"Countries don’t recover from being taken over by unstable authoritarian nationalists...left or right" -@adamgopnik: bit.ly/1OFB7Rt

Turkey has occupied roughly 8,000 sq km of northern Syria for years as a security buffer zone after repeated cross-border attacks. Yet when Israel creates a temporary buffer zone amid ongoing Hezbollah fire, the outrage is endless. @FinancialTimes

@thewebbie Also, the Ottomans transferred many people to Israel. Many more came just to take advantage of the economy the Jews created.

The Ottomans ruled the Levant for 400 years. They were Muslim. So why didn’t they create a “Palestinian” state? Awkward question. Because the land was not an independent Palestinian nation waiting to be restored. It was another slice of imperial territory. The locals, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Arab, Turk, Druze, Bedouin, were Ottoman subjects organized by religion, tribe, and village. Not citizens of “Palestine.” Arabs lived there, of course. But there was no Palestinian state. The Ottomans had 400 years. The British had decades. No Palestinian state. Then Israel was reborn and suddenly everyone’s a TikTok historian. Criticize Israeli policy all you want. That’s fair. But claiming Jews “stole” an ancient Palestinian nation? Pure fiction. For the last 2000 years, the land was controlled by Romans, Byzantines, Rashidun Caliphate, Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mamluks, Ottomans, then the British. Nobody created a Palestinian state. Then the world finally offered the Arabs one. They declined. Chose war. And somehow the bill for that decision keeps getting mailed to the Jews. History has receipts.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani condemns the horrific shooting at the Islamic Center while reiterating that he is deeply opposed to controversial real estate events being hosted inside mosques. Do you see how insane that sounds?

@NYCMayor Continued lip service while continuing to use the backdoor for moves that will harm Jews.

I was thrilled to honor the legendary Ruth Messinger at our pre-Shavuot celebration at Gracie Mansion for Jewish American Heritage Month. Jewish Americans have long been trailblazers for justice, from labor leaders like Clara Lemlich and Rose Schneiderman to Civil Rights leaders like Henry Moskowitz, Rabbi Heschel, and Marjorie G. Wyler — Ruth Messinger’s mother — who marched from Selma alongside Dr. King. In order to ensure that Jewish communities can continue to thrive here, my administration is increasing hate crime prevention funding by 800% — because New York must be a place where everyone can live safely and freely. Whether you are about to finish counting the Omer or are looking forward to cheesecake, Chag Sameach and happy Jewish American Heritage Month!

What Muslims did to the Yazidis in Iraq was far worse than anything happening in Gaza. Elderly women were buried alive because they were too old to serve as sex slaves. Mothers were forced to eat their own babies. Young girls were locked in iron cages and burned to death. Yet not one protest. Not a single march. The same people now flooding the streets for Gaza were completely silent. Why? Unlike Gazans, the Yazidis never started a war!

@TheModerateCase Nevermind Native Americans.

Christians have been here longer than all of them, so what would your issue be with Christians telling all Jews to get out? After all, we were here first. Do you see how stupid you sound?

@TheTweetOfGod The feeling's mutual.

I dislike most of you.

Here's a challenge no pro-Palestinian can answer: Name one Jewish village that Jews stole from Arabs — before the Arabs launched their war to destroy the Jewish community in 1948. Think about that. Pro-Palestinians accuse Jews of stealing land, yet they cannot name a single Jewish village built on stolen land. Not one. Everything the Arabs lost, they lost in a war they started. And by the way — I can give you plenty of examples of places Arabs took from Jews before 1948. I'm attaching one photo: Hebron, 1929.

@Athena_Thorne @Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @DrewPavlou I think your mindset is kinda partisan, "friend". Don't be condescending to me and call out faults you see on the right. The right is not perfect. But you allowing it to do whatever they want, so long as they're "right", will make it worse.

@brokenPrime @Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @DrewPavlou I think your mindset is kind of dated, friend, though I do admire your zeal for safety and protection of Jewish people.

The two extreme-right terrorists who tried to shoot up the San Diego Mosque wrote a manifesto blaming Jews for all world problems

@Athena_Thorne @Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @DrewPavlou MTG, a leading fund raiser, talks about Jewish Space Lasers. David Duke, Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer (rallied huge mobs), Robert Bowers (very violent). Elected officials: John rankin, Louis McFadden, MTG, Paul Gosar, Steve King. You keep denying it because you like it.

@Athena_Thorne @Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @DrewPavlou Yes, I can think of them on the left too. That doesn't mean the right doesn't have the same issues. It's really pathetic that you think the right is so perfect and angelic. And yes, you do have a say. You vote. You can express yourself to your representative. But you won't.

@Tina_Geor @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou No, it's on both sides. I don't know why you all are so triggered by the facts. I mean, David Duke ran in Louisiana as a GOP. Seve King, Don Young, Paul Gosar, and nevermind Donald Trump. If you refuse to acknowledge the rot on your side, that means you will allow it to continue

@brokenPrime @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou No one on the so called right advocates for violence or intolerance towards jews. That's the leftists job and has been for over a hundred years. Nice try though.

@Athena_Thorne @Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @DrewPavlou Think about what that makes you.

@Athena_Thorne @Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @DrewPavlou It was a real rally. They represented a large part of the GOP. I've never denied the Democrat's and leftists antisemitism problem. Both sides have issues. You're defending the right. Which means you'll allow it to continue so long as they agree with you on other things.

@Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou That's one. That's not the whole bunch. In any event, he's a false flag. He's a conservative and he's switched parties so you all can blame the Democrats. The large majority of people who went to the Unite the *Right* rally are voting GOP.

@brokenPrime @TerenBlackthorn @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou 🤔

@TerenBlackthorn @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou Must suck to be full of such hatred and delusion yourself. Anyway, this conversation is not constructive -- kinda like your life. So buh bye.

That has nothing to do with the rightwing, especially MAGA. And yes they were listed in the indictment for funding the leaders and organizers. SPLC is a racist hate group long before Trump ever ran. You're the hatred and lies... and you're the only fascist I see these days. Must suck to be you? In denial.. scared, racist, hateful and bitter.

@Based_Otto @TerenBlackthorn @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou GOP

@brokenPrime @TerenBlackthorn @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou How are those people voting now?

My latest in the @BulwarkOnline Europe Is a Platform, Not a Burden open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

@TerenBlackthorn @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou LOL. Nothing about this is the SPLC "sponsoring" the rally. It was hatched and organized by right wingers, attended by right-wingers, who thought they were right-wingers. Anything else is just you denying the hatred within your ideological compatriots. ...and you being fascist.

@brokenPrime @Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou Try to keep up bud... I know you are low IQ and can't keep pace, but try.

@Athena_Thorne @DrewPavlou LOL, clown.

@brokenPrime @DrewPavlou Do try to keep up. washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/454…
