@Brad_Reynoldss @ilangoldenberg remember "gas the jews" on oct 8 in australia?

After October 7, there was overwhelming sympathy for Israel in the United States. Ugh, no. People were ripping down hostage posters in days. They were crying genocide the very next day. If you can’t see the immense propaganda campaign that has been running in US colleges for decades I don’t think anyone can help

Social media has accelerated the trend, but let’s be clear: the collapse of Israel’s standing in the United States didn’t just “happen” to Israel. It was the direct result of a series of catastrophic political decisions by Benjamin Netanyahu over the past decade. 1. Netanyahu chose to drag Israel directly into partisan American politics. Opposing the JCPOA was not itself unique. The Gulf states also disagreed with the deal. But Netanyahu went far beyond policy disagreement. He organized a speech before Congress behind the back of the sitting American president in order to directly confront Barack Obama and align Israel with one side of America’s political divide. That moment, ten years ago, was the beginning of the end of bipartisan consensus around the US-Israel relationship. It planted the seeds for Israel becoming a partisan issue in American politics. 2. Netanyahu chose to empower extremists like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich in order to maintain power. He helped engineer alliances with them, brought them into the center of Israeli politics, and handed them real authority over national security and settlement policy. The images Americans now see almost daily on social media — violent settler attacks in the West Bank, Ben-Gvir celebrating with a noose cake, a Palestinian journalist emerging from prison emaciated and abused under systems overseen by Ben Gvir’s ministry and being interviewed on CNN. All of that has done enormous damage to Israel’s image. Those outcomes were not inevitable. They were the direct consequence of Netanyahu’s political choices. 3. Netanyahu chose to prolong and prosecute the Gaza war in a way that maximized devastation. After October 7, there was overwhelming sympathy for Israel in the United States. Americans broadly agreed Israel had the right to respond to Hamas’ atrocities. But the war did not need to continue for so long, nor did it need to be prosecuted this way. A year before it ended, most Israelis were prepared to support ending the war in exchange for the hostages. Netanyahu repeatedly extended it because ending the war threatened his coalition and his political survival. At the same time, he refused to seriously empower or work with alternative Palestinian leadership that could replace Hamas. So Israel fought a devastating war while ensuring Hamas would still remain part of Gaza’s future afterward. The images coming out of Gaza more than anything else have transformed global and American opinion. Had the war ended earlier after Israel had achieved what military objectives it realistically could, Israel would not be facing anything close to this level of backlash today. 4. Netanyahu played a major role in pushing the United States toward war with Iran. That war is deeply unpopular in the United States. It directly cuts against what Donald Trump promised much of his own political base, namely, avoiding getting bogged down in another Middle East war with no clear strategic rationale and no plan for how to win. It has dramatically driven up oil prices, and will have long term direct economic impacts that Americans will feel every day. And now, just as the JCPOA fight a decade ago began the fracturing of Democrats on Israel, this Iran war is beginning to fracturing of conservatives. It will take time but you already see it.  So no — this is not fundamentally about social media. It is not simply a mysterious surge of antisemitism, a lack of hasbara, or genius social media of Iran and Qatar. And it is not primarily the result of advocacy groups or messaging campaigns. At its core, what we are witnessing is the cumulative consequence of a series of disastrous decisions by Benjamin Netanyahu — decisions that have been bad for Israelis, bad for Palestinians, bad for the United States, and bad for the broader Middle East.

@megbasham Dilbert's reply: I work too hard...

I think interviewers appreciate honesty rather than pat answers. Once when interviewing for the chief meteorologist job here in Charlotte, they asked my husband what his biggest weakness was. He said cheeseburgers. He got the job.

@MatthewLauseng @IngrahamAngle in these magical "dark" factories NO LEARNING takes place.

@IngrahamAngle Based on the comments, the toothless hillbilly Trump supporters don’t understand China operates fully automated dark factories. They’re dark to save energy and don’t require light because there are no humans. There will never be another manufacturing revolution with humans.

!! “Mr. Trump and Xi Jinping are reportedly considering a deal to allow China to invest $1 trillion in the U.S. largely to build factories on American soil.” Trump on verge of making massive error — against aides' advice: report rawstory.com/trump-trade-de…

@roddreher where's his block of ice?

The regime represented at the Vatican by Ayatollah Mokhtari murdered up to 30,000 of its own people demonstrating against it in January. Too bad none of them are around to receive papal honors for their extraordinary contributions. time.com/7357635/more-t…

@Crazymoments01 don't go...

