If we can acknowledge that an ideology has emerged in which anything the United States does is treated as inherently bad, and anything Israel does as inherently bad, then we are forced to confront a neglected implication: racism can in fact be directed at whole countries. It is already obvious that racism routinely targets national and ethnic groups, not merely “races” defined by skin color. Yet a persistent assumption holds that such animus cannot attach to states—despite the fact that states are the primary political expression of those very groups. The assumption is not borne out by observation.

@BernieSanders What about Hizbullah? I think you intentionally don’t tell the full story

While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon. 1,461 have been killed. 4,430 have been injured. 1.2 million have been displaced. Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon. Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.

@Gibboanxious When you get millions of dollars because you are pretty, it’s not a surprise that you are detach from reality.

Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”

כריס קומו הוא שדרן אמריקאי מאד פופולרי ולטעמי הגון. בתקופה האחרונה הוא יצא נגד המלחמה באיראן וטען ש״זו מלחמה של ישראל ולא של אמריקה.״ לכן בחרתי להתראיין דווקא אצלו לשיחת עומק כנה ואמיתית על המלחמה, על יחסי ארה״ב-ישראל, ונדמה לי שהדברים חדרו ללב. צפו ושתפו:

Anthropology, a discipline that should be most attuned to the dynamics of cultural erasure, has failed to oppose antizionist racism. It has overwritten Jewish voice through the lens of majority power, treating Jewish particularity not as a people worth thinking-with, but as a symbol of colonial guilt. It has inverted and reduced Jewish experience into an allegory of victimhood and domination, rather than attending to the patterns of survival, transmission, and meaning that animate Jewish life.

@FurkanGozukara She lives in alternative reality

BOMBSHELL: CNN's Christiane Amanpour confirms Washington had a real chance for peace, but threw it away to adopt Israel's psychotic "mowing the lawn" strategy. The Trump Administration intentionally chose endless bombing over diplomacy.

@KenRoth You are irrelevant out side of social media.

More than 1,000 international law experts (myself included) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the U.N. Charter (no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat that could justify a self-defense claim) and may be war crimes (attacks on civilian sites). trib.al/lyTCOJB

@RealJamesWoods It’s not Trojan Horse, it’s naïveté. He really thinks that radical are also good people deep down.

He is the Islamic Trojan Horse.

@Martina You mean in what planet it okay to spread lies?

@RepRashida Why you lying? It’s not mass execution law, and it doesn’t limited to Palestinian. Anyone that convicted in terror that killed could be convicted.

The Israeli government is about to pass a law mandating the death penalty, only for Palestinian prisoners. Mass execution by hanging, solely on racial lines. This is apartheid and the next step in the genocide of Palestinians, already systematically tortured in Israeli prisons.

Mehdi wants to school people in Middle East history and accuses them of “hasbara” for pointing out his errors. But all the strutting and thumping and cussing in the world won’t make truths of his childish lies. Yes, Begin said that quote about Israel choosing to respond to Nasser’s blockade with war. And bigots like Mehdi have quoted that single sentence for years. It’s so famous among anti-Israel propagandists that he probably lifted it from ChatGPT. But no, Begin didn’t think Israel was the aggressor. He said the 67 attack was a response to “multiple acts of aggression designed to debilitate Israel step by step as a preliminary to outright war.” He argued 67 was a response to aggression with potentially existential consequences. This is incidentally what the Arab states were saying in the run-up to the war. Mehdi is arguing with the Arabs of 1967 more than he’s arguing with the Israelis. Begin, in fact, called Nasser’s blockade and massing of troops a “casus bellum.” Because duh. Begin’s point wasn’t that Israel was the aggressor. He thought Egypt was. His point in the context of 1982 was that Israel has agency in how to respond to aggressive actions and war preparations by its enemies. It’s tempting to think Mehdi is lying, misrepresenting, that he’s a petty propagandist rather than just ignorant or dumb. But this is a false choice. You read this and realize he’s both. Which explains why he’s so keen to accuse others of, variously, “dumbass”-edness and “hasbara.” A thief is fanatical about protecting his property, a liar assumes everyone else is lying to him. And Mehdi thinks history is what he needs it to be and everyone who knows better is lying and dumb.

@mehdirhasan Surrounded by armies mobilizing with crowds chanting genocidal slogans… they attacked preemptively. Begged Jordan not to enter and only fought them when Jordan attacked. who’s the dumbass?

@AdamMossoff This data is staggering. 32 uses of 'war crime' and 88% aimed at only one side. When the framing is this lopsided, it's not reporting — it's narrative building. Thanks for sharing the numbers.

