Anti-Jewish prejudice is so deep in Western Civilization it's almost unconscious. From ancient Greeks &Romans to Christian Europe even today, WestCiv has defamed and dehumanized Jews for over 2,000 years. One way this manifests is language.
VERY SHORT THREAD
The very word "Jew" is uncomfortable for many. Long ago it was turned into a verb reflecting anti-Jewish stereotypes - to the point where political leaders TODAY in New Jersey use it, defend it, and don't even realize the deep prejudice they're expressing. nj.com/mercer/2019/09…
So kudos to NJ @GovMurphy for standing up to this. It is vitally important that our political leaders condemn antisemitism whenever and however it manifests. When can never let hatred go unchallenged, whether out of fear or ignorance. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/murph…

Who was responsible for 9/11?
Yes, Al-Qaeda.
But Al-Qaeda did not act alone.

US Federal Courts have repeatedly held that IRAN and its terrorist proxy HEZBOLLAH were directly and materially responsible for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

THREAD
In 2004 hundreds of 9/11 families brought "Havlish et al v. Bin-Laden, Iran, et al" to court based on the 9/11 Commission's recommendation that “there is strong evidence" implicating Iran and Hezbollah, requiring "further investigation by the US government.”
After 7 yrs investigating, a federal court issued “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” that “The Islamic Republic of Iran..engaged in and supported, terrorism as an instrument of foreign policy, virtually from the inception of its existence.” centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2019/04/09/des…

#OnThisDay in 1972, Palestinian 'Black September' terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes during the #Olympics in Munich, Germany, assisted by a German neo-Nazi group. But there is more to the story. #MunichMassacre THREAD
PLO Chairman and future Palestinian Authority President Yasir Arafat endorsed the #MunichMassacre operation and current PA President Mahmoud Abbas financed it.
si.com/vault/2002/08/…
In June 2019, Palestinian Authority President Abbas dedicated a new university building in honor of the mastermind of the #MunichMassacre, Khalil Al-Wazir Abu Jihad.

The reality of Palestinian refugee camps and their relationship to the towns they are in is complicated and surprising - because HISTORY IS NEVER SIMPLE. I may get slammed for this, but it is an important story that needs telling. THREAD
Recently, I visited the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem. There I spoke w/a 28 yr old man whose family fled the Arab village of Abu Ghosh in 1948 and he shared their story...I will withhold his name, because I didn’t ask his permission to share this publicly.
Abu Ghosh is on the main road from Jaffa to Jerusalem, an area of heavy fighting between Israel and Jordan in 1948. Because of this, his family voluntarily evacuated, along with most of the town. They fully expected to return home after Jordan defeated Israel.

1. I know I started tweeting Indian History from 1700 AD to 1858. This stream will be continued in a couple of hours. In the meantime I felt it important to tweet the European History which the European ignorantly know as their 'World History'.
2. The european divided History into two (a) the chronology of events that were recorded, and (b) the History of 'mankind' that has no record of events and therefore imagined. In reality European know of history only from the Biblical times which is 1445 BC or about 3600 yrs ago
3. Our PuraNas are all written at some time until such time they were orally transmitted. Most Puranas, Ithihasas, Vedas do not very much contradict the history. But the Europeans were not even aware of our existence let alone know our history.

It strikes me, reading how much Pericles clearly means to Boris, that he represents a venerable assumption about the Greeks & Romans that makes many classicists today deeply uncomfortable: that they shld serve as inspirations, not to study, but to action

thetimes.co.uk/article/boxed-…
Being inspired by the example of great men to attempt high-reaching feats oneself is, of course, a much more authentically classical response to reading about Pericles than writing about him in an academic journal.
(Although whether that is a good or bad thing is a quite different matter...)

The Sludge Sisters: "A Muddy Mixture" by @JoanSwirsky

The Sludge Sisters
"A Muddy Mixture"
By Joan Swirsky —— Throughout the ages, Jews have been the targets of genocidal forces both large and small, educated and ignorant, liberal and conservative, pagan and religious. 2)
Other small sects and religions have never inspired the particular psychotic animus that Jews have because they never threatened the larger populace as Jews have with blazing green-eyed jealousy—the most powerful emotion of the human species.

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
