@AdamZivo @Bartaway Can we use BDS?

@Bartaway Intensify criticism, and maybe do some follow-up reporting in the West Bank, if I can make that work at a practical level. Ultimately, I’d like to see a more moderate Israeli government come into power — one that doesn’t cater to far right coalition partners.

The Israeli settlers who are terrorizing Palestinians in the West Bank must be held accountable. They are extremists who do not reflect the majority of Israeli society, and their crimes inflame regional volatility and endanger Palestinians and Israelis alike. jpost.com/israel-news/de…

Two weeks ago, Israeli settlers murdered two Palestinian brothers in the village of Qaryout, and days later, another Palestinian was killed in the village of Qusra. Palestinians did not respond with violence or attacks. Yesterday, an Israeli settler died in a car accident. Israeli settlers blamed Palestinians for his death and responded with pogroms across more than 14 villages and towns in the West Bank. Yet you will still find shameless, disgusting voices talking about “deradicalizing Palestinian society.”

It’s crazy that i can be called antisemitic for suggesting the settlements are a weapon

@Jerusalem_Post @HBendaas Well, that was the most morally depraved nonsense I've had the displeasure of reading today.

admitting that "Israeli reality" is permanent apartheid

@AlinejadMasih @realDonaldTrump You were told this would happen a million times

Mr. President, @realDonaldTrump The Islamic Republic is a terrorist regime. It has made one thing brutally clear: the lives of its own people mean nothing to it. It kills them. Then it demands money from their families to return their bodies. And if those families dare to grieve, dare to demand justice, they are threatened with gang rape and then arrested. For years, I have said clearly: the Islamic Republic is not a normal government. It is a terrorist occupying force that will only respond to strength and decisive pressure. But with the reported 48-hour ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz, I feel a moral and patriotic duty to issue a critical warning: Targeting Iran’s power plants and civilian infrastructure does not weaken the regime. It punishes the Iranian people. A nationwide blackout in Iran would hand the regime exactly what it wants, a propaganda victory. The IRGC thrives on blaming foreign enemies for the suffering it has created, redirecting public anger away from itself. It would also put millions of civilians at risk. Power outages mean hospitals shut down, water systems fail, and ordinary people who are already struggling under extreme economic pressure are pushed further into crisis. And it would weaken the very people standing up to this regime. A population fighting for basic survival in darkness and desperation has far less capacity to organize, protest, and resist. If the goal is deterrence or disabling the regime, then the target set must be clear and precise: IRGC command centers, missile infrastructure, and the regime’s security and repression apparatus. Disable the regime’s war machine, not the lives of the Iranian people. The Islamic Republic has held Iran hostage for decades. At this critical moment, do not allow it to use our national infrastructure as a shield for its survival. The objective must be the liberation of Iran, not its destruction. #Iran💔

There's much to appreciate about this essay. The condescension, the arrogance, the accurate portrayal of the 2SS in Israeli politics, the connection to American colonialism by stating the ideal for Palestinians is Puerto Rico. An honest portrayal of delusional supremacy

@levantinterest @Jerusalem_Post It is Zionism lol

@Jerusalem_Post There are daily pogroms in the West Bank. It's evil and a disgrace to Zionism. timesofisrael.com/dozens-of-extr…

Opinion: American Jewish groups must abandon outdated two-state advocacy and align with Israeli reality: support settlements, reject a Palestinian state, and discuss Palestinian violence more than settler violence. jpost.com/opinion/articl…

This is exactly how many race massacres occurred here in America. A Black person was accused of a crime they actually didn’t commit then white folks in that town or city would go on a rampage burning down Black Americans property and killing them.

My representative, who ignored me when I was attacked by settlers 👇

@Elad_Si Maybe it depends on who else you are comparing them to?

I honestly can't get the anti-Zionists. Is Israel too powerful or too weak? Is it genocidal or playing victim? Is bombing civilians indiscriminately bad, or do Iran and Hezbollah get a pass? Pick a f***ing lane and let us know.

@kinsellawarren But you don’t condemn the zone system that has allowed it for decades. Kinda hollow

I'm a Zionist and I condemn it, too.

@OTrampolski @CTVNews What does one have to do with the other?

@CTVNews Also, Iran just fired a cluster ammunition over Gaza Just trying to balance the script here

Israeli settlers smash cars and set fires in the West Bank as 4 Palestinians killed in Gaza ctvnews.ca/world/article/…

@CTVNews Will you ever report this for what it is? Apartheid

@Joe_Roberts01 Poor guy. You really have your hands tied 😂

@web2scholar The Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Government are bound to this arrangement as part of the Oslo Accords, which both agreed to.

Extremist violence in the West Bank is vile and it should be condemned plainly and without excuse. At a time of war, the IDF should be focused on defeating Israel’s enemies, not wasting time and resources dealing with lawless hooligans.

@PrairieCatboy @BigMouthedCunt So your solution odds to live even closer to them? Ya that makes sense

@web2scholar @BigMouthedCunt I think they tried it your way in Gaza. I also think you either don't care, or don't have a solution. You just throw stones from a safe little house in North America, volunteering others to take risks you never will have to.

Remarkable. My timeline is full of Zionists condemning the settler terrorism in the West Bank. Antizionists don't call their own side out like this.

@Joe_Roberts01 A deal made with your victims of occupation and ethnic cleansing so you would do slightly less oppression

@Joe_Roberts01 Doesn’t matter. It’s apartheid. You cannot negotiate with a gun to your head as Neshon Mandela said

@PrairieCatboy @BigMouthedCunt You think Israelis are the first to deal with evil? Yet they are the only apartheid state… sorry permanent occupation state

@web2scholar @BigMouthedCunt No, here it is.

@PrairieCatboy @BigMouthedCunt There it is

@web2scholar @BigMouthedCunt I've seen the alternative.
