6 🧵s to make sense of Israel/Palestine:
1) A history Palestinian non-violent resistance
2) A history of Hamas
3) A history of Israel's ethnic cleansing Palestinians
4) A history of Israel's wars on Gaza
5) A history of Gaza
6) A history of Israel’s use of disproportionate force

The most genocidal country in the world is implanting itself inside the US military.
🇺🇸🇮🇱 The merger between the U.S. and Israel has a third piece almost nobody is talking about. While Section 224 fuses the militaries, Section 622 moves to fuse the intelligence services...
Buried in a 192-page intelligence authorization bill from Sen.Tom Cotton, Section 622 would legally require the president to "expand and enhance intelligence sharing" with Israel across nearly every topic of intelligence interest in the Middle East.
It would prohibit any reduction in that sharing except for a "specific and identifiable national security concern," then force a detailed report to Congress within 15 days justifying it.
Read that mechanism again carefully.
It strips the president of the ability to limit what America tells Israel, then makes any attempt to do so a political fight the Israel lobby can frame as being "against Israel's security."
It welds the intelligence spigot open by law.
Now stack the three pieces moving through Congress at once:
-The Stutzman resolution phases out visible aid.
-Section 224 integrates the militaries.
-Section 622 mandates intelligence sharing.
Each one is less publicly accountable than the last.
Aid is a line item voters can see.
Intelligence liaison happens in the dark, where no price tag ever appears.
The strategy is to move the relationship out of public view precisely as public support collapses.
And the timing is the most scandalous part.
The Pentagon just rated Israel a "critical" espionage threat.
Congress's response to all of it is to legally mandate that America share more secrets with the country its own spy agencies say is robbing it.

They want us to believe the terrorists are the ones destroying the weapons rather than using the weapons.

Another insane body-cam video from the Filton 6 trial showing the violent Elbit security guards at work.
This one shows guard Angelo Volante brandishing a sledgehammer, repeatedly screaming at acquitted defendants Fatema Zainab Rajwani and Charlotte Head to "get the fuck down," even after they had already complied with police instructions.
The pair are holding their hands up quietly and clearly pose no threat.

“Greater Israel,” A Brief History open.substack.com/pub/zachar…
Israel does not recognize the idea of borders.
Katz: “Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region, and most of the territory of Gaza…”

JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Observation.
Trump is celebrating a new Iran agreement centered on a commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.
According to ABC's Jonathan Karl, that same commitment appeared in the very first paragraph of President Obama's nuclear deal more than a decade ago.
Think about that.
First came Obama's agreement.
Then Trump tore it up.
Now Trump is celebrating an agreement built around the same core promise.

What an incredibly good interview. Hard to believe this is CNN.
Jun 13
What a rare find thanks to @ifamericansknew
In response to a Zionist claiming only Muslims commit terrorism, CNN reports on air, between 1980-1985, there were 18 terrorist attacks committed by Jews, 15 of them were by members of the Jewish Defense League.
Today, Bari Weiss is about to takeover CNN. 🥴

Israel’s genocide has been funded by many people who bought Israeli bonds underwritten by major global banks. Barclays and BNP have stopped that: good.
Now waiting for @GoldmanSachs, @BankofAmerica, @Citi, @DeutscheBank and @jpmorgan to do the same.

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.
Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial.
Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

MAGA voted for a no-more-forever-wars President who was going to drain the swamp of pediophiliac corruption.
They got the most war, most corruption & most pediophilia of any President in US history.

One of the best videos on genocidal mania in Israel & Israel’s deliberate mass murder of Palestinian children.
Jun 12
Israel just killed another baby: 7-month-old Sam. He joins my 14 nieces & nephews, and over 20k Palestinian children.
We’re told they were mistakes, collateral damage, or human shields.
This video will show you that this is a lie. Israel wanted to kill these children.

FDD in fact did its best to defend the Saudi government after they murdered Jamal Khashoggi for his ideas.
Jun 12
I'm actually quite proud to work at FDD and not at a place where people engage in the worst kind of social media gotcha-ism to crucify someone for the worst possible interpretation of something they said, something they never intended.
FDD is a think tank. We engage with ideas. We don't call for murdering people for their ideas. That's what Iran did by putting FDD on its hit list.
No, we advocate policies and call out terrible ideas, like when Beinart advocates for Jews to relinquish self-determination in the world's only Jewish state. Anyone who knows the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and follows Palestinian current events (or other sectarian conflicts) would know that that is a recipe for a bloodbath.
Khamenei, Sinwar, and Nasrallah all engaged in military efforts to destroy Israel and were themselves dealt with militarily.
Beinart engages in intellectual efforts to destroy Israel and should be dealt with intellectually.
Perhaps stepping out of social media's toxicity would be helpful for those putting words into Mark's mouth and attacking him for their imagination.

Israel just kidnapped a 20yr old Palestinian student, taking her hostage. She won’t be called a hostage & she won’t be reported on in the US bc she’s Palestinian.
Had Palestinian forces took an Israeli civilian hostage — would be front page news in every mainstream media outlet.

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”

One of the most common lies spread about the 20th century Palestine is that it was actually the Jews who called themselves, "Palestinians" or "the Palestinians."
This is false.
Some 170 references to the term "the Palestinians" can be found in Arabic sources from 1898-1914 to refer to the Arabs of Palestine academia.edu/49925414/The_Or… and a half dozen references to "Palestinian" or "Palestinians" can be found in European languages from 1870-1897 to refer to the Arabs of Palestine academia.edu/63693212/How_th…
So where does this Zionist lie come from?
Jews, like Christians and Muslims and other inanimate objects in Palestine (e.g. plants, journals) were modified with the adjective, "Palestinian," as in "Palestinian plants" or "Palestinian journals" or "Palestinian Jewry." This was often the case in English, although not Hebrew. In Hebrew, the Zionists rarely if ever used this used this verbiage.
In other words, Palestinian was a qualifier in the English language to refer to things in Palestine.
Then, in 1925, the British established the colonial state known as the Government of Palestine and introduced what they called “Palestinian citizenship” in 1925.
They explicitly stated “all the residents of Palestine, whether Jewish or not Jewish,” were Palestinian citizens.
Yet the term "The Palestinians" in English or even simply "Palestinians" was rarely, if ever, used in English to describe the Jews of Palestine. I challenge a Zionist apologist to find me even a single reference to "the Palestinians" in English that is obviously refering to the Zionist community of Palestine. Find me even a single reference.
The only reason Zionists love this weird distortion of history is to undermine a Palestinian identity. That's it. it's identity genocide. They want to genocide the Palestinian identity and think they are doing this by falsely claiming Jews were "the Palestinians."
a lie to genocide an identity. zionism in a nutshell.
Jun 12
In the 20th Century the nomenclature of "Palestinian" mostly referred to the Jews, and Arabs called themselves some version of Arab, such as Southern Syrian or Egyptian. Most Arabs are recent within the last 120 years or so. There was no country of Palestinians, of Arabs.
