People ask, "What can be done?"
Become aware & act:
The Palestinians are indigenous to Palestine.
The British empire gave most of Palestine to Zionists from Europe to colonise. Out of racism, the British didn't consult the Palestinians.
Now that the US is greenlighting the final ethnic cleansing of Gaza & the West Bank, & Europe is helping, the only thing that can save the Palestinians is mass protests & strikes across the world.
And #BDS
"Organizers of the #NewYork #DykeMarch, one of the largest #LGBTQ #Pride events for women worldwide, announced that individuals identified as “#Zionists” will not be permitted to participate in this year’s march, set for June 28.
In a public statement, the group said it has formally added opposition to "#Zionism" to its list of core principles, citing a commitment “to the community’s values against Zionism, #racism and anti-LGBTQ hatred.”
Quoting Tamer Nafar on Hashomer Hatzair canceling "No Other Land" screening: "I wasn't surprised. Democracy died long ago - the corpse is just starting to stink."
Nafar criticizes the movement for lacking moral courage to face #Gaza's reality while claiming to uphold humanist values. "There's no complexity in occupation or ethnic cleansing. This isn't an isolated incident but symbolizes Israel's crumbling center - afraid to be left, afraid to be right, hiding behind 'it's complex' phrases while over 50,000 are dead in Gaza. A youth movement unable to confront political truth isn't educating, it's suffocating."

Hashomer Hatzair is a socialist-Zionist youth movement founded in the early 20th century that historically advocated for Arab-Jewish binationalism but has evolved to operate within mainstream Israeli society while still promoting values of social justice and withdrawal from occupied territories.

Insane? Perhaps, @anne_twain but not surprising.
The National Zionism that spawned Israel is a manipulative, bloodthirsty, ethno-supremacist ideology. They exploit the holocaust and even collaborated with the Nazis.
National Socialism and National Zionism are sibling ideologies. They evolved close together in time and place, but the Zionist form arose first.
In debasing antisemitism (and Judaism), while emulating Nazis, they're running true to form.
Gianmarco Soresi is a very talented, funny man. He's also incredibly thoughtful. Take a moment and listen to what he's saying about the whole Disney/Snow White debacle, and why Hollywood needs to be braver now, not 50 years from now.
"... the current obsession with a definition of antisemitism is obscene. We are distracted from the horror by panic about an alleged explosion of antisemitism and concerns about Jewish safety – even though it’s been exposed as mostly bullshit.
My mother and grandmother survived the Nazi extermination camp Auschwitz, and I grew up hearing their stories. So, l think I know antisemitism when I see it. In fact, there has never been any antisemitism at our rallies, at universities or anywhere in Australia in my lifetime.
Saying “F**k Israel” or “F**k Zionism” is not antisemitic."

Good News: Prospective college students are boycotting Columbia over its capitulation to Zionists & Trump.
Bad News: Scores of other colleges are behaving the same as Columbia.
Do your research, kids.
And good luck finding a college that isn't suppressing free speech. And good luck finding one that has still has any good professors, as more and more of them are leaving the U.S. and taking jobs in countries that still have academic freedom. That includes 75% of U.S. scientists recently polled in the journal Nature who are considering leaving the country due to the disruptions and uncertainty caused by Trump's slashing of science and research budgets.
And even if you do find a school that still permits free speech and academic freedom, good luck finding one that won't put you into debt for the next 40 years. Today, over half of all college students in the U.S. graduate with significant debt, averaging $29,000 per borrower.

1/4 People are celebrating #Booker &the great #filibuster caper. That's fine. They're desperate for a hero w Schumer asleep at the wheel or rather driving drunk under the influence of #Zionist #fascism.
Did the record deserve to be broken and held by anyone other than a segregationist? Sure.
Please understand that ICE disappearing legal residents is directly related to #Zionism, to which Booker & many in Congress pledge allegiance with every vote & dollar every day.

Nobody should try to divide the electorate into "us" and "them" based on silly purity tests.
@emma get off your #Zionism and #genocide horse, because that's one of the ways elected traitors like Rashida #Tlaib was able to deprive #KamalaHarris of victory and hand the presidency to #Trump.
That's 142 killed per-day during the study period. An underestimate, because this ignores all the non-elderly adult male civilians killed.
Even if we ignore all deaths that have occurred since June 2024, & divide the figure by all days through today, that's 71 civilian deaths per day.
The Lancet estimates 64,260 #Palestinians were killed from October 2023 through June 2024. The study indicates ~59.1% of these were #women, #children & #elderly (37,978).

We can take this as a minimum measure of civilians killed by #Israel.
During #apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the #SharpevilleMassacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in #history classes.
On average, #Israel massacred more than 70 #Palestinian civilians every day for the past 18 months.

#Berlin ’s #immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on #Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in #Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between #EU countries.
“You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”
Some of the allegations are minor. Two, for example, are accused of calling a police officer “fascist” — insulting an officer, which is a crime. Three are accused of demonstrating with groups chanting slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine Will be Free” — which was outlawed last year in Germany — and “#freePalestine.” Authorities also claim all four shouted #antisemitic or anti-Israel slogans, though none are specified.
