From Texas To Israel, Here Is The Strange Alliance Between Zionist #Christians And #Rabbis To Unleash The #Apocalypse
#zionist
Oh, this is good.
if you're a western leftist, especially an activist, you're likely used to a very narrow concept of what #Zionism means. This post gives a good glimpse of the many different things a #Jew might mean if they say they are #Zionist, not Zionist, or #AntiZionist. Some I agree with, some I don't, some make me want to have a good #Jewish argument.

German memory culture, anti-Semitic Zionists and Palestinian liberation
Germany’s much lauded ‘memory culture’ is pure, empty, self-congratulatory propaganda.
Rachael Shapiro — Anti-Zionist Jewish activist based in Berlin
Published On 1 Mar 20241 Mar 2024
I am a #Jewish #pro-Palestine solidarity activist originally from the #NewYork area and now based in #Berlin. My #grandmother was a #Holocaust survivor from #Cologne who fled to the #UnitedStates during the Second World War at the age of 16. Her parents and much of her family were murdered during the Holocaust. I came “back” to #Germany about five years ago, a decision born largely out of the desire for intergenerational healing for me and for my grandmother, who was alive at the time. I learned German and was able to speak to her in her native language in the last few years of her life. I told her stories about living in Germany, she met some of my friends and she was grateful for the ways in which the country and its people had apparently evolved and atoned for their ugly history.
I am glad she died before I had the opportunity to recognise what a naive, idealistic delusion this was.
In the past few years as I have educated myself, become active in the movement for #Palestinian #liberation and extracted myself from the extreme #Zionist conditioning and #brainwashing baked into the fabric of my upbringing, my appreciation for German “Erinnerungskultur” (“memory culture”) has steeply devolved into the realisation that the entire concept is pure, empty, self-congratulatory propaganda. It is grounded in the intentional, racist displacement of anti-Semitism and responsibility for the Holocaust from the Germans who perpetuated it to the #Arabs, #Muslims and, above all, the #Palestinians, who they now demonise and scapegoat as a deflection and distraction.
A documentary from 1985, Ma’loul Celebrates Its Destruction, provides an account of the destruction of entire villages during the 1948 #Nakba. In it, an interviewer says to a Palestinian man who was displaced: “But they killed six million Jews.” His rightful response is, “Did I kill them? Those who killed them must be held accountable. I haven’t hurt a fly.” The fact that a truth this fundamental has been so deeply buried in the language of “complexity” and “conflict” is a testament to the commitment and breadth of the imperialist narrative disseminated by Israel, the #US and #Germany (and the #West in general). Meanwhile, more than 90 percent of all anti-Semitic incidents in Germany are attributable to the #far-right despite the media’s rampant efforts to ignore statistics, skew the reality of the violence and racism directed at Palestinians, and disguise the true apathy towards the so-called “fight against anti-Semitism”.
While actual incidents of anti-Semitism go largely unpunished, those of us standing in solidarity with Palestine are accustomed to brutal, state-sanctioned violence, repression and surveillance from police and the German government in response to peaceful #protests and #boycotts. This has intensified massively since the #genocide in #Gaza began in October, regularly under the guise of accusations of anti-Semitism and “Judenhass” (“hatred of Jews”). We are accordingly committed to remaining loud and visible, including through our refusal to be excluded from the fight against rising fascism and the extreme-right Alternative for Germany party ( #AfD ).
On February 3, I attended an #anti-AfD demonstration in Berlin as part of the pro-Palestinian bloc with the revolutionary #Marxist group #Sozialismus #von #Unten (“Socialism from Below”), in which I am an active member. I had quite a bit of trepidation about going to this protest after the violent, racist and disturbing experiences of my Palestinian and pro-Palestinian comrades at anti-AfD protests over the past few weeks. Folks protesting the AfD while showing solidarity with Palestine have been ruthlessly harassed, attacked, reported to the police and violently removed by both demonstrators and cops all over Germany.
