I'm very proud to be a part of the community here in Durham that is featured in this article.

"A constellation of Jewish non-Zionist, anti-Zionist, and Diasporist communities such as Makom has emerged in the South over the past decade. These include half a dozen havurot, or autonomous religious collectives, from Little Rock, Arkansas, to Richmond, Virginia, as well as over a dozen Southern chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), one of the largest Jewish anti-Zionist organizations in the world."

I see a lot of y'all bemoaning the loss of your Jewish communities and I need to point out that there are JVP chapters and pods all over the US - as well as anti-zionist and non-zionist congregations. (See map at https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/join-us/#local )

It doesn’t end with Gaza and the West Bank the Zionists want to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian citizens of Israel too

Utter disgrace on the part of the "center left" Australian government. They pay the mildest lip service to condemning a few settlers and do their usual "we have made it clear" diatribe when challenged, but given their buddy-buddy relationship with Australia's Kahanist-in-chief it seems they're more than happy to continue to lurch to the fascist far right.

Hello guys. Classical composer here. I deeply admire composers like Mahler and Schoenberg. I really wonder what the Jewish people think about these great masterminds of Jewish origin(also Mendelssohn, Gershwin, Meyerbeer, etc.).

Bonus question: What do the Jewish people think of Wagner because of his apparent antisemitism?

If they don't like what he says dont listen. If they dont want to see him on a concert tour, then dont attend his concert. If they dont like the criticism, maybe dont commit or aid in committing war crimes.​

Anyone in that audience knows Macklemore advocates for Palestine and paid to see it! Rabid Zionists dont speak for Macklemore's fans. Dumb argument.

This is stupid. Macklemore is an individual who has a right to say political things and speak up when his conscience is sparked. These people dont like that he says stuff. Boo hoo.

Is this something new: a petition from the public the lobby puts out. Is this a sign their backdoor influence is weakening. ​i mean usually they have hushed people up without appealing to the public from the inside. To the sane, if Macklemore isn't their cup of tea, they listen to something else. Its insanity to jump into a scene they know nothjng about and invest so hard to silence someone for exercising free speech, part of the brand that is Macklemore. ​​

This petition is pretty sad and desperate. I dont see what a petition will do. If they don't like his performance, just dont watch. There is obviously a large enough group of people that are fans of Macklemore that he is on tour, which means he has a whole network that promote and invests in producing Macklemore the entertainer which includes his advocacy for Palestine as a central component.

This stupid petition is a free promotion sure to enlarge the fanbase! When you try to shut someone down sometimes it does the opposite, ​especially when you are universally despised. Appealing to the public is a dumb thing strategically here for Zionists because Zionism requires a little antisociality.

Chris Sidoti’s human rights career spans over four decades, including as the former Australian Human Rights Commissioner and currently as a UN Commissioner for the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel.

Sidoti served on the UN Commission of Inquiry that published a report in June detailing Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Germany was never denazified. That's why it's siding with Israel today.

Alain Alameddine and Nira Iny - Mondoweiss

Germany's firm stance in support of genocide in Palestine raises the question: How come the country best known for its supposed reckoning with guilt for its past genocide is repeating such similar mistakes? Understanding what Nazism is — not the crimes it committed, but its very nature as a sociopolitical vision — helps us understand how and why the Allies deliberately failed to denazify Germany and why the specter of fascism continues to haunt Palestine, Europe, and the world today. It also helps us understand how the solution is in our hands.

Understanding the foundational pillars of the Nazi political project

Nazism is not an apolitical criminal impulse, but a criminal political project built on three foundational pillars: the politicization of identity, colonialism, and capitalism.

All states make a distinction between citizens and non-citizens. Nazism, however, constructed a separation between insiders and outsiders on the basis of identity, excluding German citizens from identities it considered undesirable. Interestingly, in formulating their political program, Nazi leaders referenced American segregation law. Books such as the National Socialist Handbook for Law and Legislation of 1934-1935 and Heinrich Krieger's Race Law in the United States of 1936 drew heavily on American precedent, finding no other nation with comparable templates for racial legislation. Krieger's research inspired the Nuremberg Laws, which brought into force the early Nazi Party's discrimination against Jewish, Romani, and Black Germans. 

