. She said all the Gazans died because they KHAMAS .

𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄 𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐆𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐉𝐄𝐖 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐌 𝐀 “𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐓 𝐙𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓” Phillips, columnist for the 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 of London and one of the sharpest voices in the fight against post-October 7th anti-Semitism, previewing her new book 𝘍𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘵𝘦: 𝘈 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘪𝘦𝘨𝘦. Her advice when someone calls you a racist Zionist? Don’t get defensive. 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭. “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘵.

Then she loaded the rhetorical ammunition: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘪𝘨𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴.

The question that ends the exchange: “𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘡𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵, 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?” This is what’s been missing from the Jewish response to the tidal wave of campus harassment, workplace hostility, and social media mob attacks since October 7th. Not more defensiveness. Not more “let me explain the nuance” hand-wringing. 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞. Make 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 answer for the ideology they’re defending. Force 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 to explain why they’re allied with a movement whose founding charter calls for the genocide of Jews. Phillips wrote this book after visiting Jewish communities in Britain, America, and Australia that were “struggling to cope with the relentless onslaught of lies, defamation and attacks” since October 7th (𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦). The book covers how to handle verbal ambushes, psychological isolation, and what she calls the paralyzing “red mist” of anger that prevents effective response. Her closing line: “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵”. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

@KerenZelwer @AssalRad They are. One was deliberate, comprehensive destruction the likes of which we have never seen.

@AssalRad Why can’t both be sad?

These were homes in Gaza.

@WSuperfitfan @MichaelARothman @maayanbar75 How do you feel when you go up to a fence line or a checkpoint?

@MichaelARothman @maayanbar75 I tell people to visit Israel. There is no more diverse and tolerant country in the world.😉🇮🇱

@KerenZelwer @yanisvaroufakis A few missiles strike Tel Aviv and you proclaim it's terrorism. Have you seen what Israel did to Gaza? And continues to do.

@yanisvaroufakis Because you say it is?

Israel is the definition of the terrorist state. That most European leaders continue to characterise it a liberal democracy reflects the sad state of European liberal democracy...

@FleurHassanN It's about the difference between defense and offense. Israel is using it offensively.

The U.S. spends ~$100B a year defending NATO and that has now proven to have zero ROI. Israel gets ~$3.8B, and most of it is spent right back in the U.S. defense industry. Plus we’re a real ally. 💪🏽 If you’re angry about American spending on Israel but silent on NATO, it’s not about the money.

@OunkaOnX Unruly mob drunk on power over the defenceless. Sickening display by the most moral army - Bah!

Israeli soldiers take turns beating a young man—who appears to have Down syndrome This is daily life under occupation. The only thing unusual about this incident is that it was recorded. How many times has this exact scene played out without a witness?

@HenMazzig So why bomb them?

In Lower Hutt, New Zealand 🇳🇿, the owner of the Persian restaurant Banoo, Alex Aragon, hung Iran’s regime flag on the wall 🇮🇷 and placed American and Israeli flags 🇺🇸🇮🇱 on the floor at the entrance, so that customers naturally step on them when entering. Aragon called it a political statement, but it sparked heated arguments with members of the local Iranian community. Anyone who hangs the flag of the Islamic Republic while seeing Israel and the US as enemies, when they’re the only one helping Iranians resist the regime, is not a true friend of Iran. Many Iranians support the Israeli and American strikes against the regime in Iran. Thousands have died for Iran’s true flag, the Lion and Sun, to fly again. Even today, the regime executed two innocent young men. That is what the Islamic Republic’s flag truly represents.

@KerenZelwer @MaryKostakidis @ZionistFedAus It depends on the local interpretation and application. It's clear there are perverse outcomes in the US and UK already, that freedoms are being lost for expressions of concern but not hate, and that the Zionist diaspora is in full support

@MaryKostakidis You just make stuff up. If this false explanation is the IHRA definition were true, it would make @ZionistFedAus statement criticising Ben Gvir, antisemitic. You don’t get to make stuff up Mary

The Israel Lobby wet dream realised. Australia Beware.