In general, the #mood was positive, and there seemed to be more of a tangible solidarity in comparison with the earlier demonstrations. I stood with a sign that read, “ #Juedin #gegen die #AfD und #Zionismus, #fuer ein #freies #Palaestina” (“ #Jew #against the #AfD and #Zionism, #for a #free #Palestine”). We handed out flyers encouraging a strategic and systematic mobilisation against the AfD. We spoke to demonstrators about the link between fighting fascism and fighting for Palestinian liberation. We explained that Palestinians in Palestine are currently suffering under the fascist policies we are demonstrating against in Germany, and in Germany, Palestinians and those standing in solidarity with them are already experiencing the concrete infringement and denial of #fundamental #human #rights ( #freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly). We emphasised the importance of unconditional, #international #solidarity.
Some were cautious about engaging, ostensibly out of concern for being viewed as anti-Semitic, but many were curious, interested and open to learning. As much as the mainstream media have tried to distort and mangle news of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, a recent poll showed that among German voters, only 25 percent answered in the affirmative when asked if they believe Israel’s attacks on Gaza are justified; 61 percent believe they are not. The latter cohort was clearly represented at the demonstration.
After about an hour, I came into contact with a representative of the 25 percent of that poll. An older German man with an aggressive expression approached me, stopped in front of me and half-shouted, “So what do you think the #similarities are #between the #AfD and #Israel?” I could tell he had no intention of engaging in a reasonable conversation but nonetheless began trying to explain. After a few words, he rolled his eyes and spat at me.
It is hard to describe the particular shade of red I saw, the sourness of the blood pumping to my head, the bitterness of the fury on my tongue. It looked like the lifeless faces of my great-grandparents at the mercy of #Nazis, deported and murdered in the #Warsaw #Ghetto as they have appeared in my dreams since I was a child. It felt like the fierceness with which I will unconditionally defend the Palestinian resistance, the right of every people to resist their oppressor in any single form, until my last breath. It tasted like the rage and incredulity that have boiled in the corners of all of our mouths as we scream at the top of our lungs, watching the world passively observe the slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children for more than four and a half months – silent, complicit and accompanied by the relentless echo of more than #75 #years of #occupation, #apartheid, #theft, #ethnicCleansing, #lies, #dehumanisation and unforgivable #injustice.
I ran after the man, shouting at him that my family was murdered because of fascism during a genocide – in response to which he spat at me again.
He goaded me: “What do you know? The AfD is a fascist party. What does that have to do with Israel?” I began to state the obvious – “Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza as we speak …” – but didn’t finish my sentence before he spat in my face for a third time.
As I was shaking, incensed and disgusted, my final comment was, “You are clearly an anti-Semite.” Up to this point in the interaction, he had been condescending and full of contempt, but (as I knew it would) this final shot sent him into a blind rage. As I turned and walked away, he shrieked: “WHAT did you say to me?”
A friend of mine recently said to me, “The #Germans will #never #forgive the #Jews for the #Holocaust.” These words have rung in my ears and sat in my chest with nowhere in particular to go, a hard, ugly truth at the core of German society that precisely reflects my experience living in it. It is bewildering, it is comical, and it is accurate.
From the neo-Nazis of the AfD to “anti-Deutsche” leftists who claim to be combatting German anti-Semitism by obsessively and unconditionally supporting Zionism, many of today’s Germans are brimming with repressed rage towards Jews. Whether they are aware of it or not, this is resoundingly apparent in the deep, hysterical hypocrisy of a reaction such as that of the man at the demonstration – spitting in a Jewish person’s face for standing against fascism and genocide on the basis of her personal, generational relationship to fascism and genocide and becoming enraged at being identified as an anti-Semite accordingly.
This fury is seemingly a reaction to the “injustice” of Germans having to repent for the actions of their ancestors, something they have been widely celebrated for on the global stage. The #resentment takes the form of #narrowmindedness and #bigotry: The only acceptable concepts of #Judaism, #Jewish people and “Jewish life” are those they themselves, #non-Jewish Germans, explicitly sign off on. (Refer to the “anti-Semitism commissioners” claiming to represent the interests of Jewish people in Germany – not a single one of whom is Jewish or an expert in any relevant or related field.) For many Germans, the only palatable Judaism is Zionism, which in fact is no kind of Judaism at all. When forced to contend with perspectives in conflict with this toxic narrative or with Jewishness that doesn’t align with their understanding of it, their anger surfaces violently, explosively. “Anti-Deutsche” weaponise the fetishisation of Jews through their obsessive Zionism to an extreme degree, spearheading aggressive hate and smear campaigns against those who do not share their views (including anti-Zionist Jewish people). How dare anyone, most of all Jews, call into question the authority of Germans in defining and relating to Judaism, anti-Semitism and genocide.
