@ryangrim US parades scum like smotrich in public while the UK is in a darker place.
English
@SabbySabs2 none of the persecution of Jews makes them more special than the many groups that have suffered genocide; yet none of those other groups have created an apartheid-occupier state committing the very crime Jews decry against Palestinians—shame on you, Schumer.
English
Chuck Schumer is racist Zionist. He claims he needs Israel due to anxiety. Black ppl endured anxiety for years. Chuck can change his name and blend in with white America. We can’t. Stop acting like you’re constantly under attack. Israel is the oppressor.
Chris Menahan 🇺🇸@infolibnews
Sen. Chuck Schumer at Israel Day Parade: Jews need Israel due to the "constant anxiety" they have knowing "the place where they live could violently expel them at any moment—as happened again and again."
English
It's antisemitic to conflate Jews and Israel. Which is exactly what the ADL is doing by calling the "Israel Day Parade" a "Jewish celebration"
As a Jewish person who lives here, I'm pretty fucking glad we finally have a mayor who isn't at a parade celebrating atrocity crimes.
ADL New York / New Jersey@ADL_NYNJ
While not surprising given positions Mayor Mamdani has taken for years, it is still deeply disappointing and disheartening that Mayor Mamdani will be the first mayor in the 62-year history of the Israel Day Parade to not attend this annual celebration. It is worth noting that this is nothing more than a peaceful and positive celebration of the existence of the only Jewish state in the world, and that more than 85% of American Jews feel a deep connection to Israel. At a time when Israel is faced with serious existential threats, and the New York Jewish community is experiencing record levels of antisemitism, it speaks volumes that the mayor can't even bring himself to make an appearance at the city's largest and most visible Jewish celebration. jewishinsider.com/2026/05/mamdan…

@beth_avedon israel is an apartheid state guilty of genocide and other assorted atrocities too exhaustive in scope to list. ADL is its puppet, trying desperately to get the United States to adopt the IHRA def of antisemitism to arrest critics of israel. ADL: zio propaganda.
English
@ComicDaveSmith queen mother has her panties in a bunch because her historical colonizer profits are showing and you're skillfully pointing at them
English
This is absolutely insane
Cenk Uygur@cenkuygur
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

Spoke to @normfinkelstein about his skepticism of right-wingers who have become critical of Israel
Current Affairs@curaffairs
Norman Finkelstein responds to criticism of his comments on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens: “How does 'mass deportations now' cohere with compassion for the people in Gaza? That to me is very strange."
English
@jakeshieldsajj genocide, rape, torture, stealing land, destroying ancient cities, false flags, buying american politicians—the definition of cowards. imagine if Palestinian fighters had equal access to support and weapons—oh they would run! valor for them is sniping children.
English
They are completely obsessed with rape
The Palestine News Network@PaliNewsNetwork
Jewish victim of antisemitism asks Palestine supporters “you want to get raped?”
English
@SabbySabs2 you wave that flag and celebrate israel, you've just celebrated the murder of over 20,000 Palestinian children with our tax dollars...thank god you're out and schumer and hochul, we can hope, are next to be shown the door—you aren't fit to govern
English
Can you imagine the reaction if Mamdani marched in a Syria Day parade with Bashar al Assad? Or in a Russia Day parade with Vladimir Putin? But he’s getting flak for avoiding marching in an Israel Day parade with Bezalel fricking Smotrich. Oh the double standards and hypocrisy!
Haaretz.com@haaretzcom
Israel Day Parade in NYC: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other far-right Israeli lawmakers and American politicians march on Fifth Avenue NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani decided to skip the event | @Etanetan23 Video: Liri Agami
English
@mehdirhasan simply put the ADL supports and will apologize for any and all crimes against humanity by the apartheid colonizer zionist state. Mamdani showed some resolve to not attend.
English
This here is the fundamental contraction at the heart of the debate over antisemitism, antizionism, etc. The ADL, which claims to monitor antisemitism and insists (rightly, in my view) that conflating Jews with Israel is antisemitic, also claims that Israel Day is NYC’s “largest and most visible Jewish celebration.”
Such rhetoric is a gift to antisemites, to those who push ‘dual loyalties’ tropes, and who wrongly blame synagogues for what Israel does, etc etc.

@susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg let the grief over the deaths of over 20,000 Palestinian children guide any human being about whatever allegiance he or she might have to the diseased zionist hand that struck them down. it's time to let go and repair irreparable damage.
English
I appreciate this thoughtful reply, Ori. My previous post was a sincere attempt to understand what it was you wanted to hold onto in that identity. I know white South Africans who fought against their state, knowing that all they understood of the world they were brought up in would be dismantled. They supported and fought for that, even as there may have been some private grief for the loss of what had been their world. I accept that it's complicated.
Israel is so much worse. I think you know that. It's hard to imagine wanting to "keep" it, even with the understanding that there may be some complicated grief.
English
A few more thoughts following @susanabulhawa's pointed and correct questions to me:
1. The trappings of supremacy, one that has been fostered in me since before my birth, are difficult to shake off regardless of any and all conscious attempts to grow past them. Only supremacy can square circles. A desire on my part to articulate a personal position regarding the genocide requires diligence and responsibility that are all on me.
2. When I suggested that "right makes right" I wrongly implied that the establishment of Israel, from 1917 onwards, is simply a "right". I would ascribe this to that all-pervailing supremacy in which I was raised, but this does not diminish my full responsibility for my words.
3. That said, I don't believe in equating justice with symmetry. Israeli Jews suggesting that the genocide is "justified" by the Hamas attack of 7.10.23, and that this justification is valid from here to eternity, are an abomination. Twitterites telling me that I can only leave immediately (to "return home") in order to save my soul are stating a position I cannot espouse.
4. Moreover, a major part of Israel's evil is precisely this convulted pretense to "symmetry". I reject it not as an Israeli, but as what I perceive to be human in me. If the struggle for good is based on a page out of the Israeli playbook, that (I think) is a problem.
5. I think the two state solution is not just dead, but that it was always detrimental. It is based on the notion that, left to their own devices within one state, the Palestinians will simply set about attempting to kill all the Jews (as Jews, "peace loving nation", will have no choice but to kill all the Palestinians first). This makes the 2SS "necessary".
6. I would like to see a single state in which Jews and Palestinians live in full equality. In the process leading up to the formation of such a state, Palestinians must first be assured of receiving all their legal rights alongside reparations. Justice here is also not symmetrical. Israeli Jews need to stay quiet for a very long time. In this state every religious denomination should be allowed the freedom to practice its religion in peace. I would like to think of a multifocal one state rather than one state based on negative freedoms.
English
@susanabulhawa israel, like america, is where education resembles a brainwashing to instill a hierarchy where white people are at the top—substitute jewish/white people when in israel. it's the first step, always, on the path to genocide.
English
when I was a little girl, my cousins took me to a public pool in Jerusalem. some girls my age first invited me to play with them, then started aggressively splashing me out of the pool when they realized I wasn't Jewish. This was probably 1980 or 1981. these parasites are taught hate and jewish supremacy from a young age. they are irredeemable.
English
@Nacilepxd @Felixandres77 @susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg in that case sorry wadhi u got me wrong—read my articles if u like—and hopefully, felix, some of the zios can return to their actual homeland in germany. Ps: part of my family is from there too and managed to leave before they could be incinerated. stop zio genocide is first step