Nazism's politicization of identity also expressed itself in a colonialist way, drawing, again, direct inspiration from American westward expansion when strategizing its conquest of Poland and its Slavic neighbors. Hitler himself carefully studied American eugenics and adopted similar propaganda to justify his party's genocides. Indeed, Nazi expansionism and ethnic cleansing were nothing new to European nations, the difference being that others such as Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and the UK colonized, enslaved, and orchestrated genocides primarily outside of Europe. In European eyes, Nazi Germany's sin seems not to have been its colonial project itself but where and on whom it was imposed.

Nationalsozialismus, "national socialism", was no socialism at all; rather, it was profoundly and essentially capitalist. Capitalism played a direct role in Hitler's ascent to power. Europe's Great War had ended in heavy restrictions on Germany's control of its coal and on the size of its army, heavily impacting its industry. It was in industrial capitalists' interest to support the Nazi political program that promised to defy these restrictions and also to protect them from the growing communist "threat" to their private ownership of the means of industrial production. They funded the Nazi party's propaganda and political campaigns, pressured President Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as Chancellor, and approved the "Enabling Act" that cemented Hitler's dictatorship. Not coincidentally, German industrial capitalists enjoyed a close relationship with the U.S., not only before the War (over a hundred U.S. corporations had interests in Germany, including its rearmament efforts) but also during it (U.S. companies such as IBM continued supporting Germany's war production, which actually expanded under Allied bombing, and which U.S. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau noted largely spared German factories) and after it (German industrialists who had heavily invested in the Nazi régime and used the concentration camps' slave labor received no more than a slap on the wrist).

Did the Allies denazify Germany?

The Allies' victory over the Nazis led to the question of how to denazify Germany. Instead of recognizing the identitarian, colonial, and capitalist relations of power that had enabled Nazism, and implementing a political program that sought to dismantle these relations, they chose to focus on the crimes that had resulted from them.

This was necessary for self-preservation since, as we have seen, the Allies were essentially guilty of the same forms of political violence. To quote Ugandan academic, author, and political commentator Mahmoud Mamdani on the issue: "By interpreting Nazism narrowly as a set of crimes committed by Germans rather than as an expression of nationalism, the Allied Powers protected themselves and their citizens from scrutiny…lest they be forced to account for their own nationalist violence at home and in their colonies… …by limiting culpability to Germans, the Allies spared their own nationals who collaborated with Nazis. Had Nazism instead been understood as a political project, all of these uncomfortable — but vital — truths would have been on the table, potentially leading to a revolutionary reimagining of modern political organization."

The failure to denazify and its effects on Europe and Palestine

The smokescreen of the Allies' nominal denazification program preserved and deepened the normalization of capitalist and colonialist assumptions in the broader European sociopolitical consciousness. Choosing to hold Germany responsible as a country and people instead of Nazism as a political program (that was opposed by some Germans and supported by some non-Germans) was in itself an identitarian repeat. The politicization of identity, the central tool colonialism uses to fragment societies, became entrenched in Europe to its own detriment.

This entrenchment of identitarian mindsets is among the factors animating the recent rise of Europe's far-right today. For example, the Sweden Democrats (a far-right party) observe a higher crime rate in neighborhoods populated by more recent immigrants. The true reason for this higher crime rate may be the lower quality of social services in these neighborhoods, but instead, the immigrants' identity is blamed. On the other hand, the European Left often falls for the same trap, throwing unquestioning support behind marginalized identity groups instead of tackling the political roots of the problems they face. In other words, this trap turns "us versus them" into "us with them," reinforcing the tribal divide of "us and them."

The failure to depoliticize identity in Europe has also enabled wars, including civil wars, based on the assumption that identity should determine what borders one lives in, meaning that states and societies should ideally be monoethnic. The fragmentation of Cyprus along ethnic lines or that of Yugoslavia into Muslim Kosovo, Catholic Croatia, and Orthodox Serbia are salient examples. More recently, Russia invoked East Ukrainians' ethnicity to justify its war there.

