How U.S. News Media Manufactured ‘Antisemitism on Campuses’
And the fact that the bulk of zionists are Christian Zionists who only support Israel so that it will create a massive war to bring about the Second Coming. That really needs to be mentioned when someone spouts this non-sense.

US As Guilty As Israel For Gaza Assault: Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson
The politicians need to realise that they took an oath to the US Constitution, not any other country. They represent the US people and THEIR interests, not another country's.

Jenan Matari on Media accountability in reporting about Palestine.
This has to get out there. These are her words (with a bit of editing).
Jenan Matari made this speech on 16 October 2023 and it's still relevant. Nearly 7 months later and this is still as relevant as ever because nothing has changed within the media other than more discrimination and the firing of Arab and Muslim journalists from their positions and the continued vilification of people demanding liberation and justice for the indigenous.
After giving this speech at the New Jersey Palestinian American Community Centre press conference in early October, a reporter from CBS came up to her and said, “you know, you really vilified the media over there with that you said,” to which she responded with, “I’m glad my message was received as intended,” and she walked away.
The media must be held accountable. They have manufactured consent for violence against Palestinians all over the world.
We’re watching it happen again heavily as we watch their awful coverage of the peaceful encampments on college campuses across the country. They are criminalizing students, and manufacturing consent for police and state violence against our students.
They must be held accountable.

This is what Democracy looks like...
Are politicians and the media sure they want to describe the protests against the Genocide this way?

Why Jewish Armed Resistance in WWII can Explain Palestine Now
The Jen-o-side supporters don’t get how hypocritical it is to say “never again” while committing €thnic cleansing and Jen-o-side.
Or to put it another way...
Do you condemn the ŻOB? This is what happened then: “The left-wing Jewish Combat Organization (ŻOB) and right-wing Jewish Military Union (ŻZW) formed and began to train. A small resistance effort to another roundup in January 1943 was partially successful and spurred Polish resistance groups to support the Jews in earnest.”
Let's make the comparison a bit more obvious...

So, you want to say Palestine is somehow a made up concept.
In that case, you at least know the significance of the Balfour Declaration. You are a real no hoper if you don't.
But, whatever the case is, you are pretty ignorant if you don't know something about the Balfour Declaration and what it means to the Zionist cause.
So, I am going to review it for you. Please try and wrap your head around this:
The opening words of the declaration represented the first public expression of support for Zionism by a major political power. The term "national home" had no precedent in international law, and was intentionally vague as to whether a Jewish state was contemplated. The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine.Here is the actual document, please read it...
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The text of the declaration was published in the press on 9 November 1917.
Immediately following Britain's declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, it began to consider the future of Palestine. Within two months a memorandum was circulated to the War Cabinet by a Zionist member, Herbert Samuel, proposing the support of Zionist ambitions in order to enlist the support of Jews in the wider war. A committee was established in April 1915 by British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith to determine their policy towards the Ottoman Empire including Palestine. Asquith, who had favoured post-war reform of the Ottoman Empire, resigned in December 1916; his replacement David Lloyd George favoured partition of the Empire. The first negotiations between the British and the Zionists took place at a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour's request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration. Further drafts were discussed by the British Cabinet during September and October, with input from Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews but with no representation from the local population in Palestine.
You got that? It uses the word "Palestine".
There is more than enough evidence that the territory was called Palestine before 1948.
Now, go and shut the fuck up because you are talking shit.

It's Palm Sunday in Palestine--Remember the Christians of Palestine
OK, All you Christian Zionist out there who somehow believe this project is a partnership. Well, it is one, but it's parasitic.
Realise that you are aiding in the ethnic cleansing of Christians from the Holy Land.
You are condoning the destruction of ancient churches and religious texts.
Don't like welfare frauds. People who don't pay taxes living off your hard earned dollars???
John Mearsheimer explains further on why this is bad.

Recording of a Six year old girl slaughtered by Hamas???
Hi, just remember that US politicians repeat Zio atrocity propaganda which has been discredited. This question needs to be put to US Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who repeated the lies. And all the other US Politicians who repeat Zio lies.

Gaza Liberation Seder
I never really got the idea of Easter since, unlike other Christian holidays, it didn't fall on the same day every year. It wasn't until I was married to a Jewish woman that I figured out it was a passover Seder that was geared to fall on Sunday.
One of the big differences between Passover and Easter is the reading of the Seder. I was curious about the Gaza Liberation Haggadah being read by the Columbia Students. I wasn't able to find the exact text, but there are a lot of suggestions for how to conduct the seder this year.
Reading these suggestions make it clear that Zionism isn't Judaism. In fact, it is very contrary to the tenets of Judaism. For example, the quoted texts come from the Australian New Israel Fund's Haggadah Supplement for Pesach 2024:
The Rabbis taught that it was wrong to celebrate the death of anyone, even an enemy: (Proverbs 24:17) “Rejoice not when your enemy falls and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles”. This idea led to the Ashkenazi tradition of removing one drop of wine for each plague. We can not celebrate “with a full cup” knowing we have achieved freedom through the suffering of others.
The Zionist state talks of Amelek, but there is this:
Near the end of the Passover Seder, as we open the door to welcome Elijah the prophet, we recite the shefokh khamatkha, Pour Out Your Wrath: a prayer in which we request divine vengeance be poured upon those who persecute us. In general the idea of vengeful retribution is a challenging text to discuss, but even more so this year.
and this:
For those who believe in God, we can see this as a prayer to remove the need for vengeance from our hearts by relinquishing this to the Divine. Weare not the ones who are able to effect justice adequately in this world, instead we must trust that just responses to evil will be pursued by Hashem. With this faith we can free ourselves from the bitterness of pursuing revenge and instead focus our energies on our journey out of slavery and into freedom.
I've been on quite a few of these protests and have yet to see any real "anti-semitism". What is see are mobs of "Anti-semitic" Jewish students protesting lsraeli actions. Jews protesting against Zionism.
Of course, criticism of the Zionist state and Zionism is smeared as "anti-semitic" by Zionists since they want to try to stop any scrutiny. On the other hand, Zionism is one of those things that fall apart when under scrutiny.

Yes, Arabs are Christian!!!
Mark Hachem is going to teach you some useful Arabic Phrases to celebrate Easter.
Because Jesus didn't look like Errol Flynn.
He was an Arab!
And while we're at it Easter is basically Passover. In fact, it's called Pâques in French, which is the plural of Pâque (or la Pâque juif).
Passover!
