@mattyglesias Its not. And we know this because they were out cheering on October 7th the next day. The blood was still warm from the massacre of Jews and people were accusing Israel of genocide. You're just justifying your own bigotry right now.

The belief that global perceptions of Israel are totally unrelated to Israeli conduct is extremely widespread, both in Israel and in American pro-Israel circles. It's also wildly implausible and helps explain a lot about both Israeli behavior and Israel's cratering reputation.
Peter Savodnik@petersavodnik

There was little, if anything, Israel could have done to resist the leftist, identitarian turn. Once you view the Jewish state as an outpost of settler-colonial white supremacist villainy, it really doesn’t matter whether it’s good at politics or diplomacy.

@RoKhanna Ro Khanna is team Anti Jew. That's why his focus is exclusively on Israel.

@Mike_from_PA Bernie Sanders was one of the last people to endorse Harris. Same with AOC. They waited over a month and half after Harris was the official nominee to endorse her. And instead of supporting her campaign after that, they attacked it because it wasn't hostile enough towards Jews.

@unojen_wood Did the UK allow a third party militia to shoot rockets into France over the last 60 some years in your scenario?

If France popped over to the UK & decided that from Kent to the Thames was now a 'buffer zone', put their solders on the ground & started blowng up the area while demanding the inhabitants move that would be called a military invasion & self defence would be put into play.

Thank you to those so eager to support the campaign that they rush the stage and try to (illegally) hand me cash.

@Tart__Bart @AlanRMacLeod You literally can though. And the restrictions that you are going to point to apply to every group because you are applying your understanding of marriage and the legal framework behind to a completely different situation. Every single time its the most ignorant bigots.

@mehdirhasan For some added context, Israel is the nation of the Jewish people so they are inseparable. Medhi hates that more than anything because Jews aren't slaves to Muslims. Mehdi is also an active and consistent Holocaust denier who uses the war in Gaza to waterdown what genocide is

@JillFilipovic It has nothing to do with Netanyahu. You would have found another Jew to blame if he wasn't there.

Bibi didn’t just torch support for Israel in the US; he squandered every shred of goodwill Israel ever had, made the country an international pariah, and led the slaughter of thousands of innocents. One of the most disastrous leaders any country has seen in my lifetime.
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid

Bibi torched U.S. support for Israel for a generation. Older Republicans and white Evangelicals are the last groups to hold majority favorable views of Israel, according to recent Pew polling, @AndrewSolender and Justin Green write for @axios axios.com/2026/04/18/isr…

@JuliaCarmel__ She says as she uncritically defends Arab ethnostates and cheers on the creation of another arab ethnostate at the cost of the millions of Jewish lives and the sole Jewish nation.

Advocating for an ethnostate should have no place in our country, or anywhere else. There is simply no excuse for any elected official, a Democrat no less, to capitulate to this barbaric, hateful ideology.

“There’s no peace in the Middle East bc Palestinians refuse to believe in the Torah. The Torah says it’s our [Jews] land. And that’s why America must always stand with Israel.” Wow. He just came right out and said it.

@ChrisVanHollen Senator, what is your proposal for Israel dealing with the some 14,000 rockets Hezbollah has fired at Israel since 2000?

Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he wants to do in Lebanon what was done in Rafah.

I've seen firsthand how the Netanyahu government razed Rafah to the ground.

No American taxpayer dollars should be used to support this.

@AaronRegunberg Getting upset about something someone didn't say is definitely a choice. The leftists are never beating the antisemitism allegations.

It is simply unacceptable for this man to continue leading — and being a national face of — the Democratic Party. Morally, but also politically. If we want to maximize our chances of defeating MAGA, we need (good) Dem senators to step up and call for new leadership.

@BergerPosts That claim has never been debunked. In fact orginizations like the UN and Amnesty International had to swallow their Jew hatred and admit it happened.

The now debunked claims of Hamas “Mass rape” on October 7th (the first ever “mass rapes” with no actual rape victims identified) were always designed to justify the well-documented and actually existing rape and torture regime that Israel perpetrates against Palestinians If you fell for the Hamas mass rape hoax, you are an easy mark and the Israelis are grateful for your help

Some have said that claims that Israel uses dogs to sexually abuse prisoners are antisemitic blood libels. Unfortunately, there is a good deal of evidence. The organizations that confirmed this include B’Tselem, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Council on American-Islamic Relations. Here is the testimony of survivors: 1) "Nihad" (50-year-old father, Ofer Prison): In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Nihad testified that during a pre-dawn raid on January 14, 2024, Israeli soldiers ordered a police dog to sexually assault him. He described it as "the most painful moments of my life" and noted that the assault left him with deep physical wounds and long-term trauma. 2) "A.A." (35-year-old father, Sde Teiman): Arrested from Al-Shifa Hospital in March 2024, A.A. told the PCHR that soldiers took him to a corridor away from cameras, stripped him naked, and unleashed dogs that urinated on him before one dog raped him anally for approximately three minutes. He emphasized that the dog appeared "trained" and "knew exactly what it was doing". 3) "Halim Salem" (Pseudonym, West Bank Detainee): Testified to Middle East Eye that while he was forced to kneel with his head in a toilet, guards brought in a dog that "mounted and raped" him. He recalled that when he screamed, the guards beat him for "disturbing the dog". 4) "Wajdi" (43-year-old, Gaza Detainee): Recounted to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor that during interrogation, he was tied naked to a metal bed and raped by both a soldier and a dog while other soldiers filmed and mocked him. 5) Mohammed Arab (Al Araby TV Correspondent): While detained at Sde Teiman, he told his lawyer he witnessed soldiers forcing dogs to rape prisoners. He stated, "They teach their dogs to have sex with prisoners. Can you imagine?". 6) 18-year-old Gazan Detainee (Sde Teiman): Testified to PCHR that while he and other captives were being raped with bottles by soldiers, there was "also a dog behind us, as if the dog was raping us," serving as a form of extreme psychological and physical humiliation. 7) 48-year-old Detainee (Al-Shifa/Military Outpost): Reported witnessing a dog maul another man’s genitals until the victim bled to death in his arms. 8) The Committee to Protect Journalists and Middle East Monitor have collected dozens of testimonies from journalists who reported being subjected to "dog attacks" and sexualized torture during their detention. I talked to two guards in Sde Teiman, on more than one occasion. One had seen this happen and said it was too awful to talk about. The other said that he had heard about it from others and believed it was true. This happened. This is happening still. The evidence is too overwhelming.

@John_Hudson For some context, from April 2023 through the end of 2024 an estimated 150,000 in Sudan. If we estimate that half are women, that is 117 per day. Put your pearls down.

An average of at least 47 women and girls were killed each day during the war in Gaza, according to the UN, and more than 750 Palestinians have been killed in the six months since the ceasefire was announced in October. From Reuters:
