Huwara video of pogrom and prayer.
I cannot unsee this.
We cannot ignore this.
The occupation is religious desecration.
“Lo tuchal l’hitalem,” Deuteronomy (Ki Teitzei):
“You may not disappear from responsibility.”
We Jews are talking a lot about how Netanyahu’s and Likud’s judicial reform endangers Israeli democracy.

This fundamentally begs the questions:

What democracy does it endanger?
Is Israel actually a democracy by any 21st century standard?
Even if one doesn’t include Gaza, Israel still denies a quarter of the population under its control for 56 years no right to vote in national elections.

Even if you can explain or excuse a 56-year occupation, you can’t call this a “democracy.”

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.
Israeli army veterans openly admit what they did.

"A state is seized by the sword"
"We killed them .... without remorse"
"If you killed you did a good thing"
"I was willing to kill because that's how I was raised"

#Tantura
#PalestinianLivesMatter
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.

[Thread] 1/ Here are some reflections on legal repression as applicable to how Israel uses it against Palestinians to facilitate ethnic cleansing #SaveSilwan #PalestinianLivesMatter
2/ 'Law is used as an instrument to extend control over society, subjecting persons to rules laid down through particular institutions. The establishment of specific laws and the use of legal repression can result in ‘rule by law’ instead of ‘rule of law’' #SaveSilwan
3/ 'In ‘rule by law’, or repressive law, ‘there is little or no separation between law and politics, and the dictates and policies of the rulers trump laws’....repressive law are those laws and systems in which law is designed to uphold the social order [The Occupation)''

werde gerade gezwungen, einen text @derspiegel zu lesen.

über solche verlinkungs und verquirrlungsstrategien könnte lange gesprochen werden.

nur ein grund von vielen, warum ich solches zeux nicht mehr referenz nutzen kann. ImageImageImage
@derspiegel oh. wow... hier gibts also argumente, wie es dazu kommt, dass #MichelFoucault keine referenz mehr kann...

ich muss also "zeitung" lesen, um verstehen zu können, was im #internetz nicht mehr verlinkt werden darf? Image
@derspiegel sensationell...

das meinte ich, wenn ich sagte, dass die gleiche QUALition, das gleich, gleich durchziehen kann:

#CyberPolygon ist das neue #CoronaVirus
- dieses #internetz muss geimpft werden. aber rasch!!! ImageImage

We are being told that we should separate Jewish people from #Jewish state of #Israel. The same people refuse to separate Muslims from Al Quida, ISIS, etc. who refuse to separate #Palestinians from #Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or separate progressive #left from China, Russia, et
> Their argument for the above is, all Muslims have same religion & sympathise with ISIS, Al-Quida objectives. They say #Palestinians elected #Hamas so they're all terrorists. They call left #Antisemitic for supporting #Palestinian struggle & opposing Israeli #apartheid system
> practiced in Israel & occupied territories, siege of #Gaza, continuous encroachment on Palestinian land, houses & religious sites by fundamentalist/ extremist Western #settlers. Furthermore, they dislike Left's opposition to sanctions on #Iran as it hurts ordinary people.

(Thread) Im collecting many of the most egregious media depictions of the Israeli assault on Palestine.

Please add any you've seen too. #PalestinianLivesMatter

1. The @nypost totally reversing who's responsible, claiming Hamas bombed itself with its own, non-existant jets Image
2. @dwnews' tweet implies that the Palestinian kids murdered by Israel were actually fighters themselves. Image
3. The @AP:

Palestinian rockets kill 2 Israelis, but 26 Gazans simply "die" under mysterious circumstances.

Nice switching between active and passive voice.

Also, kudos for leading with 2 Israeli deaths, which suggests they are more important & newsworthy than 26 Palestinians. Image

The settlers are trying to own a neighborhood by a fake deeds bearing in their minds that the the occupation courts will be in their side, like the hundreds cases they have a court orders with fake documents.
It's becoming obvious, its a state of ImageImageImageImage
Organized Mobs for taking the Palestinian property's through a biased law & injusticless.
Settlers taken lands by Military orders or Courts orders&in both ways are illegal under the Int'l law&Geneva convention.
It's an ethnic cleansing crime.#savesheikhjarrh

So #FreePalestine is trending today
Reason: A tweet surfaced that Palestine has been removed from the Google maps and Apple maps.

NO, Palestine was NOT removed from Google maps today, someone decided to NOT factcheck and reduce the gravity of the issue.
The awful truth is
IT NVR WS ON GOOGLE MAP 2 BEGIN WITH
Which is d REAL EXTENT of d prblm
In 2016, whn d same tweets went viral suggesting tht Palestine ws removed frm map tht day a Google spokeswoman said:There has nvr been a ‘Palestine’ label on Google Maps
Take that in..Never.
In 2018, 137 countries stated that they recognised Palestine as a state. However the US and most western countries did not

In 2016, 250,000 people signed a petition to place Palestine on the map yet nothing happened
Maps hv an important role in developing national consciousness.

The notion of an ongoing resistance by people of color in the #US sounds outlandish but might be what is needed in order to rid America of its racist and violent attitudes.

In Palestine, within a manner of days, the Israeli authorities shot three people, killing two. Two of the three were young Palestinian men with special needs.
The other man is Iyad Khairi Hallak, who was shot and killed in Jerusalem. One can expect that none of the soldiers or police officers involved in these shootings will face a court of law, or even a reprimand.
