AUTHENTIC JEWRY OPPOSE ZIONISM & THE STATE OF ISRAEL

SIGN held by members of the ancient community of anti-Zionist Jews of Jerusalem as they were brutalized by riot-geared sociopath Zionist Israeli thugs — their supposed countrymen— for daring to support their Palestinian brothers/sisters and declaring “this place is called Palestine” and “we lived in peace here long before there was an Israel”.

ZIONISM — THE MAIN CAUSE OF ANTI-SEMITISM --- another sign

LOVE to the Anti-Zionist Jews of Jerusalem.

And once again, from this alum, Fuck the Zionist-bitch administration of Columbia U.

There are still too many people, some of them Jews, who still cannot separate Zionism from Judaism. I think I am not friends anymore with a Jewish friend who told me that the doc, Israelism, promotes antisemitism. She didn't flinch when I said it promotes anti Zionism, not antisemitism. And she didn't even go to Hebrew schools etc. when she was growing up. The Zionist brainwashing is insidious and seeps into many places.

There are readily available videos of the Jews of Jerusalem declaring their opposition to Zionism and support of their Palestinian brothers, even as they are being beaten senseless by despicable SMILING fucktard Israeli sociopath cops in riot gear. You should chain this idiot to a chair and force her to watch them looped endlessly until her stupid brain dissolves into the mush it's obviously poised on the precipice of.

She is just too busy for that sort of thing. She is busy looking after local issues, she says. No time for children being murdered or land being stolen yet again by more colonizers. Apparently the poor thing is finding my friendship "exhausting". Poor little her.

Oh yes. And worse. How I wish. But I suppose we are on the terrorism list now, gyp dear. I am proud to be there with you -- and the pro-Palestinian students of NYU and Columbia. I suppose I never "graduated" from Spring 1968. American warmongering and imperialism have never let me down for a moment.

SOME of them Susan?

Polls indicate that nearly 3/4 of Amerikkkan Jews support IsraHell’s “actions”.

And in spite of the Medea Benjamins and Max Blumenthals , I don’t find that exactly endearing.

The Algemeiner: The poll — conducted from Jan. 15-16 among registered US voters — found that 79 percent of Americans support Israel and 21 percent support Hamas, indicating that the Jewish state has remained largely popular with the US public over the course of the 15-month-long war in Gaza.

But this from the BBC: A Gallup survey taken in March this year found only 46% of Americans expressed support for Israel (the lowest level in 25 years of Gallup's annual tracking) while 33% now said they sympathised with the Palestinians - the highest ever reading of that measure. Other polls have found similar results.

So, who really knows. Depends who is talking.

Such good news, in the midst of the ongoing inhumane slaughter, and onslaught against basic rights. And here is another of those onslaughts.

NYU Law School is telling students to agree to give up their constitutional right to free speech or not be allowed to take their final exams. If you don't think this sort of thing ought to happen, here's a campaign to let NYU know this is not acceptable.

Regarding the India-Pakistan ceasefire, isn't it amazing how quickly two genuinely sovereign powers, even ones with nuclear weapons, can reach an agreement? Just another case for why Ukraine and Israel aren't sovereign at all

As long as the Judiciary stay strong there is a bit of hope.

Meanwhile so many people are not going to the USA........long lines when going through immigration/searches on phones and computers + the possibility of being picked up by ICE.

My niece was going for her Company in Spain but the whole Company decided it was too much of a risk.

My husband was also going to a meeting in Florida. He has cancelled.

This is going to affect the tourism industry.

A friend asked to do some work for her co. in Italy. With my mouth and writings, I am not sure they would let me back into the u.s. I was working on a telescope in Chile a few years ago. On my return ICE bought me to a little white box that sits off to the side. They looked at my passport and held showing me they didn't have to give it back. I was traveling so much I thing they thought I was carry currency. The ripped open my backpack to discover the foam for protecting my laptop. You can leave however..................

Thanks for these glimpses of hope. What you see as a possible shift, others see as a full-blown hidden tidal wave inexorably sweeping Israel, Zionism, and their supporters under the heavy wheels of a newfound resistance, and it can never be too soon, or more desperately needed for the survival of humanity and the planet on which we live. The U.S. itself has an equally severe reckoning; if from its own people will be better for all than if the government keeps its clueless and destructive partnership in crime, in which case the reckoning will be terrifying.

