@persianjewess I dispute the suggestion that Netanyahu represents the Jewish people.

SNL is now jumping on the “Jews Control the World” antisemitic trope.
Even the audience barely laughed.
And no, having Michael Che deliver the punchline didn’t make it any less racist.

@threeccc337787 People aren’t retards if they see a man and think it’s very strange that he has a woman’s name.

@Rando8715401 maybe by retarded trump cultist, not the type of voters in his state

He’s already flip-flopped on like five other issues so wonder why he’s not flip-flopping on this one

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) stands by comment he made about trans athletes saying he doesn’t “want his girls getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.” Moulton: “Of course I stand by it. I mean, we have to take on tough issues. I know it did hurt some people and I feel bad about that.” Moulton is challenging Senator Ed Markey for the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts.

@itsjvstjade @AnthonyMEmerson That seems counterproductive.
English
@Rando8715401 @AnthonyMEmerson I really would rather die than cede anything to the right.
English
@megamanx3sux @AnthonyMEmerson You’re losing rights because you refuse to compromise and acknowledge there are situations where biological sex matters.
English
@AnthonyMEmerson It just makes me so sad when trans rights are getting so so so attacked, not even rolled back, we are actively losing rights, and in states like Kansas and Idaho, trans people basically can't even live there anymore, and democrats waste time on this shit! I fucking hate it!!!!!

@hopecorefan @AnthonyMEmerson Am I wrong that the vast majority of voters look at a person who looks like this and is confused by the name Beth?
English
@hopecorefan @AnthonyMEmerson This is not what a Beth looks like. You alienate normal voters with this insanity.
English
@AnthonyMEmerson Would be beautiful if he flopped staewide and a trans person replaced him in congress…
Like Beth Andres-Beck..

@KathrynPaisner @jessesingal people are the reason why that alliance appears to be crumbling. This is why I care more about the likes of Itamar Ben-Gvir than a mural in Oakland.
English
@KathrynPaisner @jessesingal That faction is the reason the settlements continue to expand in the West Bank and why we continue to see outbreaks of settler violence. The faction that Itamar Ben-Gvir represents is not marginal anymore. I want Israel to have the support of the United States, but these

@jessesingal What exactly is "crazy" about Israel's current govt? Is it the defending themselves from terrorists part? I don't like certain members or the leadership, but it's far from "crazy". Most rational govt in the West, in fact. Stands up for its people against murderers.
English
@KathrynPaisner @jessesingal That’s of course terrible. But it’s at one public school in a left-wing city. The government of the nation of Israel has been hijacked by far-right loons like Ben-Gvir.
English
@Rando8715401 @jessesingal Let me repeat this, in case it isn't clear: a public school in my district has a mural of an antisemitic terrorist who became (in)famous for hijacking American airplanes. People who rend their garments over Ben Gvir just shrug at this, and it really pisses me off.
English
@KathrynPaisner @jessesingal Jesse Singal’s Jewish, I’m Jewish, you’re Jewish. I think we all have a vested interest in there being an Israel that doesn’t alienate the American electorate. Of course it’s reasonable that we care about what’s happening there.
English
@Rando8715401 @jessesingal How about we just care more about the atmosphere of incitement here at home than we do about some dumb politician on the other side of the world?

Kathryn Paisner@KathrynPaisner
@snitchin_bubs @jessesingal I’m not defending Ben Gvir. There’s a *public* school in my district that has a huge mural of airplane-hijacking terrorist Leila Khaled. People who celebrate terrorism are sick. I just find it very hypocritical when Americans care more about an Israeli minister than about THAT.
English
@KathrynPaisner @jessesingal How about we simply say it’s very bad that a current leader in Israel’s government helped create the atmosphere of incitement that led to the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin?
English
@jessesingal You see more American domestic terrorists in higher education than you do in politics.
I do remember when Barack Obama's association with former members of the Weather Underground became a campaign controversy.
English
@KathrynPaisner @ChrisMurphyCT Fair point. Our president has the verbal acuity of an eight-year-old and I should keep that in mind.
English
@Rando8715401 @ChrisMurphyCT It is what he literally said, but it’s also not a fair read, viewed in context. He ended the post by blessing the “Great People of Iran,” so he was very obviously talking about the regime.
English
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
English
@KathrynPaisner @ChrisMurphyCT To be clear, Iran’s civilization does not belong to the “Death to America” regime. It’s a civilization that dates back to ancient times. Maybe Trump doesn’t know what the word means, but that is what he said.
English
@KathrynPaisner @ChrisMurphyCT Do you think it’s bad that Trump is threatening to destroy a civilization?
English
@ChrisMurphyCT Does this universal moral law apply to the “Death to America” regime?
English
@KathrynPaisner 1) I don’t know exactly, but it wouldn’t include bombing hospitals, destroying water and sanitation systems, attacking schools, and blockading food shipments.
2) Of course not. It’s possible to find those celebrations detestable and sincerely object to Israel’s actions.
English
@Rando8715401 I have two questions for you:
1) If Mexico ever did to us what Gaza did to Israel, on 10/7, what would an appropriate response look like?
2) Would you describe people who rallied to celebrate Hamas' opening salvo in the Gaza war as "anti-war"?
English
If you had started following a bunch of white nationalists after the Charleston Church Massacre, and then started ranting constantly about “black-on-white-crime,” which you’d never previously cared about, I think it would be fair to say that your views were influenced by bigots.
Jesse Singal@jessesingal
almost tweeted something *very* close to this but thought better of it. yolo: "You couldn't *actually* have qualms about trans activism -- you must be a bigot/influenced by bigots." ≈ "You couldn't *actually* be upset about Gaza -- you must be a bigot/influenced by bigots."
English
@KathrynPaisner I remember the pro-Hamas rallies quite clearly. I saw one with my own two eyes and have video evidence that I watch from time to time. Nevertheless, I think Israel’s response was far too severe.
English
I understand that there has been a substantial propaganda campaign to make everyone forget Free Palestine activists’ gleeful, pro-war response to the October 7th attack, but some of us still remember it quite clearly.
People put the paragliders Hamas used to land at Nova on their rally fliers.
We’re talking about some really sick stuff, here.
English
@KathrynPaisner @jessesingal What if you’re upset about Gaza because you think the Israeli government was far too cavalier about killing civilians?
English
@jessesingal If you’re upset about Gaza because you follow influencers who responded to October 7th by rallying around the flag on Hamas’ uniforms and calling to globalize Hamas’ intifada, I think it’s quite reasonable to say that you’re being influenced by bigots.
