The only thing the Anti-Semites get right is that (mostly American) Jews assign to much importance to the holocaust. That might sound insensitive, but the holocaust is not what makes us Jewish and it doesn’t dictate our lives. There is an over reliance on it from certain people.
The gap that the ~15 million more Jews that would be alive right now without the holocaust is so enormous that is it impossible to comprehend. It is the most evil act in history. It also isn’t foundational to Judaism. These are both factual statements.
We need to remember what the Nazis did to our people. But we also need to remember what; Hadrian, Antiochus, Nebudchanezer, Sennacherib and Shalmenezer did.

One of the most annoying things to me as a Palestinian is how we have consistently been promised extreme and maximalist victories by a succession of global vultures—Soviet Union, Iran, now Western leftists—but we always end up with nothing, no sovereign state & thousands of dead.
They can parade around chanting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", but that's not actually going to create a state for Palestinians.

Creating a state for Palestinians will take hard work and actual diplomacy & negotiations with the government of Israel.
Like you can write as many blog posts about "settler colonialism" as you want, but this won't actually create a state for Palestinians.

Andrew Bridgen has been ordered to pay Matt Hancock £44,300 in defence costs, after his libel claim against the former Health Secretary was ruled "defective" earlier this month, and needing amendments before the case could proceed. 🧵

independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
While Andrew Bridgen initially tried to claim victory, because the judge didn't throw out his libel claim completely, he's apparently failed to amend his complaint since then.

The latest ruling against him warns that if he doesn't do so soon, the whole case will be dismissed. Image
Andrew Bridgen raised over £100,000 for his libel claim, via a crowdfunding site owned by his former colleagues at Reclaim. Oddly he's still failed to declare most of this money in the Parliamentary Register of Interests.

He's now begging for more .. to pay Hancock's lawyers. 🤦‍♂️ Image

🧵 Today’s decision by the @CIJ_ICJ to order additional provisional measures in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel highlights the continuing catastrophic deterioration of conditions & the growing threat to Palestinians in occupied #Gaza since the ICJ’s last ruling.
The Court’s decision to issue additional measures is a clear indication of the State of Israel’s failure thus far to comply with the previous legally binding measures issued by the Court, as already reiterated by @Amnesty and others.
In its decision, the ICJ stressed that Palestinians in Gaza are no longer facing only a risk of famine, but that famine is “setting in” necessitating the modification of the original provisional measures order to address the exceptionally grave developments.

A literal blue dye somehow treats depression, Alzheimer's and even cancer.

Here’s just some of the incredible things METHYLENE BLUE can do for your health:Image
Methylene blue used to be a treatment for cancer.

In the late 1800s/early 1900s, one doctor reported he treated 150 inoperable malignant cancers with methylene blue.

Others also used it with great success. Image
Recent studies show why methylene blue worked so well for cancer.

It restores energy production: the prime cause of cancer

and significantly impairs the growth of brain cancer cells.

To the point where these cancer cells simply cannot survive alongside it.Image

ISRAEL vs. the WORLD

A thread of Israel’s involvement in conflicts all over the world. 🧵
1️⃣The Rwandan Genocide - 1994
Israel supplied significant weaponry to the Hutu militias responsible for the slaughter of over 1 million Tutsi civilians in Rwanda over the course of 100 days.

The arsenal provided by Israel included 5.56mm bullets, rifles, and grenades. The Rwandan Genocide stands as one of the most horrific genocides in modern history.
Israel has made repeated efforts to hide its arms shipments to Rwanda both before and during the genocide, out of fear of legal repercussions.
2️⃣ Apartheid South Africa 1948 - 1994
Israel maintained an alliance with the South African apartheid regime, supplying anti-riot vehicles and weaponry to suppress the native black population. Israel aided the regime in developing nuclear weapons and opposed the global embargo and boycott of apartheid South Africa.
For decades, the Zionist Federation in South Africa celebrated individuals like Percy Yutar, who prosecuted Nelson Mandela for sabotage and conspiracy against the state in 1963, resulting in Mandela's imprisonment for 27 years.

In the early stages of the pandemic, I got very concerned about public health messaging aiming at terrorising people into submission rather than providing information that would help them to process the situation and try to do what's best for them.
1/
I was particularly alarmed by the doomsday rhetoric of the 'eternal pandemic narrative' that was taking hold. I made many enemies among 'Covid-conscious' people for trying to push back against this dystopian vision.
2/
With the benefit of hindsight, I appreciate my messaging could have been more subtle at times. Then, I felt it was my role to let people know what I knew was ahead, and that it was not the end times ...

1/ When you’re trying to decide how to feel about policy decisions or current events, I find it helpful to ask: Who is being protected?
🧵
2/ The BC NDP just greenlit the Tilbury LNG marine jetty, choosing to protect LNG exports and fracking expansion over the public interest. Despite risks to local air quality, marine life and their own climate targets…