The sick, decades-long collaboration between Israel and Germany and the widespread assertion that Israel’s security is “Germany’s reason of state”(“Staatsraeson”), which upholds Zionist socialisation in the interests of political, racist ends, has created an atmosphere of fear, shame, guilt and ultimately self-righteousness that permeates much of German society. It punishes questions, dissuades education and quashes the necessary understanding of Judaism as a broad, differentiated and historically diasporic culture that existed long before Zionism – and will exist long after.
This designation of all Jews and all Judaism as a single uniform entity, necessarily speaking the same language (modern Hebrew), holding the same values (Zionism) and sharing an identical culture (which in Germany, must be determined by Germans), is, in fact, the precise definition of #anti-Semitic, #Nazistic #racial #segregation and the othering, dehumanising rhetoric they employed in its service. The rigid and inherently anti-Semitic conception of Jews as an undifferentiated people “native” to one land, characterised by the nationalist settler-colonial Zionist movement, has merely served as a #continuation of #Hitler’s #work. It has erased secular Judaism in Europe. It has #eradicated the #Yiddish, #Ladino, #Judeo-Arabic, #Judeo-Persian and #other #Hebraic #languages. Eighty years after the Holocaust, it has succeeded in upholding the view of Jews as a monolith, a foreign nuisance separate from German society, the attempted annihilation of whom can now be exploited to justify the annihilation of another group.
The #tradition of #policing #Jewishness has been passed down in Germany for generations now, which, as in the case of the man at the anti-AfD demonstration, revolves not just around an established, homogenous definition of Jews but, crucially, also the exclusive right and obligation of the Germans to dictate it.
So what are we left with? I believe we can see it in our aforementioned statistic. The majority of Germans know, despite what they have been raised and conditioned to believe, that at the very least, what is going on in Gaza is wrong. Many can see that there is something significant and conspicuous missing in the mainstream narrative around anti-Semitism, Israel and Palestine. I would venture that the majority of those in the streets marching against the AfD are doing it because they genuinely want to stand on the right side of history. Meanwhile, what is in reality a minority is simply louder, angrier and more visible in propagating their anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian racism, anti-Semitism and pro-genocide views and, in being so, intimidate the rest into docile silence.
#No #one in the mainstream German #media has reported on my experience at the anti-AfD protest. Given the cultural context, this is not a surprise. But highlighting this hypocrisy and the prevailing, ever-more destructive narratives illustrated by such an incident represents a powerful opportunity for education and empowerment. Calling out the root causes and social backdrop of this moment make them available and necessary for all to grapple with. As so many are stepping into the streets, it is our responsibility to arm them with the facts as fuel, to enable every single person to raise their voice and know decisively what they speak for and what they speak against. We will continue – with more resolve than ever – in the fight for a free Palestine and in mobilising in this way against racism, Zionism, (actual) anti-Semitism, fascism and genocide. We will repeat it again and again until the rhythm of our words becomes the heartbeat of a society that attempts to snuff out our resistance but will ultimately fail at doing so: Never again means never again for anybody.

What can the #UK do to end the war and support peace in #Israel / #Palestine?
The Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing with witness statements from Israeli / #Jewish and Palestinian experts and activists. It's really informative, and based in fact, not propaganda. Some hard truths for everyone.
You can watch it here. It's two hours - with two different sessions. The first more academic and historical, the second more about the present and future. https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/85b26746-64df-4d3c-a973-d0da3738a077

As a bonus, it was nice to hear the terms #Zionism and #Zionist used (by all) in their precise and historic meanings, and not the toxic way they are too often used.

The American Host and the #Zionist #Parasite.
