Benjamin Netanyahu (the longest serving prime minister in Israeli history) is now making Israel's fascism explicit:

He just formed an alliance with a literal fascist party that even the NY Times admits "was likened by one influential rabbi to Nazism"
nytimes.com/2019/02/24/wor…
It's impossible to overstate how absurd this moment is: Corbyn and the anti-imperialist left as a whole is being outrageously smeared as "anti-Semitic" and lied about nonstop for opposing the Israeli apartheid regime, whose leader just made an alliance with a FASCIST RACIST PARTY
Israel's PM Netanyahu made an alliance with the extremist, openly racist party Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power), which admires violent fascist Kahane, opposes intermarriage, and wants to deport Arabs.

But if you oppose this apartheid regime, you're the one smeared as racist! Madness

Yes, there are some economic difficulties in Venezuela (caused largely by an economic war waged by the US and right-wing opposition). But I still did not see many homeless people there

Yet there are *significantly more* here in the world's richest country
the74million.org/1-3-million-ho…
I didn't see a single person eat out of the garbage over nearly 4 weeks in Venezuela. But I saw multiple people eat out of the garbage my first day back in NYC

I also saw more homeless people my first day back here than in all my time in Venezuela

The hypocrisy is breathtaking
The US is the world's richest country and largest empire, but has enormous numbers of homeless and hungry people

Venezuela is a formerly colonized country suffering under a crippling economic war, but still deals with these problems *exponentially better*

I tried tagging @DavidKlion in these photos but it wouldn't let me. But remember he wants us all to know his tweets are Extremely Important
More remarkable insight from David Incredibly Important Tweets Klion, in The Blairite Guardian back in August 2016:
"it was frustrating to watch many of my friends and allies on the left shrugging off concerns about Russia in my Twitter feed last week"

This is an outrageously misinformed statement, @AOC. The problem in Venezuela is not a "failure of democracy" from the government; it's a violent right-wing US-backed opposition that has dropped all pretense of wanting democracy and demanded a coup and war
The conflict in Venezuela *is* precisely about ideology, @AOC. The violent right-wing US-backed opposition wants nothing less than the total eradication of Chavismo. The opposition is exterminationist

As a US-backed opposition politician admitted, they want "the Pinochet option"
Far-right billionaire-in-chief Trump and neocon war hawks John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Elliott Abrams, and Marco Rubio have spent all their energy trying to overthrow Venezuela's elected government, but "socialist" @AOC instead blames Venezuela, while it is under brutal attack.

What a sad day for #Israeli democracy.

Never has there been an act of political interference on such scale, that has the potential to truly rupture the very foundations of our society.

A #THREAD of PM @netanyahu indictment 👇👇👇
@netanyahu 1. “Considering indicting”? Really? Seriously? How weak, pathetic.

If the AG was so confident, he should’ve have just issued the indictment.
@netanyahu 2. But 40 days out from election to say you will at some stage - maybe - indict, pending a hearing in the future *after* the election? What sort of a reckless political malfeasance is that?

Who would like a thread about famous leaders and their psychic counsel? Doesn’t matter I’m doing one anyway
Queen Elizabeth I made major political decisions based on the counsel of her ‘seer’ John Dee. Dee prophesied the attempted invasion of England by the Spanish Armada in 1558 and the execution of Mary Queen Of Scott’s in 1557. His code name was 007, sound familiar?
John Dee was a mathematician, astrologer, astronomer and geographer and was devoted to alchemy, divination and Hermetic philosophy. His crystal ball is on display at the London Museum Of Science

I am devoting this THREAD to #WorldChildrensDay / #UniversalChildrensDay, which is today.

My key message is that ALL children - #Israeli & #Palestinian - deserve better future, but Hamas & PA is preventing this. This is #NoWayToTreatAChild!

I received a call this morning from the @IsraeliPM Benjamin @Netanyahu.

I appreciate the Prime Minister for calling today to express his condolences on the passing of @SenJohnMcCain.
@IsraeliPM @netanyahu @SenJohnMcCain The Prime Minister – and all of Israel – understood John McCain’s devotion to the US-Israel relationship and John’s commitment to a real Peace.
@IsraeliPM @netanyahu @SenJohnMcCain I enjoyed working with Senator McCain to strengthen the US-Israel relationship.

This work will never stop and my commitment to Peace through Strength remains steadfast.
