Please watch Avi Shlaim, an Iraqi Jew and professor at Oxford, talk about his experiences with Zionism and the nation state of Israel:

Two years ago, as I was horrified by the carnage in Gaza in just seven days, I spent hours making this chart to make sense of what I was witnessing on my phone. As someone with a lot of knowledge about colonialism in Canada, the comparisons were palpable…and the learning curve was steep.

Israeli settlers blocking aid trucks bound for Gaza chanting, “May Palestine’s name be wiped out.” Imagine having to endure this for 77+ years?

I am so wholly disgusted by Israel starving the people of Palestine: it’s unconscionable, it’s depraved, it’s utter cruelty. Free Palestine, especially its children, from the terrors of Israel.

I’m old enough to remember when I was lied to about brown Muslims having weapons of mass destruction to manufacture consent to bomb the shit out of them. It’s not 2001 anymore. I’m not 21 anymore. Israel wants more land for its “Greater Israel” plan and it needs unrest in the M.E. to do so.

If there’s ONE lie I’m asking you to stop believing, it’s this: “Palestinians are inherently antisemitic.” No. Palestinians hate their occupier…who happen to be Jewish. Palestinians did NOT choose their occupier. Are Palestinians not allowed to hate this? (See attached screenshots) Wouldn’t you?

GENOCIDE. ETHNIC CLEANSING. SETTLER COLONIALISM. Straight from the horse’s mouth. Israel is a rogue nation state. Btw, are *sure* you want to call me an antisemite for saying this disgusting colonial project is heinous? Are you *sure* you want to be equating all Jews to THIS??!

Palestinian artist, Sliman Mansour, painted this for a cover of a magazine in the ‘80s - likely before Hamas even formed. So, yeah, the world didn’t start on Oct 7, 2023.

Got my copy of GENOCIDE BAD by anti-Zionist Jewish author, @simkern.bsky.social, published by the only Palestinian-owned publisher in the U.S., @interlinkbooks.bsky.social. Thanks, Sim, for all the educating you’ve been doing on your social media accounts.

Y’know what? Israel is not just committing a genocide and ethnic cleansing. It’s committing a holocaust. Yes, a holocaust. No, this word is not reserved for one event in history alone. Look at the definition of holocaust and tell me the images of Palestinians being burnt alive aren’t this:

Hey, @citynewstoronto.bsky.social - it wasn’t a “surprise attack.” It’s well documented by reputable sources that Israel knew *a year in advance* of the attack. And we’ve known this since *at least* November of 2023. Try doing some actual journalism, please.

The Hamas-led surprise attack at a music festival in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, claimed the lives of about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and saw about
250 more abducted and held as hostages.

Tweets from Zachary Foster, a Jewish historian on Palestine and the Middle East with a PhD from Princeton - and a real mensch!

Zachary Foster &
@_ZachFoster
Hi Noa Tishby,
I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My whole family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them all. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression.
But I'm not a Zionist. Zionism was an ideology that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 90%+ non-Jewish.
That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren’t Jewish

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed.
That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. (Think "whites only", but with the Zionists it was "Jews only.")
That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.
That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ ethnicity (source: Benny Morris, Border Wars, p.416).

The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority, and there were simply way too many Palestinians that would have been incorporated into the borders of the new state, so they had to go, they had to be expelled. the ideology created the incentives, the incentives created the outcome.
That's why the state of Israel uprooted & ethnically cleansed another 30-40,000
Palestinians from the borders of the newfound state from 1949-1959, because those people were of the incorrect religion/ ethnicity, thus rendering them an inherent threat to the state because they didn't have J-positive blood (source: palestinenexus.com/articles/israe...).
Zionism was a political ideology that insisted on Jewish control, Jewish domination, Jewish supremacy in a land of mostly non-jews, in a land of mostly Palestinian Arabs.

That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many non-jews.
That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization (@ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in
2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022), because Israel gives Jews extra rights & extra privileges over the native non-jews in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Obviously it does. that's the point of Zionism.
Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide, because, what a Zionist

The nation state of Israel claiming it “made the desert bloom” when Palestine is literally in a region called “The Fertile Crescent.” The is a cousin of the terra nullius notion of “a land without a people for a people without a land” rhetoric. All meant to erase the Indigeneity of Palestinians.

“We have no other land. It’s our land, that’s why we suffer for it.” Stills from the Oscar-winning documentary, NO OTHER LAND, about the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The Palestinians have “no other land” as they are the Indigenous peoples of the region.

Two images, one above the other. A Palestinian woman wearing a hijab being interviewed by two men wearing black. They are in Palestine, in a hilly rural area. The top image has subtitles that say, “We have no other land.” And on the image below it says, “It’s our land, that’s why we suffer for it.”

We’ve known this from the beginning. People were suspended, disciplined, or fired from their jobs for saying a lot less. It’s easy to speak out against genocide and ethnic cleansing 50, 20, 10, or even 2 years in the future.

Imagine telling someone that shining a light on these atrocities is “antisemitic.” Wait - so YOU’RE equating all Jews these heinous actions? Because I, sure as hell, am not! I’m trying to hold an occupying settler colony of a nation state accountable for its ethnic cleansing + genocide.
