@Stern_66 Wasn’t this from the Galician front in which case any Jewish person would have been quite friendly to the Germans because they were fighting the Russians?

@agraybee @OLurie19718 Shockingly if your political movement self selects for conspiratorial weirdos, eventually they will start obsessing about the thing conspiratorial weirdos have always obsessed about for 1,000 years

@novussubsole @ZacharyBraiterm Does Mizrahi vs Ashkenazi matter that much anymore outside of Likud and Shas demagoguery? It seems like a solid percentage of Israelis are mixed

@ZacharyBraiterm We, unfortunately, have no recent in-depth polling about Bennett's current supporters, but I would be surprised if they are below 30% Mizrahi. Can he win over those who are still supporting the Likud? I believe yes, but they could afterwards also quickly abandon the liberal camp.

Israelis talk a lot about the "soft right," though it really means 2 groups: vocal but tiny libertarian-leaning ultra-nationalists, & the much larger, quite dovish Mizrahi traditionalist petty bourgeoisie. Bennett saw the first group is irrelevant; but can he win over the second?
Michael Hasin@novussubsole

Yeah, the Bennett-Lapid merger just showed how electorally irrelevant the libertarian-leaning ultra-nationalist demographic is: a very loud but tiny group. And few of them would’ve broken for the liberal bloc on election day anyway, even if Bennett had courted them.

העובדה שנתניהו מפרסם סרטון מחדר כושר מיד אחרי שבנט אומר בראיון שהוא צריך ללכת בין היתר כי הוא נושק לגיל 80 וכבר לא בקו הבריאות, מעידה כאלף עדים עד כמה הוא מודע למצבו הקשה בסקרים. עוד יבואו ימים טובים.

@DerekPederson3 @avrilbradley23 My pet conspiracy theory for which I have absolutely no evidence is that the hasbara accounts are all run out of Doha and the pro-Pal accounts are all run out of Jerusalem

One of the worst things for Zionism is how obnoxious and defensive pro-Israel accounts are about the mildest of criticisms.

@agraybee Guessing there are some corrupt Likud or other coalition politicians in bed with the importers. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.

This has definitely been one of the more inexplicable things Netanyahu has done. It's not like they need grain that badly, and he's worn out the world's patience.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa

In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not – and cannot be – legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its export through individuals linked to the occupiers. Such schemes violate the laws of the State of Israel itself. Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform all partners of our state about the situation. Based on information from our intelligence services, Ukraine is preparing a relevant sanctions package that will cover both those directly transporting this grain and the individuals and legal entities attempting to profit from this criminal scheme. We will also coordinate with European partners to ensure that the relevant individuals are included in European sanctions regimes. Ukraine counts on partnership and mutual respect with every state. We are genuinely working to enhance security, particularly in the Middle East region. We expect that the Israeli authorities will respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine our bilateral relations.

@dodgersjordan @BanquoDyar There are no sore loser laws in NYC, Goldman should just run in the general if he loses the primary. The GOP isn’t going to win the seat

Goldman has been an incredibly effective representative and this oaf is going to unseat him just for wedging AIPAC into every sentence
Brad Lander@bradlander

Thank you @BernieSanders @ewarren and the other Senators pushing Democrats to keep dark money out of our primaries. I’m on board. That’s why I issued the "People's Pledge" challenge to keep outside spending out of our race. Sadly, Dan Goldman rejected it — so we expect to see the AIPAC & crypto spending ramping up soon (in addition to his own fortune). Not sure if they let House members into this "Fight Club." But I pledge to fight alongside them. nytimes.com/2026/04/27/us/…

@novussubsole As I see it, the whole largest party issue is to make it clear that any unity government will be under Bennett. If Bibi says no, then the liberal camp can go to Ra’am while saying they kept their promise

First legit Israeli poll after the Bennett-Lapid merger. It's a mixed bag: overall, liberals lose only two mandates & still beat the Netanyahu bloc very comfortably 59 to 51. However, the Bennett-Lapid ticket fails to secure the top spot. Sadly, the Likud still comes first.
Israel Elects@israel_elects

First Lazar poll after Bennett-Lapid merger: 🔵Likud: 28 (+4) 🔴Together (Bennett & YA): 27 (-4) 🔴Yashar: 15 (+3) 🔴Democrats: 9 🔵Shas: 8 (-1) 🔴Yisrael Beteinu: 8 (-1) 🔵Otzma Yehudit: 8 (-1) 🔵UTJ: 7 🟢Ra'am: 5 🟢Hadash-Ta'al: 5 changes +/- 04/23 via Lazar/Walla, 04/27

@JacobALinker Seems like it’s a confluence of a couple things: 1) Hesderite / settler / Kahanist mid level officers and rabbis going rogue and/or encouraging or ordering other troops to do so too 2) the brass knowing that this government will back up the extremists over the senior officers
