A few questions for @PLSTNco:

1. Why do you choose borders drawn by colonialists? Palestine in maps before 1917 included parts of today's Jordan and none of the Negev - what makes this "historic Palestine"?

Could it be that you are only interested in land controlled by Jews?
@PLSTNco 2. You claim that money for your products goes towards the Palestinian cause. Your website doesn't specify exactly what organizations, or what percentage of profits. Hamas? The PLO? Islamic Jihad? Your own pockets?
@PLSTNco 3. Do you support terrorism? Because your "flower out of a bomb" T-Shirt sure makes it sound that way. Are you proud of the thousands of Jewish civilians killed by your cause?
@PLSTNco 4. Your website is also curiously silent as to exactly who you are. No names, no real contact information. Are you scamming your customers?

@ymedad @FreePali1948
@PLSTNco @ymedad @FreePali1948 5. The term "West Bank"was completely made up by Jordan. It didn't exist before 1948. What exactly is "Palestinian" about that term? Why didn't Palestinians demand that land for a state from Jordan before 1967?
6. Finally, so you have any customers stupid enough to spend $24 on T-shirts where they don't know who you are or where the money is going? For all we know, you could be Zionists trying to make a buck off of a supposedly "progressive" cause. Are you?

@lahoare I think you are missing the point of what the BDS movement's goals actually are.

The actual boycotts are symbolic. The goal is to demonize Israel in public opinion for the next generation.

1/
@lahoare By repeating the lies that Zionism is racism, Israel is an apartheid state, Israel must be boycotted for human rights abuses, and so on - over and over again - it makes an impression on college students and people who don't follow Israel closely.
2/
@lahoare When an artist boycotts Israel, it makes a HUGE impression on people who want to identify as supporting social justice.

When an academic group calls to boycott Israel, it puts an aura of respectability on hating Israel.

Hatred for Israel is indeed a form of antisemitism. Just because it is not exactly the same as previous incarnations of antisemitism doesn't mean it isn't the same thing.

Here's what I mean:

1/
Ancient Greek antisemitism (ridiculing the religion, upset at their separateness) was not the same as Hellenistic antisemitism.

Hellenistic antisemitism (the first Diaspora was a conspiracy-against humankind) was not the same as ancient Roman antisemitism.

2/
Ancient Roman antisemitism (persecuting Jews for practicing Judaism and not assimilating) was not the same as early Christian antisemitism.

Early Christian antisemitism ("Christ-killers" and New Testament antisemitic passages) is not the same as Islamic antisemitism.

Let's compare.

Jews built an entire parallel government, on their own, under the British Mandate. All without international aid or Western consultants or hundreds of NGOs. They built industries, created tens of thousands of jobs, and didn't whine that it was too hard.
Compare to what the Palestinians have built in 25 years since Oslo. They don't have a functional court system, their government is corrupt, they can't even agree who their leader is. Their top priority, in their own words, is paying terrorists and their families.
The Palestinians have not shown the ability to govern themselves effectively. Period.

This is hardly a controversial position.

Watching the livestream of @LAW_witchhunt, before the meeting starts @ken4london turns to Graham Bash "you're Jewish?" He makes his speech first and then walks out "promised the kids I'd be home by 8..."
Leaving Tina Werkmann (who is she?) to introduce Jackie Walker and Graham Bash to the crowd. It's a bit sad really, the night before her expulsion hearing she wheels out Graham. You can imagine how his speech goes blah blah "I'm Jewish and it's all a smear" blah blah blah
Tina says "On that glorious day in 2015 I don't think anyone expected we'd take the @uklabour Party, take society, straight away..." and "Jeremy Corbyn has always been unacceptable not just to the right wing not just of the party but to the people who run society"

#Palestine #Israel: new Rule of Engagement
Palestinian attack with a Kornet anti-tank guided missile will be shown shortly.
"Joint Ops Room: Mujahideen targetted an Israeli bus carrying soldiers in Arash Mughlasim, east of #Jabalia, that killed/ wounded those inside".
#Israel Jets are attacking #Gaza now and #palestinian groups are expected to respond.

#Qassam #Hamas waited for 30 soldiers to leave the Israeli bus, fired its Kornet when only 1 soldier was in. The Message is clear. Palestinians (& Hezbollah) have learned to hit #Israel without driving it out of control, limiting the hit at the beginning

Ok, so I now have the *full* 4-plus gigabytes of Internet Research Agency tweets (after debugging my LOAD command), and the full Iranian state-sponsored tweet pile, in my database. Some updates on the tweet analysis to follow 1/n
The extent to which the Russian tweetlords were targeting #BlackLivesMatter is significant. The top 45 most retweeted messages were from fake BLM accounts @Crystal1Johnson, @KaniJJackson, @JemiSHaaaZzz, @TrayneshaCole, @wokeluisa, @BleepThePolice, @BlackToLive, and @gloed_up.
Here's the top 20 or so.

From the beginning, Zionists advocated a "Jewish State" not just in #Palestine, but also in #Jordan, southern #Lebanon, and the #GolanHeights as well.
As it will be proved from the quotes below:
#ICC4Israel #EthnicCleaning #Occupation #BDS #Gaza
Source:palestineremembered.com/Acre/Famous-Zi…👈
#Palestinians are not indigenous to #Palestine👈This propaganda has no other purpose than 2 further dehumanize Palestinians & justify #Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing & murder
In #BenGurion own words👇😡you'll see how that outrageous claim is far removed from historical reality
“We must expel the Arabs and take their places…”~#DavidBenGurion
Born in 1886 as David Green (Gruen) in Plonsk, #Poland. He is considered one of the three founding figures of Zionism beside #ChaimWeizmann & #Herzl.

@antisemitism
CAA’s Demonstration and Event Monitoring Unit (DEMU) is gathering evidence at the pro-Hizballah “#AlQuds Day” parade. If crimes are committed we intend to take legal action to bring the perpetrators to justice. Please send your own photographs or videos to demu@antisemitism.uk.
Already police are having to deploy to keep various sides apart. As the pro-#Hizballah parade gets underway. #BanHizballah #AlQuds
To leave no doubt what this parade is really about, the organisers have been handing out placards declaring unity with Hizballah. How is @IHRC still allowed to be a charity @ChtyCommission? A disgrace.