#richplanet
#AndrewJohnson discuss Greg Felton's book P1 of 4
A Planet Truth TV
On today's show Richard and Andrew Johnson discuss Greg Felton's book, The Host and the Parasite. An extraordinarily important book that traces America's slide into fascism and subservience to a foreign power. Felton argues persuasively that three groups have converged and come to dominate American policy for the benefit of Israel: the neoconservatives, the Republican evangelicals (Christian Zionists), and Jewish Zionists.
He backs up his analysis with over 800 footnoted references to government, scholarly and media sources. Felton refutes the traditional progressive view that Israel is merely a client state of America. If this is so, he asks, how has America come to pursue policies that are so utterly contrary to their own national interest while being so highly beneficial to its junior partner?
Felton also refutes the theory that 'it's all about oil,' arguing that the First Persian Gulf War was the last American oil war and that the Second Persian Gulf War ignored the interests of American oil companies, increased American oil costs and reduced American national security. How could this have happened? The Second War, he demonstrates, can only be adequately explained by the #take-over of #American foreign and domestic #policy for the #benefit of #Israel.
You want PROOF? Look! ⬇️ There's your #proof .
You may have seen a story about Israel airstriking that Al-Jazeera reporter's family. It turns out that these people were in a Hamas Terrorist structure. If you know anything about how the I.D.F. works, you know that before they bomb a building, they call the locals and tell them to leave abd how they will hit the structure, and which nearby buildings will be safe. They then do "roof knocking," which is a first missile that makes a loud bang on the roof of a building. Then they do the actual airstrike. His family likely died out of being stubborn, or were executed by Hamas, as Hamas often forces innocents to such locations.
The MSM knowingly lies to people because they know the average American can get mad quickly, but actually has no interest in the region and so does not check to see if the data is correct.
Have you ever noticed just how many times Anderson Duper or any of a handful of other media personalities just happen to be in just the right location so that the building directly behind them is bombed? How does this happen all the time? Easy. I.D.F. has intel that a particular spot is a Hamas location, so they call the Arabs, warning them to leave, then they send in a roof knocking missile. Very very loud. It is the final warning. Then they blow up the building.
Think about it! Arabs make missiles that randomly kill or damage. Israel has rockets with pinpoint accuracy. Do you REALLY think they would spend all that money for fancy shmancy rockets to kill random civilians?!?! That would be like me using gold bullets to kill ducks. Makes zero sense.
So what happens is, Hamas will put elderly, women, and infants in a location about to be bombed, then the Palestinians can wail in the streets and the world blame Israel.
The land, by law, belongs to Israel. My desire is for Israel to go in on foot and tank and free the hostages, publickly execute any Hamas soldiers/ leadership, and then level and burn the land, to cleanse it. The Arabs there, most of them, are not generations long settlers. Most of those left years ago. The ones there now are violent and hate freedom and came there in the 1940's to 60's on construction jobs, and then just stayed. It would be like illegals coming to NYC, and then the media saying Manhattan was traditionally Mexican. Wait...WHAT?!?!!!?
Go online and find video after video of the "peaceful" palestinians beating innocent, captured Jews. It will probably have to be found on Bitchute.com or Rumble.com, because YouTube appears to hide or delete them. You can find videos that appear to show Jews picking on Palestinians, but are those videos heavily edited?
Here is an American explaining how America got the idea of roof knocking from Israel, and how civilians can die when not targetted.
https://youtu.be/ogknnmPCqk0?feature=shared
Islam is a devlish system of death. They love death. The MsM usually edits things so you cannot see the heart of the true muslim. You have to go to Bitchute.com, Rumble.com, etc., to see accurate news.
If you follow me, or watch my YouTube or Rumble channel, you can see proof that I post, if YT doesn't censor it...again. They have deleted my comments endless times, shadowbanned me, and deleted a video where I simply asked a question about facemasks.
Many times they find HAMas is going in and out of a building, or the building conceals a bunker underneath that leads to tunnels.
https://youtu.be/sumq8ktYOTI?feature=shared
If memory serves, they give them 15 minutes after the roof knock.
https://youtu.be/hcae-XdfsLA?feature=shared
See how they already have a camera going, focused on the building BEFORE it is hit. They know when the rockets are coming, and where. Also notice the jumpcut to delete the 15 minutes.
https://youtu.be/o4QujlKoyYE?feature=shared
If you understand how Islam works, you understand why/how "civilians" are killed. They are not innocent.
