@JamilKhuja @mehdirhasan And honestly, that wasn’t even my point. If ethno-nationalism is illiberal in principle, then be consistent and fair. Why are states like Pakistan, also founded around a majority identity, treated differently from Israel?
English

@danaw15 @mehdirhasan The key difference is the people of Pakistan were already living on that land. Muslims from other parts of the world weren’t imported in order to create a Muslim state of Pakistan.

A reminder that this guy lives in America where he could never get away with saying that we need to "preserve a Christian majority" or we need to preserve a "white majority" in the US. Ethno-nationalism is bad if you believe in secular liberal democracy. Let's stop pretending.

“He opposes any two-state solution that seeks to preserve a Jewish majority in Israel.” We must stop acting like this is some neutral or reasonable position. Advocating for the removal of Jewish self-governance is advocating for, at best, the subjugation of Jews as a minority in yet another Arab state, and at worst, our total destruction.

@JamilKhuja @mehdirhasan Yes, many Jewish refugees immigrated, but they weren’t imported. Israel is rooted in the region’s history, with a continuous Jewish presence before 1948. And Pakistan’s creation also displaced millions, alongside a mass population exchange with India.

@bornthiszion @OfficialSaharTV I've reached out to him, he is ghosting. All these Zionist streamers are afraid of me.

@martinez_clips @forbin01 If a teacher chooses a student to stay after class and clean, does that make them superior, or just give them a responsibility? ‘Chosen’ here means responsibility, not superiority
English

Incorrect.
The Old Testament is rife with statements that Jews are ABOVE other nations and that non-Jews will eventually become their WORKHORSES.
"For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth."
"And the LORD has declared today that you are a people for his treasured possession, as he has promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments, and that he will set you in praise and in fame and in honor high above all nations that he has made, and that you shall be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised."
"And if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth."

@martinez_clips No offense, but this isn’t a gotcha. He answered you, but you kept looping the same question and steering the conversation to fit your point. That’s not a real conversation, it’s just fishing for what you want to hear..

@hjwot @MatNuclear While many Jordanians today are of Palestinian origin, the Hashemite monarchy is now deeply tied to the country’s political identity.
English

@hjwot @MatNuclear Transjordan itself was created by the British and had a smaller, less centralized population compared to Iraq and Syria, which made it easier for the Hashemites to consolidate power.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?
A thread on some of of our findings:

@_rathbone @JewdyGold @jlynnpic @nycomedyclub Because it was meant as an insult. No one’s offended by the word itself, but when it’s used like that, it’s a problem. You wouldn’t mind being called by your identity unless it’s used to dismiss you, invalidate what you say, or single you out.
English

It’s come to this: Antisemites aren’t even ashamed anymore, even on the Upper West Side. I am so grateful to class act @jlynnpic and the rest of the staff at @nycomedyclub for acting so quickly and doing the right thing. #comedy #standup #standupcomedy #jewish #nyc

@EndWokeness This is what happens when ideology replaces independent thinking and everything is framed as anti West. Yet he still defends China, despite its capitalist style economy
English

@SirBadOpinions I don’t like either of them, but let’s be real. Tate has faced investigations in Romania for alleged human trafficking, rape, and organized crime, with cases across multiple countries. You can criticize Hasan for being hypocritical or toxic, but they’re just not comparable.
English

Hasan is the left’s Andrew Tate. People like him are the most hateful, corrosive, toxic monsters alive, and exemplify everything we DON’T want in politics. The entire reason the country is in shambles is because the right decided that winning was worth destroying our country.

.@monacharen: Even if it were true that Dems would profit electorally by becoming a little more hateful, a little more misogynistic, a little friendlier to America’s authoritarian antagonists, a little more vulgar, and a little dumber—is it worth it? What kind of victory is that?
English

@OunkaOnX Tbh what bothered me most was how rude she was to that guy just trying to calm things down. He was clearly working there in his Spiderman costume, and the way she called him “Spiderman” was so dismissive and disrespectful. Honestly, I wouldn’t have cared but she acted like a jerk
English

@OunkaOnX Unless there’s specific evidence against particular individuals, there’s no justification for harassing people just because they’re Israeli. Military service is mandatory in Israel, so many have served but that doesn’t mean they were combat soldiers or ever set foot in Gaza
English

A New Yorker confronted an Israeli IDF soldier in the street:
'Did you flee because you're killing too many babies?'
'How many babies did you kill? You record it and put it on Hinge.'
'You're worse than the Nazis. You're creating a Holocaust right now.'
'After a baby-killing spree, they get to come to NYC and chill. Our taxes fund this'
English

@redwhiteblaine @OunkaOnX Blaming random people just for where they’re from isn’t accountability, it’s just prejudice
English

Hasan calls out Asmongold for being an “inconsistent worm” regarding his commentary on Israel & Iran
"It's islamic terr*rism when u say Israel shouldn't do a g*nocide..ty Among*y..my man is mainlining hasbara at this point"
"If ur an Asmongold fan at any point in ur life..already dropped any self reflection capabilities..incapable of understanding how world views u"
"If this is the best Israel has..strongest weapon is a guy who doesn't shower..an inconsistent worm that has no moral compass..that will say heinous antisemitic sh*t one day..next day he'll turn around and straight up repeat verbatim Israeli talking points"
"Botted or not he has a fairly large audience still, obviously it's diminished as Trump's popularity is diminishing"

@Eddie_Mugoh There are many descendants of Holocaust survivors from Romania, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, and more. Because Jews were living throughout Europe.
