1/4 People are celebrating #Booker &the great #filibuster caper. That's fine. They're desperate for a hero w Schumer asleep at the wheel or rather driving drunk under the influence of #Zionist #fascism.
Did the record deserve to be broken and held by anyone other than a segregationist? Sure.
Please understand that ICE disappearing legal residents is directly related to #Zionism, to which Booker & many in Congress pledge allegiance with every vote & dollar every day.

Nobody should try to divide the electorate into "us" and "them" based on silly purity tests.
@emma get off your #Zionism and #genocide horse, because that's one of the ways elected traitors like Rashida #Tlaib was able to deprive #KamalaHarris of victory and hand the presidency to #Trump.

Over 80% of Israeli Jews support Trump's plan to relocate Gazans, according to a survey by the Israeli-based Jewish People Policy Institute. 43% of Israeli Jews even believe the plan is practical. Only 3% of Israeli Jews believed the plan to be immoral. This is a dramatic shift from the 1990s to early 2000s, when 40-50% of Israeli Jews supported similar proposals to cleans Palestinians from the West Bank.
@JackTheCat Keir Starmer's wife, Victoria, is Jewish, they have relatives in Israel, and the couple's kids are being raised in the Jewish tradition/religion. It's pretty clear from Keir's policies vis a vis the Gaza genocide, the whole family is Zionist.

All over the West, free speech is falling victim to pro-Israel supporters in government and institutions, and anything related to the Gaza genocide is being severely punished and suppressed with the blanket accusation of 'antisemitism'.

Interview "The Making of the Modern Middle East: History, Politics, & Today’s Turmoil"
Imperial Britain instigated this century-old conflict.
The Europeans merely replaced the Ottomans as colonisers, reneging on their promises of a liberal-democratic, independent Arab state.
In the betrayed Arab states, Muslim fundamentalism etc. were a direct outcome of the colonial "mandate scam".

Quoting Hanin Majadli: Eva Illouz was a mouthpiece for right-wing propaganda, and in response received a slap
Majadli discusses how Israel's Education Minister Yoav Kish disqualified Professor Eva Illouz from receiving the Israel Prize due to what he called her "anti-Israeli ideology." The reason cited was her 2021 participation in a petition to the International Criminal Court in The Hague requesting an investigation into whether Israel committed war crimes in the West Bank.
In response to this disqualification, Illouz stated to Haaretz: "During the last 18 months, I dedicated my energy to writing for the international press with the aspiration to defend Israel. In the most prestigious newspapers in Spain, France, and Germany, I never stopped clarifying that Hamas is a terrorist organization, that Israel had the right to respond to a ground invasion of its territory, that anti-Zionism is an expression of antisemitism, and that the accusations of genocide against it are nothing but a continuation of antisemitic discourse."
Majadli criticizes Illouz for having been a "loyal mouthpiece for the most right-wing Israeli propaganda" for a year and a half, only to be rejected by the state she defended. Majadli argues that there is little difference between Illouz's response to the war and that of any standard Zionist leftist in Israel.
She says that Illouz and other Zionist intellectuals who identify as leftists were focusing on "deciphering esoteric shades of antisemitism in the global left" while diverting attention from the violence being carried out in Gaza. She suggests that Illouz could have gained more respect by refusing any prize from a state that killed tens of thousands civilians in Gaza.
Majadli wonders when will the academic community understand that the "Israel Prize" is not a badge of honor but a mark of disgrace, and characterizes Illouz as symbolizing "the ongoing failure of the Zionist left to understand the State of Israel as it truly is, and not as they would like it to be."

#Israel has been on such a psychotic killing spree over the last 3 days that it’s hard to know where to begin. Do we start with the #bombing of 2 hospitals? The targeted #assassination of 2 journalists? The #US #bombing a hospital in #Yemen on Israel’s behalf?

Golda Meir once said the old would die, and the young forget: ‘But they didn’t forget. The old died, but not before passing down the names of villages, the stories of trees, the keys to locked doors, the maps etched in memory. The young inherited all of it … & for that, they must be eliminated.’

In the 20th C Westerners switched from viewing the Arab world (Orient) from a scholarly Arab perspective, to a Zionist (European colonial) one. Westerners today only see Arabs through a skewed Western lens, and a deeply hostile and distorted one at that.
