Women of childbearing age are hunted down “dragnet-style”and undergo forced sterilization, abortions, and unknown drugs. At least half a million Uighur children have been separated from their families, placed in state “children shelters.” #BoycottChina

China is the most advanced police state in the world, with extensive controls and restrictions on every aspect of life, and hi-tech surveillance everywhere to track and capture this ethnic and religious minority. #BoycottChina
The US government, @UN, European Union, the WORLD, must formally call this the genocide that it is and hold the Chinese accountable.

But what can YOU do about it? #BoycottChina
I personally will now boycott EVERY CHINESE PRODUCT I can. This is not easy since we have allowed China to become the manufacturer of just about everything. But we each have a moral obligation to do SOMETHING.

Do your part. Join me. #BoycottChina.

Twitter is full of racists/fools denying Jews' connection to Israel, perhaps because the return of Jews to Israel is so far-fetched, it's hard to grasp.

The astonishing nature of the Jewish return has a modern parallel, the exile of the Tibetans by the Chinese.
THREAD
Tibet was a small, ancient nation sitting at the confluence of two much larger rival cultures, with religious national leadership and temple worship at the focal point of its culture. It was conquered by an expansive empire, in this case Communist China, in 1959.
China exiled Tibetan leaders, destroyed their temples, renamed their country, and repopulated it with foreigners. The world has accepted this situation as normal, even as Tibetans in exile pray for their homeland and Tibetans who remain are brutally repressed.
Sound familiar?

The term “Talmudic Jew” is used by antisemites across Twitter to mean “evil conspiring Jew” or sometimes “fake Jew” bent on controlling the world. The truth is exactly the opposite. The Talmud is a book by an oppressed minority about how to live when you have no control. THREAD
The Talmud was written by Jews living under colonial rule in the Land of Israel and as refugees in what is now Iraq, driven from their homeland in Israel by European colonial imperialists. It’s a book by a minority people struggling to survive under majority oppression.
The Talmud is book by and for the powerless, people who don’t control their own land or fate and are acutely, painfully aware of these facts. It is a compendium of stories, traditions, and law by people whose stories, traditions, and laws have been upended by conquerors.

On this date in 1941, the Jews of Iraq were targeted by the Nazi-sympathizing Iraqi government for a vicious and deadly pogrom, called The Farhud. Hundreds of Jews were killed, thousands were injured, and Jewish life in Iraq was never the same.
THREAD
Within a decade Iraqi Jews lost most citizenship rights. Nearly all 120,000 Iraqi Jews fled or were expelled, their property and possessions confiscated. Thus ended a Jewish community that had been in Iraq for 2,600 years, predating the Arab-Muslim invasion by a millennia.
The Farhud was instigated by one of the 20thC's least known/greatest villains, Haj Amin al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem. A partner of the Nazis, he influenced Palestinian nationalism, Ba’ath parties across the Mideast, and extremists to this very day. thetower.org/article/rememb…
