Calling Israel a “settler-colonialist” state is not just factually and morally wrong — it’s a complete inversion of reality. Israel is arguably the most successful ANTI-colonial endeavour in history: a people returning to their ancestral homeland after 3,000 years of exile, conquest, and foreign domination by Romans, Arabs, Ottomans, Britons, and other assorted colonizers. quillette.com/2026/05/07/isr…

I’m a little disgusted by the lack of grace some people on our side are showing people like @TuckerCarlson for not only opposing Trump but apologizing for supporting him. They definitely don’t speak for Muslim-Americans, who are grateful for our new allies. The humanity Tucker, @FmrRepMTG, @RepThomasMassie and others have shown as they fought to help children in Gaza, and to stop this war, and stop Israel’s genocide, has been amazing and appreciated. If some pundits on the left demand we condemn people who have shown millions of our fellow Americans on the right that we deserve compassion too, my answer is a firm no. Maybe some elite liberals have enough privilege to have the genocide and the wars on Gaza, Lebanon and Iran as lower priorities for themselves, but we don’t have that luxury. This is a matter of life and death. We don’t have time for partisan games in serious times like this. And as an American, I care deeply about American sovereignty. And if you think Israel hasn’t robbed us of our sovereignty or that it’s not that important, then you’re no ally of mine. In my opinion, these figures on the right have been heroic in their fight against the war. Either do better than them or have the decency not to criticize someone fighting harder than you.