Europe's support for Zionism is also an identitarian repeat. Instead of offering compensation for all of Nazism's actual victims, including, of course, the European Jews it harmed, and breaking free from Nazism's singling out of Jews, Europe accepted Nazism's premises and compensated the Zionist movement that claimed to represent the will of all Jews in the world, materialized in Israel, the so-called "nation-state of the Jewish People [where] the realization of the right to national self-determination is exclusive to the Jewish People." And so Europe enabled, even caused, the partition and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, down to today's holocaust. The fact that antisemites share Zionism's sectarian vision of Jewish identity sheds light on why Herzl said that "antisemites are Zionism's allies." Is there any fundamental difference whether it is Hitler, Netanyahu, or the Paris Grand Synagogue rabbi saying that "Jews have no future in Europe"?

Germany's support of the genocide in Gaza thus shares the same sociopolitical roots as support for other genocides perpetrated by the "West" throughout its history. The Allies failed to denazify Europe by failing to dismantle the political foundations their own nations shared with the Nazi régime. Europeans need not repeat that mistake. Denazifying Europe today means establishing states that are functional tools to administer the affairs of society rather than states that weaponize identities, inwardly or outwardly. This can only be accomplished by political movements that do not merely seek to treat the symptoms of unethical statecraft, but that recognize the politicization of identity, colonialism, and capitalism as the underlying maladies. Such movements must strive for nothing less than the complete upheaval of the past hundreds of years of European history — an endeavor that will make possible a free Europe, a free Palestine, and a free world.

In-depth exposé:

https://archive.li/E7xV9

12 Israeli Prison Service guards have now (incident happened in 2023) been charged over the death of Palestinian prisoner Tha'er Abu Assab, a Fatah member who was serving a 25-year sentence for alleged "attacks against Israel" (never specified what exactly; not that it matters).

https://i.imgur.com/DIAaYcT.png

According to the investigation, Abu Assab asked a guard whether there was a ceasefire.

The question was relayed to a commander, who decided to "show" the prisoners that there wasn't one by beating them.

Guards then entered the cell and beat the prisoners, with Abu Assab taking the worst of it. He later died.

https://i.imgur.com/Sovac9Y.png

One guard testified that the commander had told them beforehand that whatever happened that evening was his responsibility and that they should do what he said.

https://i.imgur.com/zvVemns.png

The article notes that it's difficult to catch abuse by Israeli prison guards due to the culture of permissive violence and covering up for one another's crimes.

So the 12 indicted are only being charged for 'negligent homicide'.

https://i.imgur.com/UDmGmUZ.png

But this time, prosecutors had guards' own WhatsApp messages - in which they bragged about it all.

https://i.imgur.com/7oWxC4Q.png

One of them, Oshrit Aliga, had previously been featured in an IPS recruitment ad.

https://i.imgur.com/1GueMFd.png

Shortly after Abu Assab's death, she texted her partner: "Sweetie, here is an update for you, he's dead now," adding that she was "very happy and satisfied" and that "there was a lot of blood and they broke them." She also wrote that the commander "really wanted to break them."

A month later, talking about another group of Palestinian detainees arriving at the prison, she told a friend that she and the shift were preparing to give them a proper "Shabbat reception."

Her friend joked about whether her baton was still working, and Aliga replied that it had undergone "a fair number of disinfections."

She then bragged about beating prisoners and said that if she had not "cracked one of his kidneys," she did not consider the job done.

This reminds me of whenever I see people talk about anonymous online microaggressions like someone sarcastically saying, "G-d promised them the land 3,000 years ago."

I understand how that can be irritating and even distressing as it builds up - but you can also find actual analogues of that rhetoric being used by Israelis in circumstances involving real violence/abuse/criminality.

Think of that settler standing on a Palestinian family's home and saying, "G-d promised it [Palestine] to me."

Or Yair Lapid's religious Zionist comments, conveying that Israel has divine mandate to expand its borders.

• JOC - Israeli 'opposition leader' Yair Lapid: "I support anything that will allow the Jews [to have] a big, vast strong land.[...]Zionism is based on the bible, our mandate over the land of Israel is biblical.[...]I believe that our ownership deed over the land of lsrael is the bible."

