Unfortunately, after 75 years, some nations did not make the cut.
Israeli historian #IlanPappe: ‘In a genocide, there are no two sides’
Central to Pappé's thinking is the idea that “ #Zionism was a European solution for a European problem... it was very clear from the very beginning that this was a project that could only be done by force, both to create it and to sustain it"
On #Israel’s #oct7 retaliation: “the one thing that surprised me, was the European indifference to the Israeli #genocide”

I've been throwing the same red flag out there since #Oct7 divided the #fediverse.
Sad really. Some people can be intelligent enough to be dangerously ignorant.
We'll see... Mairav Zonszei, senior Israel analyst at the International Crisis Group: "For the First Time Since #Oct7, a Broad #Israel-i Backlash Against the War in #Gaza"

“With ‘The Tomb of the Broken Amulet,’ I wanted to put a classical mummy story in a #Passover setting,” said Shorr, who enjoys blending #Jewish elements with popular #folklore. “The story isn’t just a fun genre mash-up. It’s about a post-#Oct7 family contending with loss, finding courage and learning that like the Passover #seder, our stories don’t truly end until we’ve found what’s missing.”

#Comcast bleeding subscribers, stock value is crashing.
"Comcast acquired NBCUniversal, which includes the NBC broadcast network, in 2013 for $16.7 billion. Comcast also owns other media assets through NBCUniversal, including Universal Pictures, and cable networks like MSNBC and CNBC."
Perhaps if #CNBC was not screaming recession but stopped when #Trump was re-elected?
Or if #MSNBC was not pushing #Hamas body counts since #Oct7?
Or how about #NBC not kissing the #Republicans ring?

October 7th forever marks one of the most serious terrorist attacks in the Western world.
Israel remains hollowed-out between a relentless tension of grief and the reality of grappling with the wounds of recovery and survival.
The US it witness to an unleashing of antisemitism: violent anti-Israel riots on college campuses, bomb threats, physical attacks, and a fear of harm that requires an armed presence in synagogues.
Please join as we explore how to navigate the new reality of this collective trauma.

"As was the case last year, there also is intense concern in some countries about a high level of #antisemitic incidents.
More than 10,000 antisemitic incidents in the #UnitedStates were reported between #Oct7, 2023, and Sept. 24, 2024 — the most ever recorded by the Anti-Defamation League.
The Secure Community Network, which provides security and safety resources to hundreds of #Jewish organizations and institutions across #NorthAmerica, has been issuing frequent advisories ahead of #Passover.
Specifically, the group has warned of possible threats from white extremist groups, including some organizing along the U.S.-Canada border. SCN said key extremist anniversaries, including #Hitler’s birthday on April 20, coincide with the holiday, raising concerns about the risk of #violence targeting Jewish communities."

"An Israeli man [Rami Davidian] who claimed to have heroically rescued hundreds of people...on 7 Oct 2023 has been exposed as an outright liar”
"Davidian...also claimed to have seen dozens of dead victims of alleged rapes on that day, some with objects inserted into their genitals"
Raviv Drucker, a journalist with Israel’s Channel 13: “These are stories made up from beginning to end. Hair-raising stories that never, ever occurred.”
Russland scheint davon ausgegangen zu sein, in der Phase der #Besatzung bis zu 5% der Ukrainer umzubringen. Und scheint in den besetzten Gebieten auch so vorzugehen. Das wären 1,9 Millionen getötete Menschen.
Wieviel ist das in Atombomben?
Und warum interessiert nur die russische Atombombe? Weil die vor der eigenen Haustür ist?
Was ist das Versenken der Moskva gegen den Korea Krieg, Vietnam-Krieg, Algerienkrieg? Oder den Beschuss der israelischen Hauptstadt aus Libanon? #oct7 ?
Somehow, supposedly with no infrastructure, money, facilities, or support at all, Hamas managed to find rocket scientists and the supplies to build more launchers and rockets.
Or, more likely, pay enough money to buy them.
Amazing, isn't it?
They supposedly can't afford food or water, yet have plenty of money to build and buy fuel for rockets.
It's a great mystery.
mark this post. this “investigation” of the #Oct7 attacks ―by the Trump guy who used to make a living as a double agent, trafficking in state secrets and blackmail― will mark the beginning of the end of #Israel as we know it.
this is the kind of “investigation” gringos have set up in the past, as colonialist points of entries. go look at what happened with the kingdom of #Hawaii
Netanyahu’s gamble was baiting gringos with #Gaza but you know they won’t stop there.
they want all of Israel.
No daily body counts from #Hamas in the news.
No #freepalestine
No #genocide sympathy terrorists.
And no extracting demands from schools around the world.

