Almost 60% of gunshot wounds that killed Palestinian children in Gaza were directly to the head and chest. They were targeted. It is not an “antisemitic blood libel” to call Israelis who fight for the IDF baby killers.
Muslim Arab Israeli Sophia Salam Khalifa explains the truth of how it started and the ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Gaza in 2005
UNIFIL has had the objective of disarming Hezbollah in South Lebanon for 50 years. It failed. Hezbollah launched yet another war on Israel when it entered the Iran conflict. Now the Israelis are doing what UNIFIL was supposed to do, and the UNIFIL countries are mad about it.
A fact I just learnt has shocked me. Oliver Sears @Holocaust_Irl on @InsidePolitics with @hlinehan during an extraordinary hour long discussion shared ⬇️ Between 1938 and 1953 the number of Jewish refugees allowed into Ireland was 80.. Eighty souls. How many could have been saved? and even after the war when they had nowhere to go? Of course in the end, many reached the nascent State of Israel. Ireland talks of its sympathy with the Palestinians because of its own history of oppression. But when it came to the Jews, they were deaf to the screams, blind to the emaciated bodies. A shameful part of our history as Irishmen.
@IzaTabaro @yuliafi I suspect what we understand about antizionism is only a fraction of the full truth. Its power is immense.
A few years ago, my husband — a cycling enthusiast — invested almost $300 in a “built to last” balance bike from @LittleBigBikes for our kids, specifically because parts could be replaced over time. Today, as our youngest needs new pedals and brakes, the company refuses to ship to Israel. Not to a government — to customers. Companies are, of course, free to take political positions. But refusing to serve individuals based solely on where they live is not a “peace stance.” It’s collective exclusion and discrimination. People who oppose boycotts should know where this company stand.
@Dog_Deterrent79 Nationalism has flourished in Northern Ireland. Unionism and British identity has disappeared in the Republic. That's irrefutable 🤷♂️

A BBC investigation confirms it: IDF snipers are systematically targeting and killing Palestinian children, including infants
