@paul when they hired moderators,

I immediately had 3 posts removed. I told off the CEO and manually moved my account after seeing that I'd mentioned #BDS 3 times and did you know
"BDS is a violent ideology" according to their PAID moderators?
That's not all that's wrong, just the tip of the iceberg.
#Mastodon will not last, and I do have an alternative.

Israel imposing apartheid on Palestinians, says former Mossad chief

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/06/israel-imposing-apartheid-on-palestinians-says-former-mossad-chief

Il est désormais plus facile de critiquer Israël depuis l'intérieur du pays que depuis la France !

Ici, critiquer Israël vous vaut illico d'être traité d'antisémite. Même par l'ignoble Macron.

Les menaces contre les militants de BDS vont être plus difficiles à justifier désormais.

“A seditious project:
Asa #Winstanley’s book [‘Weaponising #AntiSemitism’] shows how the #IsraelLobby facilitated the influence of a foreign government's interests in dictating who gets to lead the @UKLabour #Labour Party, causing the downfall of Jeremy #corbyn

by Jonathan Coulter in @mondoweiss

This article is well worth a read because of the additional light it sheds on the complicity of British mainstream media is undermining democracy in the country they continually claim is a ‘bastion of democracy’! It also reinforces the extent to which, if any reinforcement is necessary, the ‘Lobby’ has managed to ‘insulate’ pretty much all the upper eschelons of British government from any anti-Israel/ Zionist leanings!

The article touches on the success of the Israeli #Apartheid government in ‘manufacturing’ & helping to resource a wide range of pro-Israel ‘astroturf’ civil society organisations as part of its strategy to counter the #BDS movement. A much fuller account of this activity is provided in author Hil #Aked’s excellent recently published book: “Friends of Israel: The Backlash Against Palestine Solidarity” (Verso)

Ok, j'arrive pas à comprendre le cri «selle, selle» dans ces cases de #LuckyLuke éoù il guide un bateau. C'est-à-dire qu'il veux que le bateau retourne dans sa position originale peut-être? Le monde raccourcit «remettre en selle» comme ça?

"Friends of Israel:" Trying to outlaw Solidarity with Palestine
https://www.juancole.com/2023/08/friends-solidarity-palestine.html

As they explain, “the Israel lobby is very far from incorporating all Jewish people and is, moreover, far from exclusively Jewish.”[1] Evangelical Christians have become increasingly prominent in pro-Israel activism in the UK.

#ApartheidIsrael #Palestine #BDS #Fascism #UK

In the US, we need to force the Israeli group #AIPAC to obey the same laws every other
AGENT OF A FOREIGN STATE must obey, and register as a foreign agent, or go to jail.
They're had thier loophole long enough, and no other organization have been allowed to circumvent US law they way they have. yes, and #BDS the terrorist state of #Israel We could have rebuilt #Detroit with the money we sent Israel.

I’ve just started reading Hil #Aked's new book “Friends of #Israel: the Backlash Against Palestine Solidarity” (Verso, 2023) in order to get a better handle on what the #IsraelLobby in Britain today looks like and how it works to enable and sustain the regime of #Apartheid oppression by the Israeli state against Palestinians.

#Palestine solidarity activism globally, especially the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (#BDS) movement, is facing a major pro-Israel backlash. Aked’s book tells the story of this repression in #Britain with detail and nuance, explaining the role of the #Israeli and #British governments and the #Zionist movement.

By pushing back against efforts to conflate criticism of Israel with #antisemitism and demystifying the #IsraelLobby actors defending Israeli apartheid, Aked carves out a space for an anti-racist discussion about the pro-Israel networks standing in the way of Palestine solidarity, situating them as part of the long history of British #complicity in Israeli #Apartheid.

Quoting briefly from an early section of the book entitled “Britain’s historic responsibility”:

“Britain’s historic and ongoing role on Palestinian oppression cannot be overstated. In the early years of Zionist settler colonialism, British imperialism had something of a symbiotic relationship with the Zionist movement; indeed, the former nurtured the latter in its formative years.

