The behaviour of the Israeli government = that of the German government during the years Hitler was in power.
The behaviour of the Israeli Jews = that of the German people during the years Hitler was in power.
And deep inside these Israeli Jews know.

Als je het nog niet gezien hebt: kijk Het Geweten van Israël terug, de indringende docu van @nadiamoussaid.bsky.social over Palestijns en Israëlisch verzet tegen de genocide in Gaza, in een samenleving die steeds dieper wegzakt in morele apathie en radicalisme.

Het geweten van Israël | NPO Start

Nadia Moussaid volgt Israëlische en Palestijns/Israëlische burgers die zich uitspreken tegen het genocidale geweld in Gaza, ondanks de grote sociale druk en dreigende gevangenisstraf. De beelden uit u...

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

The fall out of Carney's latest visit with Trump:
After bragging about Canada joining the US, Trump made it clear he is determined to destroy our autoworkers and steelworkers.
But Danielle Smith and the planet burners are over the moon.
They say this is "love language."

“Tony Blair should be heading to The Hague, not to Gaza.”

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains why Tony Blair should be on trial for war crimes in Iraq, instead of planning to destroy Gaza further with Trump on ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored.’

Hamas is first and foremost een verzets beweging tegen het koloniale Israelische bewind. Hamas was nooit ontstaan als zionisten de keuze hadden gemaakt om in vrede met Palestijnen samen te leven. I.p. daarvan kozen ze voor oorlog want ze wisten dat de Palestijnen - logisch - zich zouden verzetten.

I have no idea why most Canadian media and politicians have such a difficulty with this...unless they are just as much in denial about this as they are about climate change, cost of living for Canadians, lack of affordable housing, etc. etc.

Most business models are. Theft from people, theft from nature, theft from the future, theft from the planet etc.
Free enterprise = free theft. That's their model.

So the business model is dependent on theft.

Gaza genocide two years on: The West must be deradicalised so this never happens again

This brutal war on Palestinians has not just unleashed Israel's demons. It has unmasked our own regimes, as they crack down on humanitarian activism

Eby repealed a carbon tax that had been working in BC for almost 2 decades in order to make gas a bit cheaper, and handed out $410 million to drivers for basically no reason. And now there's no money for active transport grants. 300 people a year are killed in BC in motor vehicle crashes.
