.@BarackObama’s liberal Zionist racism and general contempt for Arabs and Palestinians oozes from his new book, but this in particular caught me... Arabs are just an easily inflamed irrational, angry mob. The man is unremittingly awful.
Obama promotes the myth that the “conflict” is “ancient” and also he cannot see people in Gaza. It’s as if they don’t exist
Obama has discovered that there are children in Gaza, but in a careful act of triangulation equates them with children in Israeli settlements
Obama doesn’t mention even once the summer of 2014, when he helped @netanyahu slaughter 551 children in Gaza in 51 days. You may think it’s because he’s ashamed. It isn’t. It’s because he doesn’t care and never did. A total sociopath.

I didn't mention Jews. I mention Israel lobby (the organized array of groups and individuals that advocates for a brutal, racist apartheid regime to be able to murder Palestinians and steal their land with impunity). If you equate that lobby with Jews, you're the anti-Semite.
Too many UK leftish-ists have been bullied into believing that if standing up for Palestinian rights "hurts the feelings" of Israel lobby/Zionists activists who falsely claim to speak for all Jews, then standing up for Palestinians is anti-Semitic. Rubbish
British pro-Israeli-apartheid activists have successfully weaponized the reasonable view that oppressed groups get to define their oppression. But guess what, Israel's racist regime and its supporters aren't an oppressed group. They are oppressors and their enablers.

An understatement from @amnesty: "France is not the free-speech champion it says it is"

France is one of the most repressive, racist and intolerant of all the sanctimonious and hypocritical Western "democracies."

The thuggish @EmmanuelMacron in action, per @amnesty:

"Last week, for example, French police interviewed four 10-year-old children for hours on suspicion of ‘apology of terrorism’ they apparently questioned Paty’s choice to show the cartoons."
In the French regime, protesting @EmmanuelMacron is blasphemy, while dehumanizing Muslims is "free speech." Per @amnesty:

"In 2019, a court convicted two men for ‘contempt’ after they burnt an effigy depicting President Macron during a peaceful protest."

The fake video of “Uighur being tortured” has crossed my feed several times. Apparently it’s a Taiwanese BDSM porn video. It’s not the only fake video I’ve seen.
There’s also a whole genre of “Uighurs being forced to drink alcohol” videos circulating that are so obviously not what they are claimed to be. Check this one out.
Another example of this transparently ridiculous – but apparently convincing to many people – genre of propaganda. Does this man look like he is being "forced" to do anything?

Rich horrible writers from whose appalling views there is nowhere to escape are whining about being silenced.
Israel is litmus test of free speech. Check each name. How have spoken up for any of the countless people, smeared, demonized or fired for criticizing even mildly Israel’s crimes? If they never said a thing about censorship of BDS on campuses or in Congress they are frauds.
The biggest joke of many is that Cary Nelson signed the letter. This censorious thug cheered on the firing of @stevesalaita for speaking out against Israel’s slaughter of children in Gaza. That disgusting racist hypocrite is now whining about free speech? Vile.

Once again, I am hoping for a clear and convincing @Netanyahu victory tonight. A win by the fake “center left” would revive the totally bogus “peace process” industry and allow more international procrastination and delusion while Israeli apartheid and colonization are unchanged.
While I’m disappointed that @Netanyahu has apparently not secured victory, I take comfort that the results of Israel’s election offer no hope of reviving the “peace process” delusion and fraud.
Any Israeli government will be violently anti-Palestinian. But the gravest danger for Palestinians is one that can market itself to the “international community” as earnest about “peace.” This danger appears to have been avoided.

Attempt to impeach Trump will convince his base (& many others) that US regime elites are determined to remove him by any means. He should be removed by election. For that Dems need a winning program. But @SpeakerPelosi elites still prefer losing to Trump than winning with Bernie
Impeachment would almost certainly fail, handing Trump yet another huge victory. It would be a massive distraction and self-inflicted wound for Democrats, like the 3-year #Russiagate hoax. It’s time for people to stop these delusions.
But suppose impeachment by some miracle succeeded? The result is President Pence. How anyone thinks that is preferable to Trump is beyond my comprehension.
