Amani's family - Amani, her three sisters, and parents - are languishing in an unheated tent. They need help, particularly given her father's illness. I have spoken extensively to & vetted Amani over the past weeks. Please consider donating. gofundme.com/f/ht8324-help-

Notice that even the subtitles are in English, not Arabic. This is propaganda directed at the west, not the Lebanese.

Why not Arabic subtitles if this is directed at the Lebanese? By the way are you going to admit that Israel had the kafala system until 2006 - where migrant workers were bound to specific employers and passports were systematically confiscated - and while it doesn't anymore,

It is important to learn at some point that a considerable percentage of “liberal Zionists” not only are moral hypocrites, but actively hate middle eastern culture and peoples.

Um no, they did not. They simply disaggregated identified deaths (with names and other identifying information) from reported deaths. they continue to cite the overall MoH estimate. Jerusalem Post is not a reliable source of information.

You left out the part about the reported "diversion bombing" with reportedly killing dozens of innocent civilians, including little children.

The Bassem Youssef stuff is a combination of Arab-Boomer-tier antisemitism and "Internet-people antisemitism" (references to Leo Frank's trial, "the Talmud," etc). This toxic brew was made even worse by the fact that Youssef is bizarrely convinced that he is not at all

This is a ridiculous whitewash. Polling suggests most Israeli Jews are indifferent to civilian casualties. There are telegram groups in Israel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers devoting to mocking and celebrating civilian deaths. The dehumanization is mutual and needs

It makes no sense for Christians to be antisemitic. Christians might be anti-Jewish on theological grounds; that would be logically consistent. But to hate Jews on the basis of ancestry (which is what Christians antisemites do) is absurd when Jesus was a man of Jewish descent.

Peak liberal Zionist tweet. In reality: two top

You weren't on the fence. Stop lying. In November you said Israel had no responsibility for a single civilian death in Gaza, because "human shields."

Not Jewish and certainly no expert on Jewish theology. But I'm pretty sure this isn't how it works. Also the founders of Israel were secular nationalists.

As the priest said, Israel was founded on ethnic cleansing and land theft, including of Palestinian Christians. Golda Meir lived in a villa stolen by the Israeli government from a Palestinian Christian, after said Palestinian Christian and his family were expelled from Israel (or

Of course the Nazis apologists are lying about this. The Nazis didn't just burn 'lgbt stuff,' but canonical works of 20th-century literature. (Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Mann, Georg Kaiser, Erich Maria Remarque, Hesse, Kafka, etc). Nazism was an anti-intellectual movement.

In order to clear what he calls "Judea and Samaria" (the West Bank) of Arab inhabitants, Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich has advocated "migration" of Arabs, including to Europe. It is strange that anti-immigration "right-wing" Europeans support the Israeli cause.

But Ashkenazi Jews (of mostly non-Levantine descent) have a right to return to a Middle Eastern "homeland" bc of the Kingdom of David thousands of years ago. Makes sense.

I mean we have polling data on this. Too bad it decimates your narrative. Per polling by a secular Palestinian university, 2% of Palestinian-Christian migrants say they did so because of Muslim extremism, while by far the most common reason for leaving was Israeli occupation.

While I knew a lot about the Israeli-Arab conflict before this latest war, one thing I've learned about Israeli governmental officials and many prominent Israel supporters (from online influencers to highly respected public intellectuals and journalists) is that they not only

Replying to

You're lying of course. Almost no Palestinian-Christian immigrants (only 2%) from the WB/Gaza say they left because of Muslim extremism. By far the most common reason they cite for immigrating is the Israeli Occupation.
