Hart, I was a Zionist for nearly all my life. I actually went to live in Israel and was there for some years. So, you don't need to instruct me about that.
Seeing the reality that, in order to exist, Israel requires the oppression, dispossession and expulsion of Palestinians took me decades. Now that I see it, I can't unsee it.
Replying to @RabbiMivasair
You could not understand his answer because you don't know what the word Zionist means.
Unless or until you have a common understanding of what it means to be a Zionist, you can ne Er understand the why.

Video of masked Israeli settlers striking European diplomats and elected officials near Taybeh, a Christian village in Palestine. The 78-year-old French mayor Bernard Baudoux was thrown to the ground and beaten with iron bars.
Make no mistake: If the Israeli government wanted to put an end to this, they could within minutes. They don't.
Just like Biden pretended that he wanted a ceasefire, but in reality worked tirelessly to enable Israel's genocide.
They are playing the same trick on us again.

Replying to @IDF
I was a combat soldier in an elite IDF unit. I served in the West Bank and witnessed firsthand how settlers could do whatever they wanted with impunity.
Today I’m the Executive Director of ״Breaking the Silence״ an organization that has collected thousands of testimonies from Israeli soldiers over the past two decades.
And I can say with certainty that this statement by IDF spokesperson is a lie. The IDF is not trying to stop Jewish terrorism in the occupied territories. In fact, it protects Jewish terrorists and arms them with US-made M16 rifles.
If the IDF genuinely wanted to stop Jewish terrorism, the Chief of Staff could simply order the 30,000 soldiers stationed in the West Bank to carry out arrests. It’s that simple.

“I don’t know how parents can raise such monsters,” Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine says of the Jewish settlers who attacked her in the West Bank today.
How can our governments support this monstrous Israeli state?
Uzma Khan retweeted
To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

Religion is a great marketing tool for many companies. Stick 'sharia compliant' on a product that is nothing of the sort and watch the faithful pour money into it
HSBC sold Muslims a “Shariah-compliant” fund.
Then, per a Middle East Eye analysis, that fund put over $100 million into five Israeli military-linked firms. Hyphen reported the same fund bought $38 million of Palantir.
Read that again.
Your zakat-conscious, riba-avoiding, halal-screened savings have been funding weapons.
Big banks don’t build Islamic finance for us. They build it to extract from us. Slap “Shariah” on an index tracker, add a two-scholar committee, collect the fees, and never ask what the money actually does.
2 billion Muslims. Trillions in savings. And we keep handing it to institutions that see our faith as a marketing segment.
Enough.
We can’t keep outsourcing our deen to banks that don’t share it. We can’t keep trusting a label when the portfolio says otherwise.
That’s why we’re building @purefiapp.
- Interest-free yield
- Low-cost remittance to family back home, live in 100 countries
- Built by Muslims who care where every dollar goes
If your bank can quietly fund arms makers under a halal label, it was never your bank.
Support our own. Build our own. Own our own.

Journalist Hind Khoudary has sent the Gaza Municipality appeal (fundraising link) to several celebrities with millions of followers.
They ignored her. This is what Gaza actually means to many "celebrities": a hunt for fame and money.
I am calling on you, alongside her, to share this appeal: gaza-city.org/campaign/6
اسمعوا، بعتت لناس عندهم ملايين المتابعين يشاركوا حملة بلدية غزة «ما قبل الشتاء»، حملة تمويل عشان البلدية تقدر تفتح المجاري وتسلّكها، ونحاول نمنع ميّة المطر من إنها تغرق خيام الناس.. طنشوني 😬
يمكن عشان الحملة تطوعية، وما في مصاري مقابل نشر ستوري، مع إنه كل دولار فيها حق للناس اللي بدنا نحميهم من الغرق والشتا.
بتعرفوا حد ممكن يساعد في النشر بدون مقابل؟

This is an important thread about the film Naza. And not the perspective you’d expect to hear from a Palestinian.
Yesterday, I watched Naza.
I did not go to learn what had happened in Gaza. I am from there. I am one of the victims of this war, one of its witnesses, and one of those who have paid a price that will not end when the war does.
I did not need a film to tell me how entire neighborhoods were wiped away, how residential buildings were bombed with the people still inside them, or how families were forced to leave their homes without knowing where they were supposed to go.
Nor did I need anyone to tell me about the famine. I lived through it twice, with all its humiliations, down to the smallest detail. Or about the starving people who were killed while trying to reach what were so absurdly called “food distribution centers.”
I know all of this.
I was there.