@big_gus13 @DavidShoebridge @AussieMAGABot He, he, your argument is?

@trevorburdon @DavidShoebridge @AussieMAGABot … and if you really believe that then I have a bridge you might want to buy 😂😂😂

It’s Easter and the US President chose to share this, an unhinged and expletive ridden rant threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. Australians want no part in this and they expect our government to clearly oppose it and organise to prevent it.

@thefuturebyJC @caitoz @ivan_8848 The Israeli/ US approach is to derail negotiations by killing the negotiators. Hardly the right action of you’re seeking peace.

@caitoz @ivan_8848 Silly rabbit. Everyone wants peace (on their own terms) once all who object to those terms may be safely ignored, is otherwise neutralised, enslaved or dead. Trump is merely honest about those terms. You are merely dishonest hence the wars you cause are nebulous and insidious.

At this point if you're in the US military you have a moral obligation to start refusing orders. Desert. Become a conscientious objector. Ideally, get everyone together and launch a full-scale military coup. We're in "Mad King" territory. Someone's gotta do what needs to be done.

@KerenZelwer @mehdirhasan Israel exists! Can it continue to exist as it does now is doubtful. Will it become one state or two to accommodate Palestinians equally. Most likely it will continue with the war crimes extermination and displacement.

@mehdirhasan I hear 3 great debating tactics, not intellectual arguments - that all avoid the question.

"Do you support Israel's 'right to exist'?" It's a 'gotcha' queston and I debunk all the BS surrounding the 'right to exist' propaganda right here:

@OunkaOnX Randa earns the right to speak again. Let’s listen to her.

This exchange is the entire conflict in two minutes - An Israeli woman worries about her son and his dog in a safe room during Hamas rocket attacks. Randa Abdelfattah responds that Gazans have no safe rooms, no escape from Israel's 14-year blockade, and no protection from US-funded Israeli weapons

@koshercockney @OunkaOnX So special ops rather than obliterate everything and everyone. I haven’t seen one image of any Palestinian fighting just deadly destruction by Israel and the murder of medics, aid workers and journos.

@OunkaOnX Hamas quite literally refused to build shelters you fucking moron. While they hide underground and under civilian buildings. They leave Gazans above ground after they start a war Honestly the fucking stupidity of this.

@thefuturebyJC @caitoz @ivan_8848 Another stupid American? Happy to die for Israel over the war it has been gagging for for years.

@caitoz @ivan_8848 Oh cry more. You want peace or so you say. Now watch and learn how it’s done in real life. Then stop and think about what you have done, assuming you have done anything besides grift for clicks. Pfff.

@thefuturebyJC @Dystopian_Fox @caitoz @ivan_8848 You jest! Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing from one day to the next.

@Dystopian_Fox @caitoz @ivan_8848 Trump is doing the right thing.

@thefuturebyJC @caitoz @ivan_8848 Doubt you’re an Iraqi or Afghanistan war vet. How did that work out ?

@will_evans_qld @SFSportsAndTech @caitoz And Trump suffers from malignant narcissism. Probably Netanyahu and half his cabinet too.

@SFSportsAndTech @caitoz Hitler was a literal dementia ridden meth addict

@SFSportsAndTech @caitoz WTF the closest thing to Hitler atm is Netanyahu.

@caitoz Would you talk like this during WWII against Hitler?

@HellAndMoreWine @DavidShoebridge We have a lot already bushmaster, drones, drone shield, missiles, over the horizon radar, electro optics ranging, Codan military comms, Austal ships, own defence satellite, pine gap + Exmouth intel And that’s just what I see in the news,

@trevorburdon @DavidShoebridge If we were really smart, we’d manufacture what we actually need here for defence purposes wouldn’t we, instead of relying on other countries?
