Genocide is the deliberate attempt to destroy an entire group based on national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity, with the intent to eradicate that group. The primary victims, and the purpose is not territorial or political gain, but the elimination of the group itself.

/1 War typically involves armed conflict between organized groups, such as nations or factions, with the aim of achieving political, territorial, or economic goals. Combatants primarily target each other’s military forces and infrastructure.

The Palestinian movement in the west relies heavily on an ignorant audience that has only 10% of the story, and / or deeply distorted information. Western education *must* correct this by dismantling these key lies on which this hate movement depends.

/1 🧵 Lie 1: Palestinians are just fighting for independence.

No, they're not. Palestinians have been offered independence since the 1930s: what they're fighting for is to end JEWISH independence.

🧵 Important Thoughts Ahead of the U.S. Election

1/ I'm aware this might ruffle some feathers, as I know people from both sides of the political spectrum follow me, but I can't stay silent with the U.S. election coming up. The stakes are too high to ignore for me to not speak 2/ Many of my followers are Trump supporters. I'll be honest: I’m not. There are many things I don’t respect about his leadership, I frankly think he's unfit for office for a number of reasons. But it boils down to a choice between him and Kamala.

It's really quite astounding reading the unhinged antisemitic conspiracy theories this loser has been spewing for the past few days. Here he is blaming the Taliban on the Jews. But what's even more astounding is reading about the guy....

First off, I've never heard of the guy, until I had the misfortune of coming across his insane antisemitic rants and jihadi terrorist support over the last few days. Some examples are here...the guy is a total wack job....

The image here shared by the wonderful @HeidiBachram is a perfect opportunity to use some basic critical thinking to figure out if you're a useful idiot. So here's three pretty simple ways to establish her sign is not just illegal, but moronic.

1/🧵 Let's start with the emotive claim that this poor, wonderful man grew up in a refugee camp that is still one today! So let's look at the facts objectively. Starting with, what is a refugee camp? Well, this is what it is.

*QUICK REFERENCE CHECKLIST*
🧵 You are an idiot, racist, or both, if...

1) You compare Hamas or Hezbollah to Nelson fucking Mandela. 2) You think Jews "colonised" Judea

I'm quite glad the Guardian printed this ridiculous turd, because its a great example of how these people demonise Israel in a way that can only be interpretated as antisemitic. Why? Because all these places have not been removed from the UN....

North Korea – Systematic and widespread human rights abuses, including forced labor camps, arbitrary detentions, and restrictions on freedom of speech or freedom of... Well, anything including haircuts.

I thought quite a lot about the UN over the last few weeks, because it's been so disappointing to reflect on the pretty horrifying reality that it's complicit in a campaign to annihilate a democratic state. Where did I get? Its fundamentally a political organisation.

/1 🧵 What I mean by that is that it's an international body comprised of member states who are all essentially acting on their own political agenda. So that means if the bulk of members share an agenda, the apparatus of the UN becomes a tool for that.

Tines have not changed very much have they? I honestly don't know if people like Fereshteh are victims of ignorance or if they just lie to further their cause, but here's why Israel *actually* invaded Lebanon 40 years ago...

Israel declared its independence on 14 May 1948. The next day, the British Mandate officially expired and, in an official cablegram, the seven-member Arab League, *including*...yes...Lebanon, publicly proclaimed their aim of annihilating Israel and a war began.

A little insomnia thread on Hezbollah - an organisation so many have reached out to in heartfelt support over the last 48 hours. But who are they So? Let's start with their ideology.

/1🧵 Hezbollah's original 1985 manifesto reads:

"We are the sons of the ummah (Muslim community) – the party of God (Hizb Allah) the vanguard of which was made victorious by God in Iran..."

/2

🧵 Lebanon - another case study of the marriage between "the left" and Islamic takeovers.

I'm half Lebanese. And while a thread on the full history would go on for hours, I find this particular part very interesting...

