At 22, about to deploy to our “global war on terror,” I was your guest to the SOTU. I believed I was being sent to save lives, end terrorism. I trusted and admired you. I came home knowing I only added to the violence and people like you sent me to kill and die and for lies /1

5/6 I’m also thankful @POTUS did not heed calls for an immediate ceasefire weeks ago, as Israel could not have achieved this breakthrough had one occurred. A unilateral ceasefire only serves Hamas terrorists, who broke a ceasefire on Oct. 7th - and vow to do so again and again.

HOW HAS THIS NOT GONE VIRAL? LISTEN to this. LISTEN. Just LISTEN. Congressman Brian Mast: “I would encourage the other side to NOT SO lightly throw around the idea of innocent Palestinian civilians….. I ask that when we look at this, about what type of exemptions should and should not exist, I would ask that it would be looked at through that lens: that..um..you know…there’s not this far stretch to say, there are very few innocent Palestinian civilians.”

again one is told to believe two things at once 1) Israel has such sophisticated intel on Hamas locations it justifies killing hundreds of civilians to kill just one 2) 2000 Hamas fighters amassed at Israel’s border w/ submachine guns and pickup trucks and Israel didn’t notice

The post seen in this photo contains blatant lies about the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7. It has absolutely no basis in Haaretz’s reporting, then or since haaretz.com

I used to be pro-Palestinian. I thought Israel was wrong for carpet bombing Gaza and using siege warfare on civilians. But then I ran into a very wise Israel apologist who changed my way of looking at things forever. I was walking down the street and I saw him leaning against a lamp post, smoking a pipe as wise men do. “Your shirt says Free Palestine,” he said from behind a plume of smoke. “Yep!” I replied. “So I guess that means you love Hamas then?” spake he. I stopped in my tracks. I’d never thought of it that way before. Could it be? Could my opposition to murdering civilians really be indicative of a deep affection for a Gazan militant group? Maybe I really did love Hamas and think everything it did on October 7 was great and wonderful? “Is this really how I want to live my life?” I thought to myself. “I — I — I…” I said out loud. “Or perhaps,” he said with a raised eyebrow, “you just HATE JEWS??” I fell to my knees. Oh my God. He really had a point. What possible reason could anyone have for opposing military explosives being dropped on buildings full of children besides a seething lifelong hatred of adherents to the religion of Judaism? How could anyone possibly oppose siege warfare tactics which cut off civilians from food and water and electricity and fuel and medical supplies unless they harbored a dangerous hostility toward members of a small Abrahamic faith? “Who… who are you?” I asked. “That’s of no consequence,” he said, casually blowing a smoke ring through another larger smoke ring. “But… but the children,” I stammered as my entire worldview crumbled before my eyes. “The civilians! They’re dying! Isn’t it bad that they’re dying?” And then he went for the coup de grâce. “Have you considered,” he said before a pregnant pause, “… that all of those deaths are the fault of Hamas?” I fell flat on my back. The world was spinning. A trickle of blood ran down into my hair from my ear. I felt all the anti-colonialism leaving my body. I suddenly could no longer remember why I thought it was bad to rain down military explosives on a densely populated concentration camp. Everything went black. When I finally came to, the mysterious stranger was gone. But his wisdom and profound insights into Israel and Gaza will always live on in my heart.

Har lest «Ordinary men» av Christopher Browning flere ganger. Om Polizeibataljon 101, bestående av reservister, vanlige folk, som sto for skyting av 38.000 jøder (samt sende 45.000 til utryddelsesleire). Nå har jeg sett dokumentaren som bygger på boken (på Netflix). Like rystende

Krig, fakta og sosiale medier er ein nesten umogleg kombinasjon. Men viss du ikkje vil gjere deg skuldig i å vidareformidle propaganda, kan det vere lurt å vente på verifisert informasjon. Ikkje trykk på publiseringsknappen kvar gong du kjenner det rykke. Pust med magen.

By far the most powerful Israeli response I have seen. This 19 year old girl survived the horrific massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri. This is her message to her fellow Israelis and to the world. Watch the whole thing.

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population. There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel. I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians. And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

If you'd like to see how absolutely nothing has changed in the conversation around Israel & Palestine despite decades of violence, here's Jon Stewart doing a bit that could literally air today without a single change.

I am an Israeli Jew. This is probably the worst week of my life. And yet today of all days it bears repeating: the only way to end this cycle is by working for freedom and dignity for all. For all. On all sides, our blood is the same color and our tears taste the same.

At Erna Solberg ikke visste at Sindre Finnes handlet med aksjer begynner å bli like troverdig som at jeg ikke skulle visst at @eivindtraedal er på Twitter.

Ringsaker Blad tok likevel inn innlegget mitt i dag. Det handler ikke bare om Ringsaker, men om massiv desinformasjon på rusfeltet, særlig i lokalavisene, drevet fram av ministre, politikere og politi, og om medienes passivitet. Del gjerne om du er enig. ringsaker-blad.no/debatt/usant-o…

Og der gjorde Erna Solberg det vi feilaktig trodde Kirsti Bergstø og Marie Sneve Martinussen hadde gjort. dagsavisen.no/nyheter/2023/0…

Å skylde på de 18% lærerne som har stemt på SV er å gi de litt vel mye makt. Det er regjeringer - styrt av Høyre og AP - som har fattet vedtakene. SANNA SARROMAA: vg.no/nyheter/mening…

Watch: The Israeli occupation pours cement into the water springs in the Al-Hijrah area, south of Hebron, to block them and prevent Palestinians from using them in agriculture.
