@WellsJorda89710 You're confusing actual antisemitism, i.e. hatred of Jews simply because they are Jewish, with opposition to the depraved, murderous actions of the modern state of Israel - which is not only not antisemitic, but is the only moral and Christian response to that evil!

🚨 There's a dark, deeply antisemitic spirit that's taken root in parts of the Catholic Church. Many of the most vicious Jew-haters I know are devout Catholics. Of course, there are wonderful, faithful Catholics who reject this poison entirely – but ignoring the problem or pretending it's not there isn't helping anyone. This isn't new, but it's surging again in certain traditionalist circles. Time for honest confrontation, not denial. The Church must root this out – for real. #Antisemitism #CatholicChurch #NeverAgain

A Survivor Still Fighting for the Truth USS Liberty survivor Phil Tourney has spent nearly six decades speaking out about what happened on June 8, 1967. For Phil, the mission didn’t end when the attack stopped. His mission now is simple: Make sure the world never forgets the USS Liberty. “My main mission is to get the USS Liberty on the front page everywhere.” ⚓ The Day the USS Liberty Was Attacked During the Six-Day War, the USS Liberty — a U.S. Navy intelligence ship — was attacked in international waters. The assault left: • 34 American servicemen dead • 174 wounded • A U.S. Navy ship nearly destroyed For the men who survived, the memories of that day have never faded. 💥 What Survivors Say Happened According to Liberty survivors, the attack involved fighter jets, napalm, rockets, and torpedoes. Phil and other crew members have also claimed that life rafts deployed by the sailors were fired upon. “They were shooting us like pop-up targets.” For the survivors, these experiences are why they continue demanding a full accounting of the attack. 🏛 A Call to Congress One thing Liberty survivors have asked for repeatedly is simple: Let them testify before Congress. They believe that if lawmakers heard directly from the men who were there, the public would gain a much clearer understanding of what happened that day. “Let us get in front of Congress and tell them what happened.” ⏳ A Race Against Time Every year, fewer USS Liberty survivors remain. Many of the men who lived through the attack have already passed away. Phil believes the truth must be heard while the remaining crew members are still alive. “They’re just waiting for us to die out.” 🕊 Remembering the 34 At its core, the USS Liberty story is about the 34 Americans who lost their lives on June 8, 1967. And it’s about the sailors who survived — men like Phil Tourney — who continue to speak for those who can no longer tell their story. Never forget the USS Liberty. Never forget the 34.

🇮🇱 La rapporteure de l'ONU Francesca Albanese a déclaré que la Serbie est "sans honte" l'un des alliés les plus forts et les plus engagés d'Israël. Elle a déclaré que la Serbie fournit des armes à Israël et que ces armes ont été utilisées à Gaza, accusant Belgrade de violer le droit international humanitaire. Le président serbe Vucic a confirmé des relations étroites entre la Serbie et Israël : "Ils nous vendent des armes, nous leur vendons des armes, et cela continuera."

@simonmontefiore Don't defend genocide, and certainly don't call for it openly. x.com/infolibnews/st…

Fmr US Anti-Semitism Czar Deborah Lipstadt: "Those of us who were in synagogue yesterday heard Parshat Zachor, a very brief reading from Deuteronomy about Amalek, what Amalek did to you." "What are we told to do?" "Don't forget…remember…and wipe them out!"

On Monday, Israel said it launched a 'limited and targeted' ground operation into south Lebanon. But it has forced the mass displacement of a quarter of Lebanon's population and targeted 14% of the country with expulsion orders. So what are its limits, exactly?

Stunningly true

How was the Lebanon’s map drawn by European powers after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire? What is the long history behind the current Israeli strikes on Lebanon? Why did Israel & the US sell weapons to Iran in the 1980s? What happened the last time Israel invaded Lebanon? linktr.ee/empirepoduk

As the world’s gaze is diverted by the US-Israel led war on Iran, the hardship in the Gaza Strip is intensifying: According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, aid to the Gaza Strip has decreased by 80% since the beginning of the war, and the crisis in Gaza is worsening. Following the decline in aid, there has been a sharp increase in the prices of basic food items, and hospitals are reporting a severe shortage of medicines and medical equipment.

He posted this yesterday. Today Israel dropped a bomb on him.

My cousin’s daughter, Mena, didn’t want to sleep unless her Eid clothes were beside her. I can’t describe to you how happy she was.🥹

We finally have the Israeli mentality distilled to a single line:

Taraf al-Ghar (طرف الغار) A national public space for all to enjoy which has and always will embrace our shared and connected histories and named after a place with an Arabic name in modern day Spain. Eid Mubarak ❤️

@aroberts_andrew @AppgIsrael Will you be writing a report on the ongoing attacks - incl. sexual violence - on Palestinians by Israel's terrorist proxies in the occupied West Bank, the Jewish "settlers"... and how those terrorists are actively supported by the Israeli regime? 🤔 That should keep you busy!

Today I am proud that the second edition of my 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report is being published. It's on 7Octparliamentarycommission.co.uk We cannot allow history to be distorted and 7 Oct denial to win @AppgIsrael #7October #Israel

Kemi Badenoch's decision to throw her weight behind Nick Timothy is a defining moment. The Tory party under her leadership is a cesspit of Islamophobic hatred and racist bigotry. My new column for Middle East Eye: middleeasteye.net/opinion/nick-t…

Israel just attempted to assassinate the great Steve Sweeney while he was reporting from Southern Lebanon Relieved to hear Steve is recovering The terrorist regime that has murdered hundreds of journalists over 2-3 years will never recover from this

Every society that brutally represses others is itself sick. Israel’s depravity is most apparent in the brutal nature of its slaughter of innocents & in its constant use of sexual violence. By dehumanising others Israelis have lost their own humanity. The same thing was witnessed in apartheid South Africa

"Just want to write to my Mom & tell her that I’m witnessing this chronic, insidious genocide & I’m really scared, and questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of human nature. This has to stop." —Rachel Corrie, letter from Gaza (2/27/03), killed by IDF 18 days later

Leonardo da Vinci invented the self supporting bridge between 1485-1487 This is how it works

"Suddenly we came under direct fire...Everyone in the car was martyred, except my brother. A soldier pulled me out of the car. They started beating me." Khaled, 11, tells @guardian how Israeli soldiers killed his father, mother and brothers while the family was out for a drive.
