@EYakoby It is anti-Enlightenment, because it involves a purposeful warping of evidence standards to accommodate accusations against Jews. But it is not third-worldism. The view is increasingly popular among Western elites.

As we’ve been saying, hatred of Israel is just pure third-worldism.

@JewishSpaceLazr The Democrats elect a Nazi to represent them while calling their opponents Nazis. How Orwellian. But it's not about the Democrats. The trend towards a Jew-obsessed politics is present in both political parties. Fueling it is a growing appetite for stories of Jewish villainy.

Democratic friends, all I’m saying is if the GOP had nominated this guy, you’d be feeling pretty smug and self-righteous right now.

@libsoftiktok They elect a Nazi to represent them while they call their opponents Nazis.

Graham Platner just won his primary Democrats voted for a guy who: - had a nazi tattoo - lied repeatedly about his nazi tattoo - said he would rape people - sexted with women while married - bragged about drawing penises in porta potties - praised islamic terrorists - said he’s a communist - joined an app known to be used by predators to contact minors

@EYakoby People believe this. They price evidence by destination. If it moves towards Jewish treachery, they let it in cheaply. If it moves towards Jewish innocence, it's rejected completely. This is important to understand.

When all of their lies are debunked, they resort to complete fantasies. Nobody seriously believes a word that she wrote here.

@SStricklandMMA Let me ask you guys, if I make up a bullshit number and say it was wasted for a bullshit reason, will that rile you up and make you feel righteous anger?

Let me ask you guys 8000 lives lost 3 trillion dollars for zionism.. Tell me what did those lives and treasure buy us? Was it worth it? Are we getting free oil? We need to call this for what it is. A compromised government

Some wars feature unending battles and a constant tempo. Others wars have wars within wars. October 7. The 12 day war.The Houthi campaign, Hezbollah. Operation Epic Fury. And warm periods, and hot periods. And ceasefires, and ceasefires within ceasefires. This is not a clash between two ancient civilizations, it's a clash between The Enlightenment and the forces that wish to suppress it.

The fire continues to be ceased

Sometimes the hate people have for Jews is eclipsed only by the jealousy they have for those who love them. And for those who love those who love them.

@GordonGChang An overwhelming response can be a proportional response. Just a different proportion.

“Proportional responses” just lead to more conflict and killing. Our responses should be overwhelming.

@EliAfriatISR When a state wants surprise, it doesn't signal aggression. It signals restraint.

🚨🇺🇸 US official to CNN: "Our strikes are not expected to harm the negotiations. They are a warning shot". WTF?

@AriFleischer A gallon for an ounce is still a proportional response. The proportion is just different. Predators often advertise safety, not danger. The wolf lowers its head before it lunges. Advertising a weak response sets the stage for a strong one.

As President Trump once said, if you take an ounce of American blood, he will take a gallon of yours. If they shoot down one helicopter, the response should not be “proportional “. It should be so overwhelming that they never shoot at another American helicopter again.

@VividProwess To everything there is a season. A time for shooting and a time for reloading.

Is it just me, or does it feel wrong to be playing defense? The U.S. and Israel were obliterating the Islamic regime with total dominance for nearly 40 days, and now we’re suddenly doing “defensive strikes.” This doesn’t sit right with me.

@CathyYoung63 Bari replaces a broken epistemic system, where the evidence bar is lowered to accept accusations of Jewish treachery, with a classical liberal outlook. She is not perfect, but her epistemic system is intact, which is more than one can say for the people she replaces.

As someone who's defended Bari in the past, I think it's fairly clear at this point that she's acting as a MAGA-lite operative with a Trump-placating agenda. Is there spontaneous left-of-center bias in the media? Sure, but a government-placating bias is far more dangerous.

@zoecabina Banger.

IMO you should treat immigration like sex Do you let just anyone come inside? No!

