@Tracking_Power Er…yes

Are the Jews indigenous to the Levant? Er, No. The truth is that Ashkenazi Jews come mostly from Eastern Europe, with origins in the Caucasus, Turkey and Iran. Sephardim, are mostly of Arab and Berber origins. They are ‘Arab Jews’ with perhaps as little connection to Palestine as the Ashkenazim.  There is, in other words, no unitary ‘Jewish people’ with any historically continuous claim to the land of Palestine. Sorry about that. english.almayadeen.net/articles/analy…

@RandPaul Congress(which is controlled by the GOP) has inflated this budget and refuses to pay for it. We’re about to roll off an economic cliff. No one is willing to talk about it. But that person will get my vote for president if someone would show some damn leadership.

The last time debt hit these levels, America had just helped win a World War. What's our excuse today? Runaway spending. Bloated budgets. A uniparty that refuses to say no. I've said no. I'll keep saying no. But I need Americans to demand better from their representatives. wsj.com/economy/u-s-de…

@Mike_Pence When Reagan was president…it was true. Now we actually tax too little. Well we tax the middle class too much but the rich don’t pay their fair share.

The National Debt Now Exceeds the Size of the American Economy. Get ready for Democrats to clamor for higher taxes. But as Reagan said, “the problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much" For our children and grandchildren, Republicans must lead the way, back to a Balanced Federal Budget, with fiscal discipline and reform. If we don’t, no one will.

@mehdirhasan Your definition of genocide is so broad virtually every war ever waged would be considered genocide. You render the meaning of the word meaningless.

Many of us rightly see antisemitic violence as horrific and unacceptable and growing. But if cynical pro Israel propagandists like this person think they’re gonna cynically use it to stop us from accusing a foreign government of genocide - which is the consensus view - good luck

@ricwe123 Did they stop with Egypt and Jordan? Did they make peace with the UAE? Are they all richer for it?

Some people may still hope for peace with Israel, but let's be honest the Jews show absolute no interest in peace with their neighbouring countries. You might believe in sharing the land, yet they make it clear they don’t intend to share it. They want it all,and are willing to kill to get it. So don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking otherwise. If the Jews are capable of what’s happening in the Gaza Strip, what makes you think they’ll stop there?

@NYCMayor Brazen…lol

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

@SenTomCotton You’re a Senator in the United States senate. Why not act like a leader instead of a shill? How do you look at yourself in th mirror everyday…or face your family.? You have so much influence yet you waste it on…this. “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent”-A Bronx Tale

The rise in political violence is not a “both sides” issue. Assassinations, attempted or successful, for political reasons are almost entirely a feature of the radical left. It’s been that way for decades.

@JossSheldon You do realize if you walk around in Gaza this posting isn’t going to save you. Some people are just so stupid.

"Globalise the Intifada" is NOT a call to attack Jews. Intifada means "Shaking off" - liberating Palestine from the Zionist occupation. It has NOTHING to do with Jews, many of whom despise the Zionist ideology. As a Jew, I say: "Globalise the intifada"!

@NikkiHaley I’ve been screaming about his for 10 years. Way to take the initiative.

America just crossed a dangerous milestone: our national debt now exceeds the size of our economy. Washington spends $1.33 for every $1 it takes in, with a $1.9T deficit this year alone. When the bill comes due, expect higher taxes, a weaker dollar, fewer services, a weaker military—and our kids stuck paying for it.

@JonathanTurley Look again JT…the SCOTUS is already packed. That’s what the problem is and why he called them illegitimate.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just called the Supreme Court "illegitimate." That follows Democratic politicians and pundits calling for the packing of the Supreme Court. Nothing says Happy 250th Anniversary like tearing down the core institutions of the Republic.

@MouinRabbani I don’t care if the UN says 2+2=5. You cannot justify 5 generations of people calling themselves refugees…especially when they already live in their own land.

@MouinRabbani Let me rephrase. Very few people who left in 47 are alive today. Those were the real refugees. Not their children, not their grand children or great grandchildren.

Repeat after me: An Arab family born in Palestine and whose ancestors have lived in Palestine for as long as can be remembered are foreigners, but a Jewish family born in Europe and whose ancestors have lived in Europe for as long as can be remembered is from the Middle East.

@JoshinSFU @MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan Actually I read the article and it looked legit. It looks like an atrocities was covered up. The people that did that should have been prosecuted. Now about Hamas…

@jonathan_furer @MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan "If this actually happened…government supported rape murder and torture…there would’ve been news reports…in newspapers." In case you're really stupid and not trolling, you may want to sit down for this one. . .

It's curious how American Jews are constantly asked to denounce Israel, Netanyahu, West Bank settlers, Zionism, Ben Gvir, the war in Gaza and more — and how many American Jews willingly submit to these litmus tests But asking Muslims to denounce Hamas, Hezbollah is considered offensive to even ask

@MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan apnews.com/article/israel…

@jonathan_furer @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan There aren't any. Unlike you I actually consult sources.

@MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan pbs.org/newshour/world…

@paulgenesis5 @MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan Send me the link. Anyone can say anything. If you think he made the case then you’re in the bag. No one could’ve read what he wrote and really thought he made any case whatsoever.

@jonathan_furer @MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan he did make the case.

@MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan That was a book written by a shill with an agenda. If there was that kind of an atrocity…where Jews unprovoked raped murdered and tortured Arabs…there would’ve news reports. Trust me at least one reporter would be trying to win a Pulitzer if it happened. One newspaper citation.

@jonathan_furer @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan I already did, chapter and verse. If you're too lazy to consult evidence provided to you that's on you. End of discussion.

@MouinRabbani @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan And there were plenty of rapes of Israeli women…I can send you credible source citations for that if you like.

@jonathan_furer @ShakirOneal @LevineJonathan If I can use a search engine so can you. Do your own fucking research, or feel free to make a fool of yourself and proclaim there were no massacres in Gaza during 1956. And anyway it's not a comparison. There were no rapes of Israeli women during the October 2023 attacks.