Zionist Regime Suffered ‘Historic, Unprecedented’ Failure on Oct 7 Attack
All Zionist military formations suffered a “historic and unprecedented” failure in repelling the Palestinian Resistance’s Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, as their preparedness was deemed “zero”, an investigation conducted by the Zionist military, the findings of which were published on Thursday, revealed.
The regime’s Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) failed to understand Hamas for years, the probe highlighted.
The occupationnewspaper Maariv cited senior military officials as saying that “the failure has historical dimensions and requires study for generations.” A high-ranking source added that the investigations do not provide reassuring explanations.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas successfully struck the regimes military’s command and control within the first minutes of its multifaceted operation, which involved land, air, and sea assaults.
Zionist media reported that most field commanders—ranging from platoon and company leaders to battalion commanders—were killed at the outset of the attack, including three brigade commanders.
The military’s investigations pointed to a complete lack of preparedness across all formations, including the collapse of intelligence from both Aman and the Shin Bet, highlighting that the military’s Gaza Division “was defeated within the first two hours of the operation.”
According to Maariv, the military has conducted 77 investigations into the war, divided into five categories: general assessments of Hamas’ operational framework, intelligence failures, decision-making on the night of October 6–7, the military’s response to the attack, and battle-specific inquiries.
At the core of these investigations lies the central question: How did the regime find itself under such a deadly attack without any of its intelligence formations providing a warning? How did the occupation allow the Palestinian Resistance to “grow and develop just meters from ‘Israeli’ settlements along the border”?
Hamas planned the operation for over a decade
Maariv also revealed that Hamas had been planning the operation for more than a decade. Zionist military investigations indicate that the main catalyst for the regime’s collapse on October 7 was the 2021 so-called “Guardian of the Walls” operation, after which Hamas began to recognize its ability to defeat the occupation.
According to the newspaper, Hamas worked on multiple levels, with a particular focus on building its capabilities to execute its strategic operational plan. Simultaneously, the Palestinian group initiated a deception scheme that occupation military officials describe as one of the largest in military history.
The military’s investigations further revealed that Hamas was on the verge of executing its operation twice before October 7 but called it off at the last minute: first in October 2022 and again in April 2023 during the Jewish Passover holiday.
On both previous occasions—as well as on October 7 itself—both Aman and Shin Bet failed to anticipate the attack or issue a warning about it.
The newspaper stressed that for an entire decade, both Zionist military and political leaders believed Hamas was deterred and shifting toward a settlement, whereas, in reality, Hamas’ leadership—under Yahya Sinwar and his team—was preparing for the October 7 operation.
The investigations described the regime as “blind” on multiple levels—political, military, and intelligence—having failed to anticipate the attack and suffering from a persistent gap in understanding reality.
They also identified at least 10 signs over the years that could have indicated the occupations misjudgment, yet they were ignored.
“Zionist blindness”, the investigations clarified, was rooted in an organizational culture that had become deeply entrenched across the entire security establishment in recent years.
Within the military and at the political level, no one challenged decisions from higher ranks, creating a distorted reality in which, even when unusual intelligence surfaced, analysts within Aman and Shin Bet sought to justify existing assumptions about Hamas’ intentions rather than question them.
The investigations also pointed to a problematic “intelligence culture” that operated on the assumption that “‘Israel’ knew” everything, rather than questioning whether there were fundamental gaps in its understanding.
The newspaper noted that within the Zionist military, there is a consensus that the investigations are difficult and that the military has much to learn and rectify.
However, senior officers believe the investigations must be taken a step further—through the establishment of a formal commission of inquiry to examine the failures of October 7 and everything that preceded it.

Can we take our love-filled, broken hearts and channel that love “b’zchutam” — in their merit — toward repairing some of this brokenness? Can we each commit to doing an act of love and care in merit of Shiri, Ariel, Kfir, and Oded? In merit of those who have fallen, are still missing, or need healing?

The 2 handover ceremonies were still highly orchestrated, w/masked gunmen escorting hostages onto stages where they displayed release certificates.
A 6th hostage, Hisham al-Sayed, who appeared to be in poor health in a video that #Hamas released in 2022, was turned over in #Gaza City & was not televised. al-Sayed & Mengistu were both captured by Hamas about 10 yrs ago, the rest were taken in the #Oct7 2023 attack.
The news set off a paroxysm of fury & agony in #Israel rarely seen since the tumultuous days that followed #Hamas’s attack on Israel on #Oct7, 2023, when up to 1,200 people were killed and 251 were abducted, including Ms. #Bibas & her sons, on the deadliest day in Israeli history.
Responding to the military’s announcement, PM Benjamin #Netanyahu of Israel returned to the language of vengeance that defined his speeches in the aftermath of that attack.
