This is your daily reminder that Israel is still imposing an apartheid on the West Bank Israel is still committing a genocide in Gaza (and killing babies) Israel is still bombing neighboring sovereign states All AGAINST international law And Israel is still not held accountable

(2/2) If the Bible isn’t the word of God, there is no divinely Promised Land that would give anyone the right to erase the indigenous people in Palestine Either way the Zionists fail. Checkmate.

If the Bible is the word of God, then Israelites are not indigenous to Palestine - Abraham came from Babylon, they grew into a people in Egypt, & effectively acquired the land by erasing the Cannanite ppl - any claim of indigenousness based on links to the Israelites will fail (1/2)

In some parts of the world there is a rise of #antisemitism because the #Zionist regime in Israel is telling people that Judaism means killing innocent children - a blatant lie The sooner people realize Judaism and Zionist settler colonialism are not the same, the sooner antisemitism will fall

(2/2) I wish the Palestinians could say something similar - but they can’t, because 1,200 deaths is just something that happens to them every week (average), not a “since the Holocaust” event That’s the perspective we need

If an adult said to me: “I’ve got a paper cut. It’s the worst injury I’ve had since my birth.” The conclusion I would draw wouldn’t be “ohh a paper cut is like cutting off a limb”, but “this guy must have lived a super safe and comfy life.” The same goes to the 7 Oct 2023 attack. (1/2)

The terms of this so-called peace plan is so one-sided and unreasonable that it is clear that the intention is not peace: it is to create an excuse - like the many versions of two state solutions before - such that when Hamas…..(1/2)

(2/2)… (last time by the League of Nations) in Palestine, when a mandate was given to an imperial power (on both occasions to a Brit - historical irony) - the result was the colonisation of Palestine (rather than its self-determination or statehood)

Trump’s so-called peace plan is like a burglar coming into your house, ransack it for 23 months, then ask you to completely surrender your house and your ability to resist - otherwise they would “finish the job” themselves This is not a peace plan, this is blackmail. This is daylight robbery

社民連 宣佈解散 班保皇狗應該好興奮,但如果我係佢地我就應該開始擔心啦: 因為「洗太平地」清除所有反對派之後,槍口自然會針對一班表面 say yes 但仍然被視為「唔夠忠誠」既人,直到所有人都跪低 當所有人都跪低,當然就開始捉「跪得唔靚/聰明」既人 當剩得「跪得好靚」既人時,當然開始清算果啲肯跪但唔肯「舔腳趾」(或其他更不可告人的部位)的人 如此類推 - 如果唔係點 justify 龐大既「角胺」開支同架構? 你高興宿敵已除?刀尖正向你的方向揮來呢

No one has a monopoly on “the Truth”, “the Answer”, “the (Eternal) Fact”, or “the Gospel” - or “#God”. That “God” has to die to make way for the trinitarian God Those who think they do often become judgmental, intolerant & oppressing others with a holy-war mentality… #thegreatdivorce

Two states solution - all 3 words are lies Not two equal states: but one side taking more than 78% (or 89%) of #Palestine, leaving the other with just 22% (or 11%) separated lands Not a “solution” - it’s a perpetuation of the atrocity of occupation. It’s a legitimation of #Zionist theft

Due to the passing away of President Carter on 29/12/2024, all American flags on government buildings will be flying half-mast for 30 days - including 20/1/2025, when Trump will be sworn in as POTUS for the 2nd time (Yes, very terrifying words) As if the nation is mourning that moment too

You really have to read more to understand #Palestine I am not talking about those biased rhetorics which just parrot the 🇮🇱 line - I am talking about serious peer-reviewed academic works on the relevant politics/history/theology/philosophy Let’s pick up a book today - what’re you reading today

The word “peace” also presumes that the cessation of conflict can only be achieved by separating the two peoples - hence why so many people cannot think of any other possible option than the so-called #TwoStateSolution But two peoples can also co-exist equally on the same land.

Meeting a group of Hong Kong friends tonight and one of them asked if I would go back to HK Before I could answer, another interrupted the conversation and said - but does the HK that we knew still exist? The geographical location is still there, but HK is no longer here My thoughts exactly.