Data analytics confirm huge bias in favor of pro-Islamic regime of Iran by BBC, CNN, NBC and NY Times. These media orgs used "war crime" 32 times in news reports in the first 3 weeks of the U.S./Israel-Iran war. ZERO references solely to crimes by Islamic regime, and 88% media uses referred solely to U.S. or Israel. Islamic regime uses cluster bombs against Israeli civilians, shoots missiles and suicide drones at civilian targets in numerous Arab countries not involved in war, fires missiles at holy sites in Old Jerusalem, etc., etc. ZERO identification of these war crimes as standalone crimes by major Western media organizations. This is shameful.

@Osint613 Rubio nailed it. The regime that has funded Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Shia militias across the region doesn't get to lecture anyone on genocide.

Reporter: How do you feel about the Iranian Foreign Minister accusing the US and Israel of genocide? Marco Rubio: The Iranian? He's an expert in genocide. They've killed thousands. Every problem in the Middle East is Iran. Hezbollah? Iran. Shia militias destroying and threatening Iraq? Iran. Hamas? Iran. Houthis? Iran. Assad in Syria? Iran. Everywhere you turn, they're behind all of it.

@DrCaseyBabb Shabbat Shalom! Well said, Casey. The story of return and rebuilding is unlike anything else in history.

Zionism is the greatest indigenous success story in human history. It is equality. It is dreaming. It is liberation. It is medicine. Shabbat Shalom.

When I became a citizen of the United States in 2014, on the basis of political asylum from the Gaza Strip and escaping Jihadi Islamism, I sincerely and seriously never thought that pro-Jihad, pro-Hamas, pro-terror, fascist, pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah, anti-civilizational dark forces would become a mainstream staple in American politics and discourse. Having a group of ignorant domestic terrorists with Hamas and Palestinian flags, hiding their faces and taking over public space outside the City Hall of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, is not only a grotesque sight, but it also demonstrates so much that has gone wrong. It is a condemnation of our country's higher education institutes, which have normalized violence, anti-Western ideologies, and embarrassing “post-colonial” narratives. This is a condemnation of a failed revisionist, neo-liberal immigration approach in which assimilation is frowned upon and viewed as bad and negative, coddling people with truly horrendous beliefs, ideologies, cultures, and backgrounds, instead of seeking to uplift and elevate them and their status. This is a condemnation of failed parenting, nonexistent community infrastructure to educate young people, failed leftist discourses, and moral bankruptcy. Remember that this has nothing to do with Palestine, for these “activists” ruined the “pro-Palestine” cause and are now seeking to latch on to any and every remaining filth that can vector their anti-human, anti-America, anti-Western, and anti-decent discourse and value system that can produce anything of meaning. Burning the American flag, while exercising your right to free speech, is the ultimate irony that only the United States of America affords to literal domestic terrorists, who are engaged in a subversive act against the very country and patriotic values that they seek to “dismantle.” Still, freedom of choice does not equal freedom from consequences. This cannot be normalized, as it unfortunately has been over the past two and a half years since Hamas’s October 7th attack. This is a domestic battle for our country’s values and future – it’s time to choose the direction you want this country to head in.

@JamesMelville It’s movie, with a specific plot to tell a different version of history. But, it’s not an historical document and you can’t used it to make informed statements.

I’ve just watched Palestine 36: So many people need a history lesson. October 7th wasn’t the start. It goes back a long long way. Imagine being a citizen to a place that lost status, sovereignty, human rights, freedom and land. And then for decades got hemmed in, encroached, destroyed and an appropriation of the land unchecked. Destinies of people who have lived there for generations completely torn up. Grief turns into rage. It would anywhere. But apparently it’s “antisemitic” to raise any concerns about this.

Dear @ComicDaveSmith, I'll engage with you here because you were apparently very upset on your most recent appearance on @joerogan's podcast. I don't engage with your positions because in a world of fixed resources, one does not have the time to engage with everyone in possession of an opinion. You've managed to catapult yourself onto the conversation; more power to you. Quantum physicists should not bother with my opinion on the topic since I readily admit that I'm hardly an expert in that field; I dare venture that my knowledge of quantum physics (very little) is orders of magnitude higher than your "knowledge" of Israel and the Middle East. I have epistemological humility; you possess none. Cheers.

How the west came to accept lies as truth.

@camkasky No one talk you that lying is bad for your long term mental health?

Personally, if I didn’t want protesters outside my house of worship, I would probably not auction off other people’s land inside my house of worship.