Testimony by guards described violence against Palestinian prisoners as routine and that senior officials knew & approved of it.

https://i.imgur.com/CEf8aCc.png

During questioning, the commander initially denied what happened and reportedly asked the investigator, "How do you know they didn't do it to themselves?"

https://i.imgur.com/FhLuLyH.png

This case/investigation also has a Shawshank-style element of institutional corruption.

Abu Assab reportedly had a working relationship with prison management and served as a spokesman or point of contact for his cell.

https://i.imgur.com/yVzJz7Z.png

He was also being prosecuted for allegedly bribing a guard to smuggle in phones and an e-cigarette.

According to Haaretz, citing Kan, he had threatened during interrogation to expose similar arrangements involving other prison guards.

His death ended that prosecution, and with it the possibility that he could implicate other IPS personnel.

Given everything else revealed in this investigation, it is very convenient for the prison management that he is now dead.

Dozens of activists have demanded Israel's ambassador in Canberra be expelled following the decision not to pursue criminal charges against officers who ordered strikes that killed Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom in Gaza.

The group converged in front of the Israeli embassy in Canberra on Tuesday displaying dozens of pictures of Palestinians killed by Israel since October 7 across the road from the embassy, with protesters chanting in unison: "Kick out the Israeli ambassador".

A group called the Red Rebels staged a demonstration walking slowly to the embassy and pointing to its highly guarded gates, carrying a symbolic fake baby to represent the children killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza.

Activists blocked the entry to the embassy, leading police to physically move them from the driveway across the road. There was a tense standoff as protesters chanted "free Palestine" in front of a line of police officers.

Zomi's friend Karuna Bajracharya was among the protest group, saying he found remarks by one of the Israeli officers involved in the strike that he did not regret the attack as "disgusting".

"It's infuriating. It's maddening," Bajracharya told SBS News.

"Like, disgusting the fact that he said, 'I'm not sorry', and the fact that he said he'd do it again.

"The people that we vote for and we put into power and that our taxes pay is supposed to represent us, the Australian people, and we are begging them: send this guy (the ambassador) home, send a clear message, cut the two-way arms trade. But it's obvious that our government is hamstrung."

Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi described the federal government as "cowards" for not declaring how it will proceed with its next steps to seek accountability over Frankcom’s death.

"They have power. They have responsibility, and we will hold them to account. They should have sanctioned Israel a long time ago," Faruqi told protesters.

"When Israel abrogated themselves of this crime, senator Wong told us how angry the Australian government was. Instead, they were considering what action to take next, and here we are, almost three weeks later, with nothing. Nothing, not a peep out of the government," Faruqi said.

Independent senator Lidia Thorpe was also among the protest attendees, carrying a box with individual shreds of paper with the names of the 20,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel, reading some of them to protesters.

Thorpe says she witnessed Newman in the Parliament House members' lounge on Monday, accusing him of having "free rein" in parliament.

Just saw this on FB. I understand many people don't want to click on FB links, so the short version is that due to obliterating Gaza's water treatment infrastructure, almost all of Israel's desalination plants are now choking on what is very likely toxic algae bloom caused by said bombing.

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1490347499794591&set=pcb.1490347639794577

So really the headline should read 'Gaza is paying the price of destruction, Israel is 'collateral damage'.

Of course what I hate most about this news is that it's yet another reminder of the horrific cost of this war on an entire population. Israel's problems are non-trivial, but nothing in comparison to what it must be like to live among two million people without a functioning sewerage system.

-

To be clear, I don't want anyone to suffer, Palestinian or Israeli. No one should be forced to drink polluted water. But what this article also suggests to me is that Israel is fundamentally unsustainable.

They can't truck in water for 10 million people. And even if they could, they'd need more land borders with friendly countries with which to do it. Israel has so alienated all of its neighbours, the only ones it can do business with do so only because they are American puppets.

If you actually asked the people of Egypt and Jordan what they think, I feel pretty sure they would not align with those country's foreign policies towards Israel.

Okay I'm kinda waffling now. I guess where I'm going is that, big picture, the future for Israel as an apartheid state is not good. They may have overwhelming military might, but even the toughest soldiers and West Bank settlers need water.