/1 Like the whole area, Lebanon was colonised multiple times over and Islam swept over the country, and like everywhere else, the Christians, Jews and other minorities were made dhimmi. So the story of Arab imperialism is repeated.

/2

🧵

The mistake I made prior to 7 October was believing that the majority of the world were decent people who were not antisemitic. Since then, my eyes have been opened.

/1 The feeling of being gaslit on any level is uncomfortable, and it makes you feel a little like you're going crazy. A lot of Jews are probably feeling like that but it's hard to cling on to truth when a lot of people join in the abuse, even people you trusted.

/2

🧵 AIPAC! AIPAC!

The mere fact everyone reels off this phrase as confirmation of an antisemitic age-old trope is in itself proof that the *real* propaganda system is working. After all, other lobbies operate truly silently.

/1 I'm not going to spend all day researching funding and networks of connections, but I will provide an example of what I'm talking about in the form of the Qatar Foundation

I don't usually wade into the trans debate, but I've come to a point where I think proponents of this movement are so aggressive and unreasonable that it requires standing up to.

/1 I have gen-z children, so I've personally met several "trans" people and my observations are that a variety of things are at play.

🧵 The Myth of the Happy Dhimmi - when will it be discredited?

A thread about *real* apartheid, liberation from opression, and decolonisation by colonisers.

/1 Much of this thread leans on quotes from Lyn Julius, a writer who, like me is the British-born daughter of Iraqi-Jewish refugees. And, like me, and most descendants of Iraqi Jews, she knows the truth behind the myth.

🧵

From 1750 to 1945 a heated debate endured in Western Europe, coined, "The Jewish Question", which pondered of Jewish emancipation- in simple terms a debate over whether they were entitled to equality.

1/5 For two hundred years, the question was asked. In the 19th century hundreds of articles and books were written on the subject, debating resettlement and deportation of Jews from Europe. Some argued they could only deserve equality if they gave up their religion.

🧵

The thing that really winds me up about the global obsession with Palestine is the moral superiority some claim, while indisputably engaging in a clearly racist motivated obsession with anything that involves Jews.

/1 Coming from a family myself that are refugees from *actual* ethnic cleansing (rather than the Palestinian version which is essentially trying to ethnically cleanse someone and failing spectacularly), I perhaps have a bit less empathy than most.

/2

🧵 The Shifting Shape of Western Antisemitism

Religion was once fundamentally inseperable from politics and was very much a tool of power and control over populations, effectively inspiring obedience as well as shared community and values.

/1 That said, it was also once fairly pliable. It was not abnormal for new empires to conquer an area and amalgamate religions so people could carry on with the familiar. Eg: the Romans adopted the Egyptian goddess Isis into their pantheon when conquered Egypt.

/2

🧵 Multiculturalism- near and far.

I'm a middle eastern immigrant living in Britain, with two siblings married to Muslims (one gay) and for us, "multiculturalism" works great. But there's an essential component which is a shared value system and the honest truth is, this...

/1 Minorities are ONLY safe, protected and equal IF they live in a country where minorities are protected. For that to happen, you must have laws which offer that protection, but more importantly you must have a consensus that values equality and freedom.

🧵

A very large number of Muslims have popped into my mentions to tell me that zionism (self determination for Jews) is "genocidal". And there's something very, very interesting about this. Which is this..

/1 The all parliamentary group worked for two years on a working definition of "Islamophobia". The research came up with nine points to summarise what Muslims deeply felt to be "Islamophobia", and therefore unacceptable.

"FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸"

but... to what?

Here's the 2023 report from Amnesty on exactly what that "freedom" might look like in practice....

1) LGBT RIGHTS?
Homosexuality is illegal in Gaza. UNRWA published guidance to staff regarding treating LGBTI people equally and the Hamas authorities accused them of promoting “deviance and moral decay”. There are 336000 homosexuals in Israel at the lowest estimate.

2)
