Die Jüdische Stimme für Terrorismusverherrlichung und Antisemitismus gibt sich redlich Mühe, die Aufrufe zur 3. Intifada, die über das Mikro ihrer #Nakba-Kundgebung #b2005 getätigt wurden, zu verklären. Bericht JFDA, siehe Video: jfda.de/post/dritte-in… 1x

Police #Nakba Ban 2:
Police claim "BDS, and slogans *From the river to the sea* or *Boykott Israel* are *anti-semitic*"
This police claim itself is anti-Semitic, i.e. policies of Israeli government=Jews.
The appearence of a different rally as "militant" is also used as a smear

What FREE PALESTINE means:
It's been 75 years since Arab nations attacked Israel vowing to throw the Jews into the sea. 75 years of non-stop attacks on Jews many of whom had barely overcome the horrors of Nazism to be met with Pan-Arabist desires to annihilate them again.
Then as now they never once looked at themselves preferring to see Jews as evil incarnate. Their hubris led to their downfall, this same hubris is alive & kicking today. Jews are seen as pigs & dogs & the relentless vilification has led them to seeing us as less than humans.
They tried to defeat us militarily multiple times &, against on all odds Israel only survived it flourished.
They rejected every peace proposal. Never in history has the loser set the conditions for peace yet Israel was willing to listen; & got the infamous 3 Nos of Khartum.

Today, we join other Palestinians in marking 75 years since so many of our people were ethnically cleansed; their homes destroyed or stolen as they were turned into refugees.
They are still denied their right of return to this day.

What do we mean when we say “Nakba”?
Today and every day, reject the lie that Palestinians left willingly.
Today is #NakbaDay. 75 years ago a catastrophe was visited on the Palestinian people - the violent beginnings of Israel's occupation. It continues today.
@vonderleyen recently described these events as a "dream." That is unacceptable, and must be condemned. #VonDerLies #Nakba

A "tragedy" is a terrible event nobody is really responsible for. It is totally unacceptable for a German politician to use the @EU_Commission to minimise the historic crimes of the Nazi regime as a mere "tragedy," and in the same breath as she downplays the #Nakba. #vonderLies
It's beyond disgraceful for an @EU_Commission President to allow the propaganda lie "Israel made the desert bloom" to come out of her mouth, denying the prior existence of Palestinians in their homeland. We must oppose apologism for the occupation in #EU institutions. #vonderLies

Neste dia, #Israel passou a existir: sua criação foi um processo violento que envolveu a expulsão forçada de milhares de palestinos de suas terras para o estabelecimento de um Estado de maioria judaica, de acordo com as aspirações do movimento sionista.
As forças sionistas tomaram mais de 78% da #Palestina histórica, limparam etnicamente e destruíram cerca de 530 vilas e cidades (a exemplo do Plano Dalet), e mataram cerca de 15.000 palestinos em uma série de atrocidades, incluindo 70+ massacres. #Nakba75

There are two 'Nakbas'.

2. The mythical narrative that they remember on Nakba Day 2/13

2. The mythical narrative that they remember on Nakba Day 2/13
They build their story on several pillars:
That the Palestinians welcomed the Jews
The Palestinians were innocent victims
The Jews planned to expel them
It was a one-sided slaughter
The demographic weakness of the Jews
The Arab armies had to save the Palestinians 3/13

In 1947 the #UnitedNations voted to partition Palestine, there followed a war and a land grab by Zionists forces.
The Palestinian village of #Tantura was emptied of its inhabitants as victorious Zionist forces swept into the area, massacred its people but enjoyed their property.

Teddy Katz first revealed the truth of what happened to Palestinians #Tantura and for this he has suffered greatly.
He tells the reporter "be careful because you will be hunted down like I was."
He has in his collection many tapes and hours of interviews with witnesses.

🧵Reading the archives of the US Embassy in Jordan today, I came across this heart-breaking account:
On Nov. 2, 1950, an Israeli soldier executed two Palestinian refugee children, Ali Elayan, aged 12, and Fakhriyeh Elayan, aged 10, from the village of Yalu. 1/
On Nov. 2, 1950, an Israeli soldier executed two Palestinian refugee children, Ali Elayan, aged 12, and Fakhriyeh Elayan, aged 10, from the village of Yalu. 1/
The children were out gathering wood when soldiers crossed the no-man's land separating Israel from Jordan and grabbed the children, took them into the no-man's land, and shot them in cold blood while their father witnessed the terrible deed from a nearby hilltop. 2/
All of this was verified by UN observers who found the casings for the bullets. I won't post the disturbing autopsy photos to preserve the dignity of the children. The children were refugees from the nearby village of Deir Ayyub, one of 100s Israel destroyed during the #Nakba. 3/

🧵 75 years ago today, the United Nations recommended partitioning #Palestine against the wishes of its majority indigenous Palestinian population for the benefit of a minority settler-colonial movement. This injustice violated Palestinians' right to self-determination. 1/
Even Dr. Ralph Bunche, who wrote the partition plan, was "not all satisfied with my scheme" but believed it was a "reasonable and workable compromise." But was it really reasonable, workable, or just?