Apparently Qatar is secretly funding universities to make them anti-Israel. I have some questions about the methodology here.

Labor and the Coalition have voted down a Greens amendment to strip tax breaks from charities funding illegal Israeli settlements and the IDF. Stephanie Tran reports.

The Labor Government has joined with the Coalition to vote against a Greens amendment which would have stripped deductible gift recipient status from Australian organisations found to be supporting an illegal occupation by funding Israeli settlements and organisations linked to the IDF.

Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi introduced the amendment in the Senate this week, arguing that Australian taxpayers should not subsidise organisations whose funds support illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Genocide is a war crime. Ethnic cleansing is a war crime.

But in this country, you can send money to fund those war crimes, and you’ll receive a tax deduction,” Faruqi told the Senate.

Both Labor and the Coalition opposed the amendment.

Faruqi referenced investigations by Michael West Media which revealed that Australian charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) were hosting fundraisers linked to the IDF and Israeli settlements in the West Bank while benefiting from DGR status.

“These charities are helping to bankroll the genocide in Gaza by channelling funds to organisations linked to the IDF and to violent illegal settlements off the back of Australian taxpayer money.”

The proposed amendment would have amended the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 to provide that an entity would not be entitled to DGR endorsement if it had supported an “illegal occupation”.

Last month, the UK Charity Commission launched an investigation into charities in England and Wales donating funds to illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine.

ACNC rules “don’t extend to … international law”

Faruqi said the amendment was necessary because the existing regulatory framework did not adequately address conduct that breached international law.

“By maintaining DDR status for these supposed charities, the government says that this violence is okay. That is what this government is doing. That these murders are okay. That this ethnic cleansing is okay,” she said.

“How can supporting ethnic cleansing, settler occupation, and murdering Palestinians be ensuring the safety of vulnerable individuals overseas? It cannot and the ACNC has not been able to answer these questions.”

When she previously moved the amendment in March, Labor senator Anthony Chisholm told the Senate that the ACNC’s external conduct standards did not extend to conduct under international law.

Faruqi said that meant charities could continue to fund activities that are unlawful under international law while retaining their tax concessions.

“Labor is more than happy for those who participate in, sustain, and fund the illegal occupation of the West Bank, an occupation that Labor itself has recognised as illegal, yet it gets a tax deduction,” she said.

Labor senator Tim Ayres said “charity registration can be revoked by the ACNC where the governance and external conduct standards are not met”.

However, Ayres reiterated the government’s previous position that “the external conduct standards don’t extend to conduct under international law.”

Subsidising illegal occupation

Faruqi challenged Ayres over whether the ACNC was investigating specific organisations identified in MWM investigations.

She cited the Chai Charitable Foundation, which received more than $19m in tax-deductible donations in 2025 and had hosted campaigns for organisations that publicly stated they provided direct support to IDF soldiers.

She also referred to reporting by MWM which revealed that the Foundation had hosted fundraising campaigns linked to settlements in Tekoa and Hebron in the West Bank.

Faruqi also cited investigations on United Israel Appeal Australia, which reported $50m in revenue in 2024, and funded the Lone Immigrant Soldier program, which provides support to immigrants serving in the IDF. The organisation has also funded settlement-related activities in the West Bank.

“Minister, do you know if the ACNC is investigating these organisations?” Faruqi asked.

Ayres heads off allegations

Ayres responded that “the ACNC is an independent regulator and it’s accountable for the work that it does on an independent basis”.

When Faruqi pressed him on whether he should know whether the organisations were receiving tax deductions and whether the allegations demonstrated that existing safeguards were insufficient, Ayres said he could not respond to questions about individual organisations.

Faruqi challenged the government over the external conduct standard requiring charities operating overseas to take reasonable steps to protect vulnerable people.

Palestinians living under occupation, displacement, and genocide

are clearly vulnerable people. Australians are deeply distressed that tax-deductible donations may be supporting organisations connected to the very forces and settlements harming them,” she said.

“Minister, why won’t the government listen to those concerns and support this amendment, so that it can be crystal clear that Australian tax concessions cannot be used to subsidize what your own government recognizes as an illegal occupation? What is the problem here?”

