Over 200 days of complicity, the EU waved Israel's flag & increased weapons exports tenfold. So spare us crocodile tears now. It could not have happened without EU complicity. It is continuing now because of it. European values? Same as they always were: Murder & colonialism.

And it's not even really comparable because the GDP of the US is mostly fake and driven by dollar demand while the GDP of China is driven by manufacturing and innovation.

3 days ago Netanyahu said that Israel's 'sacred mission' was 'to return [hostages] home' but that 'unfortunately, until now, all proposals for releasing the hostages have been rejected outright by Hamas' (gov.il/en/pages/event…).

Well, this is Chaim Rubinstein, who until

They deny a thing that *demonstrably did not happen* is the perfect end point for this.

Belated🧵on Catherine Colonna's report on UNRWA.

I especially like this extract:

'The US-led rules-based international system is a more recent evolution of American political thinking: a self-referential mindset twisted to the interests of

This really puts all the progressive social movements of the past 60 years in America into perspective...

This article is extremely worthwhile reading.

Good news to start the day:
Senior Israeli officials admit their campaign to smear & disband UNRWA has failed miserably.

Elon constantly kneeling before anything pro-Israel, including a foreign country smearing our youth and encouraging censorship, is absolutely pathetic.

'The moral contradictions necessary to support this are just too overwhelming, it's like acid on the soul of these countries'

'The more Jewish people like Klein say 'not in our name', the more Zionism is seen as it should rightly be seen: a 'false idol' that 'Jews need an exodus from', in order to ultimately resolve the biggest injustice of our age, that inflicted on the Palestinians.'

We have 40,000 troops deployed to help him, we just approved another $15 billion in military aid for him, and the first thing he does is compare us to the Nazis and demand international intervention? To do what, arrest more Jewish protesters? jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2024/04/22/sta…
