@EthanLevins2 Well, they did end the Gaza war and get the last remaining hostages released.

Have Witkoff or Kusher successfully struck ANY deal? Why do we continue to send these idiots to blow up peace deals? I’m baffled at this.

@HadiNasrallah But the PLO did.

The Israeli siege of Beirut, 1982. Hezbollah didn’t exist back then.

@MiguelAlbion @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo Ridiculous. First off, the term "semitic DNA" has no meaning. If you're asking what percentage of Israelis have no shared DNA with the ancient Levantine population, it's close to zero. For Ashkenazis, the gene mix is 50-70% Levantine, 30-50% European, due to intermarriage.

@DemInNameOnly @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo Over 80% of 'israeli' have no semitic DNA at all. So cry harder, but don't try and convince me. No one is saying that the Jewish faith hasn't been practiced in the area for some thousands of years. But you Europeans aren't it.

“He opposes any two-state solution that seeks to preserve a Jewish majority in Israel.” We must stop acting like this is some neutral or reasonable position. Advocating for the removal of Jewish self-governance is advocating for, at best, the subjugation of Jews as a minority in yet another Arab state, and at worst, our total destruction.

@allenanalysis And why is it a bad thing for Israel to have direct talks with Lebanon about Lebanon fulfilling its established obligation to disarm Hezbollah and remove their presence south of the Litani River?

🚨JUST IN: Netanyahu just announced he’s opening direct talks with Lebanon — on his own — to disarm Hezbollah. No coordination with Washington. No congressional authorization. No mention of the US-Iran ceasefire that was supposed to cover Lebanon but apparently doesn’t.

@ori_goldberg Prior to 1948, in which Muslim majority Arab country did the Jews not have the legal status of dhimmi? In which modern day Arab country do the Jews who remain enjoy equal rights?

Racist and cowardly. The assumption that Arabs want only to subjugate or kill Jews is not based in any kind of history. It is based on Israeli solipsism alone. So racist, cowardly and ignorant.

@DylanRatigan That's about as likely to happen as your kids telling you they want you to cut off their trust funds.

You know the moment is coming when Europe is going to insist that the American NATO bases leave — and the Americans will freak out and demand they must keep their troops in Europe to protect everyone.

@IhabHassane Because countries get to make their own immigration rules. Btw, there would have been no Palestinian refugees if the local Arabs had not started massacring Jews the day after the UN Partition Plan was announced in Nov 1947 & if the Arab neighbors had not attacked Israel in 1948.

Why does every Jew in the world have the right to immigrate to Israel, but Palestinians whose families were ethnically cleansed from it in 1948 do not?

@MiguelAlbion @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo No, you are in denial about the genetic studies that debunked the Khazar theories & other such nonsense about European Jews being the product of mass conversion of gentiles to Judaism. Ashkenazis share the DNA of their exiled ancient ancestors from Judea. nature.com/articles/natur…

@DemInNameOnly @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo Not even close. You have overlooked, or are in denial about, the Europeans that converted. Their descendants, the askenaz, moved to Palestine, many as zionists, and terrorists.

@Romnaes160999 @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo Of course European Ashkenazi Jews are not Arabs. They are descendants of the indigenous population of ancient Judea who were not Arabs. The Arabization of those whom we now call Palestinians did not begin until the Arab migration during the Muslim conquests in the 7th century.

@Romnaes160999 @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo Your theory has been debunked by genetic studies that show the direct lineage of European Jews to the Levant. Yes, in the diaspora there were some Europeans who converted-primarily women when they married Jewish men-but the DNA link to the Levant is clear. nature.com/articles/natur…

@theGrypo @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt Lol. Anything you say.

@DemInNameOnly @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt There’s no need to answer your bullshit question, on account of it being a bullshit question.

@theGrypo @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt Yet you can't answer a simple question.

@DemInNameOnly @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt You’ve been guzzling hasbara.