[..] The original foundation, then, of British support for the Zionist project was its usefulness to the British Empire, just as Israel’s ‘special relationship’ with North America today rests, to a very significant degree, on its utility to US imperialism.

This book therefore attempts to situate the birth and ongoing activities of the British Zionist movement within the broader history of British state racism which continues to this day. [..] The same racist political logic shaped Britain’s treatment of colonial populations, from Palestinians to the Windrush generation, and both groups continue to suffer the consequences today.”

@mondoweiss Thank you for the clarity. Glad you're online here.
Just try getting any sanity on mastodon.social - I was banned for using the hashtag for #BDS and that only took a couple of days after they hired "moderators".
I am not the only one.
They said "BDS is a violent ideology".
#Mastodon is worse than Twitter, in many ways.
We'll need to move forward to better options.

Le 27 août 2001, Abu Ali Mustafa est assassiné par un tir de deux roquettes contre son bureau de Ramallah par un hélicoptère de l’armée israélienne.

Plus de 50 000 palestiniens participeront à ses funérailles à Ramallah le 28 août malgré le bouclage quasi total des villes et villages de Cisjordanie et de Gaza par l’armée israélienne.

The #Overton window of acceptable debate in respect of #ApartheidIsrael is moving fast!

“Liberal #Zionists hit rock bottom on faith that #Israel will redeem itself” by Philip #Weiss in @mondoweiss

“For years the liberal Zionist position was, We stand with the better angels of Israel’s nature, Israel will redeem itself. And all they’ve gotten for that good faith is militant #JewishSupremacy.

Now that’s changing. American liberal Zionists are turning on Israel, thanks to the arrogance and extremism of the #Netanyahu government. They are denouncing #Israeli “#apartheid” and calling for boycotts and sanctions against Israel for its human rights abuses.”

[Rhetorical question: If even liberal Zionists are starting to acknowledge that Israel is an #Apartheid state & to call for Boycott Disinvestment & Sanctions (#BDS) to be enforced by the #US against #Netanyahu’s #NeoFascist regime, will the #IHRA definition of #AntiSemitism now quickly be revised to remove ‘criticism of the state of Israel’ from that definition?]

#ApartheidIsrael was already one of the most prolific engines for the global military, permanent war, surveillance & death industry …. and then this:

“#Amazon and #Google: partners in Israeli Apartheid”

via Jonathan K Cook in @intifada (#ElectronicIntifada)

“Getting either Amazon or Google to honor their public commitments to ethical behavior by withdrawing from Project #Nimbus may prove much harder – and not only because of the contractual obligations Israel has insisted on.

#Israel has become too integral to the global #surveillance and war industries for any tech giant to risk antagonizing it. With profits galore to be derived from closer collaboration with the military industrial complex, the pressure will be on to forge closer bonds with Israel, whatever its human rights record.

And with the #IsraelLobby
deeply ensconced in Western capitals, the tech corporations will not wish to risk the reputational damage of being tarred as anti-Semitic for boycotting Israel.

Pressure may be mounting on many companies to distance themselves from Israel over its occupation and apartheid policies. But for Amazon and Google it is those very practices of occupation and #Apartheid that are a tech seam waiting to be mined.”

“As #Amazon’s 200 million worldwide #Prime members become increasingly reliant on door-to-door Prime Delivery we might remember that our consumption is linked to Amazon’s role in #Israel’s occupation.

People around the world are calling for their governments to end cooperation with Israel and boycott companies invested in the Israeli war machine. Taking on Amazon, whose encroachments into worker suppression and exploitation at home are intertwined with land theft and settler violence abroad, is more crucial now than ever.”

I just learnt that one of my uncles thinks (and tells other relatives) that I am antisemitic (despite being Jewish and loving my Jewishness).

So in his honor, I'm reposting my "antisemitic" op-ed:
