@GoodWins63270 @lelemSLP@nosmh_x They expelled and/or massacred EVERY JEW from East Jerusalem, the West Bank & Gaza, & then went on to do the same in almost every Moslem country. Jewish refugees got no permanent refugee status, billions in world aid for 75 years, reparations for their confiscated $ & property.

I am a Zionist. Many people out there don’t seem to understand what a Zionist is - and what it isn’t - so here you go.
I believe in the existence of a Jewish home land, Israel, in the land of Judea, where it currently is.
As a Zionist, I do not automatically agree with or support everything the country does, nor do I automatically agree with every government, every politician, every decision.
As a Zionist, I am free to criticize policies and governments of Israel, just the same as I am to criticize the Canadian government or the American government or any other government.
I can believe that the Israelis who spit on Christians should be charged, and I do.
I can believe that the violence in Judea and Samaria needs to be stopped, and I do.
I can believe that every single Israeli, regardless of religion, who commits rape, should be tried and should face the harshest punishments, and I do.
I can believe that every single war crime committed by an Israeli should be prosecuted, and I do.
I can believe that Israel should be held to the same standards of every other nation, and I do.
The only things I don’t do, because I’m a Zionist?
Call for the destruction of the only Jewish nation in the world.
Hold them to a far higher standard than everyone else, just because they’re Jewish.
Spread false propaganda about them, just because they’re Jewish.
Because even though you pretend that’s “antizionism”, it’s just masking your true motives.
Jew hatred.
We haven't forgotten that the DOJ is withholding 50 percent of the Epstein files.
Not only do we want Blanche, Patel, and others to appear before our Committee, but we also need the remaining 3 MILLION documents to conduct a thorough investigation and get justice for survivors.
In March 2025, Trump's USDA cancelled $300 million in land-access grants for American farmers — many of them farmers of color — and justified it with a list of "wasteful" purchases: a barbecue smoker, a gazebo, massages, and a $20,000 budget for ink pens.
The 49 terminated grantees say those line items never existed.
Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins cancelled roughly $1 billion more in local-food money the same month, leaving Pennsylvania farmer Dan Hunter and the food banks he supplied with crops already in the ground. Here's who actually paid for it — and why the USDA's own appeals office may have given the game away.

Ryan Fournier, 30 yr old co-founder of ‘Students for Trump’ was arrested for domestic violence. After being drunk & passed out, he punched his girlfriend 2-3 times with a closed fist when awakened and made threats including “I will kill everyone here.” https://t.co/eBUH1dRSn3
@catalinaperezdo Even more confusing…Palestinian flags for Pride. They literally throw LGBTQ folk off roofs.
Meanwhile, Israel has equal rights for all-including recognizing Gay marriages, and huge Pride Parades.
The Trump administration is proposing a new rule that would subject Americans' retirement accounts to substantial risk, all of which would be borne by the individual.
We must never let private equity and crypto scammers gamble with Americans’ retirement savings!
Hi Zack, I'm a British-born Israeli who was stabbed 18 times by a Palestinian terrorist. Another chopped up my friend in front of my eyes. One got out in the hostage deal. They were paid a salary for years by the UK gov.
Could you tweet: "all of this is a horrific crime. He should be held to account."
Thanks
I'm utterly horrified that a group of students in Boulder justified the deadly firebombing attack last year that targeted the Jewish community and encouraged others to follow the murderer's "act of resistance."
Anti-Semitic rhetoric like this continues to put the Jewish community at risk and paves the way for exactly the kind of hate-fueled violence we witnessed that day.
This behavior is a disgrace and should be denounced by every Coloradan and American. This is not who we are.
In less than 18 months, MAGA has managed to bring back measles. They defunded the Ebola monitoring program that likely resulted in an what is an emergent pandemic. Now, they’ve allowed the food supply to be contaminated by a deadly parasite not seen in the U.S. since 1966.
“14,000 babies will die in 48 hours.”
That claim didn’t come from a random account online. It came from the United Nations, and major media outlets ran with it.
The problem? It wasn't true.

Temple Albert, New Mexico's largest synagogue, was attacked last night, along with the nearby JCC.
Nobody was hurt, and the suspect is in custody. Federal law enforcement is involved.
There is no news coverage; not local, not national. Zero. Zilch.
Pulte referred Lisa Cook and Letitia James for criminal prosecution over mortgage document errors. Scott Bessent committed the same errors. No referral. No investigation. Bessent is in the cabinet.
Same paperwork. Three people. Three completely different outcomes based entirely on who they are to Donald Trump.
That is the man now running 18 intelligence agencies. The willingness to weaponize regulatory authority selectively wasn't a disqualification. It was the job interview.
On This Day — June 4, 1918
Emir Faisal meets Chaim Weizmann — and expresses support for a national home for "our [Jewish] cousins by blood."
In the middle of World War I, the leader of the Arab Revolt, Emir Faisal (son of Sharif Hussein of Mecca), sat down with Chaim Weizmann, the rising head of the Zionist movement.
Faisal told Weizmann he saw “the necessity for cooperation between Jews and Arabs” and acknowledged “Jewish claims to territory in Palestine.”
He added that the country could absorb large-scale Jewish immigration and development without harming Arab peasants.
Faisal even stated:
“No true Arab can be suspicious or afraid of Jewish nationalism ... For you have all the knowledge of Europe, and are our cousins by blood.”
This meeting marked the beginning of what looked like a promising understanding between Arab leadership and the Zionist movement. Six months later, Faisal signed a formal agreement with Weizmann supporting the Balfour Declaration and large-scale Jewish immigration.
For a brief moment in 1918, Arab-Zionist cooperation seemed not only possible — but beneficial to both sides.
History took a different path.
But on this day, the door was open.
