It's well past time the Dems clean house. We cannot allow ghouls like this to define the party or hold any influence in our media and politics. There must be red lines. #Israel #Lebanon #Democrats

Pete Hegseth repeatedly mocks "rules of engagement." But now that a US pilot is missing and possibly capture, a reminder, rules of engagement don't just protect people we go to war against, they also protect OUR troops.

@JohnCleese Murray is a notorious racist hack. He's not "informed" about anything. You have become a disgrace.

When the BBC interviews someone as well-informed and intelligent as Douglas Murray, they should find someone well-informed and intelligent to do it Not some clown like this He is very stupid But perhaps the BBC hadn't noticed

Many Syrians remember the violent kidnappings of women under the ruthless Assads, but are turning a blind eye to such crimes today even though the extortion and humiliation methods of the past remain the same. Whether perpetrators were/are petty criminals or sectarian thugs, protecting all Syrian women and girls must be a priority and the punishment must fit the crime. Let's see some leadership on this continuing disgrace. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/wor…

@flipforchips @CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang The listserv is opt-in, by the way. I'm certain you've not read the actual reporting on this. Punishing a professor for speech like this violates academic freedom. If Amy Wax gets to be an open neo-Nazi and retain tenure, then this is clearly illegal viewpoint discrimination.

@flipforchips @CASMIIOfficial @mamoun_linda @lhfang That is not a lie. There is not a shred of evidence Iran has pursued nuclear weapons. That aligns with US intelligence. You are simply a bigot.

This is basically a tenured professor forced out of a leadership position at a flagship public university for criticizing Israel. The witch hunt at universities across the country is still going on.

@NewYorkRedPill @ChrisMurphyCT Trump has provided far more cash to the Iranian regime. These far-right scripts are simply lies meant to hide the utter failure of your ideology.

@ChrisMurphyCT So, the lefts position is to bury their heads in the sand, send more pallets of untraceable cash in the dead of night. To a terror state that has been offing Americans for 47 years. Got it.

If you support the troops, advocate for an end to this pointless, bungled war.

@coldxman This lie will not fool anyone outside of your malignant far-right bubble.

But we have de facto given millions in “defensive military aid” to Gaza already. Hamas used it to build the largest ever bomb shelter network, and then didn’t allow civilians to use it during a war. The problem is not our asymmetric sympathies, it’s the psychopathic terror org.

@MercifulMassac1 @PushDemsLeft Outsourcing your brain to AI is disgraceful.

@PushDemsLeft 🤥 Again.

Nope. You're not getting away with these lies anymore. Biden/Harris did not push for a ceasefire, they pushed against one. They lied. They never stopped sending bombs the entire time. Their officials admit this. Israel admits this. No one's falling for the revisionist history!

@MercifulMassac1 @PushDemsLeft That is not a lie, and that halt did not meaningful stop Israeli war crimes the Biden admin continued to violate US law to defend.

@PushDemsLeft You lied. 💣 twitter.com/PopCrave/statu…

A major part of the reason that the U.S. is unable to find a negotiated off-ramp now that it wants one is that it repeatedly killed Iranian negotiators during talks and made it appear that no good faith negotiation was actually possible. The Israeli Lobby solution is just more mafia tactics and killing while further damaging the ability to engage in mediation down the line for obvious reasons.

@solace_eternal @academic_la Your AI model is getting dumber by the moment. It doesn't understand my point or positions and you're clearly using leading prompts to make it confirm your ego. Continue this an I will simply block you.

@solace_eternal @academic_la More AI slop. I'm reporting you for spam.

