Reprehensible misuse of the memory of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Makes us look like neurotic freaks.

Tired of this deeply irresponsible rubbish being published. "The jews are a monolith and they think like this." No room to speak to people without brainworms @Independent? Image You have a right to be safe, not to feel safe. British jews, especially white british non haredi jews, are incredibly safe in the UK. Safer than PoC, GRT community, trans and queer people. A community coddled into thinking they deserve to not see opinions they don't like!

THREAD

What the International Left gets WRONG about South Africa, why it must interrogate its internalized anti-Boerism and learn from Afrikaner Leftists...

1/1,000,000 This is a critique OF the Left FROM the Left.

Anyway, so the government's plan to set up African homeland proto-states on 10% of the land for 85% of the population is basically the only way forward.

If someone can support Israel while it drops White Phosphorus - an illegal weapon that burns through bone - on refugee camps, schools & hospitals, there really is no limit to what barbarity they will support.

[Gaza city, 11 October 2023] Image White Phosphorous is banned by Protocol III of the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.

It is a crime.

What passes for analysis from Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain and the Jewish Chronicle THREAD When Jews were told they should stay at home... Nice set up. We'll give him that It was an extraordinary clash between the Jewish leadership and the Jewish masses. When antisemitic marches took place in London and elsewhere, the Board of Deputies, the representative body of British Jews, told its members not to fight back, but to stay at home. “We don’t want to be seen as rowdy or confrontational,” the Board said, “nor do we want to do anything that would disturb the peace, and certainly nothing that would bring us into conflict with the police. Keep your heads down and ignore the antisemites.”

G-d full of mercy who releases prisoners
Divides seas and breaches barriers:
Sound a great shofar for our liberty
And carry out a miracle to gather in our exile
And gather us in quickly from the four corners of the earth to the land Return them to the land Adonai: and they will return
Blessed are they: in their expulsion and in their return
Cry freedom: let judgement roll like a wave upon Jerusalem
And justice like a mighty stream to Gaza

1 August 2020 - Barry Sheerman MP tweets about "silver shekels" in reference to 2 Jewish businessmen.

He deletes the tweets and apologises.

Labour's statement: "Barry has deleted the tweets and apologised. He deeply regrets the offence caused."

That is the end of the matter. Image Why the difference in response from Labour?

It is because Abbott is an outspoken Left MP who faces metric tonnes of racism and misogyny and Sheerman is another rightwing warmonger.

It's that simple.

Claiming The Nazis Were Leftwing Is Holocaust Revisionism

In addition to being straightforwardly false, this claim obscures a key component of Nazi brutality: the mass murder of trade unionists, socialists and communists and the total subjugation of the working class. 1/4 Dachau concentration camp was opened in March 1933, mere weeks into the Nazi regime. Its original purpose was the internment of "political opponents", i.e. communists, socialists and social democrats. It was later expanded to imprison Jews, Roma and other victims. 2/3

Some Torah for the present moment:

To articulate the past historically does not mean to recognize it ‘the way it really was’ (Ranke). It means to seize hold of a memory as it flashes up at a moment of danger. (1/5) Historical materialism wishes to retain that image of the past which unexpectedly appears to man singled out by history at a moment of danger. The danger affects both the content of the tradition and its receivers. (2/5)

The worrying thing about David Baddiel's book isn't the content (myopic nonsense) - it's the promotion of it as THE definitive account of modern antisemitism.

An account totally focused on "progressives" - with scant mention of the Radical Right - is a grotesque misdirection. Baddiel can write a solipsistic screed about Twitter beefs if he wants. His book makes no attempt to be a general overview of the threat faced by Jews. That's not his project.

Yet it's treated by the media circus as if it is the ultimate account of antisemitism.

We all know no-one should profit from antisemitic hate speech right? Well, tell that to the @JewishChron.

In their media pack they advertise that they've run (at least) one event with Nigel Farage as a speaker. The JC is using their connection with an antisemite to make money. Important bits first. The media pack has a 2020 calendar so it is probably just over a year old. Which means, all of our examples below bar one had been published when they tried to make money from an event with Nigel Farage. They knew what he had said and didn’t care.

This is utter nonsense!

'Cultural Marxism' has not been 'misappropriated' by the far-right. It IS a far-right conspiracy

It doesn't "inadvertently" act as a dog-whistle. It IS a Nazi talking point

Shameful attempt by Andrew Percy to avoid the fact his party has a Nazi problem. Seriously disappointing from @antisempolicy & @DannyStone1

"Cultural Marxism is a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory" is the first line on Wikipedia!

Nothing "inadvertent" about it.

Why are you making excuses for the mainstreaming of Nazi ideas in the Tory Party?

The 2002 Rome Statute of the ICC defines the Crime of Apartheid in clear and succinct language.

Anyone wanting to accuse (or defend) Israel of it would benefit from giving it a quick read.

(cn: crimes against humanity, violence, sexual violence)

[1/9] The 'crime of apartheid' means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalised regime of systematic oppression and domination...

[2/9]

The most obvious one is that Palestinian and Israeli civilians living in Area C are governed by 2 seperate Israel-run legal systems.

Israeli Settlers are tried in the Israeli Civil Court system.
Palestinians are tried in Israeli Military Courts.

Separate and unequal! Worth noting that "one apartheid policy" is a vague framing.

Apartheid, as defined by the 2002 Rome Statute, is "policies and practices", "inhumane acts" [note the plural] "committed for the purpose of establishing... domination by one racial group" [a system-wide definition]

Solidarity with @GemBolton ♥️

She is getting beef from the Jewish Chronicle for saying something so obviously true: Israel is an Apartheid State "Israel is an Apartheid State" is not antisemitic for several obvious reasons:
(1) it doesn't express hostility towards Jews at all
(2) it is clearly true
(3) it isn't about Jews at all
(4) lots of Jews say it all the time

Good morning Khaverim 🌄

To get you all ready for the day ahead, we're going to play a game called "Who Said It, Hitler or Herzl?"

(Game idea shamelessly stolen from @the_minyan) We're going to post quotations from either Adolf Hitler or Theodore Herzl and will have to guess Who Said It?

We have edited the pronouns in the quotation which would have otherwise given the game away.

Okay, now do everyone who's said this about JVL... Obviously there are big differences between us and JVL but it is super clear to us that they way the have been treated by supposed "defenders of the Jewish community" has been shameful.

Hyper-partisan Leftie Jews in the Labour party absolutely have the right to organise as such.

As you can see, we are not participating in the 48 hour Twitter silence.

It is not helpful to make Wiley the focal-point of online social media anti-racism when David Duke, fmr Grand Wizard of the KKK (and his ilk), has been tweeting since 2009.

#NoSafeSpaceForJewHate It is the racists, not their victims, who should vacate social media.

Silence is a questionable tactic against bigotry.

Instead of 48hours silence, we're going to shout out 48 organisations who are doing the difficult work of building a world free of racism, poverty & violence.
