@KevinMKruse @edburmila @Trillburne @lionel_trolling I don't think "hyperbole" means what you think it means. "I said '2k immediately', but I knew it would take a week or two" = hyperbole. "I meant 1400 and I'll decide to wait months even for that" = (1) lying and(2) deliberate breach of commitment

@elikowaz "I've decided that if I show up with guns and force you out of your home, you wanting to return is violence" isn't a thing normal people believe

Ro forgot to mention the resolution also calls for the right of return, a Palestinian-only claim that gets passed down generationally, and which in practice means the end of Israel as a Jewish state.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

I am co-sponsoring the @RashidaTlaib-led resolution recognizing the ongoing Nakba, the erasure and dispossession of the Palestinian people who currently face a brutal occupation.

Erez 🇺🇸 #MakeTaboosTabooAgain 'Holding the Line'
@SarahEttedgui It is genocidal, eliminationist bigotry. It must be treated as the inviolable TABOO that it is, just as we ostracized the KKK out of polite society. x.com/elevin11/statu…
Erez 🇺🇸 #MakeTaboosTabooAgain 'Holding the Line'@elevin11

Honored to have my latest essay published by @AndrewPessin and @InstituteCSA. In it, I argue that “antisemitism” has been diluted through overuse, and that we must shift our focus to the much more dangerous TABOOS of “Jew-hatred” and “antizionism”. icsa.substack.com/p/by-erez-levi…

There is nothing progressive about antizionism. Antizionism singles out the Jewish people’s exercise of national self-determination for unique delegitimization. It directly clashes with the foundational logic of liberal nationalism and with the post-WWII international order that recognized Jewish indigeneity and the necessity of refuge after the Holocaust. In practice, antizionist activism displays clear authoritarian tendencies: campus “Zionist-free” zones, ideological loyalty tests within progressive coalitions, the collective targeting of Jews as proxies for Israeli policy, and the rapid expulsion of dissenters, including liberal Jews. Antizionism prioritizes narrative conformity over facts, history, and individual rights. Classical liberalism and any coherent notion of progress demand consistency: supporting the legitimate aspirations of two peoples for dignity and security, not denying the legitimacy of one altogether. Antizionism is illiberal.

Journalism is not supposed to be about "narratives," but rather about reporting the truth. There are some reporters and editors @nytimes who get it. Clearly not @NickKristof, NYT's PR Team, and the executives who keep digging in and making their hole deeper. So sad.
Dylan Byers@DylanByers

NEW: New York Times rejects Israeli Prime Minister @netanyahu’s threat of a lawsuit over @NickKristof piece, calling it, “part of a well-worn political playbook that aims to undermine independent reporting and stifle journalism that does not fit a specific  narrative. Any such legal claim would be without merit.”

Its important to understand these folks are going to keep forcing this dude on a party that rejected him twice while continuing to disrespect who we did choose That alone should let you know its a power grab and should explain why they’ve been silent about the gutting of the VRA

Love him or hate him, Bernie Sanders is the spiritual leader of the Democratic Party now, while the two most prominent Democrats he ever ran against (Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden) have had their legacies ground into dust.

There was and is no genocide in Gaza. Biden’s presidency was hurt primarily by inflation and what many viewed as a chaotic southern border. But Biden is already being looked upon favorably in retrospect due to Trump wrecking everything in his path. Poll after poll shows it.
22 U.S.C. § 2304@RefrmDemocracy

@mquintos @JDCocchiarella I strongly supported Biden's domestic policy, but his legacy is stained by the genocide he enabled.

@AnneHerzberg14 Dude just fixed a 12 billion dollar deficit in six months. Seems like someone is obsessed and it’s not the mayor. Pull your head out

The “Free Palestine” mind virus is absolutely bizarre. Imagine having no connection in any way to a conflict thousands of miles away and crafting your entire life and career around it all bc of an obsession w Jews.
Daniel Friedman@DanFriedman81

We have a mayor of New York City whose entire personality is antisemitism, who married a woman whose entire personality is antisemitism and their relationship is built on a foundation of shared antisemitism.

@iNaomiAllen Right, by bombing its neighbors, raping prisoners, sniping toddlers, stealing homes in the West Bank. It's defense!

Please stop arguing about whether Israel has a right to exist. Israel *does* exist. The real issue is about whether Israel has a right to defend itself.

@samrumackreal @jonathanchait @AbdulElSayed @NathanJRobinson This: The Atlantic is a neoliberal magazine headed by former IDF prison guard Jeffrey Goldberg. Populated heavily by the folks that brought us the Iraq War, the Atlantic realizes its goals (unequivocal support for Israel, War with Iran, etc) are unpopular, so it hides them.

Bernie Sanders. DSA. Sunrise Movement. Our Revolution. Justice Dems. Democratic Socialists. Ro Khanna. Talarico. None of you are meeting the moment on the attack on Black political representation in the South. Do better. Be better.

@TerryWatkinsJr1 That's funny. I know you don't believe most of what you're saying. You're just one of the many hacks for the establishment and AIPAC