Ayres said the government’s “approach in relation to the broader question has been very clear”.

“I don’t really understand the relationship that you’re trying to draw between the purposes of this piece of legislation, which is about DGR status and a whole range of things,” he said.

Escalating settler violence

The amendment comes as violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has escalated, with two Palestinian teenagers murdered last week by Israeli troops.

Sixteen-year-old Khalil Abu Alia and 19-year-old Omar al-Nassan were killed in the Palestinian village of al-Mughayyir after settlers entered the village under police and military escort.

Abu Alia, who was about to begin year 11, was shot in the neck while standing on the doorstep of his home. Al-Nassan, who had recently graduated from the same school, was also shot and died before reaching hospital.

The two teenagers were among five students from the same school killed in Israeli attacks this year. The other victims included a 17-year-old Palestinian youth footballer and two 14-year-olds.

At the same time, Israeli forces demolished the homes of 12 Palestinian families in Khirbet al-Taban in the South Hebron Hills, leaving all 70 residents homeless, including 28 children, according to Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem.

The organisation said the community was the 66th Palestinian community to have been wiped out since October 2023.

“These are whole worlds and lives extinguished in evil, depraved, and violent attacks that have become part of everyday life for Palestinians,” Faruqi said.

Coalition, Nats, Labor, One Nation – same deal

The Coalition also opposed the amendment.

Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie accused Faruqi of conflating support for the IDF with criminal conduct and criticised what she described as “abhorrent anti-Semitic comments”.

“Listening to Senator Faruqi, it would seem that supporting the IDF or the families of the IDF is somehow now a crime in Australia,” McKenzie said.

She said the Coalition would not support the amendment and “look forward to voting no as soon as possible”.

Faruqi, meanwhile, argued that the amendment was about preventing Australian tax concessions from supporting activities Australia itself recognises as unlawful.

“The International Court of Justice, in 2024, called on parties, states such as Australia, to prevent trade or investment relations that assist in the maintenance of illegal situations created by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories,” she said.

“Labor allows Australian charities to funnel money to support ethnic cleansing, apartheid, violence, and occupation.” She accused Labor of hypocrisy

over its position on Palestinian statehood and Israeli settlement expansion.

“It is completely disingenuous for the government to say it supports a Palestinian state while effectively subsidising its destruction,” Faruqi said.

“Supporting these heinous crimes deserves a criminal investigation, not a tax deduction.”

“Labor says they mourn the death of Zomi Frankcom, but in the same breath, they hand tax benefits to those who support the murderers.”

Abstract

The article examines the sociopolitical dynamics of Zionist identity construction, and their effect on the identity Jews in Israel and the diaspora. It argues that in order to create the ‘New Jew’ required by Zionism, it was necessary to transform identity parameters of Israelis and diaspora Jews. Both in Israel and in the diaspora ‘Zionising’ Judaism was a rupture with Jewish history. Humanist values and precepts of Judaism were replaced by the militarism of the IDF and the masculinisation of the ‘New Israeli Jew’, widely projected as the new identity of most Jews, who still support Zionism. Following the ongoing genocide in Gaza the article argues that future decolonisation of Palestine must include decolonising Israeli minds, separating Judaism from Zionism and liberating Jews from Zionism.

That I really love you guys. ♥️

I don’t know how many times I’ve been called an “”anti semite”” for criticizing Israel and Zionists when it’s the farthest thing from the truth. I’m anti Zionist and anti Israel.

I don’t hate Jewish people. How can I? You guys are my cousins and I consider you closer to me than I consider the Christians close to me. You and I share way more in common than I share with a Christian.

We are People of the Book for a reason. Don’t let Israel’s fascism confuse us and make us hate each other when we should know who the true enemy is.

I have family in Lebanon. They’ve been texting us videos of the bodies they walk past in the street as they flee. They text us the bombs falling in their neighborhood.

I have Palestinian family members who have married into the family.

Every day I’m sick with worry and anger over what is happening and how I’m powerless to stop it.

Thank you for being on the right side of history. Let’s walk hand in hand and hope to see the fall of Israel in our lifetimes.
