It’s not surprising that the European colonizers and the Middle Eastern colonizers are upset that the Jews, the indigenous people they abused for centuries, rose up and rebelled. The oppressor hates uppity minorities.

There is more hate speech targeting Jews than any other minority. It’s been going on for millennia. Books, pamphlets, sermons, websites. Theories abound about who we ‘really’ are. We even appear in the holy books of other religions. But you can’t say anything about the Jews...
Some Big Joe Turner to start the week. A blues singer who influenced Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues. Before Bill Haley and the Comets, there was Big Joe with the first recording of “Shake, Rattle and Roll”, complete with risqué lyrics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJoT...

Jews are a people, and we are indigenous to Israel. Islam is named for a religious principle. Christianity is named for the Christian Messiah. Judaism is named for the people who practice it. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish People.

If things don’t work out in Maine, with the tattoo and his attitude toward women Platner could be in the running for the next Ayatollah.
There are 55 sovereign states where English is an official language. There are 25 sovereign states where Arabic is an official language. There is one sovereign state where Hebrew is an official language. Who are the imperialists?
For 1400 years, Muslims conquered peoples and oppressed minorities. For 1400 years, Jews were a minority, and we were oppressed by Muslims. In 1948 we rebelled. Zionism is liberation. Zionism is resistance to imperialist oppression.
Zionism is intrinsic to Judaism. The most important Jewish holidays, like Shavuot, are land based. Our festivals are pilgrimage festivals. Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The pilgrimage festival is called a Chag. The Arabic word Haj is a cognate of Chag. It means pilgrimage to Mecca.
Jews are indigenous to Judea, and Roman or Arab (or Greek or Babylonian) colonization and slaughter doesn’t change that. If people didn’t want Jews to rebel, they should not have abused us mercilessly for centuries.
‘From the River to the Sea’ is the Middle Eastern equivalent of ‘The South Will Rise Again’. Both declarations express longing for a racist state where minorities can be abused with impunity.
There are 22 Arab countries. There are 25 sovereign states where Arabic is an official language. There are 57 counties where Islam is the state religion. There is one Jewish country where Hebrew is the official language and Judaism is the state religion. Who are the expansionists?
Bottom line: We were oppressed for 2000 years. We rebelled in 1948 and decolonized our indigenous land. We offered to share the land with the colonizer. They responded with endless war. Leave us alone and there will be peace. Enough.
We are not Khazars, we are not illuminati, we are not lizards from outer space. We are the Jewish People, and we have been for over 3000 years. We have not been replaced. Am Yisrael Chai.

After 2000 years of subjugation and repression, the Jewish people have broken the yoke of the Eastern and Western imperialists. We refuse to be beaten, raped, massacred or ghettoized anymore. We fight back now. Never Again.
This is the diff in how Al Jazeera operates in three different countries and what I mean when we say you cannot trust them for news
I have a Chinese neighbor. I ask him to renounce China, but he just looks at me. So I'm gonna get as many people as I can to picket his house, and then I'm going to paint 'Free Tibet' on the window of a Chinese restaurant. Our chant will be Sinonazis out! Justified?
Al Aqsa is built on top of sacred Jewish land. Mt. Rushmore is built on top of sacred Native American land. Spanish churches are built on top of the ruins of Aztec temples. That’s what colonialism looks like.
They speak Arabic in Judea and Tunisia for the same reason they speak English in Australia and the US- imperial conquest.
The Islamic Republic regime is set to execute a protester by public hanging. You can help save his life. How? Share, post, make him famous. This has been successful in the past. Share his name: #EfranSultani
We’ve been a people for over 3000 years. We have always acted as a people, and everyone else on the planet treated us as a people. Suddenly, because it’s politically expedient, racists say we are not a people. That is supremacy, and it’s ahistorical. Am Yisrael Chai
White Supremacy: Die inferior Jewish dog! Muslim Supremacy: Die inferior Jewish dog! Jewish Supremacy: Screw you.
Jews have been an oppressed minority for most of the last 2000 years. Muslims have been a majority that oppresses minorities for the past 1400 years. Just stop the nonsense.
2 billion Christians. 120 countries with a Christian majority. 2 Billion Muslims. 50 countries with a Muslim majority. 15 million Jews 1 country with a Jewish majority. But you think “The Jews” rule the world.
