Yes. Arab Christians have Christian names. Did you really think names like Mary and Mark come from the West? How silly of you. I can understand why an Israeli would believe that since you're not really from the Middle East.

"My olives, my olives" Israelis uprooting olive trees with chainsaws and bulldozers. Only a colonizer with no attachment to the land could be so cruel.

Every Israeli football player is a soldier. You cannot even join the team unless you've been in the army. Expel them from FIFA. Don't tell me the Russians have to go but they don't.
They deleted it but I kept a screenshot. The Ukrainian government actually posted this picture, acting like Ukraine has been bombed more than Syria. This is not only despicable, but a flat-out lie.
When Russia bombs Ukraine, it's a "Russian airstrike" When Israel bombs Gaza, it's a Gaza airstrike. Western journalism

Confirmed. India has just bought oil from Russia-- at a discount (!) AND in rupees-roubles. This is the real story that you won't hear on the news. Global realignment.
Because Arabs didn't cut down their trees and replace them with non-native pine, unsuitable for that climate. Nature's way of signaling that settler colonialism isn't right.

You can't have healthcare or college, but Israel can have your money to commit genocide against Palestinians.

INVESTIGATION🧵: Israeli Olympic athletes are IDF soldiers. Many have called for genocide in Gaza, or expressed support for the IDF. This violates the Olympic Charter which states that sports and politics cannot mix. The evidence is staggering⬇️
You can recognize that European Jews have been persecuted for centuries, while also recognizing that this does not give them a license to colonize, steal land, and kill Arabs who have literally nothing to do with aforementioned persecution. Really not that complicated.
They're not "Gazans", they are Palestinians. Literally, most of Gaza's residents are not from Gaza. They are Palestinians who came to Gaza as refugees after Israelis ethnically cleansed them from their homes in other parts of Palestine.
I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting. 6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft. I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned. I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this

The idea that a Jew from Manchester, or a Jew from Brooklyn, or Berlin, has a "birthright" to Palestine, thousands of kilometers away-- a place they've never been to-- but a Palestinian doesn't, is the psychotic horse manure that you have to believe in in order to commit genocide
No one "hacked" the pagers. This is Israeli mumbo jumbo to make themselves look special. Explosives were placed in the devices. There is a security issue somewhere in the supply chain.
No Arabic speaker says "khamas" lol

Just so we're clear, Hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal, and Israel's response was to bomb 1.5m refugees Remember this next time Zionists put on their crocodile tears and say: "we don't know why they hate us. They just hate Jews"
It's not a war between Russia and Ukraine. It's a war between NATO and Russia, with Ukraine being used as a pawn, and Ukrainians paying the price of NATO expansion and antagonism.
We have a new Prime Minister in the UK, unelected by the British people or even the Tories. He didn’t give a single debate, interview or statement about what his “program” is. All we know is he’s stinking rich & worked for Goldman Sachs. But hey, he’s the first non-white PM! Lol

Israeli soldier laughs about raping a 16yo Palestinian girl. Now you know the war started in 1948, not Oct 7, and why it's called the "Nakba" (catastrophe).

Israel’s flagbearer at the Paris #Olympics is Ukrainian-born judoka Peter Paltchik. Paltchik signed bombs meant to be dropped over Gaza and posted about it on social media: “From me to you with pleasure”

"why don't Arab countries take in Palestinians"? 1. They have. Several times. 2. Palestinians are people, not inconvenient "things" to be moved around 3. "Why don't the Israelis stop stealing land and turning people into refugees?" is what you should be asking.
They killed her then attack the people carrying her coffin. Even in death Israel cannot leave Palestinians in peace. Revolting.
