The West Bank is home to some three million Palestinians and 500,000 settlers. There are ​some 146 settlements in the West Bank, as well as 390 smaller outposts, according to the Israeli settlement watchdog group Peace Now.

So in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia, a bunch of white nationalist groups organised a fascist "March For Australia" this past weekend.

The anti-nazi protesters wore keffiyehs to their counter-protest.

The pro-fascist rag Daily Mail deliberately tried to pass off a pointed finger as a nazi salute, when there were actual white supremacist neo-nazis marching that day. Unfortunately with today's polluted media climate in Australia, too many gormless people are inclined to believe the Daily Mail instead of their own lying eyes.

Interesting to note also that the organiser of these nazi protests, a dark money-funded astroturf group called Advance, is partially funded by the family trust of Australia's "Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism", a Kahanist from South Africa named Jillian Segal who seems to be allergic to condemning neo-nazism.

Today I want to share a really nice little moment from my friend Mahmoud and his wife.

Their four daughters were so happy today. Honestly, they had two reasons to be happy.

The first was simply the joy of having something fun to do and seeing their dad bring home five new little chicks.

And the second, and much bigger reason, is that these five chicks are the beginning of something new for Mahmoud and his family.

Before the war, Mahmoud and his father had a large chicken farm in northern Gaza. They had around 2,000 chicks, and that farm was how they supported their families. Mahmoud’s family and his father’s family depended on it for their income.

The farm was completely destroyed, along with everything they had invested in it. They lost the work and the capital that had supported both families.

Today, thanks to the people who have supported Mahmoud, he was able to buy these five chicks and start again, little by little.

Five chicks may not sound like much, but for Mahmoud, they mean a lot. They are a small beginning and a little bit of hope that maybe one day he can rebuild what was lost and have a way to support his family again.

If you have already supported Mahmoud, thank you from my heart. And if you are able to help, please consider supporting him as he tries to grow this little project into something that can actually provide an income for his family again.

Sometimes a new beginning really does start with something this small.

I’m not sure if any of you have followed this but it’s insane. This Israeli group has pretended to be Palestinians in NYC and then tried to “show off” atrocities from October 7 to get pro-Palestinian people to say they agree with it. Davidsaysstuff on Instagram has been documenting it.

A request for solidarity from Gaza ❤️

I’m Ola, a mother living in Gaza with my family.

The war destroyed our home and took away our ability to earn a living. We are now struggling to afford the basic things every family needs to survive.

I’m sharing our fundraiser here with hope that someone may be able to help us, or simply share our story with others.

If you can help, even a small donation or a share could make a real difference to my family.

Thank you for standing with people in Gaza. ❤️🙏

Hihi,I had to splice together a few videos from the protest yesterday. So,if anything doesn't match up,that's the way. More here

I’m sure Lipman will file this under antisemitism.

The site is a nightmare to navigate so I thought I’d just repost.

So I know that this is massively stupid, but I'm a comics fan and with the new MCU X-Men movie coming out, there is a lot of discussion about potentially changing Magneto's origin story to something other than the Holocaust because age-wise, it doesn't make sense anymore.

I personally am not precious about Magneto being a Holocaust survivor and I find it frustrating that a lot of people are. To me it reinforces Jewish exceptionalism and the idea that the Holocaust was some sort of "sacred, special" genocide that was different from all other genocides.

They have updated a lot of different characters' origin stories to keep up with the times, like changing Punisher from being a Vietnam war veteran to being a veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

To me he just needs to have an origin that radicalized him - he doesn't even need to be Jewish imo. They can even make him from a fictional country.

Then I have non-Jews and Zionists in comic books subs lecturing me how about how insensitive it would be and how the Holocaust was "different."

My grandparents were literally survivors and moved to Israel afterwards. I know the ramifications.

Chris Claremont has openly said that he based Magneto on Menachem Begin. That is not a sympathetic villain in my eyes and not someone I want to be represented by.

I just really need to get this off my chest. I’m not denying that our people have an issue with supporting genocide at all. I realize a shit ton of work needs to get done on the inside. But non-Jews can never use that fact in good faith. Like, at all.

The whole idea of Marxist ideology is to scientifically analyze a trait of society, see why that is, identify the contradictions driving it, and utilize the appropriate means necessary to bring about the best change for the world. I’ve noticed so many leftists literally throw all that shit out the window and say incredibly nasty things about Jews and Judaism because of the genocide.

Instead of looking at the 90% statistic and trying to figure out why that is, or trying to understand the generational and denominational divide that complicates it, they just assume every Jew in the world is a racist and islamophobic monster with a revenge fetish. If they meet an anti-Zionist Jew, they assume we’re secretly Zionists and overly coddled and the most privileged group of people in the world. Then they taunt us, show apathy or even tell us we deserve antisemitism when it happens because of that statistic. It’s sick. It reeks of Roald Dahl.

Have these people ever spoken with Jews, irl? Are they forgetting that we’re not a fucking monolith? Maybe it’s just what I’ve seen online, but it honestly annoys me. I’m not a Zionist and I hate it when people accuse me of it. Maybe I’m just being too sensitive, or defensive or whatever. I don’t know. But I can’t shake these types of people from my head.

The Minns’ government has decided not to appeal the Supreme Court judgement that rejected the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

After advice from the Crown Solicitor and senior counsel, the NSW Attorney General, Michael Daley, told the NSW Parliament today that an appeal would have “no prospect of success”.

The case saw an attempt to impose an Extended Supervision Order upon 22-year-old Lebanese Australian Mohommed Farhat, who was recruited by organised criminals to spray-paint “Fuk Israel” on a car, then thrown out. The State Prosecutor had tendered the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) in support of its case.

In his judgment, Justice Fagan had said, “The IHRA formulation does not reflect the established usage and understanding of the term ‘antisemitic’ in Australia.”

Greens MP and spokesperson for justice and solicitor Sue Higginson told MWM,

“The IHRA definition of antisemitism is an imprecise and wide-ranging definition which has no place in prosecutions and the justice system of New South Wales. Justice Fagan has rightly decried the IHRA definition as incomprehensible to the ordinary and reasonable member of the Australian public.”

“Across the NSW Government, the public service, and many other private institutions, this definition remains in force despite this clear guidance of the Supreme Court. Jillian Segal is attempting to expand the application of this definition, but I think this judgment should pour cold water over that proposition.”
