American neo-Nazis point to Trump’s rhetoric — his attacks on diversity initiatives, his hard-line stance on immigration and his invocation of "Western values” — as driving a surge in interest and recruitment. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/11/world/politics/american-nazis-aryan-freedom-network-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #nazis #wwii #adolfhitler #holocaust #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans #hatespeech #discrimination #aryanfreedomnetwork #daltonhenrystout

"This is conduct... creates horror beyond the ability to imagine, and this allows most Israelis to deny it...

The #Israeli public's silence is a betrayal not only of the entire world of values it claims to hold; it is an absolute betrayal of #Holocaust victims, in whose name we demanded a state for ourselves where we could ensure our existence...

It is a betrayal of the entire long legacy of #Jewish existence as a persecuted minority. It is a betrayal of humanity in general"

#Israel#Gaza

Text from article: This is conduct of incomprehensible cruelty. It creates horror beyond the ability to imagine, and this allows most Israelis to deny it: if it's too terrible to be true - it's probably not true. And so they allow the horror to continue happening. What value does our freedom have if we don't use it to stop dispossession, killing, and starvation? What do we need the rule of law for if not to ensure human dignity? The Israeli public's silence is a betrayal not only of the entire world of values it claims to hold; it is an absolute betrayal of Holocaust victims, in whose name we demanded a state for ourselves where we could ensure our existence. It is a betrayal of the Mintzer family and the millions of other families who were slaughtered and perished throughout Jewish history. It is a betrayal of the entire long legacy of Jewish existence as a persecuted minority. It is a betrayal of humanity in general - and of our collective identity in particular. It is such a monumental betrayal that it's hard to contain.

As #ICE raids continue, let’s remember today is the anniversary (1942) of the Vel d’Hiv mass arrest and deportation action in Paris.

This was the largest “roundup” of Jewish civilians (13,000) in occupied France, and it was carried out by French authorities.

Important episode for anyone concerned w histories of collaboration, facilitation of #genocide, and the administrative contributions to mass atrocity.

Deportees were sent to Auschwitz (via Drancy). #Holocaust

"Unidentified vandals defaced two #Jewish sites in #Dolka, #Poland, over the weekend, spray-painting anti-#Israel slurs and #Nazi #swastikas on the remains of a local #synagogue and a memorial at the Jewish cemetery.

The synagogue, located in southeast Poland, was destroyed by the #Nazis during the #Holocaust, while the cemetery’s memorial, built in recent years by townspeople, symbolizes pre-Holocaust coexistence between Poles and #Jews."

1. I cringe a bit sharing Ynet, but I dont see this anywhere else yet. Important to be aware that it's a right-wing rag if you dont follow Jewish media outlets.
2. This story is why you see some Israel-critical Jews squint at gentile anti-Israel rhetoric and hesitate to take it at face value. Particularly when its presented alongside clearly fucked up stuff.

NEVER AGAIN?

Israel plans to confine Gaza residents in a closed concentration camp atop Rafah ruins, as the genocide continues. Defense Minister Israel Katz is calling it a "humanitarian zone," but it is a de facto concentration camp. Internees will not have freedom of movement or the ability to leave. They will be forced to move there, whether they want to, or not. Living conditions will be deplorable.

As a side note, for anyone unfamiliar with the slogan, “Never Again,” it was chanted by prisoners as they were liberated from Buchenwald at the end of World War II. It was used by Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane in his 1971 book, Never Again! A Program for Survival. It is a slogan often repeated by Jews, though there has been disagreement about whether it applied just to Jews and antisemitism, or whether it was a more universal slogan, meant to oppose all forms of fascism and genocide. The slogan originated from the 1927 poem, Masada, by Yitzhak Lamdan, about the siege of Masada, when the Sicarii (Jewish assassins who target Roman leaders and Jewish collaborators) were captured and chose to commit mass suicide rather than be captured.

“International Business Machines, and its president Thomas J. Watson, committed genocide by any standard. It was never about the antisemitism. It was never about the National Socialism. It was always about the money. Business was their middle name.”
