“At the center of these three countries, fascist crime families in all cases. Bolsonaro in prison, Netanyahu on trial, Donald Trump convicted of multiple felonies.”
@mehdirhasan & @NaomiAKlein discuss the “crime families” of Israel, Brazil & the U.S. amidst elections.

“One of the problems we’re having in America is that there are a lot of people who are still under the if-but-for Netanyahu fantasy” Ta-Nehisi Coates on the inherent racism of Zionism.
From the powerful conversation between Coates, Tareq Baconi and Nesrine Malik last week.

Holocaust Survivor & World-Renowned Trauma Specialist Dr. Gabor Maté:
‘Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the most DISHONEST, BRUTAL, HYPOCRITICAL politicians ever to tread the surface of the earth. And that's saying a lot.
But he is not by himself the cause or the source of what's going on. What's actually going on is the logical, and inevitable and foredoomed, expression of the Zionist movement…
Which from the very beginning has dehumanised the Palestinians and has always arrogated to itself the right to displace and oppress and dismiss and kill as many as possible or as necessary of the Palestinian population.
So Netanyahu is nothing new. He seems to be the most egregious expression of the Zionist dynamic. But that has been there all along.
And, whether you look at previous terrorist Prime Ministers like Shamir or Begin, or whether you look at war criminals like Ben Gurion, who literally fomented the displacement and killing of large numbers of Palestinians, it's a logic that is becoming more and more toxic, but very consistent to itself.
So the figure of Netanyahu is not that important. It's the system that matters.
And if you look at the current Israeli election, none of the opposition parties even dare speak about a Palestinian state anymore. That's just off the plate.
So that, you know, we talk about the slogan from the river to the sea, but that is the Zionist ethic that from the river to the sea there's no non-Jewish entity. Netanyahu didn't create that, he simply embodies it.’

Bottom line: Israeli opposition has a strong majority to topple Netanyahu, but they'd rather keep him in office, go to another election round & commit political suicide than form a gov backed by Arab parties, b/c the latter might -God forbid- require ending the Gaza genocide or slowing down West Bank ethnic cleansing & settler terrorism

⭕️ Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser:
“The more I studied Zionism, the more I spent time there, the more I realized that every inch of Israel is Palestine. It was always Palestine.
Jews were never not allowed to live there as equal citizens, as they are in Britain or any other Western country. But the establishment of this state really did mean this massive ethnic cleansing that was not just a one-off.”

ABC News failed to mention that Ruslan Knysh is a neo-Nazi ideological officer in the 3rd Army Corps. In June, he attended an anti-LGBT march in Kyiv, where he described "same-sex creatures" as "parasites for Ukraine."
Ukrainian veteran Ruslan Knysh is just 20 years old. Still, he continues to defend his country after losing both arms and legs in a Russian drone attack. Today, he is training to become a drone pilot by using a customized chin controller to operate unmanned ground vehicles. abcnews.link/H2WKOYt

David Shoebridge and David Pocock are asking the questions most Australians want answered.
Nobody else is.
They are calm, intelligent and tell the truth.
A trait absent in most politicians.
They are more than worthy of our backing and votes.
Danielle Binks retweeted
David Shoebridge is on fire at the NPC, rejects claim The Greens are not near the “sensible centre” just coz they don’t bash migrants & oppose Israel’s genocide,
“I reject any correlation b/w that & what we’ve been doing…to call out a genocide & say kids should not be killed”💥

Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Benjamin Moser says Israel is "actively fomenting" antisemitism by claiming to act in the name of all Jews:
"It's asking a lot of people to say that there's this Jewish army of this Jewish state with this Jewish star on their flag, and they are mercilessly slaughtering tens of thousands of children, but don't confuse them with Jews," Moser said.
He argues that the reported rise in antisemitism is simply a rise in anti-Zionism, "people reacting to Israel and the evil, wicked things that Israel has been doing in our names."

Today, you'll be flooded with Israeli propaganda about "we're a true democracy, not an apartheid"
All of their talking points are copied from Apartheid South Africa's propaganda (watch👇)
Apartheid South Africa's Tricameral Parliament was 42% colored & Indian in 1983, after the regime allowed 2.8 million colored & 850,000 Indian citizens to vote (while excluding 22.7 million black South Africans). Colored representatives even held ministerial positions, but without portfolios (i.e. no real power).
This is just like Israel allowing 2 million Palestinian citizens to vote while excluding 6 million in the occupied territory & 8 million in exile. The less than 15% of Israel's Knesset that is Arab are excluded from power (both Netanyahu & the opposition parties refuse to form a government with Arab parties).
Apartheid South Africa had black policemen, soldiers, engineers, doctors, & professors whom they loved to show in propaganda videos to claim "we're a cosmopolitan society". But that was only a fig leaf to hide the disenfranchisement of the overwhelming majority of blacks.
Apartheid South Africa also claimed a God-given right to the land. They also screamed "we're facing an existential threat" & are "surrounded by enemies who want to destroy us".
They also bragged "we're the only democracy in Africa", "we have Western values", "we're the only industrialized state in Africa", "we're one of the 20 most developed states on earth"... It was still an Apartheid!
Don't fall for Israel's recycled apartheid propaganda!

We have an investigation publishing soon about pro-Israel manipulation of Wikipedia, and he just blurts it out
