RT by @MagicMagid: "I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multip…

RT by @MagicMagid: We're watching an Israeli genocide of Gaza.

1⃣ Killed 1500 Palestinians, 450 children, 248 women (and counting)
2⃣ Cut off food, water, electricity to Gaza. Without electricity, phones aren't charged, Palestinians can't record, & Israel can commit genocide in peace.
3⃣ Demands "evacuation" of over 1 million Gazans from the North to South Gaza, while bombing them along the way. This is cover for an impending bombardment and potential ground invasion.
4⃣ Dehumanization of Palestinians by the Western PR machine & media, effectively easing the way for genocide
5⃣ Killing journalists (8 so far) reporting on Israeli crimes, including @Reuters' Issam Abdullah today
6⃣ Targeting hospitals and densely-populated areas with white phosphorous, a chemical weapon

This is the history of genocide you read about in textbooks. God is watching. Be on the right side of history.

Today we mark 28 years since the genocide in which 8372 Bosniak civilians were brutally murdered. They were killed after Serb forces attacked the UN "safe area" of Srebrenica in July 1995.