Here is why the Passover story of Egyptian Exodus is completely made up. Not only is there no evidence for it, but it is chronologically impossible. Not on the scale mentioned in the bible or on any scale at all: 1) Decades of intensive archaeological surveys in the Sinai Peninsula have failed to uncover any remains, such as pottery, encampments, or human waste, that would indicate a population of over two million people spent 40 years wandering the desert. Not one piece of pottery, one hearth, or one Hebrew inscription from that era has been found in the Sinai. 2) Ancient Egypt was a highly literate society with meticulous administrative records. Despite this, no Egyptian text from the Bronze Age mentions a mass slave revolt, the devastating plagues, or the loss of an entire army in the sea. 3) Modern archaeology suggests that the ancient Israelites were actually indigenous to Canaan. They appear to have emerged from local Canaanite populations during the Bronze Age collapse, rather than arriving as a conquering force from outside. 4) The biblical figure of 603,550 men (totaling roughly 2.5 million people including families) is logistically impossible for the time. A line of that many people, walking eight abreast, would have been hundreds of miles long, meaning the front would reach the destination while the back was still in Egypt. 5) The Book of Exodus mentions places like the city of Rameses and the land of Goshen, as well as the use of camels, which were not in existence or common at the time the events were supposed to have occurred. This suggests the story was written centuries later. Archaeology shows that at the time the conquest was supposed to happen, Jericho had no walls and was either a tiny village or completely uninhabited. 6) If 2.5 million people entered a land from Egypt, you would expect to see a sudden, massive shift in technology, diet, or burial customs. Instead, we see a slow, internal evolution. The people who became "Israelites" were likely local Canaanite farmers and nomadic herders who moved into the highlands to escape the collapse of the coastal city-states. 7) The Exodus is said to have took place well before there is evidence of Israelites existing. The bible has it at 1446 BCE. The first mention of Israelites is in 1208 by the Pharaoh Merneptah. He mentions them as a foreign people with no ties to Egypt. 8) The biggest hole in the story is that during the 13th century BCE (the time of Ramesses II), Canaan was an Egyptian province. Egypt had forts, tax collectors, and governors all over the "Promised Land."If the Israelites fled Egypt to go to Canaan, they were essentially "fleeing Egypt to go to Egypt." 9) The story appears to have been made up during the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE. They needed a story to give them hope: a story where their God defeats a superpower Egypt) and leads them back to their homeland. By creating a shared "escape" story, they turned a collection of local Canaanite tribes into a single, unified nation. So this is a beautiful story, but a complete myth. Its greatest value is that it has inspired many to pursue freedom, most famously African Americans who identified deeply with the story.

@maribooboo7 @Timodc You, and all the other allegedly "center-left" critics of him, seem to have no issue with retweeting and promoting overtly bigoted "pro-Israel" extremists. Why the hypocrisy?

@Timodc bro a lot of us center left people hate him what are you talking about lmao

I'm devastated to report that lots of Trump & Bibi supporters believe that I have betrayed my principles for arguing that Dems should be reaching out to the anti-war left and not shunning them in this moment. I will look inside & reflect. I must admit that on the surface this seems like a convenient thing to be mad about to avoid reckoning with the historic disaster that is Trump & Bibi's Iran war and the coming wreckage for the global economy and the GOP that is going to result.

I have no truck with Piker. I don't do podcasts. But I'm sick of the hypocrisy of the loudest faux-liberal voices against him. You cannot condemn him while following a dozen rabid "pro-#Israel" extremists, including Nazi-Kahanists.

His response to my calling out this delusion is proof of my point. The AI misread my claims, misread the source I cited, and created a strawman that just so happens to fit what the prompter believes.

This AI slop is a perfect example of how these worthless systems will happily lie to you to promote your ego, taking your misconceptions and falsely claiming they are fact. Never trust ANY AI model on history. Errors are more common than accuracy. It will hallucinate bullshit.

@solace_eternal @academic_la It is Finkelstein's own work that shows the earliest proto-Hebrew settlements are laid out like desert-style nomadic camps. His own site drawings!

@solace_eternal @academic_la Your AI is illiterate. I never said anything about an invasion. The highlands were largely unpopulated circa 1200 BCE. The nomadic herders settled their peacefully. You don't understand ethnogenesis. Stop spamming AI slop at me.

@pkosen @Timodc You follow some of the most vile and deranged "pro-Israel" extremists on this site. People who openly glorify violence and war crimes. You are not a "normie". You are as bad or worse than Piker.

@pkosen @Timodc Your so-called "Normie Dems" seem perfectly fine with quite a few other kinds of bigotry. Why is Piker special?

@neoliberal_hack @Timodc @dodgersjordan Your rhetoric completely discredits you. You sound deranged. I suppose your username is correct. You don't even hide your toxic illiberal tendencies and bigotry.

@Timodc @dodgersjordan engaging with critics of Israel is fine. Engaging with Hasan is fine! But it should be in the context of "here is where we have overlap, and here are the areas where Hasan is an anti American communist scumbag who idolizes dictators the world over."
