Deconstructing an Israel-Hating Tweet

Brian of London here with something I thought would be highly appropriate for Israellycool readers. I decided to deconstruct one of the typical anti-Israel (and anti-Jewish) tweets I received when I post about Israel. In this case, the tweet I got was in response to posting about the huge number of rocket alarms I was receiving on my phone during last rocket barrage we came under from Gaza.

Here’s the tweet and response that really kicked off this video. You can see my video on the new video sharing site 3speak and I’d encourage you to take a look at it. I would love to see some Israellycool readers leaving comments on the video there too.

I guess if you didn’t push people off their land, out of their houses, bulldoze their houses for “settlements”, keep them behind walls with little access to food and water, embargo so no aid comes by sea and constantly kill them you wouldn’t have to worry about attacks.

Religion isn’t a property owner. Throughout the years people will convert to the religion that they believe the most in. Same people, same land. There were no white Jews in Palestine, they were brown. European Jews stole their land. Zionism is the plague, not Islam.
