Ny @Udestuen sammen med @SrenKVillemoes, @AnderssonMikkel og Firas Mahmoud hvor vi vender tilbage til Mellemøsten efter de nylige drab på Hamas og Hezbollah-ledere. Kommer storkrigen? Kan den blive større og hvor mange Hamas'er findes der egentligt? #dkpol

Many Israelis promised a Nakba2023-2024 as retaliation and revenge for 7th October. A reenactment of the ethnic cleansing leading up to 1948.
Where did the word "Nakba" come from? @lorenzokamel sheds light on the interesting origins of the word "Nakba" to describe the events of 1948. Watch the full afikra podcast episode 🎙️👋youtube.com/watch?v=mIpjKRaU…

Another bombshell investigation by Israeli-Palestinian magazine @972mag 972mag.com/settler-violence-… Sources in Israeli intelligence have revealed to the magazine that Israel has been spying on US private communication with the Palestinian Authority in order to “understand what the U.S. knows about settler violence.” And they've discovered that the purpose for this spying, far from punishing settlers for their violence, is "to prevent the collected information from developing into sanctions", i.e. protecting settlers.

If you can’t include or take this growing and powerful political voice into account, your analysis is lacking to say the least.
I speak Hebrew. The translation on this clip is accurate. This woman is deeply pathological.

From the river to the sea. Freedom of expression as a joke and weaponized to shut people up. Likud’s charter, settlers and occupation forces on the West Bank and Netenyahu’s son can say it. Pro-Palestinians? No. Then it’s a call for genocide. Shut the fuck up.

“There is no lasting security for Israel in the region if its security is achieved at the cost of Palestinian lives.” If true, then Palestinian lives are not an acceptable cost to pay for Israeli security, as many seem to think and fully support.

All bad options and "solutions" are on the table. Except for working towards a viable Palestinian state.
That Israeli ministers are continuing to push this as some sort of a solution, is a testament to how bad this Israeli government is - even with figures like Gantz joining in. Beyond the abhorent character of permanently displacing Palestinians, on the strategic level, doing so would send shockwaves in the region that would destabilize all of Israel's neighbors.

If corroborated, could be valid documentation for Hamas’ war crimes not just against Israeli civilians but Palestinian civilians as well. Endangering Palestinian hospitals and patients’ lives.
Lots of CCTV coming out from the Shifa Hospital now. Appears lots of hostages were taken there⬇️🧵

Så lidt skal der til, før man bliver anklaget for at være terrorsympatisør. Autopilot reaktion. Bare fordi man sætter spørgsmålstegn ved bombningen af hospitaler som kontraterror strategi, og at man finder det nødvendigt. Heller israelske soldater end palæstinensiske patienter.
Nej, jeg er ikke apologet for Israel. Er du Hamas-apologet til den bitre ende? Her taler vi om, at Israel risikerer soldater ved at bekæmpe Hamaskrigere, der opererer fra hospitalet. Det er nødvendigt ift. at nedkæmpe Hamas. Bemærk, at de netop ikke sønderbomber hospitalet.

De israelske intentioner er tydelige og eksplicitte via egne udtalelser. Umiddelbart tre erklærede israelske mål: Nakba 2023 / Udrydde Hamas / Redde gidslerne. Spørgsmålet er: hvilken prioritet? I hvilken rækkefølge? Primære og sekundære mål? Hvilke mål må vige? Gennemtænkt?
"Vi er lige nu ved at udrulle Nakba [etnisk udrensning] i Gaza. [...] Gaza Nakba 2023. Sådan ender det." - Landbrugsminister og tidligere chef for Shin Bet, Avi Dichter, 11. november. Det her var ikke en enkeltstående fortalelse. Der har en lind strøm af lignende trusler. 🧵

"We are now actually rolling out the Gaza Nakba," says Avi Dichter, Israel's Minister for Agriculture and former head of Shin Bet.

Since many are asking such questions, I'm going to answer. I'm assuming the questions are being asked in good faith and by people who are not malicious but misinformed xitter.gq/PhilipRSchiff/status/1…

From the river to the sea. It’s about Hamas, they say. But mainly, it’s about those ancient beaches. And colonizing and settling more land. From the river to the ancient beaches. And the poor Israeli hostages? Not even worth a mention.

“From the river to the sea” siger en israelsk bosætter til DR. Hun mener at Gud har givet jøderne landet. Fra floden til havet. Hamas slogan? Ja, hvis du tror på Weekendavisen og Frihedsbrevet, som tydeligvis ikke er upartiske og har valgt side i konflikten.

🧵 Hvor mon det placerer antizionistiske jøder som kritiserer Israel? Som fx Noam Chomsky. Ilan Papé. Schlomo Sand. Max Blumenthal. Haim Bresheeth-Zabner. Gideon Levy. Gabor Maté. Bare for at nævne et par stykker.
Min chef forklarer her ganske klart og tydeligt, hvorfor antizionisme faktisk er antisemitisme. "Det smarte er, at de til demonstrationerne og på venstrefløjen kan påstå, at de skam ikke hader jøder, kun Israel. Men hykleriet afslører dem." weekendavisen.dk/samfund/saf…

Begge forsøg på at lukke ned for legitim kritik er at misbruge racismekortet. At misbruge henholdsvis real jødehad, araberhad eller muslimhad. Racister elsker at skjule sig sammen med bevægelser, som har legitime politiske anker. Så de kan hvidvaske deres racehad med politik.

Løsningen på det er at kalde dem ud enkeltvis og påpege de helt konkrete hadske episoder. Ikke at lukke ned for alle over en bred kam.
