So wait.....Thy rejects any evidence that points to Israel acting exactly like the people that persecuted the Jews during WWII but we have to take everything he says as gospel?

Israel sends troops into West Bank homes besieged by Jewish settlers.

Summary:
  • Israeli troops reinforce presence in Qusra.
  • Settlers block families, cut water and electricity.
  • U.N. says 15 Palestinians trapped in 'state of terror'
  • U.S. envoy calls settlers' actions criminal.

QUSRA, West Bank, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Israeli troops took up positions inside Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra on Thursday, the mayor said, after settlers trapped Palestinian families this week in a siege Palestinians say is aimed at forcing them ‌from their land...

...Loui Ridi, a Palestinian-American based in Ohio whose brother is besieged in his home, said that he felt helpless. "It is terrifying, frustration, fear of my family for their lives," he told Reuters in a phone interview.

Ridi said he had been watching the developments over the security camera installed in his Qusra home, but that the soldiers today removed it. He was planning to travel to the home soon, he said...

...
The military has come under increasing pressure to ‌halt rogue ⁠land seizures by settlers emboldened by the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which has spearheaded a rapid expansion of settlements in the West Bank.

Earlier on Thursday, a day after troops deployed tear gas in a failed attempt to remove the settlers, it said it had sent more troops to the area "to carry out defensive missions and patrols in the area to maintain security and protect the area."

Video from earlier in the week showed several Israeli men in green military garb joining the settlers in a morning prayer in the tent. The military said it was taking disciplinary action against ⁠any personnel involved...

Netanyahu says Gaza documentary 'NAZA' is 'shocking incitement'.​

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that a new documentary film which alleges that mass civilian deaths were routinely built into targeting decisions in Gaza was part of a wave of global incitement against Jews

"NAZA", directed by Israeli journalists ‌Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday and received a 25-minute standing ovation when it was screened on Thursday.

The film takes its title from an Israeli military term for expected "collateral casualties" and is built around anonymous interviews with intelligence officers and soldiers involved in the war...

The whole point of Ed Sheeran is that he is apolitical, he is the chill guy who sings shallow pleasant songs. If someone running a Friends fan convention insisted on a pre-show of Silkwood, it would be just as poorly received, and not because the people there are all stooges of the nuke industry but because they paid money for a chill night of simple entertainment and the service provider lied about it. It is just such an Terminally Online brainwormed thing to do, the metastasis of stress and argument into every waking hour, the abolition of joy, the insistence of rightthink everywhere. There can be no love except the love of Big Brother.

Nearly all media has (of course) botched the story, claiming Macklemore merely said "Free Palestine." When in fact, he showed extremely graphic war footage with overlays of "Genocide" and "Holocaust," while he said "Free Palestine, and I stand with CUAD and SJP and JVP, and just being anti-genocide and anti-apartheid doesn't mean I'm anti-Jew."

Macklemore’s “Free Palestine” remarks at Sheeran show spark backlash

Macklemore’s “Free Palestine” speech at Sheeran’s show sparks petitions, celebrity backlash and tour pressure.
www.newsweek.com www.newsweek.com

"I have no problem with women, I only am against sinning whores who murder their babies, here are some more chopped up fetus pictures, can't we all agree on being Pro-Life? And up next, what you've all been waiting for, Paw Patrol!"

CUAD, SJP, and JVP are groups with extensive histories of harassment and hate speech against Jews. CUAD in particular has said very bluntly that most of the world's Jews should be killed, and they put out leaflets with the Hamas logo on them.


And of course we are receiving this moral lecture, this certainty of what is Just Criticism, from the guy who did this:

You ever think that maybe, just maybe, he could've grown from that? And that by showing the horrors of war, people will maybe wake up and see just how bad it is over there?

Ironbite-or if even the slightest criticism of Israel means you have to jerk your knee so hard, you kick yourself in the god damn head?

For more info on the Ed-Sheeran/"Free Palestine" incident:

-

"In a two-minute speech on 4 September, the Grammy-winning artist told the audience he wanted the people of Gaza and “the occupied West Bank” to know “we have not forgotten about them”, prompting owners of subsequent stadium tour venues – including Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots and a prominent supporter of and donor to Israel – to object to Macklemore’s appearance on the tour...

...
He also played his protest anthem Hind’s Hall, which celebrated protesters’ occupation of a building they named in honor of Hind Rajab, a six-year-old killed by the Israeli military in 2024, accompanied by images of the Israeli military’s destruction of Gaza, which has killed more than 75,000 people in 16 months, according to some estimates.

At the second of his appearances at MetLife on 5 September, Macklemore reiterated his support for Palestine and addressed Jewish members of the audience: “Criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace, love; for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect and equality.”

Just cancel all celebrities IMO. Nobody deserves to be that famous for the exact same reason nobody deserves to be as rich as the 1%.

That costume Macklemore wore was 100% racist. I don’t think there’s any real argument there. It’s unambiguously a racist, antisemitic Jewish caricature.

I was *bewildered* that the ADL “take (sic) him at his word that he did not have any ill intent and unreservedly accept his apology.”

Guess that’s when they first started to just gloss over antisemitic stuff rich people do like Musk giving a Seig Heil! and being a lot more concerned with arenas dropping Macklemore than they are ones (still!) hosting Kanye and his literal Hitler songs.