I just have to ask you, @ori_goldberg: what does it mean to you to be "Israeli," especially after making such an admission about the nature of Israel. Keep in mind that what you say is not a recent development. It is the very nature of the jewish colony from its inception. You may not have seen it then, but we Palestinians certainly did. Undergirding your long post is a cognitive dissonance that you should first name, and then contend with. The very identity you cling to is predicated, necessarily, on a violent, genocidal jewish supremacy.
Joining the rest of humanity means abandoning the Frankenstein European Jews cobbled together from the loot and ruins of our lives.
Ori Goldberg@ori_goldberg
I find myself in a quandry. I have come to fully believe that Israeli society has crossed a point of no return. I don't know the extent to which Israel is capable of destabilizing the world. I know that as a society, we are morally bankrupt. No solution is to be found in optimistic dreams about coexistence. "Peace" is meaningless im genocide. Israeli outrage at Israel's genocide is a moot point. There is nothing Israelis can "say" that makes it right. Israel does not deserve the same place at the table as the Palestinians. Israel does not deserve a place at any table. On the other hand, I have no other place. I am Israeli. I do not think Israel can be "disbanded". Israel is here. It is ceaselessly committing crimes against humanity as well as against human decency (not just within a legal framework, that is), debasing its neighbors, its supporters and itself. But it cannot simply be revoked. Israel must suffer the consequences of its own actions. It must be stopped and humbled. In its current supremacist form, it has no legitimacy, but I would not wish for it to disappear. More wrongs do not make a right. Right makes right. I find I must speak out in defense of this right and this good. But what relevance do my words have? What is the point of being serially outraged? I don't feel myself entitled to be heard, certainly not in serial fashion. The genocide is being carried out in my name. What weight do my words of anger and condemnation carry? My presence confers neither comfort nor effect on the fight against genocide and ethnic cleansing. I must speak, but to what purpose? It certainly isn't redemption. There is no redemption for my society. I am not claiming its potential virtue. Human beings are never devoid of virtue, but that does not really matter now. Israel has wronged so much, taken and despoiled and killed, has paid it forward even in the Palestinian and Lebanese gene pools. One voice should be heard right now, and that is the voice of Israel's victims. There is not a single attack on Israel that is not grounded in an Israeli attempt to uproot and destroy ar this moment. The only other voice permissible belongs to international tribunals, leaderships and institutions (with the hope that they choose to use this voice). When I write or speak I do so from the most particular (selfish, perhaps) aspects of my existence. I feel as though I have no other choice. But I have no illusions about changing Israeli minds or even about my own virtue. My heart breaks daily still over the myriad ways in which overt genocide shapes my present and my future. This heartbreak deserves no pity or consideration. My words are gray and deflated, sad as lonely, little wrinkled balloons. That is as it should be. I have no wish to be a strategic analyst. There are many wiser and more capable than I am. I am outraged all the time, angry and sad and shaken as a basic stance towards life. This isn't an equal and opposite reaction to actions taken by Israel. This quagmire is my life as an Israeli Jew. The desperate wish I do have is to maintain my humanity in the most literal sense, a framework that will allow me to delay my disintegration as a person. Is that enough?

@dcnblues @Felixandres77 @susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg sorry no time for illogic. stop zio genocide in Palestine and Palestine will be free

@APMwriter @Felixandres77 @susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg The most prosperous arab population in the middle east are Israeli. They get to be supreme court judges at Israeli courts, they lead the healthcare system with growing numbers of doctors and they even feature as news anchors on prime time Israeli TV. How is that apartheid?
English
@Felixandres77 @susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg the apartheid has got to go—reinstate full rights to Palestinians and return of property, full reparations, trials for crimes against humanity for the leading zio goons. 1947 ain’t that long ago. figure it out. and the US still has a hell of a lot of restorative work to do too!
English
@APMwriter @susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg You are still profiting off the land theft. Of course the genocide should be stopped, but this idea that israelis just leavibg is ridiculous. They were born there long after the Nakba.
English
@marlene4719 ah the portrait of dorian gray, american style
English
@Felixandres77 @susanabulhawa @ori_goldberg Ha…would if i could. but at least i know it and can’t go back in history to stop what happened on the stolen land. But what the zios are doing in Palestine that genocide is in real time and should be stopped. How about that, buddy?

@TraumerTag79584 @susanabulhawa americans don't have a culture...that's why they get along so well with israelis. well, i guess there's disney world. and mcdonalds.
English
@APMwriter @susanabulhawa How do Americans have more culture than Israelis? 🤣
English
only people with no culture, no history, an no roots in soil can do this. the 'jewish state' is a profound darkness upon humanity and it should be banished.

Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre. Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
