Live-streaming from Zionist “anti-Semitism” rally in front of the US Capitol twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
At today's pro-Israel rally masked as rally against antisemitism, I met a guy in a "Kahane was right" repping the racist demagogue.

Asked if anyone at the rally expressed concern over the fascist symbol, he replied, "Not one."

(Sorry, audio from stream was fatally out of sync)
This older white man insisted he was indigenous to the land of Palestine ("Judea and Samaria") and said it was antisemitic to say otherwise.

And like others I spoke to, he conceded that American Jews today face no institutional discrimination or barriers to achievement.
"If you're anti-Israel, you're antisemitic," was the talking point of the day. And according to this guy, if you're Palestinian, you should go to Jordan or get a "green card" if you want to continue to live in historic Palestine.
"Zionism is de-colonization," this demonstrator insisted, as he denounced "Islamic imperialism"
A lone counter-protester had his sign reading "Fuck Your Settler Colonialism" snatched by a biblical re-enactor and ripped up by a speaker near the stage as security physically forced him away
Listen to the touching speech taking place as I entered the rally

It's revealing that Ana thinks @aaronjmate should be ashamed to be among people like Mpho Masemola (front left), a renowned South African anti-apartheid activist who was a prison mate of Mandela at Robben Island.

Only the most clueless neocon would sneer at someone like him.
After a week of McCarthyite lies, TYT/Jacobin's @AnaKasparian pushes an article by a NATO spook site to denigrate the name of Serena Shim, a courageous journalist who died under suspicious circumstances while reporting on covert Turkish arms deliveries to death squads in Syria
Paul Larudee is a Bay Area anti-war activist who works as a piano tuner. I've personally seen him lead groups to Homs to deliver aid to families ravaged by the dirty war waged on Syria in the name of the policy Ana supports.

No words can capture the stupidity of this smear.

Lemon says Borgen was "wearing a yarmulke" but omits video & photos showing he was wearing a hoodie that would have covered any kippa.

Video also shows him attempting to charge at the accused after the melee, shouting, "One on one!"

One youth is now charged with a hate crime.
If Borgen was targeted *as a Jew* - and not as a pro-Israel demonstrator engaged in a political dispute with Palestinians - then how could anyone see the kippa he claimed he was wearing?

He was wearing a hoodie, bore no religious garb I can see, yet it's treated as a hate crime ImageImage
CNN's @donlemon claims the accused were chanting "F Jews" but offers no evidence. He also says Jews are removing mezuzahs from their doors because they are being hunted down at home, which is absurd

It looks like an effort to change the subject from piles of dead kids in Gaza.

Zionist hoodlums in Canada assaulted supporters of Palestine, posted deceptively edited video to paint themselves as victims, and elicited statements from politicians condemning the actual victims of their racist thuggery. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
In this video - completely ignored by Canadian politicians - police had to protect Palestine solidarity demonstrators from a mob of violent Zionist hoodlums, including one who was threatening to run them over (see Laith's thread) in his SUV
This same group of Zionist hoodlums - portrayed as victims of anti-Semitism by Canadian politicians - assaulted a Palestinian teacher in Washington DC in 2017 and attempted to wreck my 2016 Pen Canada talk in Toronto, requiring riot police to intervene jta.org/2017/12/25/uni…

Ben Caspit, prominent mainstream Israeli pundit, concludes "Israel has undoubtedly wasted its strategic plan" in Gaza, while "Hamas has scored several historic gains" al-monitor.com/originals/2021…
Ha'aretz editor-in-chief Aluf Benn calls Israel's military campaign its "most failed and pointless Gaza operation ever," says "the military has no idea how to paralyze Hamas’ forces" and is afraid to fight it face-to-face for fear of heavy losses haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haas echoes emerging consensus that Israel has failed in its military campaign against Gaza and urges Biden to enact a ceasefire to protect Israel from grave political consequences

In 2014, Israel blew up Basha Tower, home to many Palestinian media offices & major “press freedom” outfits said nothing. Last week, it bombed Shorouq Tower, base of Palestinian media offices - more silence.

Is this what it will take for these NGOs to condemn Israel’s terror?
This is such a pathetic and revealing statement by the corporate-backed @pressfreedom demanding Israeli “provide...justification” for its deliberate attacks on journalists. cpj.org/2021/05/israel…
There will be no #PsakiBomb condemning Israel’s military dictatorship as it literally bombs journalists working under siege in Gaza. This is the “rules based order,” where the US green lights apartheid terror.
