Mehdi is playing the “jihad really means inner struggle” game. This is all he does, intellectual parlor tricks to make the horror he knows he’s promoting more palatable.
In the context in which “intifada” was being chanted, alongside explicit praise and support for terror
Piers Morgan: "Unless you can correct me...
Me: "I can..."
Piers: "...when was the last peaceful intifada?"
Me: "In 2011, the Tunisians... the Egyptians..."

Ah this new lie. No, Palestinians didn’t take Jewish refugees into their homes — the British Mandatory Authorities who were given trusteeship by the League of Nations over Palestine to create a Jewish National Home were required, as a matter of international law, to (Art 6.)
Palestinians who took Jewish refugees into their homes were then kicked out of their homes by those same people. That you ask this question of an occupied people - to empathize with their genocidal oppressors - is both evil and outrageous.

To be absolutely clear as to how this relates to the Israeli strike that hit the World Central Kitchen convoy:
1) If the Israelis targeted the aid vehicles knowing they were purely civilians/civilian objects, then it's a blatant violation of distinction and therefore war crime.
This is simply inaccurate.

Just so this fraud can no longer claim that I didn't respond to him substantively. Here's a very long response.
First, there's a definitional problem with this claim. It relies on a vague definition of "democracy." Do we simply mean "popular movements"/movements supported by a
Our relationship with Israel distorts U.S. policy in the Middle East. We support Arab dictatorships in part because they are more likely to accept Israel's dominant position in the region. Democracy, on the other hand, would elevate anti-Israel parties to power.

Worth recalling that during the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel war, Al-Jazeera's "reporting" in many cases gave away IDF positions and movements to Hezbollah.
Al-Jazeera is as much a propaganda outlet as Al-Manar or Al-Mayadeen, yet it is perceived as being different - as are its
Anyone else find it strange that on one hand Qatar acts as a mediator to secure the release of hostages and on the other hand funds Al-Jazeera which acts as the media arm of Hamas to the Arab world? Qatar's role must be scrutinized.

Either illiterate and an ignoramus, or a liar. Let's go through this slowly. What follows is a long thread demonstrating the falsehood of this claim with a small sampling from sourced writings of Zionist leaders:

Israel was founded as a Jewish supremacist state. Some observers mistakenly assume that, as a result, Israel sees Palestinian or Arab lives as of less value. No, as the calculated strike on the World Kitchen aid convoy shows, Israel views all non-Jewish life as of less value.

This...just isn't factual. Any cursory reading of the map in the Middle East when "US and Iran [were] having constructive talks" demonstrates continued Iranian expansionism, regional destabilization through proxies. The fact Iranian restraint in Syria is mentioned during this
The conversation in DC about "deterrence" and Iran is backwards. Iran has been willing to reign in its proxy forces in Iraq and Syria when the US and Iran are having constructive talks. They lash after after sanctions or after the Trump admin assassinated Qassem Soleimani.

Oh this tired, frankly juvenile, analysis keeps rearing its head. Yes, there are no threats to regional peace but Netanyahu, no genuine threats to Israel either. Iran and its proxies are armed with candy to pass out to Israeli children, not building up deadly arsenals and
Israel is pushing the Middle East - and, by extention, the US - toward full-scale war.
This is is deliberate: Netanyahu knows when this war is over, he's over. Hence a propensity for perpetual, and expanded, war.

Most Israelis escaped the anti-Jewishness prevalent in countries where people had names like "Mariam Barghouti." You're insane if you think we will ever put ourselves at your mercy again -- sell this Siren's Song to the ignorant fools of JVP.
The Israeli left that is “anti-occupation” needs to start reconsidering their role as settlers. You’re still occupiers.
To be anti-occupation means rectifying the reality you have inherited and still are a part of.

You...realize that's a British document, right? The Government in Palestine in that document is the British Mandatory Government -- the authority welcoming in the Jews was the British Mandatory authority.
So when you see the pic of the "Government of Palestine" manhole from Haifa -- the government in question is the British Mandatory government, not a local government, Jewish or Arab.
