What we're seeing in the US with the defeat of Israel lobby stalwart Elliot Engel is the result of decades of grassroots organizing for Palestinian rights in the West.

It's part of a wider trend in the collapse of the lobby's bipartisan consensus.
The policy of unquestioned support for Israel by social democrats and liberals is today contested in both the grassroots of both the Democratic and Labour parties.
As one former AIPAC operative -- Eric Gallagher -- admitted in Al Jazeera's censored film, The Lobby -- USA: “The foundation that AIPAC sat on is rotting”.

Since Gallagher made that inadvertent admission, his then employer The Israel Project has collapsed after a funding crisis. The crisis reportedly wasn't helped by Al Jazeera's expose of TIP's methods: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…

Just watched "We Will Dance Again," a BBC film written & directed by former (?) Israeli army reservist Yariv Mozer (who took part in the failed 2006 invasion of Lebanon).

Many significant omissions but perhaps most striking: the disappearance of the "Hamas rape campaign" lies. Image
Aside from two interviewees in the film who make extremely vague insinuations of fears of rape, even the word "rape" does not feature.

It didn't happen. @AliAbunimah has led the way in debunking this particularly malignant lie: electronicintifada.net/tags/mass-rape…
Raz Cohen, the former Israeli special forces soldier who repeatedly lied to mainstream media about seeing people raped at the Supernova festival –– and whose quote was behind the NYT's notoriously fake "Screams Without Words" headline –– DOES NOT APPEAR and isn't mentioned. Image

🧵A thread of Britain's direct military & intelligence participation in Israel's Gaza genocide, based on @kennardmatt's @declassifiedUK reporting:

1) 8 May: "The Royal Air Force (RAF) has flown 200 surveillance flights over Gaza since December..."
declassifieduk.org/revealed-uk-mi…
"... March saw the highest number of British spy flights over Gaza with 44 missions ... Gaza sits around 30 minutes flight time from the base [in Cyprus] so it is likely the RAF has gathered around 1,000 hours of surveillance footage over Gaza."
"A British spy flight was in the air on Monday April 1 when three Britons were killed in an Israeli strike on aid workers in Gaza. John Chapman, 57, James Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, were among seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in the targeted assassination."

Breaking: ICJ dismisses Israeli attempt to rule out the South African case of genocide against Palestinians on technical grounds –– i.e. the court rules it a fact that there is a dispute between SA and Isr. on the question.
Breaking: ICJ rules there's a prima facie case to answer in South Africa's genocide case against Israel.
Breaking: The ICJ judge is now running through the genocidal language of Israeli politicians.

Cites infamous statements by war minister Yoav Gallant on siege and "human animals," as well as president Isaac Herzog's "entire nation" bile.

Nasrallah: The Al-Aqsa Flood operation was 100% a decision of the Palestinian resistance alone, and we salute the secrecy in planning.
Nasrallah: Al-Aqsa Flood proved once again that the entity is weaker than a spider's web. There are now some Israelis who believe this too.
Nasrallah: Al-Aqsa Flood was the right, correct and courageous choice. The enemy was in a state of loss and confused. It seems they were all asleep. It took hours for Netanyahu, Gallant and the others to show their faces.

Gutted to announce: my Bristol book talk tomorrow has been postponed after senior Unite leaders (seemingly @UniteSharon & @gailcartmail themselves) intervened to block local activists and staff from hosting me at Tony Benn House. @AliAbunimah reports: electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Assistant general secretary @gailcartmail even had the chutzpah to smear my book in exactly the same terms as the Israel lobby, claiming it “has already caused deep hurt among Jews in Britain” and that it is "inflammatory."
Since when are unions not supposed not to debate "inflammatory" political topics just because it might hurt feelings?!

If unions can't even discuss controversial topics now, what even is the point of them?

With the student protest against @TzipiHotovely at LSE being roundly attacked by both the Israel lobby and the British government, here's a thread reminder of the Israeli ambassador's long record of far-right extremism 🧵👇
In May @TzipiHotovely was the star speaker at a Zionist demonstration in support of the Israeli embassy in London at which participants called for Palestinian villages to be burned and chanted in support of the genocidal Rabbi Meir Kahane electronicintifada.net/content/london…
Last year @TzipiHotovely called the Nakba, the well-documented 1948 expulsion of 800,000 Palestinians "a popular Arab lie": middleeasteye.net/news/uk-israel…
