@mattyglesias There weee massive anti-Israel rallies literally the day after October 7th, weeks before Israel’s ground campaign in Gaza.. the fact that “global perceptions” were cheering for Hamas-perpetrated genocidal massacre says everything you need to know about cause/effect
English
The belief that global perceptions of Israel are totally unrelated to Israeli conduct is extremely widespread, both in Israel and in American pro-Israel circles.
It's also wildly implausible and helps explain a lot about both Israeli behavior and Israel's cratering reputation.

There was little, if anything, Israel could have done to resist the leftist, identitarian turn. Once you view the Jewish state as an outpost of settler-colonial white supremacist villainy, it really doesn’t matter whether it’s good at politics or diplomacy.

Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
This whole thread is true-ish but also ignores the extent to which political support for Israel has collapsed among Democrats because Israel hasn’t had a government that’s been interested in trying to cultivate support among Democrats. Things might change.

No, because we don't need any opinion writers, they're a relic of a time when the half-formed opinions of excitable dilettantes wasn't the air we breathe.
Sohrab Ahmari@SohrabAhmari
Do we need Jonathan Chait as a writer? At what point does it become incumbent on us to admit that he’s describing — and offering prescriptions for — a world that simply doesn’t exist. It’s like if I, as a writer for car fans, devoted myself to the horse as a means of transport.

The genesis of this tweet was seeing my dad pull up a bulwork podcast on youtube and thinking "are the never trump republicans REALLY turning to The Room now for victory inspiration?

@agraybee tbh it's 2026, *this* specific accusation was in the cards list or not

I see that in absence of the mythical Epstein List we've decided to make one up.

89.5% of the Epstein list is Jewish and 0% of his female victims were Jewish…

@shift_in2_turbo liz cheney is a normal human adult, sorry she reminds you of your mom, and hasan is a rambly streamer

Democrats would rather be in a big tent with Liz Cheney than Hasan Piker, and then they wonder why keep losing elections.

@Penguin57a @moseshessstan I am assuring you I am holding space and giving room for you to be a dipshit

Who's gonna tell them that it's not just older jews?
BeshearStan@BeshearStan
Trading older jews who support a genocide with the Dem base turning out sounds like a solid trade to me

the gaul of "Red Line" @brhodes complaining about anyone being a Chickenshit is fucking astonishing
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline
"Biden was a chickenshit, and was afraid to go back to the Obama policy because he was afraid of Bob Menendez." @brhodes explains the Obama administration's rationale in opening travel and trade with Cuba, and how the subsequent rollback helped fuel a humanitarian catastrophe.

@BulwarkOnline @brhodes yes, Red Line Ben has thoughts on other peoples' chicken shittery

The prospects for a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah may be dim, but this week's direct talks have broken a long-standing taboo, write @faysalitani and @DaniaArayssi for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/in-a…

If Putin ends up firing Nabiullina it would be a great thing. She has been doing her very best to hold the Russian economy together. Forcing her out would be ideal.
Mike Eckel@Mike_Eckel
Russian Central Bank chair Elvira Nabiullina gave a bit of a response a day after being dinged by Putin. She criticized those who blamed the bank's tight monetary policy and said "for the first time in modern history, our economy is colliding with labor shortages, restrictions."

I think the funny part too is, I’ve spoken with a few ex Brit infantry that used it and all of them hated it. Particularly the plastic components just outright breaking, or the mag dropping mid shot.