Many fundamentally do not understand islam. I would not suggest reading their trash, as it is of the devil, but their evil system teaches to befriend "infidels." They can go to their homes, have meals together, etc. This is the peace time. But then they grow in number in a country and the Imams begin to teach Defensive Jihad. Basically, they are taught to be at peace with their host country, unless Islam or their false prophet is insulted. Then they can be violent. Once they grow larger, the Imams then teach Offensive Jihad. This is the crazy terrorism and Sharia Law junk.
I once believed that there were peaceful and violent Muslims. But my friend, a former militant muslim from Pakistan taught me that the peaceful part is all part of the plan. Refuse to believe me? It is in their teachings.
Want to have some fun? Go on YouTube or anywhere muslims are, and ask them if they condemn their fake prophet for having sex with a 9 year old. He "married" Aisha when she was 6 years old. He says he first only fondled her when they bathed together, but once she turned the ripe old age of 9, he fully raped her. But he sure was a nice guy. He let only her continue to play with her dolls in his tent, wheras he did not with the others. So go ask muslims if they condemn the Profligate Muhammed's raping of Aisha. He also raped his sex slaves. Muslims refuse to condemn it, and in fact condone it, specifically saying it was acceptable.
Many sources call Aisha 9 years old when "married" to the false prophet. At least one says she was 7 years old. Sahil al-Bakari 51:58, 61:30, 51:33, 65:4, Sahil Muslim 33:11.

What’s the Israel-Palestine conflict about? A simple guide
It’s killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions. And its future lies in its past. We break it down.
..."what unfolds in the coming days and weeks has its seed in #history.
For decades, Western media outlets, academics, military experts and world leaders have described the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as intractable, complicated and deadlocked.
Here’s a simple guide to break down one of the world’s longest-running conflicts:
...
In essence, a European power promised the #Zionist movement a country where #Palestinian Arab natives made up more than 90 percent of the population.
A British Mandate was created in 1923 and lasted until 1948. During that period, the British facilitated mass Jewish immigration – many of the new residents were fleeing Nazism in Europe – and they also faced protests and strikes. Palestinians were alarmed by their country’s changing demographics and British confiscation of their lands to be handed over to Jewish settlers." ...

40 years ago, an Israeli-allied armed group attacked the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
In June 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon with the stated aim of destroying the PLO.
#OTD #Palestine #Lebanon #Politics #History #CrimeAgainstHumanity
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is an umbrella of Palestinian political parties, created in 1964 with the aim of liberating Palestine through armed struggle.
The #PLO withdrew from Lebanon by September 1, 1982, two weeks later, Israeli forces besieged Sabra and Shatila.
They provided cover for a right-wing #Lebanese militia called the #Phalange to carry out the mass killings that continued for 43 hours.
As many as 3,500 people - mostly Palestinians - were killed. Here’s a look at what happened
#Refugees of the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps were victims of the 1948 #Nakba, fleeing the violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine by #Zionist militias as #Israel was formed.
The UN General Assembly passed a resolution declaring the massacre an “act of #genocide”.
Though no one has been held accountable for the crimes of the #Sabra and #Shatila #massacre.

INSIDE SHIN BET, Israel's secret police
Known by its Hebrew acronym “Shabak”, Shin Bet is one of the most powerful security organisations in the world. Shin Bet had historical links to the #Zionist #paramilitary groups that operated prior to #Israel’s creation.
Shin Bet is infamous for the #torture and #killing of #Palestinian #detainees. The UN Committee Against Torture has condemned Shin Bet for its use of #violent interrogation tactics, which continue today.
One of the central tenets of the #Zionist and #Israeli #colonization is the denial of an authentic, independent #Palestinian #identity.
During the #British control of #Palestine, the population was officially divided between Jews and “non-Jews.”
“There were no such thing as #Palestinians … they did not exist,” onetime Israeli Prime Minister #GoldaMeir quipped.
This erasure, which requires an egregious act of #historical amnesia, is what the Israeli sociologist Baruch Kimmerling called the “politicide” of the Palestinian people.
Khalidi writes, “The surest way to eradicate a people’s right to their land is to deny their historical connection to it.”
