Zionists and Nazis Friends with Mutual Benefits $$
What came to be known as Cultural Zionism encouraged further Jewish links to the Holy Land but vehemently opposed establishing a Jewish-privileged state there. It’s important to note here that other Jewish groups of the time, like the Bund, wanted nothing to do with the Zionist project. Some warned of the dangers inherent in it, or of its undermining cherished Jewish values. To many it was another false messiah.
Then came the 1930s. As the fate of Europe’s Jewry became ever more dire, Political Zionism gained traction, not only among Jews but Nazis as well, as evidenced in the infamous Haavara Agreement, through which some 60,000 German Jews migrated to Palestine between 1933 and 1939. It was an early German ‘solution’ to the so-called Jewish question. The scheme was problematic, to say the least. The Zionists in Palestine used it to increase their numbers, but only Jews who could pay to go did. For Germany the arrangement served to break the 1933 anti-Nazi boycott while getting rid of some of its Jews. Yet European and American organisations condemned the arrangement (as did, interestingly enough, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, the most militant Zionist of his day), and as with the current crisis, the Haavara, or Transfer Agreement, tore the Jewish world apart.
The U.S. political and media culture has produced two of the most incompetent figures imaginable to vie for the role of leading the country into the abyss, writes Jim Kavanagh.
This letter is the immediate reaction of distinguished Australians, who hope many more will express their outrage that the State of Israel continues to ignore the United Nations, breach its charter and attack its personnel.
It is time the Australian Government stood up to Israel to demand a halt to all military violence and offered its full support to the United Nations and the Office of the Secretary General.
I do not believe there are enough MAGAts to reelect Trump, and even though the polls are close, I believe Trump fatigue and his rank idiocy will help people get America shed of this madman. Everybody knows who he is and what he wants and his ambitions are connected to himself and his family, not you, not this country. To vote for Trump is to surrender America’s imperfect democracy to a man who will destroy it in due course. I think the polls in these closing weeks will show the undecideds breaking toward Harris. According to Simon Rosenberg of Hopium, Republicans have dropped 60 polls in swing states in the past two weeks trying to push poll numbers in their direction. Do not fall for the cooked data. This race is not as close as they claim.
Israeli forces have repeatedly fired on medics and first responders as well as Unifil peacekeepers since Israel invaded Lebanon on 1 October, amid growing international opprobrium.
“The time has come for you to withdraw Unifil from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones,” he said. “The IDF has requested this repeatedly and has met with repeated refusal, which has the effect of providing Hezbollah terrorists with human shields.” (Netanyahu) UN mission says Israeli tanks forcibly entered base in southern Lebanon
The U.S. was not among the more than 100 United Nations member states that signed a new letter of support for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres after Israel’s foreign minister declared him “persona non grata” and barred him from entering the country.
The Pentagon confirmed Sunday that it has authorized the deployment of an advanced antimissile system and around 100 U.S. troops to Israel as the Netanyahu government prepares to attack Iran—a move that’s expected to provoke an Iranian response.
For instance, 96 percent of Gaza’s population (2.15 million people) faces acute levels of food insecurity. According to an October 2, 2024, letter to President Biden from a group of U.S. physicians, 62,413 people in Gaza have died of starvation.
Kol Nidrei on Yom Kippur is one of the unruliest, most liberating, and anarchic Jewish texts. It is our heritage of refusal. We need it today, more than ever, to liberate ourselves from the curse of Zionism that colonized our diverse Jewish worlds.
Over the years I’ve learnt to chew and walk at the same time. It’s taken a while, but I think I’ve mastered it. Being able and willing to condemn the actions of Hamas, and criticising Iran while also condemning the callousness of Israel’s incursions into Gaza, the West Bank and now Lebanon is something I think most reasonable people can and should do.
In recent days I’ve been stunned by the number of commentators who seem utterly incapable of entertaining this wider view. Surely international law, justice and humanity should be the yardsticks by which we judge the actions of the governments and nation states? You can’t be selective about this, – can you? Yet sadly, people are.
Michael West reports.Australia’s mainstream media continues to push the unfounded October 7 narrative of “babies beheaded” and “mass rapes” which gave rise to Israel’s extreme “collective punishment” in Gaza.
Everyone can see it. The bags of children, the bound and executed doctors, the flattened civilisation; the genocidal language of Israeli leaders, the moonscape of rubble and sinews that was once Gaza, the dehumanised humans tormented along their journey to erasure. It is the wrong question to ask – too naive, too much assuming the best of self-serving vampires.
You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel’s colonisation of Palestine
