In a policy DESIGNED to make Gaza unlivable, Israel keeps more than a million HUMAN BEINGS - incl babies/kids/sick/elderly - in disintegrating tents & ruins of bldgs for YEARS now - leading to a humanitarian CATASTROPHE in bad weather.

The Israeli govt comment: glib snark.

About 24 hours from now... Fox News is suddenly going to remember that the National Debt has ballooned to over $40 TRILLION, and they're going to expect the Democrats to fix that

Friendly advice for Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff: preserve all documents, including metadata, emails, texts, instant messages, word processing files, spreadsheets, and database logs.

Haley Stevens and her fiancé doing the media rounds to openly lie about El-Sayed just days ahead of an election that will decide control of the Senate and the future of the county is absolutely about Haley Stevens. You aiding this anti-Democratic smear campaign is unconscionable.

If the Interior Minister of Japan started committing war crimes with our tax dollars we'd get to know him.

If you want to see how false accusations of antisemitism can be weaponized against critics of Israel, here's a glaring example: Mike Huckabee, an evangelical Christian, accuses Ed Miliband, who is Jewish and whose parents were Jewish refugees, of being antisemitic because he expressed concern about the entry of medication into the Gaza Strip: https://t.co/tGqIsgpy6h

1) A quick FYI, Micah -- Judaism has been around for a very long time. For the vast majority of that time, there has not been a state of Israel. The Jewish religion we have today is one that developed out of thousands of years of diaspora.

2) Yes, when mainline Jewish institutions aggressively declare that criticism of Israel equates to antisemitism and that the American Jewish community will stand with Israel no matter what crimes the state commits, a lot of people are going to start ascribing the Israeli regime’s horrifying conduct to all Jews. This is an obvious fact.

3) The logic of Zionism rests on the claim that Jewish safety necessitates a Jewish state. But tying the reputation of our people to the rogue government of an ethnostate is not making us safer. It’s making American Jews more vulnerable to the kind of antisemitic mass politics that we haven’t had to worry about in this country for a long time. That’s what my Jewish sons have to look forward to. We have every right to be mad at leaders like you who are contributing to that danger.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Honored to receive @VanHollenForMD’s endorsement. Sen. Van Hollen has been a fierce fighter in the Senate opposing Trump’s weaponization of ICE, standing up against the illegal war in Iran, battling special-interest money in politics, and building an economy that works for all, not the billionaire class.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

All we did was send our military to the other side of the world, bombed Iran's bridges and elementary schools, then imposed a military blockade to crush their economy and population.

Then, out of nowhere, these deranged monsters shoot one of our peaceful liberatory helicopters.

These people only understand force! They're like from the 8th century.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Just kind of left speechless at an invading army whining to the United Nations that the people they are invading — and killing their civilians by the thousands — are fighting back. This is a mystifying level of lack of self awareness

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

This relentless effort to replace “Israel” with “Jews” is disgraceful. Defend the state of Israel if you believe it can be defended, stop implicating millions of people who are not with you on this.

This, the conditions of disease deliberately inflicted on Palestinians in the camps, is a continuation of the genocide. These conditions are calculated to contribute to causing the physical destruction of a people.

They sabotaged Iran’s economy into collapse, infiltrated and armed protesters to riot and create mass casualties. Then inflated those numbers 10x to start an illegal war of destruction.

These aren’t conspiracy theories. These are confirmed facts and statements by officials.

[Bill Simonds @Bill_Simonds]

The President’s hands must be pried off the steering wheel.

If not, what is coming for the US and the world’s economy will be the clear responsibility of the VP, the Cabinet, and the Republican Senators.

Macro strategist Luke Gromen on oil and the global economy:

“The world economy cannot survive a 7 to 11% loss of oil supply. It will not survive.”

“We can debate: is Europe going to go first and collapse? Is Southeast Asia going to go first and collapse? Will America collapse first? But the global economy, it is a certainty, it will collapse if we keep oil supplies down 7 to 11%.”
