.@lisanandy I’m sorry Lisa but us Zionists are a bit confused. You support Zionism as the right of Jews to self-determination in a safe & secure Israel. Good. But when asked recently why you have signed a pledge supporting the right of “Palestinians to return to their homes” 1/7 Your spokesperson, Jade Azim said “It is a long standing principle of ‘international law’ that those people made refugees in the wars of 1948 & 1967 have a right to return home”.

THREAD ON JUDEA & SAMARIA OR THE WEST BANK (you choose). This week’s Israeli elections seem to have acted as a trigger for the uneducated in ME history & the usual anti-Israel suspects to advise us all on Twitter that it is Israel’s fault that 2.2m WB Palestinians can’t vote. (1) This seems an opportune time to state a few facts on the actual status of the WB.

1) A THREAD ON #JackieWalker & HER CLAIMED JEWISH STATUS.
Why is this important? Because Walker trades on her “As a Jew” status. In fact she doubles down on it.

The first thing to understand is that Jews are both a religion & a “people”. You CAN be Jewish without believing in any religion, or G-d, or Moses & you aren’t disqualified if you eat bacon & never go to synagogue.

.@terrytini99 Hi Terry. Please allow me to explain. This might take me a few tweets but hopefully by the end of the thread you’ll understand. (1) Let’s not go into too much detail of the historical narrative - suffice it to say that Israel is a 70 year old democratic country broadly populated by 1.8 million Arabs and 6 million Jews. It became an independent State in 1948 roughly at the same time as Pakistan & Jordan. (2)

.@BrightonBDS @BrightonPSC @BenJamalpsc @SussexFriends @NorthWestFOI @mishtal 1/ It started last Saturday when video emerged from Brighton town centre of a woman violently attempting to grab the phone off a non-Jewish Israel supporter after allegedly calling him a “f***ing Jew” 2/ It was pointed out to @BrightonBDS that this woman has been seen on a number of occasions standing with the anti-Israel supporters that gather in Brighton most weeks.