"This was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana. The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer. He's 41 years old. Fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The dog is Bruno. A ten-year-old German Shepherd who served eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint condition ended his working career two years ago. When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately. Brought him home. Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck. The transition from working partner to household companion was seamless. Bruno had always been Paul's dog. The badge and the vest were just part of the job. Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had declined steadily. The joint condition spread. He had difficulty getting up. Stopped eating regularly. Paul had been managing Bruno's comfort with guidance from Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months. Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up entirely. Paul called Dr. Reese that night. Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside. He carried Bruno in from the truck himself. Wouldn't let the techs take him. Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him. She filmed quietly on her phone from the corner of the room. She told us afterward that she asked Paul's permission before she started recording. He nodded. Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno cradled across his lap and chest. Bruno's head rested against Paul's shoulder. His eyes were half-open. His breathing was slow and easy. Paul bowed his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur. Bruno lay still for a long moment. Then slowly — carefully — he raised both front paws. One at a time. And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders. And held on. Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget. Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby preparing, went completely still. Her assistant took a step back. Nobody moved. Dana told us: 'Bruno could barely lift his head that morning. But he lifted his paws and he held Paul. In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him. I think he was saying thank you. I think he was saying goodb"

@megbasham Rush was Right

New “it’s not the nature of the evidence it’s the seriousness of the charge” just dropped.

@SoquelCreek @TheDemocrats @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom give parents TAX BREAKS so they can by their own diapers. PLEASE not another useless state bureaucracy

@TheDemocrats Hilarious. California taxpayers will be paying a non-profit for the diapers, at great cost. Naturally, the person in charge of the non-profit sits on the board of @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom's wife's "charity." It's the usual California corruption dressed up as "charity."

This is what being pro-life *actually* looks like:

@LauraLoomer don't forget Sandy Koufax

 Jewish hockey star and ATHLETE Jack Hughes won a gold medal for Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, scoring the game-winning overtime goal against Canada on February 22, 2026. Your daily reminder that Jew haters are the dumbest people on planet Earth.

@lady_valor_07 is there a dog in the room?

Who?

@EretzIsrael SideEyeCity

What are the odds that Miss Israel 2025, Melanie Shiraz, randomly ends up sitting next to Rama Duwaji, the Israel-hating wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, in a Brooklyn café? She was ready for the selfie until Shiraz introduced herself as Israeli. Then her face changed. And that one caught expression says more than any carefully polished public statement ever could. 📷 Melanie Shiraz, IG

@DavidAsmanfox @EYakoby About 30% of NYC Jews voted for Mamdani. WTH???!!!!

@EYakoby “Jews for Zohran”: Any regrets?

BREAKING: Mass arrests happening in NYC after Islamists showed up outside of a synagogue and began attack New York Jews and the NYPD. Unfortunately, Zohran Mamdani and the DA will let them walk free.

@IAPolls2022 A democrat will almost CERTAINLY win the gov race. I live in CA. 60% of voters are Virtue-Signaling Leftists. They DO NOT CARE about Gas Prices, hordes of homeless, crushing taxes, suffocating regulations, crumbling infrastructure. Their TOP PRIORITY is to feel MORALLY SUPERIOR.

Everyone in California has been complaining for years about their state. How expensive it’s gotten, the gas tax, the endless amount of fraud and crime being swept under the rug, yet they still think voting for a Democrat will fix years of Democrat-caused problems? Especially one that was an Attorney General who ALLOWED it to happen? Make it make sense.

@CobyJMarcum @IAPolls2022 steyer would be even WORSE

@IAPolls2022 Please not Becerra. I feel like he would be a do nothing, maintain the status quo Governor who wastes the position and wastes Californian’s extremely valuable time while we slowly continue to descend into bankruptcy.

@Liz_Wheeler she says the F-word (about almost everything)

Megyn Kelly says WHAT about Islam in America?! open.spotify.com/episode/1gPvi5…

@Liz_Wheeler In LA city Kamala beat DTJ 70-26. Seems that Pratt will be a VERY long shot for mayor.

Spencer Pratt is legitimately hilarious and politically talented. And smart. He’s not just a token alternative to Karen Bass (which is what I assumed when he first announced his candidacy). Happy to be wrong about that. I’d bet a lotttt of money that Los Angeles will be totally transformed under Mayor Pratt. Safe. Clean. Law abiding. Financially effective.

@1Nicdar ding dongs were very tasty; something like Hostess CupCakes covered in waxy chocolate

You must be at least 50 years old and probably older if you remember these. 😋

@marcportermagee is this BAD somehow? Maybe NO spots opened up for WaitListers.

“The University of California, Berkeley had almost 6,500 students on its wait list last year. It ended up admitting none of them.”
