@CMarieMartinez @Martinblowhard1 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios Unless of course certain terrorist groups from the Middle East are killing normal Americans and have been for 47 years. You're point is idiotic. Normal Americans don't want their money going to Somali fraud either. I'd rather send my money to Isreal then on US welfare programs.

@smithb019 @Martinblowhard1 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios Normal Americans don't want to spend money on the Middle East

Bibi torched U.S. support for Israel for a generation. Older Republicans and white Evangelicals are the last groups to hold majority favorable views of Israel, according to recent Pew polling, @AndrewSolender and Justin Green write for @axios axios.com/2026/04/18/isr…

@DM11428 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios Americans who blindly follow Isreal... I was all for a two-state solution until 10/07. It turns out, the Hamas Palestinians don't want a two-state solution. I'm not pro-Isreal, I'm just anti-Hamas, Hezbollah and IRGC. I'd call it shared interests.

@smithb019 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios My full thoughts on the subject. Respectful engagement is welcome, further slurs will be blocked.

@DM11428 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios American allegiance to GB during WW2? Absurd! The antiwar movement in the US was the dominant force until Pearl Harbor. Even then, Americans ONLY wanted to fight Japan. When Hitler declared war and bombed US merchant shipping did sentiments change towards war with Germany.

@DM11428 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios I never made a claim about your heritage nor ethnicity. Not sure why you felt compelled to point it out. It doesn't matter. This idea of America blindly bowing to Bibi or the Isreali right-wing is pure white nationalist fantasy all over their websites. Strange bedfellows, I guess

@smithb019 @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios Nope. I’m a 100% pro-Israel Jewish American. I just see things differently than you do. No need to resort to insults. But you proved my point: any difference is an excuse to slander.

@TWTThisIsNow @cunninghamjeff @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios You have to ask yourself why, under no circumstances, all other Arab countries refuse to take in their fellow Arab brothers and sisters (Palestinians) or even send them aid. Telling, isn't it?

@cunninghamjeff @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios I agree that Bibi shouldn't get as much "credit" for Israel's plummeting American support: he's just the tip of the Likud Party anti-peace iceberg, which has rejection of a 2 state solution in its founding charter. Also Criticism of Israel ≠ Antisemitism #TheBoyWhoCriedWolf

@DM11428 @cunninghamjeff @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios Oh, just had to sneak in the white nationalist propaganda bullshit, huh? Well that's revealing.

@cunninghamjeff @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios 2/Further, Bibi demands not just alliance but worship. Americans are fatigued with having to swear allegiance to a foreign county.

@Martinblowhard1 @cunninghamjeff @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios No "normal American" has an unfavorable veiw of Isreal. Only Progressive Marxists, Woke right wing Groypers, and people too lazy to pick up a history book. What fantasyland are you living in?

@cunninghamjeff @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios Self-righteousness? This statement is the embodiment of the unfavorable views normal Americans have of Israel.

@OrlandoTaxus @SuziBKota @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios And yet Professor Bartov can't seem to explain, if Isreal is committing genocide against the Palestinians, why haven't they started with the 2 million Palestinians living happily in Isreal? He's yet another grifter in an ever expanding pool of grifters.

@SuziBKota @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios You should learn something about being human

@PipandTweet @SuziBKota @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios How do you "get along with neighbors" who want to kill you?

@SuziBKota @BarakRavid @AndrewSolender @axios If the promise of the Israeli state is a crooked leader and years of genocide; you can have it. Israelis are not the chosen people; they are just people who need to learn to get along with their neighbors. Without US bombs they’d be a speck of history.

@darcwood7 @BarakRavid @AraquelBloss @AndrewSolender @axios You're being lied to. Stop being lazy, crack open a history book and get the truth. The Jews (Isrealites) were on that land WAY before the Palestinians.

@BarakRavid @AraquelBloss @AndrewSolender @axios Torched it forever, by showing the world who and what it always has been: A genocidal, apartheid ethnostate, built on the bones of the mass murder and ethnic cleansing of the original landowners—the people of Palestine, only 3 years after the liberation of the german death camps.

@BloombergTV Yeah, as if the government knows how to spend that money better than Elon or Bezos would.

On this episode of Wall Street Week, Yale Law Professor Natasha Sarin argues that gaps in the tax system, including the treatment of capital gains and inherited wealth, allow significant income to go untaxed, limiting federal revenue at a time of rising deficits bloom.bg/4eduICL

@Aslimoz071 @BarakRavid @axios But it's OK for the Iranians to do the same thing?

@BarakRavid @axios Kovboy, hırsız, barbar, kabadayı, sahtekar ve şimdi korsan… hepsi birden Trump

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷🚢President Trump announced the U.S. is imposing a naval blockade on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, several hours after peace talks in Pakistan ended in failure. My report on @axios axios.com/2026/04/12/tru…

@JVRdeD @BarakRavid @axios Because it completely cuts the Iranians off from income and materials. No more arms shipments from China and no more selling oil.

@red_loeb @BarakRavid @axios Oh the Houthis, yeah, they're so adorable, ha ha ha. As if they're even relevant. Ha ha ha. That's funny.

@JenniferJJacobs They're also giving a middle finger to the Iranian regime.

CENTCOM says it's starting work to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz

@BloombergTV And Democrats, like Rep Wasserman Schultz, own the state of our expensive healthcare system with the unaffordable ObamaCare premiums. But the insurance companies just love it.

President Trump "owns" the increase in gas prices and the chaos in the Middle East says Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz bloom.bg/4c5Yjwg

@JonathanTurley Well, that’s rich. Coming from the mouth of an out-of-touch elitist.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor used an appearance this week to suggest that Justice Brett Kavanaugh is an out-of-touch elitist. The comments were a disturbing departure from the tradition of collegiality and civility on the court. It was unfair and unwarranted...jonathanturley.org/2026/04/10/con…

@MarkHalperin @elizabethpipko @RichGoodstein Although I agree with Mr. Goodstein's take on Trump's mistreatment of NATO allies (Trump is at the Find Out part of his effing around) he mostly just sat there and spouted Democratic talking points about the war. If I want to hear that I'll just watch MSNow. Disappointing.

Not everyone agrees—@elizabethpipko & @RichGoodstein made a real effort to bridge the divide, but deep fissures remain across America’s political spectrum. On “2WAY Tonight,” we unpacked the high-stakes U.S.–Iran negotiations unfolding this weekend in Islamabad—talks that could reshape the region or unravel just as quickly—as well as the early maneuvering among 2028 Democratic hopefuls.

@mariempalmer @BarakRavid I know it's very difficult but try not to reply to rage baiters with the blue checkmark. They get paid for every reply, hence the rage baiting.

@BarakRavid Israel has never aided by ceasefire in its entire bloody existence.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷Israel has agreed to the ceasefire and will also suspend its strikes on Iran for two weeks, White House official said. The White House official said ceasefire will come into force when Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz

@mahlia_lone @NiallStanage Iran denies a lot of things. So?

@NiallStanage Iran denies it and said Israel did it.

The damage done to the U.S. embassy in Riyadh by an Iranian drone strike was far worse than publicly admitted, according to a new Wall Street Journal story. This quote from a former CIA guy got my attention:
