This is a real quote from Helen Mirren on 1967 Image Since this post is going viral. She said this in a Times of Israel interview in 2023 upon playing notorious ethnic cleanser Golda Meir who also said things like 👇🏾

The Axiomatic War being Waged Against You 🧵

This will be a long thread. But it’s an important one. So please bookmark this to save it. There will be some light theory but I will keep it minimal and try to keep the thread as accessible as possible. There’s also a vital ‘call to action’ at the end of the thread. If you’ve been wondering how you can help but feel helpless, have a look at that call to action and see what parts you can do.

So what is an Axiom? (Light theory part)

See this sign =? Basic right? in Maths it’s a common notion that both sides of that equation equal out. So X = Y. That is so self-evident that we have generally agreed that we don’t need to keep investigating what the = sign is. In Maths and the hard sciences, axioms are pivotal to build complex theories that reveal the nature of the world.

For us, without realising it, we build these common frames all the time. These become our own axioms that help us inform the world. Here is one. I am a human, you are a human. That means, our lives both have equal value. Hypothetically, if I were a rat or a cockroach say, you might decide, hang on a minute, maybe I don’t have the same value as you. But let’s get to that a bit later.

Logic

There are many theories of logic, but the one I feel most useful to us in this context is by Quine (1908-2000). He wrote about how all of our axioms, our assumptions about the world form a web of belief. The totality of this knowledge forms a web (each node being one of our beliefs).

Changes to this web, even the outermost parts, impact our core sets of assumptions. But being the people that we are, we don’t tend to change wholesale our opinions every time new facts come to life. Our webs, retract and regenerate.

So for example, if you discover a country is ‘bad’, you naturally won’t assume all countries are bad. But also in addition, you may decide to narrow your reconfiguration down so it’s just a state, a government, or even just a person. This way, your core beliefs don’t really have to change. You don’t have to re-evaluate everything and you continue on with your day.

Sometimes, our core set of beliefs is challenged so profoundly, that we undergo a conversion, a paradigm shift. And everything starts anew. You can sometimes see these revolutions in people. In fact, as an aside, this is why religious converts can be so vulnerable. Because they choose to cut all ties to the previous truths they knew, they start to create new webs and are hungry for axioms to help inform themselves and can be less critical than they later are when they are exposed to new sets of beliefs.Euclid, Eucliding If you’ve read this far, let’s get to the meat of the thread.

What are Israel’s axioms?

The heart is “Israel is like other countries”.

What does this mean? At it’s core, that it is Normal, Secular, Liberal and Democratic. Image

Lesser Evil Calculations

This post has been made for all voters considering voting Democrat on Nov 5 2024.
Many have made the argument, that 'both sides are bad' but essentially Kamala Harris is the 'lesser evil'. So let's examine this in detail. A 🧵Image First we need to engage in a bit of logic. 'Lesser Evil' is a logical statement. We may disagree with the concept, but it IS a logically consistent statement.
'Lesser evil' implies there are 3 types of evil.

1) Lesser Evil
2) Acceptable Evil
3) Greater Evil

These are statements and actions by those who lead Israeli society and as defined by Additional Protocol I (Article 86(2)) to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 can be perceived as having ‘command responsibility’. This responsibility can either be policy, strategic, operational or tactical. As such it includes Israeli Ministers; other senior politicians; as well as senior soldiers.1drv.ms/b/s!AqADv8mRg0…

____
The following statements and actions have been carried out by influential elites who are pro-Zionist. They include non-ministerial politicians (both within the Knesset and including places such as the US). They also include people who can have their opinions published in leading newspapers (both as journalists or thought leaders) and can be invited to voice their opinions in media. As such they have power and influence and can often operate in a grey area between formal and informal modes of power. There are also several inclusions of singers on this list as they meet the afore mentioned criterion of being in the public eye. Opinions published here are generally radicalising and may be perceived as either dehumanising; pro-ethnic cleansing; or of genocidal intent.Image

0) Here follows a list of dehumanising statements or actions that Israelis or Zionists have made against Palestinians.

This thread is long indicating this is a pattern of behaviour and congruent with an ideology which is inflicting massive pain on the Palestinian people.

There are 10 stages of genocide. This mainly focuses on Step 4: 'Dehumanisation'. What you are witnessing in Palestine currently is Step 9 'extermination' (i.e. 10k dead so far, deprival of food, water, medicine and shelter to survivors) and Step 10 'denial' (such as through denying atrocities and mocking victims).

All steps work together. Please use this information in whatever way you can. Remix it, make infographics. Document it. Write to your politicians. Anything that brings us closer to an immediate #ceasefire is vitally important.

Image 1) "Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country's dignity, strength and security! It's time to kiss doomsday. Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighbourhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza. ... without mercy! without mercy!" – Tali Gotlev, Israeli MP for ruling party

1)Did Israel use a Fuel-Air/Vacuum/Thermobaric Weapon on Al-Ahli Hospital?
I will break this down as much as possible using logical reasoning.
- If Israel did not carry out the Al-Ahli attack why did it lie with an audio recording of Hamas?
We know it was a likely fake because: 2) · Audio telephonic recordings are not in stereo:
· Channel 4 news state their evidence suggests that the tone, syntax, accent, idioms are all wrong:
