“... I believe the great majority of Australians know the accusations against me are ludicrous and they can see this is our fight against attempts to interfere in our democracy by a lobby group trying to stifle free speech on behalf of a foreign power – as they are doing in all western democracies because their narrative is unravelling.”

Neos Kosmos · Mary Kostakidis begins fundraising in preparation for Federal Court caseBy Dimitri Kallos

Action Amstel Gold Race

Wilhelminabrug, Maastricht, zondag 20 april om 09:00 CEST

Free Palestine Maastricht (source)

🚨 Join us to protest!

This week, the Amstel Gold Race kicked off in Maastricht — but among the cyclists was the so-called ‘Israeli’ team, backed by zionist billionaire Ron Baron and built as part of the regime’s “Start-Up Nation” propaganda machine. It’s not just cycling — it’s sportwashing: a deliberate attempt to whitewash the crimes of apartheid and occupation through international sports.

No to normalisation. No to occupation. Yes to liberation.

Be there — Sunday, April 20th at 9 AM. Raise your voice for Palestine.

Boycott the race. Break the silence.

As an add on to the post above, if you don't think speaking out against Israel's genocide in Gaza and on behalf of the people being slaughtered there matters, then why is the Netanyahu government working so hard with multi-billion dollar social media companies like Meta to suppress pro-Palestinian speech online?

Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram

"A sweeping crackdown on posts on Instagram and Facebook that are critical of Israel—or even vaguely supportive of Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far, and Meta has followed suit—widening the net of posts it automatically removes, and creating what can be called the largest mass censorship operation in modern history.

Government requests for takedowns generally focus on posts made by citizens inside that government’s borders, Meta insiders said. What makes Israel’s campaign unique is its success in censoring speech in many countries outside of Israel. What’s more, Israel's censorship project will echo well into the future, insiders said, as the AI program Meta is currently training how to moderate content will base future decisions on the successful takedown of content critical of Israel’s genocide."

As I've noted elsewhere, it's very clear that the pro-genocide Pig Empire establishment used the sham ceasefire Trump supposedly brokered in Gaza as an excuse to reset the discourse and resume the genocide at pace. We've returned to a pre-2024 media environment of silence and minimization of crimes against humanity, particularly in America, and these folks are working overtime to keep you from talking about, and hopefully (for genocidal monsters) thinking about Gaza while Israel attempts to wipe out the Palestinians there before we wake up and realize what's going on.

The only way to fight this, is to keep talking about it, and resisting both the genocide and the US government's support for it. We've been here before and broke through the cone of silence; in fact that's the whole reason the ruling class establishment is trying to rewind the discourse around the genocide in Gaza to a pre-2024 state. We must not let them get away with it by contributing to that cone of silence.

People in America should start strapping homemade bombs onto themselves, call in false reports to ICE on themselves being illegal immigrants, and when the ICE agents get to them, they blow everyone up. Even if every attempt doesn't kill the ICE agents, it'll make them scared to respond to reports, which will slow their activity down depending on how many people choose to participate.

Because a significant portion of the regime's fascist efforts to crush dissent revolves around their fact-free declaration that opposing a US-backed genocide in Gaza, being conducted by Israel, is actually antisemitism (and also a foreign policy matter that is beyond regulation due to presidential powers over foreign affairs), the ruling class establishment that supported that genocide even when it belonged to Biden, has a vested interest in presenting Jewish Americans as a unified bloc standing in opposition to anti-genocide protestors in support of Israel and the Zionist agenda. After all, the narrative that all of this monstrous bullshit is being done to protect Jewish people falls apart very quickly once you realize that vast numbers of American Jews are actively against all this fascist, genocidal bullshit; so that latter fact has to be kept from the American public, lest they become wise to the reality that this is all just a propaganda op to justify arms sales, genocide, and fascist repression of folks ideological opposed to the regime.

The reality however, is quite different from the picture you're allowed to see on television; Jewish Americans are actually massively overrepresented in the anti-genocide protest movement, and a vibrant, growing collage of Jewish left organizations are risking the personal safety of their members to vigorously oppose a fascist regime and say, quite directly, that not only are the regime's actions putting Jewish people in danger, they will not allow genocide, deportations, and fascist repression to be conducted "in their name."

For more about this hidden, but not secret story, let's turn to this deep dive by Shane Burley into the rise of Jewish left resistance in America to settler colonial occupation, genocide, and the fascist Trump regime's attempts to deport student protestors under the guise of combatting antisemitism:

Jewish Organizations Are Fighting Back Against Khalil Deportation

“This year, all over the U.S., Jews are holding emergency Passover Seders calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil and an end to the criminalization of all those calling for an end to the Israeli government’s genocide of the Palestinian people,” JVP said as it announced the action. This seder is part of a long tradition of using Jewish rituals as a protest tactic, uniting the prophetic spiritual tradition of Judaism with the practical strategies of physical resistance and blockade. This action, offered with relatively short notice and promising to mobilize huge numbers of Jews and allies, is the result of the relationships that have been built across Jewish organizations as they try to confront the repression coming in Trump’s second term.

“We’re building a new coalition right now. Because not all of us have been in the same space together,” Lily Greenberg Call, a member of the New York City chapter of the Jewish anti-Occupation group IfNotNow, called into a megaphone on March 20. “But it is more important than ever now to reach for each other and unite for our communities and our neighbors who are under attack,” she told the thousand people who had flooded the streets of lower Manhattan, the historic home of the U.S. Jewish left. “People in this city have been abducted, separated from their families, thrown in detention camps, and threatened with deportation.”

Frankly, I don't really have a lot to add here because speaking for Jewish Americans who oppose fascism being conducted in their name really isn't my lane. Burley's extensive documentation of how Jewish resistance groups are banding together all across the country is however informative, and enlightening given a media environment where even critics of the Trump regime who still support genocidal Zionist objectives in Gaza are unprepared to report on that resistance. The obvious reality here is that no matter what the ADL says, a fascist regime stacked to the brim with antisemite nazis, doesn't give a flying fuck about combatting antisemitism, and fully intends to use the mere existence of Jewish people and antisemitism in our society, as the spear point for their transformation of America into an over fascist dictatorship - and that's a story, you just won't hear on the Six O'clock News.

The advocacy group IfNotNow, held a protest October 19, 2023, outside the Los Angeles Brentwood, California, home of then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian Columbia student who was detained by ICE on the way to his citizenship interview, was nabbed essentially on the order of the Zionist organisation Betar. They expect the Trump regime to act against their other targets, as well.

> “We confirm having repeatedly provided information on Mohaen Mahdawi,” the group said in an email in response to HuffPost’s questions Monday, apparently misspelling Mahdawi’s first name. Betar said it expected the other person it named in its March email, as well as “multiple U mass Amherst staff and students,” would soon be arrested as well, “we believe.”

> The group said, “We have nothing to apologize for,” adding: “As the forefather of Zionism, Ze’ev Jabotinsky said in 1911, No Apologies.” huffpost.com/entry/mohsen-mahd #Zionism #Israel #Trump #Fascism #ColumbiaU #USPoli
