This is par for the course for JVP's grasp on history and reality.

That sequence actually starts with Passover, the Jewish exodus from Egypt to ... you wouldn't know if you went to a JVP seder, but it's Israel.

Next, Holocaust Remembrance Day, established in 1959, is tied to…

In which Ralph Nader starts to notice that the left's accusations over Gaza don't match even Hamas's numbers, not by an order of magnitude.

It's an odd kind of admission, I'll give him that.

Can't wait to read his reassessment of the basic competence and neutrality of his UN…

It's time for another 🧵-- yesterday, the UN tried to explain why it reduced its estimate of the number of women and children killed in Gaza by more than 11,000. But the explanation was misleading in several key respects. 1/

Comparing Israel's response to Hamas atrocities to the actions of the Nazis is poor analysis in addition to antisemitism. I would have expected better from a country that ethnically cleansed 100% of its Jews.

Analysis from David May:

“While Israel undertakes massive efforts to avoid civilian casualties...Hamas works to maximize civilian casualties on both sides and even steals aid intended for the Palestinian people.”

'The Palestinian Authority is quick to go to the UN and demand recognition as a state. But when it comes to actually doing what is required of a state, such as manning the border of territory it claims, the PA is nowhere to be found.' – David May

Growing up, I was taught a narrative that Palestinians only wanted Israel now that the Jews had built it up.

That was false.

They just didn't want the Jews to have it, period.

Here’s a beautiful fun fact. The weekly anti-Boeing protests at the University of Queensland targeting “Zionist foreign interference” take place right in front of the Bao Steel Research Centre which works on creating jet fighter engines for the Chinese PLA Air Force.

What if the Levant is a region that historically has seen many migratory waves and that is genetically heterogeneous and that attempts to assert Levantine racial purity are ahistorical and eugenicist?

Post 10/7 Israel is a strange combination of the vulnerability and sorrow of Holocaust Jewry and the strength and bravado of Israeli Jewry. Yom Hazikaron has become: 'Never again, and this is how.'

The idea of Nakba-denial is a poor attempt to draw equivalence with the Holocaust and the attempts to deny that it happened.

The Nakba is ultimately a self-inflicted wound the Palestinians suffered in their failed attempt to annihilate the Jews (much like 10/7). But the history…

This Mother’s Day, all I can think of is the countless mothers who are affected by the atrocities of October 7th, especially those who are not able to spend it with their families.
