The brilliant Fauda co-creator and writer @issacharoff on Mark Ruffalo and antizionists at an event tonight in aid of the Tel Aviv University Trust:
‘Mark Ruffalo, saying genocide, genocide. You know that there's a kind of people that are ignorant. There are some people that are stupid. He is a rare combination of those two.
Sorry to say that. Do you understand what that means, genocide? Do you, as a lead actor, understand that when Israel allows every day 600 trucks of food and supply to go into Gaza, they are not intending or planning to kill the people of Palestine?
Do you understand?
If more people were born during the war in Gaza than died, then no one was trying to eliminate those people, and the only ones that were trying to commit genocide were the Hamas people.
What is about this guy and many other people don't get it? Even some Jewish people don't get it. Why? Because it's kind of cool and nice to come on stage and say ‘fuck this’ and ‘fuck Israel’.
I believe some day something way bigger will happen to make them understand reality better and won't surrender to all kinds of slogans and cliches and lies that are being spread.’
You can’t pray in a moving vehicle. You can’t pray on wheels. You can’t pray towards another human being. You can’t pray in a place owned by someone else without explicit permission (look up “ghasb” in Islamic Jurisdiction.) You can’t pray to any direction other than Mecca (a moving vehicle changes that direction!) You can’t pray in a place you aren’t a hundred percent sure isn’t najis (a dog walking on that train makes it najis and your prayer is not acceptable.) You can’t pray in a loud, noisy place. You can’t pray anywhere that you might get distracted. You can’t pray while people are walking in front of you. You can’t pray if you aren’t completely clean and the ground you’re praying on is also completely clean. Do you get it or do you need me to continue? This isn’t a matter of prayer and religion. This is purely a show of force and intimidation. Respond accordingly.
Consider how carefully Mamdani wrote his post about 9/11. He chose ‘died’ instead of ‘murdered’ and the particular phraseology of the post because he must have been concerned about offending his base. There is no other credible explanation.
Think about that. Who is the base that he is concerned about offending?
What New Yorkers would be offended to calling out the terrorists and terrorism of 9/11?
Concerning.
We’re closing out our @UNRWA Deep Dive Week with @unravelingunrwa.
Children taught songs glorifying martyrdom. A “temporary” agency still operating 75 years later.
Did October 7 expose decades of institutional failure?
Mayor Mamdani found time to oppose a Hindu gathering at Madison Square Garden.
Not traffic. Not crime. A Hindu event.
He is Muslim. Fine. He does not get to decide which faiths are allowed in the room.
Jews already know the pattern. Hindus just got the memo.
Christians should stop pretending they are exempt.
Quote this and tag someone who still calls him “inclusive.”
