Sam Seder

David Frum seems to be suggesting an organized conspiracy of lying Shoah victims going back to 1945. rickperlstein.substack.com/p/yes-virginia…

Yes, I'm suing Matt Taibbi. eoinhiggins.substack.com/p/yes-im-suing…

@hasanthehun @neeratanden I think that’s a fair question. I wasnt the one smeared. While we are here- I think it’s also fair to name the accounts who posted the original smears which Neera relies on so they can apologize too. It only seems appropriate.

@neeratanden @SamSeder why are you apologizing to sam seder for lying about me lmao

@neeratanden Glad to hear you deleted.

Hi @SamSeder - really grateful for your concern. I saw accounts I trusted state Piker supported Galindo, but I doublechecked and that was wrong. So I've deleted. Apologies for the error.

This is a really embarrassing and desperate lie. I get that a 2am tweet can be subject to all sorts of influences but if there’s a problem someone should step in.

A former USAID official based in the Democratic Republic of Congo tells @jaketapper that the response to the new Ebola outbreak was likely delayed weeks because of Trump's elimination of USAID.

THEY GOT THE MONEY!! BUT WE HAVE THE PEOPLE! AND WHEN PEOPLE ARE UNITED, WELL NEVER BE DEFEATED!!!!!

MAHA was always such a fraud.

Here is the written order for ethnic cleansing made public by Israel. No pretense. No hiding. Just evidence of high war crimes.

Susan Collins holds $4.8 million in stocks, including Amazon. She also voted to give Amazon a massive tax break. Coincidentally.

Claims that the Palestinians were in 1948 ordered to evacuate their homes and homeland by Arab leaders in a series of radio broadcasts has been a perennial Hasbara Symphony Orchestra favourite since the Nakba, and continues to be widely promoted to this day. The BBC journalist and United Nations official Erskine Barton Childers (not to be confused with his father, Ireland's fourth president, Erskine Hamilton Childers) thoroughly debunked this claim more than half a century ago in his article, "The Other Exodus" published in The Spectator on 12 May 1961. Childers reviewed the comprehensive archives of Arab radio broadcasts compiled during that period by both the BBC monitoring station in Cyprus and its US counterpart, the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) run by the CIA, and found nothing. I have posted a link to Childers's article in the comments, which is worth reading because it includes details of additional fabrications concocted by Israeli officials to further this foundational hasbara myth. Abba Eban, then Israel's permanent representative to the UN and later foreign minister, and easily its most celebrated diplomat, for example claimed that the Greek Catholic Archbishop of Haifa, George Hakim, "fully confirmed" that Palestinians were encouraged to flee by their leaders. Yet, according to Childers: "I wrote to His Grace [Hakim], asking for his evidence of such orders. I hold signed letters from him, with permission to publish, in which he has categorically denied ever alleging Arab evacuation orders; he states that no such orders were ever given. He says that his name has been abused for years; and that the Arabs fled through panic and forcible eviction by Jewish troops." This is the same Abba Eban who on 6 June 1967 falsely informed the UN Security Council that Israel had launched the June War the previous day in response to a series of non-existent attacks on Israel on the morning of 5 June by the Egyptian air force and artillery units. I was previously unaware that the Israeli archives also include records of these radio broadcasts. As the British-Israeli historian Benny Morris reports below, he went through these records and also found that such broadcasts, whether by local Palestinian or Arab leaders, simply do not exist. While the research conducted by Childers and more recently Morris is of course useful in providing official confirmation that such broadcasts are a figment of the Zionist imagination, logic alone should suffice to debunk this myth. In May 1948, the Arab states intervened in Palestine to put an end to the mass expulsions of Palestinians, which since November 1947 already numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and to defeat the Israeli forces responsible for this monumental crime. Does it make any sense that prior to their intervention they would have ordered hundreds of thousands of civilians to clog every road they hoped to use to enter Palestine, for miles and days on end? Of course not. As for the silly claim that the objective of the Arab intervention was genocide, there is no evidence for it, and the conduct of the Arab militaries during the Palestine War supports this conclusion. Nor was it the case that the Arab intervention was a coordinated military campaign to eradicate the nascent Israeli state. Some of the participating Arab states, Syria and Iraq, did have this as an objective. Transjordan clearly did not. Its leadership had already cut a deal with the Zionist leadership to partition Palestine between them and prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. Armed conflict between Israel and Transjordan in fact ensued only after Israeli forces reneged on their agreement and initiated seizures of territory beyond the partition boundary. Egypt's position was more ambiguous. It seemed to be primarily motivated by rivalry with Jordan, and ensuring Jordan did not become the main Arab power in Palestine. In short, no Arab state wanted to see the emergence of the Israeli state, but in most cases Arab leaders had more pressing priorities. Coordination between them was primarily notable for its absence. Arab public opinion, by contrast, considered the failure of their leaders to successfully confront the Zionist project nothing short of treason, and it served as a catalyst for more than a decade of revolutions, coups, and uprisings throughout the region.

Majority Report, more like Minority Report.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Senator @BernieSanders . For decades, Senator Sanders has fought for working people and refused to back down against corporate greed and a political system rigged for the wealthy. Our campaign is built on those same values. We’re proving that you can run a people-powered movement without taking money from AIPAC, big real estate, or special interests, and still build the coalition to win. This endorsement means so much because it shows what’s possible when we lead with courage, conviction, and solidarity with working class New Yorkers.

Which brings me to my final point, imagine my shock seeing the MTG discourse. So let’s dive in. I think MTG is sincere about her being upset about what’s happening in Gaza. Many people can vouch for this. Anyone who sees the images out of Gaza and hears the stories from families can’t help but be moved if they’re not a total monster. But expanding coalitions does not mean platforming everyone in that coalition. AND it doesn’t erase her voting record, history of putting people like David Hogg and AOC in danger and racist remarks. It sure as hell does not make her a better advocate than our own. Even after her break with Trump, she’s still amplifying content that has put people’s health and wellbeing in danger (see recent ivermectin tweet) and opposes voter protections (see her tweet about the VRA). And no, I’m not just saying this now. We had MTG under corrupt politicians in our ad in September because of her insider trading.

Sorry, but this is BS. I interviewed @AbdulElSayed months ago, and when going over his background with me, he immediately made it clear that he received an MD but declined to practice, instead pursuing a career in public health. There was no hiding / obfuscating on his part.

Anyone who thinks Tucker Carlson has abandoned bigotry should listen to his recent love-fest with Tyler Oliveira, who spread the libel that Haitians were eating cats in Ohio. If progressives like Glenn Greenwald, Jeffrey Sachs + Cenk Uygur want to go on Carlson's show, fine. Agree with him on this criminal war. But please, challenge his racist poison peterbeinart.substack.com/p/progressives…

@ZaidJilani @ryangrim @mehdirhasan A. Whether ive been to rome is irrelevant B. I did not claim the “idiotic” statement you attribute to me. C. My point was Trump quashed her career ambitions to be senator or gov.

@SamSeder @ryangrim @mehdirhasan Sam have you ever been to GA 14? To Rome Georgia? This is an idiotic statement to say coming out against Trump is what helps a Republican here. She also really did not want to.

MTG sacrificed her political career to stand against genocide, against Trump, against the Epstein Class, and to defend the survivors of Epstein’s trafficking. If that doesn’t earn credibility I don’t know what possibly could.
