Alongside Israel Palestine War, a 2nd war of language is also being waged. What describes the dominant Israeli perception of Palestine, past, present, future?

Zionists, Fundamentalist Settlers & the State have told us & are telling us...

#GazaGenocide | #CeasefireForGaza

🧵⬇️ Image "Palestine is a country without a people; Jews are a people without a country"
- Israel Zangwill, a Zionist, 1901

"Palestine has its inhabitants... twice as thickly populated as USA"
- Zangwill, now looking for a homeland other than Palestine

Rashmi Samant claims #TheVaccineWars by #VivekAgnihotri is based on "facts". She herself was ejected as Oxford Union President after complaints (racism about Malaysia, anti-semitism about Holocaust & transphobia) and claimed Hindu victimhood.

Facts about COVID19 in India 🧵... Image The biggest lie was massive undercounting. Journalists recorded anomalies incessantly. Neither Narendra Modi nor Vivek Agnihotri in Vaccine Wars will address the criminal falsification. Academics/Sociologists put deaths at 50 lakh+. Modi's count? 5 lakh...

Deplorable that #NamoAt72 endures hashtags like #NationalUnemploymentDay & #राष्ट्रीय_बेरोजगार_दिवस.

Record job loss, inflation & cronyism are no excuses not to say #HappyBdayModiji.

Since I'm jobless, here's a thread of videos to entertain Narendrabhai & other jobless folk... Modi the Mathematician figured out where the 2ab in (a+b)² comes from. You see, no one had taught him that (a+b) * (a+b) inherently produces it.

So he spent his entire sojourn in some Himalayan cave to come up with this explanation...

This account, whose sources are discussions with Nana Chudasama, RSS/Jan Sangh publications, says the British "most feared and hated" RSS & Jan Sangh.

Fearing & hating Jan Sangh is anachronistic revisionism. It was founded in October 1951, well after the Brits had left.. As for the RSS and the Hindu Mahasabha, the flag-bearers of Hindutva pre-Independence: What were they doing while the Indian National Congress was repeatedly agitating for freedom?

When INC demanded independence in 1939...

#SriLankaProtests illustrate results when bigoted policy intersects economic incompetence.

Bodu Bala Sena appropriated non-violent Buddhism to fuel majoritarianism in #SriLanka. Various Hindutva elements appropriate syncretic Hinduism to drive supremacist nationalism in India... Image The Rajapaksa clan patronized the BBS.

#GotabayaRajapaksa inaugurated their "Buddhist Leadership Academy" in 2013, saying it's of "timely importance” & "they are engaged in a nationally important task & should not be feared or doubted by anyone"...

Modi claimed he did nothing Indians can be ashamed of. The lie and brazenness with which he said it was unfortunately followed by the #NupurSharma debacle. But #ModiShamesIndia should have trended since 2014 or earlier. A thread to explain:
#BJPShamesIndia, #BJP_Defames_India 🧵 Image Since 2002
Modi was easily the crassest CM of his time & the crassest PM ever. The insults he hurls at opponents, particularly women, border on the obscene. They do not bear repeating but are well documented as are his dogwhistles against Muslims...

Hey @ShekharGupta, you claim that WHO estimate of India's #COVID fatalities is based on zero data, just modeling.

After sifting all data compiled in this 🧵, provided by journalists who took their vocation seriously including in @ThePrintIndia, give us your undercount estimate.. Source:ICMR, May 2020 study
ICMR's Case Count Estimate: 64.68 Lakhs (based on 0.73% of population infected in 700 villages & urban areas)

If today's ruling dispensation somehow seized power on #15August 1947, notwithstanding its cowardly absence from the freedom struggle, what country would it have created? This thread of Golwalkar's thoughts & Organiser (RSS mouthpiece) OpEds offers clues..
#यह_आज़ादी_झूठी_है Image The RSS was quite clear that Hindus, Hindu traditions, Hindu culture and Hindu ideas & aspirations are the sole foundation for India.

It didn't even wait for #IndependenceDay to declare its cultural nationalism, publishing this editorial on 14th Aug 1947... Image

Rumours, of the tapping of Indian political, judicial & media figures, using Israeli NSO Group's Pegasus platform, are circulating. The Modi govt has allegedly purchased the platform (Pegasus is only sold to govt agencies).

This thread might be worth re-visiting: Compromising phones thru Pegasus mirrors the phishing attacks that allegedly compromised computers of civil activists Rona Wilson & Surendra Gadling and planting of forged documents in the #bhimakoregaon "case":

Since Modi slid into the driver's seat, consumer fuel prices are "market-dictated" only on paper.

To ward off blow-back, BJP trolls peddle an Oil Bonds narrative to justify the world's worst oil & gas pricing/tax regime.

Do their 2 claims have any basis in fact? 🧵... 1. Who created Oil Bonds?

September 2000, Vajpayee-led NDA Govt's Petroleum Minister Ram Naik on fuel pricing regime:
"We have... a mixture of three options: adjustment of taxes & duties, issue bonds to control oil pool deficit & increase prices"...

It angers me that the financially illiterate Modi hoodwinks even decent people into believing him. For eg., he peddled the lie that only a small %age of Indians pay tax (Not income tax. Tax).

This thread is a layperson's guess of how many people are liable to pay INCOME tax... Modi's Minister of State for Finance, Anurag Thakur, made an equally idiotic statement - apparently only 1% of Indians pay income tax...