Of course Organisations like the Times and Individuals are now concerned about what they have been supporting for over three years, There will be many many more Corporations organisations and individuals who will act with horror about what they have been supporting, The age old we didn’t know how could we have known this was happening the Telegraph Mail Express s*n BBC ITV SKY GBN etc etc never told us this news, And the Government said nothing it was all about Hamas hiding in Hospitals and Schools and this was how all the children women and men were being burned alive and torn limb from limb Aye right you lying hypocrites you filthy scumsucking bastards, I for one will Brooke no excuses from the we didn’t know apologist brigade they knew alright it’s just that the opinion of the Genocide happening in Palestine is beginning to swing against Netanyahu his Murderous Regime and Nazi Stormtroopers the Baby Murdering IDF, The Government’s of the NATO Alliance and the soon to be departing from said alliance Trumps America Sicken Me with their Insane Propaganda Hypocrisy and LIES, Russia attacked a Country who wanted NATO weaponry and Troops on Russia’ Border and they’re Baddies, Israel Exterminate and Flatten a whole Country Slaughtering and Burning Alive Babies Children Women and Men Doctors Nurses Porters Aid Workers Ambulance Service Workers and Journalists but of course Starmer Trump Macron et al Insist The Jewish Invaders and Carpetbagger’ are Goodies.

From the May 9th article in the UNZ Report by Philip Giraldi. May I quote..........

"I have in the past speculated that the day might come when President Donald Trump, he of a massive ego, might just become tired of his being manipulated and controlled by America’s Israel Lobby and by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in particular. I thought, and hoped, that he might become so annoyed that he might move to take control of the so-called tail wags the dog relationship that has for so long put Israel in the driver’s seat."

One is tempted to respond to this wishful thinking by a highly experienced commentator......and one should.

Adding everything up, including the 'never-likely-to-be-fully-known' "Epstein factor", that interesting association of some years ago and add in the actions since January 2025 by this megalomaniac called Trump, then try and find any other reason for the President of 360 million people to initiate all the crimes that we have seen driven by Biden, a criminal by any measure and the current resident called Trump, there is an obvious reason for it all.

The fact that you can assassinate a President in the good old USA has already been demonstrated. In 1963, the last of the decent incumbents. His crime.....standing up to Israel and their pans for a nuclear arsenal, an arsenal now very well established.

Think on it. Next step... well under way. Freedom of speech. The US Constitution gets the big finger, soon to be rewritten and translated into Hebrew.

"Free speech is being stomped out throughout the western world to protect Israel and its western backers from criticism. There is no greater threat to the right to free expression in our society today. It must be opposed, and opposed ferociously."

It started with Ukraine, which remains the West's current number one priority.

Yup. That was one purpose for Russia Russia…. The dem base fell fully on board with censoring anyone who was critical of Ukraine and the cause of the war.

Commenters above, with the greatest respect.

It is the threat of this happening (or the exposure of past deeds) that is driving his actions. They have the photos; they have the information; they have the flight details; they have the dates....... and they have Ghislaine tucked away in prison for 20 years. They decided that having Epstein in custody was a risk. So..........he died.

Enough leverage?

A worthy solution of Trump's own making......

"Trump proposes to reopen ALCATRAZ as America’s Guantanamo"

Let us make Trump, Biden and their teams the first inmates and at the same time, let's commence an Un-American activities investigation and then you can add as inmates 86% of all US politicians, almost all the current political Cabinet, ADL members, AIPAC supporters, fellow travellers, Zionists, half of the 'Consultants' in Washington, corrupted judges, military industrialists and ex-IDF US resident snipers and everyone with dual citizenship with Israel.

Owners and editor's of the corrupted media will serve a term of a minimum of 10 years with no TV, radio or external connections.

Initial inmate in the female wing will be Miriam Adelson for 15 years, check books and credit cards removed, permanently.

That should start the clean up in the mess that is........ America, 2025.

Several Chinese and Russian cargo ships packed with food, fuel, healthcare could move the world as they docked at Gaza. Why and what are they waiting for? Talk about a giant FU to we in the u.s. and israel. I can see it now, the UN voting against China and Russia for bringing aid to Palestine.

"Their government stepped in and hid speech that is critical of US foreign policy from their ears, determining that it would be best if Americans did not consume such wrongthink. If this isn’t tyranny, then nothing is."

This should become the new definition of tyranny in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: "The US government determining what its citizens can and cannot hear about the Israelis' genocide in Gaza."

I'm very hopeful to hear that a conservative MP has had a change of heart, but I'm really bowled over by seeing that the Financial Times have changed their tune! If capitalists can admit that genocide isn't "good for business" then we might be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel at last. #FreePalestine
