This 40 second clip encapsulates perfectly the genocidal logic at the heart of political Zionism. The settler militias are no aberration, they are Israel’s state ideology stripped of the pretense of wanting to be liked and accepted by the West.

Temperamentally pro-Israel liberals have to grapple with the fact that they, not pro-Palestine people, have held the reins of government in the US, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, etcetera for decades and decades and they did absolutely nothing to bring about "two-states".
Isn't this also a very common slaver and colonial narrative that violence is the only language the native/slave understands?
This is unironically - and astonishingly almost verbatim - Gul Dukat's genocidal rant against the Bajorans in the Deep Space Nine episode "Waltz."
The insinuation that by being anti-genocide @zackpolanski.bsky.social is "not a disciple of Jewish ideas" is deeply antisemitic.

Van Jones Ripped for 'Absolutely Sickening' Remarks About Gaza Baby Starved by Israel | Common Dreams
"The baby had a genetic issue AND was being starved by Israel AND the starvation exacerbated the condition," said journalist Ryan Grim.

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza. But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news. It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

Israeli soldiers were filmed throwing belongings from Palestinian homes in Qusra, where settlers have besieged several houses for more than a week. Israeli settlers have operated alongside Israeli forces during raids on Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.
Britain spent decades building one of the safest egg systems in the world. Now thanks to Brexit freedoms vulnerable people are effectively being told: British Lion eggs at home are safe but be careful ordering a runny egg in a British restaurant because you may not know where that egg came from.
🚨 THIS IS NOW A NATIONAL FOOD SAFETY WARNING we warned was inevitable if we left the EU!!! The FSA is telling pregnant women, children under five, over-65s and vulnerable people not to eat runny eggs when eating out. Why? 👇 🧵
Today, 87 years ago, the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact was signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, wherein both dictatorships divided Eastern Europe. A pact that still has ramifications all over Europe to this day.

My crack at Natalie Harp mania. She's obviously a stone cold weirdo, but what's more telling is how the White House is hyper-defensive about she clings to Trump like a barnacle. Having a full-time babysitter draws attention to Trump's age. www.salon.com/2026/08/19/t...

Politicians in Germany and elsewhere were outraged by Ben Gvir demanding the killing of 30-40 people per day in Gaza. But Israel actually really killing Palestinians in Gaza on a daily basis (even if not on that scale) doesn't cause any outrage whatsoever www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260818-isr...
