Dr. Subhi Ghosheh's memoir isn't anti-Semitic, but it is firmly anti-Zionist. His story of exile reflects the anger and displacement felt by many Palestinians since 1967. #AntiZionism #PalestinianExile #JerusalemDay

In Amman, a Jerusalem Day Society celebrates Saladin's conquest of the city in 1187. It's a stark reminder that different histories of Jerusalem are still at war. #JerusalemDay #Saladin #MiddleEastHistory

A Palestinian doctor exiled to Jordan founded a Jerusalem Day Society—but they celebrate on October 2, marking Saladin's victory in 1187. Who controls the narrative? #JerusalemDay #PalestinianHistory #Saladin

The accusation that Palestinian Arabs were responsible for the Holocaust is a dark and dishonest twist in the narrative. Hate speech, whether anti-Semitic or anti-Zionist, thrives on intellectual dishonesty. It's not just offensive—it's dangerous. #HateSpeech

Intellectual dishonesty in politics comes at a high cost. Naz Shah's 'relocate Israel to the U.S.' remark and Ken Livingstone's absurd 'Hitler was a Zionist' claim highlight how easily facts get twisted, fueling division and hate. We need honest discourse. #MiddleEastConflict