La cuestión de Palestina:
-No se retrotrae 2.000 años atrás
-No es de índole religiosa (aunque el territorio se conoce como "Tierra Santa" y varios actores utilizan la religión como elemento legitimador)
-No hay un supuesto odio congénito entre personas judías y musulmanas

Su objetivo: crear 1 Estado exclusiva o mayoritariamente judío en el mayor territorio de Palestina

Yesterday marked the 105th anniversary of the #BalfourDeclaration, a fateful, colonial statement by the British government that paved the way for establishing a Jewish supremacist settler-colony in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration laid the foundation for the 1948 #Nakba, the #EthnicCleansing of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Indigenous Palestinians at the hands of Zionist militias, and subsequently Israeli forces.
The ongoing Palestinian Nakba entails Israel’s relentless land theft, denial of human rights & legalized racial discrimination, made possible by massive military, economic & political support from the U.S., EU, U.K. & other complicit states, international orgs & corporations.
1/ Lors des manifestations organisées dans le cadre de la #GrandeMarcheduRetour (dès le 30/03/18) les civils palestiniens défilèrent durant des mois pacifiquement pour réclamer la levée du blocus 🇮🇱 de #Gaza & le retour des réfugiés 🇵🇸 vers les terres confisquées depuis la #Nakba
2/ Le 1er juin 2018, lors de la #GrandeMarcheDuRetour, un sniper israélien assassina #RazanAlNajjar, une infirmière de 21 ans, pourtant identifiable par sa blouse médicale. « Les personnels médicaux ne sont pas une cible ! » (Nikolaï Mladenov, coordinateur spécial de l’#ONU).

There seems to be some confusion about who the occupation for Palestine began. Jonathan @Freedland appears to believe it started in 1967. But it didn't.
Here's a quick thread🧵
Here's a quick thread🧵
So did the occupation begin in 1948 - the #Nakba - when thousands were massacred and 750,000 expelled? No, not then either.
Did the occupation begin in 1909? That was when the first ‘Kibbutz’ was created in Umm Juni, by Arthur Ruppin, the head of the Zionist Organization office in Palestine. He was a devotee of ‘racial purity’ who was sympathetic to Nazi racial thinking.

The recent assassination of #ShireenAbuAkleh on 11 May by the Israeli occupation forces and —
the additional desecration of her coffin at her funeral is simply another brutal example of the ongoing Israeli destruction of Palestinian public life and their rights to self-determination and self-expression. #b1505
Shireen Abu Akleh, a journalist, has been called the voice of Palestine and named ‘the daughter of Palestine’ in her death for rendering visible the Palestinian experience to the world. Her murder is a manifestation of the persistence of the Nakba to this very day. #b1505
🧵Today marks #Nakba74. 74 years since Israel's dispossession of the Palestinian people began. In @MiddleEastInst, I uncover bombshell documents from the US Consulate in Jerusalem showing the extent to which the US knew about the #Nakba as it unfolded. 1/ mei.edu/publications/f…

Palestinians are commemorating the #Nakba, a program of ethnic cleansing that saw 750,000 Palestinians forcibly displaced from their homes during Israel's creation.
Between 1947-49, Zionist forces killed 15,000 Palestinians and destroyed 500+ Palestinian villages and cities.

Aujourd’hui, ça fait exactement 74 ans que l’état d’Israël a commencé à effacer la population autochtone, expulsant plus de 750 000 palestiniens et détruisant + de 400 villages. La #Nakba est un processus de nettoyage ethnique qu’Israël a débuté en 1948 et a continué depuis

Les palestiniens forcés à quitter leurs villages en 1948 ont gardé la clé de leur maison dans l’espoir de revenir après la guerre. Israël les a empêchés de revenir sur les terres & y a installé des colons recrutés partout, notamment en Europe. La clé reste un symbole de #Nakba
