MEANWHILE IN #GAZA

Today, Monday, Israeli forces killed at least 21 Palestinians and wounded dozens more in a series of air strikes and shootings across the Gaza Strip, including areas where civilians had gathered to receive humanitarian aid

This means that since 18 March, when Israeli forces resumed operations following the collapse of a ceasefire, 5,685 people have been killed.

@Nonilex the fucker is probably too drunk to read them.

@mbrewer You got me in a good mood today so I decided to reply with courtesy and facts backed up with examples. If at this point you're still playing the antisemitism card, well, we are all wayyyy past that bollox so you can fuck off back to your little corner of your cosplay anarchist because I personally couldn't give a flying fuck about your feelings. If I'm accused by hypocrites of anti-semitsm because I stand with the people, I wear it with pride.

@mbrewer it never ceases to disgust me when I encounter people like you who, when faced with the atrocities and criminal behaviour of the Israelis, all you can do is focus on the discomfort of those being confronted with the truth — as if their momentary unease is more worthy of attention than the lives being destroyed.

@mbrewer Let’s be honest: many across the political spectrum, including US officials themselves, have acknowledged that Israel holds a uniquely privileged position in US politics. That’s not a conspiracy — that’s political reality, shaped by decades of lobbying, strategic alignment, and shared military interests. 3)

Too many Democrats are too timid to speak out against war with Iran, falsely believing that staying on the sidelines absolves them of the consequences of such colossal decisions.

@mbrewer So instead of making an uninformed accusation of antisemitism against me, maybe take a look at the undeniable evidence of the enormous influence successive Israeli governments have had on US foreign policy. Focus on that — not on doing what right-wing fascists want by turning on each other just because political reality makes you uncomfortable. 🔚

@mbrewer

The billions in military aid passed with near-unanimous votes.

The repeated US vetoes at the UN shielding Israel.

Statements like Biden’s infamous “If there were no Israel, we’d have to invent one.”

None of that is about “Jews controlling the government.” It’s about a state-to-state relationship that, like all relationships, must be open to scrutiny — especially when lives are at stake. 9)

2025-06-22

@mbrewer The US-Israel relationship is shaped by a tangle of factors: defense contracts, lobbying power (AIPAC and others), shared military interests, and yes — for some — messianic belief systems that see Israel as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. That’s not about Jews. That’s about American politicians making decisions based on a specific ideology. 8)

2025-06-22

@mbrewer And by the way, I'm Irish and Dublin has long had deep influence in US politics too — through culture, diaspora, and diplomacy. The difference? We don’t use that influence to push wars or occupations. Influence isn’t the issue. What the Israeli military regime do with it is. And for context, added to that is the fact that countless US politicians aided paramilitary groups in Ireland much to the disgust of many Irish people. 7)

@mbrewer This Tucker Carlson–Ted Cruz clip is a perfect example of what I'm talking about: US politicians explicitly justifying unwavering support for Israel not on geopolitical strategy, but on religious grounds rooted in Christian Zionism. That’s not a trope — it’s on video. It’s policy theology. And while both these people are abhorrent gifting hypocrites, they are clearly showing the world where they and their kind's loyalties lie 6)

2025-06-22

@mbrewer So, if you have a specific issue with what I said — and not just an assumption about what I meant — don’t project antisemitism where there is none. It only silences the victims of this violence further. 5)