@theGrypo @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt Please tell me where in the Muslim world, particularly prior to the founding of Israel, Jews were not regarded as dhimmi in the eyes of the Koran or Islamic law?

@DemInNameOnly @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt Ahistorical bullshit.

@theGrypo @flobtheblob @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt We're all cousins from an Abrahamic origin. The problem is that Islamists believe that only Muslims can have self-determination on the land. The problem with a majority Muslim country is that there isn't one in history in which Jews weren't treated as dhimmi, 2nd class citizens.

@flobtheblob @DemInNameOnly @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt Kinda lays to rest the idea that these are all different peoples.

@HowardAulsbrook @barbiebrox @RodDMartin You seem happy about that idea you have.

@barbiebrox @DemInNameOnly @RodDMartin Despite Trump's weak efforts to distort the truth, the US Navy stays far away, over 1000 kilometers away, and Iran still controls access to the Strait of Hormuz. This conflict will only be resolved on Iran's terms.

My friend Craig Bergman offers a brilliant take: Unless you live under a rock or are intentionally obtuse, let me explain things. There is no cease-fire. The reason there is no cease-fire is Iran no longer has a functioning government. Trump negotiated with one of the larger factions. There are 24 factions Not all of them want peace. Not all of them will even negotiate. So what is Trump doing? It should be completely obvious to anyone who is not intentionally not wanting to understand. He is pitting the factions against each other with competing interests for money and power and safety. And when one of them betrays the other, they will take care of the bad one. If they don’t, then Trump will randomly target them again and blame them all as if they are one government. That will frustrate them greatly, causing them again to turn on each other because there is no longer any single central authority. This is absolutely brilliant, but if you think it’s gonna mean peace, if you think the Strait is really going to be open, and if you think Iran has surrendered and decided to play nice, you are delusional. If you think Trump wants to murder 90 million people you are beneath delusional: you are intentional. So chill out and watch the show: it is a master class. And yes, I’m not predicting it. I am telling you what is happening. This is not a guess. This is not an informed opinion. I am speaking fact. Watch it happen.

@theGrypo @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt Palestinian Christians are descendants of the ancient Jews, Samaritans, & Canaanites. Palestinian Muslims descended from that population mixed w/ Arab migrants during & following the Muslim conquests. My point is that European Jews descended from the indigenous Judean population.

@DemInNameOnly @chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt So explain to me who the Palestinian Christians are descendants of then, you dingus.

@chicanoprofe @JonahPlatt @theGrypo European Jews are descendents of the Jews who were exiled from Judea in 70 AD. Palestinians are descendents of Arabs who colonized the land 600 years later.

@JonahPlatt @theGrypo You’re so silly. It’s like white people in the US trying to claim their great grandmother is Native American based on family wives tales meanwhile it’s painfully obvious the majority of your ancestry is European

@HowardAulsbrook @barbiebrox @RodDMartin So it was okay to divide the land to create states in formerly Ottoman Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, but not in Mandatory Palestine?

@DemInNameOnly @barbiebrox @RodDMartin No one needed to go anywhere. The problem was created by dividing the land. It was a manufactured problem.

@HowardAulsbrook @barbiebrox @RodDMartin There were 600,000 of them. Not that small. About 1/3 of the population of Mandatory Palestine. And as I said, they were the majority in Jerusalem. Where did you want them to go?

@DemInNameOnly @barbiebrox @RodDMartin Jews only comprised a small percentage.

@HowardAulsbrook @barbiebrox @RodDMartin I was referring to your premise about the UN giving away Arab land. Fact is, it was both Arab & Jewish land. Jerusalem was a majority Jewish city, but when the UN excluded it from what was to be the Jewish state, the Jews didn't use it as a reason to start massacring local Arabs.

@DemInNameOnly @barbiebrox @RodDMartin I don't have a premise. I am only going by what each side claims. Iran's stance has never changed. All hostilities end, or there is no peace.
