Here you can see another dangerous member of the terrorist #OctogenarianArmy getting arrested while protesting for a #FreePalestine. She was so dangerous that three officers had to be deployed to contain her! Hope they all made back home safe and well after such a dangerous mission!

Among other things, the BlueSky Zionist accused someone of victim-blaming. That sparked a memory.

Zionists believed Jews had to be transplanted in order to be redeemed. Uri Avnery wrote, “Zionist literature, taught to every Jewish child in Palestine, depicted Jewish life in Eastern Europe as despicable, the whole tradition and folklore of the ghetto as cowardly, crooked, parasitical.”5 He noted that Jews were “depicted in Zionist schoolbooks in a way rather reminiscent of anti-Semitic literature,”6 and because of this, Israelis consider themselves “vastly superior” to diaspora Jews, “treating them at best with a paternalistic, rather colonial attitude.”7 Yehezkel Kaufman, professor of Bible studies at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, wrote that Jewish nationalism was built “on a foundation of anti-Semitism.” It blamed Jews themselves for their misfortunes and said they deserved to be hated. To shed their iniquities they had to leave the diaspora and become a nation and a people like all others. “The poison which flows from Jewish nationalist sources,” wrote Kaufman, “is perhaps the most dangerous of them all.”8 [paragraph deleted to make room] He noted that every nation has its diaspora—those who emigrated—yet “none are considered slaves and dogs except the Jews—and by themselves.”10 He wrote, “Many Zionists . . . are completely convinced that in order to become ‘good Zionists’ we must first become ‘good anti-Semites,’ that we must first hate ourselves.” 11

I've been lurking on a BlueSky thread where a Zionist is saying that he can't be antisemitic because he claims to be Jewish. The Jerusalem Declaration: "Antisemitism is discrimination, prejudice, hostility or violence against Jews as Jews (or Jewish institutions as Jewish)" https://jerusalemdeclaration.org/ doesn't rule out antisemitism, by virtue of the perpetrator claiming to be Jewish.

Australian Zionist Mark Leibler provided a case study. The image is of a certified copy archived by the NSW state Parliament. https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/lcdocs/other/21800/X%20post%20%E2%80%93%20Mark%20Leibler,%208%20February%202025.pdf

Would a court rule that the words "repulsive and revolting" and "vicious antisemites" aimed at Jews is antisemitic? Those words are certainly hostile and prejudiced. The apparent deletion of the post implies the answer. Leibler is a lawyer.

[upside-down certification stamp, dated 19/05/2025] Mark Leibler @LeiblerMark  Nothing, but nothing, is worse than those Jews who level totally  unfounded allegations of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the  State of Israel. They are repulsive and revolting human beings. Their  relatives who were murdered by the Nazis - the role models for Hamas -  will undoubtedly be turning in their graves. Their avowed anti Zionism is  clearly no more than a cover for the reality that they are vicious  antisemites.  11:11PM - Feb 8, 2025 - 339.1K Views

The only legal action the Western world has taken for Israel’s genocide is arresting the people who are protesting against it.

Meta and Google, in league with
period tracking app Flo, shared and violated Flo users’ data.

It goes without saying, that not only is this illegal, but it breaches privacy, and puts people at profound risk.

Google, Flo, and data analytics firm, Flurry, settled prior. Meta proceeded to trial, and a jury just concluded that they tapped in on and violated Flo users’ privacy globally.

Not all apps are always trying to steal your data, but most of them do.
And Big Tech always does.

So the arms traffickers and genocide enablers are trying to clean up their act two years after fully supporting the mass murder of innocent men, women, and children in #Gaza. Two years later is too late and #Germany must be made to pay at the very least, reparations directly to the Palestinian people. If they really cared, they would send people to the war zone. Help is needed on the ground and nit picking the best children for their PR cleanup will not wash. #GermanGenocide

UK would rather arrest almost 500 people rather than admit or cease its complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

So I guess the next step is a 5,000-person protest.

They arrest 5,000? Time for 50,000.

Overwhelm the system until the system stops committing genocide.