Met some lovely Christian Lebanese and Iranians last night and we all agreed that Australia is not picky enough when it comes to who we let into our nation Maronite dude with a thick accent (he only came here a few years ago) told me a lot of Muslim Lebanese act like they are very poor here, immediately want to go on welfare etc but if you look at what they've got in Lebanon, they're actually from really wealthy families He's there, dressed impeccably, complaining that his sister who is also very educated, from a well-to-do Lebanese family had her tourist visa denied while he sees, in his words "guys with huge beards, in dirty sandals" getting PR and citizenship approved Maronite friends told me that in Auburn they "laugh at Australia, they laugh at what we are doing"-- they disrespect us because we disrespect ourselves An Australian migration agent there told me Arabs are great clients because one person comes then they want to bring the whole fam and there's always the same first few questions: how do I get public housing, how do I get benefits His words, not mine 🤷‍♀️ It goes without saying what the Iranians think, they are even more anti-Islam than I am

@HenMazzig The problem Antizionists have with Lapid is that he defies their stereotype of Israelis. In with fake stories of Jewish treachery, away with real stories of Jewish compassion. Lapid must not be seen. Away with him! Ban him from the festival!

Nadav Lapid, an Israeli filmmaker, is a staunch critic of Israel's government. As part of a political protest, Nadav moved to France in 2021, and his films often offer a critique of Israeli society. He has spoken up about Gaza many times. He was meant to be a judge for the Marseille Film Festival, but no longer is because Free Palestine activists were leaving the Film Festival simply due to his presence. What exactly does Free Palestine want from Jewish Israelis aside from straight-up dying? Because he's done everything else they claim to want, and they still hate him to the point of a boycott. Some celebrities like Natalie Portman, Justine Triet, and Jacques Audiard have signed an open letter opposing the boycott, but I don't see Free Palestine suddenly becoming reasonable.

@Boris1053860 @AmitSegal The cat purrs before it pounces.

@erwd @AmitSegal His disinformation works for the IRGC’s interests first some reason

Donald Trump has announced that Iran was responsible for shooting down a US helicopter last night, stating that the United States must respond to the attack. ​I'm confused. Just two days ago, Trump demanded that Israel refrain from retaliating against Iran because their attack resulted in zero casualties. Why is there a sudden double standard when it comes to a US response?

@havivrettiggur The point is not to understand the event. The point is to make the USS Liberty event perform a role: prove Israel is uniquely treacherous, prove America is controlled, and turn hostility into vigilance.

Act surprised. Massie knows exactly what he's doing. Everyone pretending that it's something else -- also know what they're doing.

The test is simple: would people explain global harassment of another minority by pointing to one leader from that group? If not, "Netanyahu" is doing scapegoat work. "Netanyahu" is the political alibi for the lowered bar. It lets people say they are criticizing one man while making Jewish guilt cheap, Jewish fear suspicious, and anti-Jewish hostility morally intelligible.

“Netanyahu” today functions as a boogeyman. He is a hated figure on the world stage because he plays the role of the Jewish villain in the antizionist universe, not unlike the role Baron de Rothschild played in the antisemitic universe. He serves as a scapegoat and a figure of blame. References to “Netanyahu” are regularly invoked to justify and avoid discussion of the explosion of antizionist hate that followed October 7. Rather than confronting the ideology itself, attention is displaced onto a single individual, as though the harassment of Jews, the normalization of antizionist hatred, and the global mobilization against Israel can all be explained by one man, which is irrational and nonsensical.

@AdinHaykin1 They don’t follow evidence to Israeli guilt. They use Israeli guilt as the place where evidence is allowed to stop. They begin with the conclusion and then price evidence by destination.

They literally just claim things are Israeli false flags with zero evidence.

@JonahPlatt Visible signs of Jewish innocence are forbidden. Jewish defenses are shouted down for the same reason hostage posters are torn down, rape is denied, and October 7 conspiracy theories thrive.

This is not a debate. It's a shutdown.

@HonestReporting They do not want the USS Liberty investigated because they lack a theory. They want it investigated forever because they have a theory that cannot survive closure. Forever is the only timescale on which the conspiracy cannot lose.

Decades later, the USS Liberty is still fueling conspiracy theories. Here's what really happened:🧵
