Zionism is NOT Acceptable Fascism!

IJAN: Anti-Zionism is Anti-Fascism – Jews Stand With John Avalos! (20.2.2024)

Last week, the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of San Francisco initiated an intimidation campaign against John Avalos, former member of the SF Board of Supervisors and current director of San Francisco’s leading affordable housing coalition, the Council of Community Housing Organizations. JCRC’s immediate goal is to punish Avalos for speaking out about Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But more broadly, this is part of their larger effort to stifle all critique of Israel by mischaracterizing it as antisemitic. JCRC has a long-history of such campaigns, usually targeting people of color-led social justice organizations that take a stand in support of Palestinian rights.

China: History of the Dragon Dance! (19.2.2024)

Hakka people – who are originally from Central and Northern China perform the ‘Phoenix’ Dance. A Chinese Phoenix looks like a Dragon (with different and darker colouring) – but has a central horn (like a Unicorn) on its forehead. Where this idea comes from no one is sure – but there is a rumour that Hakka people are a mixture of Han Chinese and the invading European ‘Hunnish’ Tribes that plagued the Northern borders of China thousands of years ago! The Hakka (Guest People) are responsible for the Qin and Han Dynasties and have spent their time migrating forever Southward over the centuries (bringing their Northern language, culture and martial arts with them).

Brazil's president accuses Israel of "genocide" against Palestinians

Brazil: President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva – Israel Committing “Genocide” Against Palestinians! (19.2.2024)

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not being waged between two armies, but rather Israel’s military is committing “genocide” against civilians in the Gaza Strip, Lula said during a press conference in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.

What Israel’s military is doing is in the same way that Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler and other European countries exterminated their Jewish populations in the first half of the 20th century, Lula said.

“What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the Palestinian people has no parallel in other historical moments. In fact, it existed when Hitler decided to kill the Jews,” said the Brazilian president.

George Galloway Mirrors Islamic Bigotry!

New Statesman: George Galloway’s Converstion to Islam! – Guardian: George Galloway’s Denial! (18.2.2024)

George Galloway, MP for Bradford West, is a Muslim. He converted more than ten years ago in a ceremony at a hotel in Kilburn, north-west London, attended by members of the Muslim Association of Great Britain. Those close to him know this. The rest of the world, including his Muslim constituents, does not.  

Over a halal, alcohol-free lunch at a cafe on Bradford’s main high street, Khan tells Galloway: “I know someone who attended your shahadah [the Muslim conversion ceremony].”  

He stares at me across the table, penetrating blue eyes squinted, pausing for the first time in an hour. His special adviser, a glossy-haired Asian Pakistani called Ayesha, looks into her daal while his new bride, Gayatri Pertiwi – a Dutch-born Muslim of Indonesian descent 30 years his junior, seated beside him throughout the interview – smiles at me.

Unity in Resistance!

Lebanon: PFLP Meets with Hezbollah to Discuss Ongoing Israeli Genocide in Gaza! (17.2.2024)

1- The Palestinian situation at home and the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, especially the terrorism practiced by the enemy on the city of Rafah. Palestinian National Unity was stressed together with the role of the Resistance in confronting the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people, Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem – whilst confronting the illegal Settlement and Displacement Projects that aim to liquidate the Palestinian people (Israeli inflicted ‘Genocide’) – with the Zionist removal of the Holy City of Jerusalem as their capital.

2 – The two sides condemned the Zionist aggression against Gaza, the West Bank and Southern Lebanon, and the accompanying Arab and International ‘Silence’ regarding the IDF-induced massacres, killing and terrorism taking place against the Palestinian people, whilst praising the role of the Resistance in confronting the ongoing Zionist aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese people – sending greetings to all the free people of the world acting in Solidarity with the Palestinian people!

3 – Strengthening unity among all Resistance factions, emphasizing the centrality of the confrontation in the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood – and Resisting the Zionist enemy which, through its racism – practices a ‘War of Extermination’ whilst Committing Crimes Against Humanity!

They made and used composite tools to hunt equids, ate meat and bone marrow, and used animal skins, Yang added.

Archaeologists also found that the stone tools, ornaments and bone implements unearthed at the site exhibit both Eastern and Western characteristics, providing evidence of the complex human communication in East Asia at the time.
