@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

@LevineJonathan What's with this "we" stuff? I didn't sign up for bombing Iran mid-negotiation, and in doing so shaming our country and military. There's an evil we need to break alright. The one committing genocide

@knish_of_death That's an astonishing claim - coming from someone I disagree with but don't consider a crank. Do you think Jewish kids taught to ask questions caught some kind of "self-hatred" virus, or are they just paying attention?

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@ElliotMalin Nice try, but the judges have been clear: "“We therefore reject plaintiffs’ claimed right to stifle anti-Zionist speech by labeling it inherently antisemitic,” the judges wrote."

Things can be protected by the First Amendment, and also antisemitic. Hate speech is protected speech. It's when that speech infringes on another's right that it becomes a problem, or when it incites imminent lawless action.
Tom Perkins@PomTerkins

Judges are largely finding that criticism of Israel/Zionism is 1st amendment protected speech, not antisemitic. Ditto for slogans like “From the river to the sea” Major blows to pro-Israel lawfare operation theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

“[Hasan] Piker is anti-American, antiwomen, anti-Western and antisemitic.” @ThirdWayTweet’s Jon Cowan and Lily Cohen write in @WSJopinion. “No Democrat should engage with him. All should seek to push him to the fringe, where he belongs.” wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

@MichaelShurkin Literally no one, including the person you're responding to, said either. If you need straw men to make an argument you don't have much of one

I'm fascinated by how so many people believe either there was no antisemitism pre-1948, or that people magically stopped hating Jews in 1948 only to begin hating Israelis (but not Jews!), with there being no connection whatsoever.
noah kulwin@nkulw

Contemporary antisemitism in the US is mostly due to the actions of the state of Israel. Hatred of Jews wouldn’t be the problem it is had we not let Israel slap the Star of David on the flag of a nation that ethnically cleansed 750K ppl at the moment of its birth

Israel-myopic obsessives seem to have missed that the Gulf Arab states, especially Mohammad Bin Salman, also reportedly lobbied Trump to bomb Iran, and are now urging him to go all the way with regime change. Learning this might upset the weird cartoon world they've constructed

@ElliotMalin @BernieSanders Here's the deal: let in the journalists and independent observers Israel's been preventing from entering for three years - the one's Iran's let in since the war started - or shut the F up. Simple as

The reason is because Israel didn’t commit genocide, @BernieSanders. Not a single accusation of genocide has been able to establish that the elements are present. They’ve all shifted the analysis to fit their predetermined conclusion. That tells us more about the accusers than the accused.
Marco Foster@MarcoFoster_

Bernie Sanders: “To give another 20K bombs to a country which committed genocide in Gaza happens to be among many other things, forget the moral issue, happens to be in violation of American law. You don’t sell arms to countries that violate international law and human rights. Clearly Israel has done that. Why anybody in their right minds would want to continue funding Israel is beyond me”

1. Israeli public shelters are for all Israelis, irrespective of race, religion, or ethnicity 2. Beit Awwa (where the women were hit by the missile) is in Area B and under Palestinian Civil Jurisdiction. The Palestinian Authority has the responsibility to build shelters there 3. Most shelters in Israel are privately built. Israeli building codes require apartments and other structures to have them. Perhaps you want Israel to just annex Beit Awwa, provide services there, and impose its building codes? It's literally on the Green Line. And as of 2006, two thirds of the people there either worked in Israel or resold refurbished Israeli goods to Palestinians.

Four Palestinian women were killed by an Iranian missile in Hebron. Two points must be emphasized: A) Iranian missiles are fired indiscriminately at civilians in both Palestine and the Gulf. B) Apartheid Israel provides shelters and protection exclusively for Jewish Israelis.

@JacobALinker (4) I'd like them to stop stealing their taxes and then feigning unawareness of why the PA can't build shelters. And while they're at it maybe let people in a desert catch rainwater

(9) I’ve read Morris, Pappe, Karsh, Finkelstein, Sand, Shaim, Lowestein, Judt and more. That doesn’t make me an expert, but it does (apparently) make me more familiar with the scholarly and historical work on the subject, enabling me to avoid simultaneously citing Benny Morris and Efraim Karsh (whom Morris correctly described as a producer of “distortions, half-truths, and plain lies”). IMHO, Karsh is more of a polemicist, than a historian, a “Herzl, Nordau and Jabotinsky said it was a colonial project but that words out of favor now so it wasn’t colonialist” grifter. You needn’t agree, suit yourself. But Do us all a favor, and read up on “the actual history of Israel”. Whatever you’re working with is not it.

(8) So yes, by the 1900s there was a pre-existing Jewish community, alongside Christian and (majority) Muslim communities in Jerusalem. But this (pre-Israel) history puts the lie, and in fact puts to shame  (makes a shonda of, so to speak, of ), the anti-Muslim propaganda pushed by Jewish immigrants from Europe whose genetic connection to, say David, or Joshua, is (if compared to the average Palestinian) remote, to say the least. And the Jewish communities that thrived - with religious autonomy both imperfect and otherwise unknown in the world - in places like Istanbul and Salonica.
