What Francesca really means, of course, is "stop being Jewish."
She thinks grief over a Hamas massacre is a pharmaceutical problem.
The craziest part is that many of her followers agree with her
Detroit News: "One of the eight people indicted Wednesday for allegedly conspiring to threaten University of Michigan leaders to pressure them to sever ties with Israel worked for the U.S. Senate campaign of Abdul El-Sayed"

It's been interesting watching the progressive triumphalism over Platner's primary win. As if the real race isn't against Collins and their guy isn't, well, all the things we now know he is.
Platner must be polling fantastically well against Collins in campaign polling for them to take the risk.
I've read lots of theories here: Collins is vulnerable among women over abortion because she voted to confirm Kavanaugh. But will that vulnerability hold if more women come forward against Platner (these kinds of scandals usually grow; they're personality patterns, not isolated failings)?
I've read that her "moderate" and "independent" brand is hurt because she's been in Washington for too long; Mainers are nothing if not independent, and have voted against Trump (splitting their electoral vote 3-1 for the Dems) for the last three cycles. But does Mainers' turn away from Trump mean they will turn as far as Platner's socialism, and overlook his problems?
And again, we can't assume the revelations are over. Until the primary, the revelations were helpful to Democrats, a potential save from a bad candidate. Now they're just campaign fodder for the other side.
I'm an outsider reading other people's analyses here. Not an expert. But I can't figure out why Democrats seem to think this is a good thing. Platner seems like an insane risk. Wouldn't a moderate, normative Democrat with just enough self-respect not to be the kind of creep that makes your skin crawl -- i.e., the average human -- have had a commanding lead and easy victory here?
@Mike_from_PA@PaigeSully88@Genevieve_207 You’re just like Platner, antisemitic
Platner is disgustingly on ever level: domestic violence abuser, rape apologist, Nazi & mercenary
He’s rich kid pretending to be working class
He’s gun nut against ban assault weapons
@Mike_from_PA@Genevieve_207 There are three people now who came forward. Two of them say that he knew about the tattoo. But it seems clear you are antisemitic, which probably drives your support of a woman abuser.
Graham Platner has shown incredibly bad judgment in his personal and professional life to date.
But if we just raise the stakes by 1,000 percent, I bet he’ll display impeccable judgment in the United States Senate.
Would you run into your local Chinese takeout screaming “hands-off Taiwan” to the counter girl?
Go to Brighton Beach and scream at random Russians about Ukraine?
No? That would be racist you say?
Then stop telling Jerry Seinfeld and other Jews to “free Palestine”.
3 years ago, an "American" Youtube channel pops up attacking me. Odd. America loves Nas Daily.
Today, @EllaTravelsLove investigation shows this channel is based in Qatar.
When will the West wake up.
During the Holocaust, European Jews actually did petition for refuge in Alaska (Google the Slattery Report). They were denied and perished.
That’s exactly the point.
Jewish survival cannot depend on finding some piece of land where everyone else agrees Jews are allowed to live.
This needs to be said loud and clear.
Israel is not attacking Lebanon. They are targeting Hezbollah. An Iranian funded terror proxy that has struck Israel 2,000 times since the April ceasefire.
Israel has every right to defend itself. Don’t fall for the Iranian regime’s distraction.
I have no idea how he is considered "conservative" anymore. Carlson is outright praising Iran, a country which recently murdered tens of thousands of its own citizen protesters. If Iran is willing to murder its own citizens, why would they care about Palestinians?
