🇵🇸🇮🇱 Nine minutes of testimonies from both Israeli soldiers and civilians explaining how the IDF killed their own people on October 7.

As explained by Paul Kelly in today’s Australian, the antisemites are engaged in a relentless campaign to destroy Israel’s legitimacy and to discredit every Jew who supports Israel’s right to exist as the homeland of the Jewish people. And it goes much further than, without justification, holding Australian Jews responsible for Israel’s policies. The antisemites, by falsely and maliciously arguing that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians and has become the agent of a new Holocaust, are attempting to strip the Jewish people of their right to a national homeland and to foment hatred directed against them. As Paul Kelly goes on to explain: “This is a breakthrough ideology. Branding Israel as ‘genocidal’ discredits both Israel and Jews. How can it not? It means Jews who are Zionists are also discredited because they back a genocidal nation. It is the basis for fusing anti-Zionism with antisemitism. It invites Australians to reassess Jews on moral grounds and that means they should be treated in a different way. Every sign is that this poisonous campaign is making progress, since Jews in Australia are being treated differently.” It is the constant repetition of these outrageous and false accusations by antisemites that has resulted in the growing normalisation of antisemitism and Jew hatred in Australia which all decent Australians should condemn. The murder of 15 people at Bondi last December did not take place in a vacuum. @australian

NY Times' Hamas rape hoax exposed @MaxBlumenthal and @aaronjmate methodically debunk the Times' bogus report alleging Palestinian militants systematically raped Israelis on October 7, and respond to their own critics' sloppy attacks

There is a sentence that almost never appears in Western coverage: Under international law, a people under military occupation have the right to resist that occupation. This is not a controversial claim. It is in the United Nations Charter. It is in the Geneva Conventions. It has been affirmed repeatedly by the UN General Assembly, explicitly referring to "all available means, including armed struggle." It is the same principle invoked to describe French resistance to Nazi occupation as heroic rather than terrorist. It is so uncontroversial that it doesn't need to be stated when applied to almost any other occupied people in history. When applied to Palestinians, it disappears. Not because it became false. Because the people who control which sentences appear in the news made a decision about which populations are permitted to have legally recognized rights that are spoken aloud in prime time. That decision is political. The silence around it is also political. The pretense that both are journalistic is the lie inside the lie.

The far-right have smashed a HMO housing asylum-seekers.

Well said, Bella. Ban democratic parties from the Brighton Centre. Support Israel’s interference in British politics. Abuse all opponents of Israel’s genocide as antisemites. And never, ever suggest Zionism is racism! It’s the @uklabour way! 🤮

Do Griffith and Bay-denoch know they were in the Tory government that crashed the economy, threw millions of people into poverty, imposed the highest tax burden since WW2 and piled £1.7trillion onto the national debt? Or have they conveniently forgotten? @griffitha @KemiBadenoch
