More proof that Zionism is rooted in anti-Semitism:

Trump spewed a blatantly anti-Semitic rant at the conference of the Israeli-American Council.

Trump also attacked left-wing Jews who oppose Israeli apartheid.

And Zionists defended him

By @AliAbunimah electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Socialist Jeremy Corbyn has condemned anti-Semitism nonstop, but because he supports Palestinian rights, Israeli apartheid supporters endlessly smear him as "anti-Semitic"

But when far-right Trump spouts extreme anti-Semitism, Israel supporters defend him
electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Conservative leader Boris Johnson wrote an anti-Semitic book in 2004 depicting Jews as controlling the media and being able to “fiddle” elections

It also uses racist ethnic slurs and refers to Muslims as having “hook noses”

But Corbyn is the one smeared independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

The vast majority of Democratic congressmembers just helped the GOP pass the warmongering NDAA, boosting the US military budget to $738 BILLION per year and funding Trump's ridiculous "Space Force," which will militarize space and cause a new arms race
thehill.com/homenews/house…
Like usual, in their zeal to support bipartisan imperialism, neoliberal Democratic lawmakers compromised with Republicans and cut NDAA provisions that would:

-block Trump from waging war on Iran
-withdraw US support for genocidal war in Yemen
-halt deployment of nuclear warheads
Centrist Washington, DC newspaper Roll Call notes "Democrats ‘got completely rolled’ in NDAA talks"

It adds that the NDAA bill "represents a victory for Republicans"

This is what happens when neoliberal Democrats always compromise, compromise, compromise

Today is the anniversary of the infamous US-backed El Mozote massacre, one of the largest mass slaughters of civilians in the history of Latin America:

On December 11, 1981, El Salvador's US-backed right-wing dictatorship murdered more than 800 civilians.
morningstaronline.co.uk/article/c/anni…
El Salvador's authoritarian right-wing military forces were armed and trained by the US

The Atlacatl Battalion which carried out the El Mozote massacre—killing 800+ civilians—was created by the US School of the Americas

The US tried to drown the socialist FMLN uprising in blood
War criminal Elliott Abrams, then US assistant secretary of state for "human rights and humanitarian affairs," lied to cover up the Reagan-backed El Mozote massacre, and attacked skeptical journalists

Abrams now helps oversee Trump's coup attempts against Venezuela's elected gov

Welcome to the new dystopian era of woke imperialism, where the far-right female dictator installed after Bolivia's fascist coup is portrayed as a feminist icon, and fake women's rights groups backed by right-wing oligarchs try to push a new coup in Mexico
Beyond dystopian: Capitalist propagandists at Forbes depicted Bolivia's far-right racist Christian fundamentalist coup dictator Jeanine Añez, who called the Indigenous majority "satanic," as a feminist idol, while boasting of "How Bolivia was pacified" (by massacring protesters)
This is a look at the real Jeanine Añez, a murderous far-right US-backed dictator whose fringe party got 4% of votes but now claims to be "president," who is actively destroying Bolivia's secular plurinational democracy and erasing the Indigenous majority

I'll do occasional history of #Zionism tweets to set the record straight. First, Zionism was never a monolith. Uganda was briefly considered as the site for a Jewish state. But, in the end, most agreed that joining our existing brethren who had never left Eretz Yisrael was best.
#Zionism was never a colonial plan. European Jews had no power to "colonize" anywhere. We had prayed for our return to Jerusalem every day for 2,000 years. Zionism was seen as a return home. Religious Jews wanted to wait for God to make it happen. Secular Jews were less patient.
Meanwhile, in the region that was once Israel before the exile, Jews and southern Syrian Arabs (they would not have recognized the term “Palestinians”) lived under the rule an ailing Ottoman Empire. After WWI, the British took it over and administered it as Mandate Palestine.

This is a #Thread about one of the many trolls who is targeting #Native and #Indigenous @Twitter accounts.

The account #@Blondi65003273 is interacting with #NativeAmericans by #JustAskingQuestions

Nothing obviously provocative.

#NativeTwitter
One of Blondi’s followers is another account that claims to be #Native #Ojibwe
However, one of her first posts demonstrate her to be not your average concerned Wisconsin #Native from the North Woods. She posts a picture of a dismembered body that is supposed to convince voters that we need a stronger immigration policy to deter crime.

More proof Corbynism is institutionally and culturally anti-Semitic. 🤢🤮
“I am now more careful with how I might use the term Zionist, because a once self-identifying political term has been increasingly hijacked by anti-Semites as code for Jews.” -- Jeremy Corbyn theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

1. I'm not sure how people can read this, and the link in the tweet below, and insist that there is institutional antisemitism in Labour while ignoring the research on Labour supporters and providing nothing but anecdote and extrapolation is support. buzzfeednews.com/article/hnsgra…
2. Here we have Manafort's indictment, where antisemitism was used to influence the US govt., in order to affect political outcomes in the Ukraine (with, seemingly, the assistance of a senior Israeli govt. official) timesofisrael.com/manafort-senio…
3. Then there was the undercover filming of Shai Masot, who was subsequently removed from the UK by the Israeli Embassy, but without any enquiry as to what he was up to.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
