    As an orthodox jew, I condemn the terrorist acts and war crimes of Israel. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. CRITCIZING ISRAEL ISN'T ANTISEMITISM!!! JUDAISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM !!!!

      If palestine is freed there will be no israel

      I have been watching Al-Jazeera since I was 16, 44 now. Back then I already saw the false narrative of western media on every issue in the Middle East. Deliberately. When I got older I also understood the main cause for this false narrative. The continuation of the the American colony called Israel. Every war in the Middle East was and is for the sake of this cancerous entity

      Western hypocrisy only talks about 7th October 7th October 7th October. They don’t talk about Palestinian land and the environment which Israeli is making totally inhibitable to human before and after 7th October. They bombed in six days is more toxic than USA bombed over Iraq in 1 year. Palestinian land and atmosphere is now completely full of asbestos, heavy metals, nitrates, white phosphorus. Gaza is now really unlivable. Israeli and western media will never ever tell you that they use Palestinian land as dumping land before 7th October.
      *Palestinian are not allowed to have any agricultural land outside around the sea
      * Palestinian are not allowed to dig for wells.
      * Palestinian are not allowed even to collect rain water.

      Nothing but respect. We are all just fellow humans. Its a shame colour-ism is so ingrained in iur language now that it seems impossible to erase. However those who think deeper than face value can always arrive to the conclusion that colour means nothing and is simply a devicive tool. This is why our prophet in his last sermon taught us that the only superiority of a man over another is his piety and god-conciousness. And that the only reason we where made into different tribes and nations of people was so that we can differentiate but also get to know another. Imagine if everyone was white, or brown and everyone looked the same. What a bleak existence that would be. So when u reflect on these words of our prophet pbuh you can appreciate how great of a HUMAN he was

      He sold out when he was marketing himself to MSNBC. It became so evident that he was pandering to the Dems. If you were following him on Twitter you'd have noticed the change.
      Even though they've fired him (and THAT'S what they did) he's still cucking for them. 😢 Here he is talking about Trump being a fascist, but Biden isn't??!! Do you think he doesn't know who Biden is?

      The truth would be nice. Unfortunately, it's not to be found here. Believing charismatic speakers without learning the reality of a situation is shameful. Here's a clue - when "truth" is spoken by people who believe those who commit horrific war crimes - rape, torture, kidnapping, murder - are "freedom fighters", you need to ask yourself why you are believing lies.

      Fascists will always use strawman arguments to try to change the subject and make their feelings the goalposts. It's called Authoritarian Communism
      National Socialism was a front for Zionism. All we need to do is hold them to their own standards, their own definitions, because they want a monopoly over the English language and what words mean. But take away the identity politics and look at the subtext, and the message is clear: they do not believe brown people have a right to defend themselves or self determination, indeed the entire capitalist system is founded on this process of murder and subjagation, enforced by a rhetoric of divine right and indignarion, so that the Bankers can laud hard work, rule of law, and meritocracy...
      They want to conflate Zionism with Judaism, Islam with Terrorism, and Palestinians as Hamas. Just like they did with Osama and Afghanistan and Iraq. Just like they did with Hitler and Germany, Ghadaffi and Libya, Chavez and Venezuela...etc
      Confounding you with their hypocrisy is the whole point, they want to deprive you of the language that indicts them, using Accusation in a Mirror. Its whats Predators do, also known as Grooming.
      To even address their circular arguments is to fall into their trap, and pointless semantic quagmire that they will always try to bring back to their own feelings. Instead focus insistently on attacking the initial premise of the State and its legality, the legality of religious violence and the definition of terrorism. And if its ok for others to do bad things, then surely it is fine that bad things happen to them too, after all, do unto others
      They incite Antisemitism literally so they can use it as a pretext for censorship and violence, the implicit subtext is that they are indeed a Master Race, and believe they have the right to Murder and Assassinate with impunity.
      Therefore while they try to always have their cake and eat yours too, they cannot claim to be the victims, if they also claim they can do no wrong (Infallible or Divine Fallacy) after all, what is good enough for the non jews, is surely good enough for Jews, unless they believe they're above the very laws they invoke...
      One also has to attack their grounds to claim authority to speak for Jews, which is itself Antisemitic, and for the religious extremists; Blasphemous. They are effectively admitting to being dishonest and rely on us playing by their rules, it is important to call out dishonesty and bad faith antics, deceptions etc
      Don't allow yourself to be tricked into playing their rigged game by their rules, instead hold them to their own rules, because Supremacists dont want equality under the law, they want to profit off the suffering of brown people, and especially Muslims.
      That's why they say they killed so many Hamas, because they consider all Gazans, and indeed Palestinians Hamas, which is why Bibi funded Hamas, and why America funded the Taliban, and Isis, and the Mujahideen
      Create a bogeyman to associate in proxy with the target, then stage a crisis that demands the target be eliminated.
      You think it's all just coincidence? Did they fail in all those wars, or was Genocide the whole point all along?
      And who made israel in charge of Humanity, whose in charge deciding what the rules are? Is that what the events of WW2 were for, to create a basis to silence all opposition to their Supremacist Regime...?
      What israeli has not admitted to Incitement to Genocide when 98% support it?
      To suggest their feelings trump the rights of non Jews is to openly admit to fascism.
      A Capital offence by their own religious and State Laws, subject to sentences anywhere in the UN Charter Nations
      Be a shame were we to hold these Fascists and Authoritarian Communists to their own words and their own laws, and rules of engagement...
      This is why we must all call for Govt by People's Referenda, occupy the Capitals until it's in place, or run Mascot Candidates
      Citizen Initiated Single Issue Referendums with a 70/30 split do away with Politicians and Parties altogether