کراچی کے گلشنِ حدید میں ایک خاندان کی موت کا واقعہ ہمارے معاشرے کے لیے ایک دردناک سوال چھوڑ گیا ہے۔ مبینہ آخری خط میں مدد کے لیے رشتے داروں کے دروازے کھٹکھٹانے، انکار اور تنہائی کا ذکر ہے۔ ہم شاید کسی کی مالی مدد نہ کر سکیں، مگر اسے ذلیل کرنے کے بجائے حوصلہ تو دے سکتے ہیں۔ کسی کا حال پوچھنے کے لیے پیسے نہیں، احساس چاہیے۔اپنے آس پاس نظر رکھیں، ممکن ہے کوئی خاموشی سے ٹوٹ رہا ہو۔ کبھی آپ کا ایک فون، ایک جملہ یا تھوڑی سی مدد کسی کی امید بن جائے۔۔۔
یہ رویے شرمندگی اور دکھ کی حد سے بھی آگے ہیں ۔۔۔ 💔
ہمارے پاس روز گار نہیں ، پیٹ نہیں بھرتا ، پچھلے 6 ماہ سے رشتے داروں سے مدد مانگ رہے ہیں ،کبھی راشن کے لئے ، کبھی بچوں کے دودھ کے لئے، کبھی سیلنڈر میں گیس بھروانے کے لئے ہمِں پیسے دے دو۔۔۔ ہماری خالاوں ، چاچوں اور کزنز نے ہمیں ذلیل کر کے بلاک کر دیا کہ ہم سے پیسے مت مانگو ہہارا تمہارے ساتھ تعلق نہیں ۔۔مزید یہ بھی لکھا کہ اس ملک کے قانون سے کوئی امید تو نہیں ہے ۔۔۔ میت پر پانی ا ور کھانا کھانے والے لوگ آتے ہیں ۔۔کوئی کسی کی مدد نہیں کرتا،روڈ پر پڑی لاش کو کوئی بچانے کی کوشش نہیں کرتا ۔۔۔۔
یہ سب لکھا ہے کہ ان میاں بیوی نے اپنے آخری خط میں جسکے بعد انہوں نے بچوں کو زہر دے کرخود کشی کر لی۔ اپنے آس پاس نظر رکھیں کہ آپ کا اپنا مشکل میں تو نہیں ۔۔۔ کم از کم اچھے رویوں کے لئے تو پیسے نہیں چاہیئے ہوتے ۔۔۔
کراچی کے علاقے گلشن حدید میں نجی سوسائٹی کے گھر سے ایک ہی خاندان کے 5 افراد میاں، بیوی، 2 بچیوں اور ایک خاتون کی لاشیں ملی ہیں۔ ریسکیو حکام کہتے ہیں کہ گھر سے 40 سال کےشاہ زیب،40 سالہ اہلیہ صباء، 5 سالہ بیٹی ایزل اور 4 سالہ بیٹی آریہ کی لاشیں ملی ہیں ۔پانچویں لاش 18 سالہ شمائلہ کی ہے جو شاہ زیب کی بہن ہے۔۔۔۔۔
گھر کے سربراہ متوفی شاہزیب کا خودکشی سے قبل لکھا گیا ۔۔۔۔

Now, as Pakistanis have taken to the streets to protest my father’s release, Asim Munir’s regime imposes emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (my father’s political stronghold).
Having failed to secure Balochistan or Azad Kashmir, Munir once again invokes terrorism to justify another military operation in Pashtun lands. Yet again sacrificing lives in an attempt to cling on to power.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s democratic mandate must be restored. My father, our detained family members, PTI representatives and all political prisoners must be released immediately. The people’s right to peaceful protest must be respected.
Pakistan belongs to its people, not its military.

The 'man of peace' who the govt nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize has bombed or ordered military strikes against at least 7 countries .
President Donald Trump played a historic role in advancing peace in South Asia. His timely intervention helped bring Pakistan and India back from the brink and secure a ceasefire, that is holding till today.
In recognition of his outstanding contribution, Pakistan had nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
We sincerely hope President’s efforts to promote peace and prevent conflict in our region receive due recognition this time.

Hoy hemos perdido a Anwar Shaikh: economista pakistaní-estadounidense que empezó en la economía poskeynesiana y acabó en la economía política clásica, sobre todo en el marxismo. Con esas herramientas predijo la crisis de 2008. Y además protagonizó uno de los mejores "troleos" de la historia académica 🧵
