Dunking on Sanches should absolutely win them friends among conservatives and non-lunatics in general, if we were still a sane country.
But that's not something a good friend of Candace Owens can be reasonably expected to grasp.
It seems that the sole goal of most of the online right at this point is to totally absolve leftists, muslims, and blacks every single time anything happens and shift all focus and blame to Israel instead. Which is to say they’re functionally leftists themselves.
Why Israel is worth supporting: "I think a 'free Palestine' would be a basket case anyway, and if I found myself among a people with a political culture that screwed up, I would support surrender to most foreign enemies or mass emigration."

If Michigan Jews decisively vote for El-Sayed despite his conspiratorial campaign which explicitly denied Israel's right to exist, hesitation to condemn an antisemitic terror attack, and sympathizing with Hezbollah supporters, I'm not sure what incentive any Democrat really has to publicly support Israel going forward.
Politicians want to win. Israel is incredibly unpopular with the Democratic base and increasingly unpopular with moderates/independents. If Jews don't punish El-Sayed by breaking in favor of Rogers, then that sends a message to Democrats that they should pander to the third-worldists and Islamists because that's where the electoral reward is and Jews will still vote for them anyways.
Further, I also think it empowers the burgeoning anti-Israel movement on the right. Young Republicans are already skeptical of Israel, and if Jews won't even consider supporting them because they value cosmopolitan liberalism above all else, then what is really the point of conservatives staunchly supporting Israel from an electoral perspective?
If Jews don't start approaching Israel with as much urgency and salience as abortion or gun rights voters, then they are in danger of becoming politically irrelevant. And this is bad, because third-wroldists and Islamists are going to fill the void.
In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!
Abdul El-Sayed is mixing populism and anti-Zionism in a way that has little precedent in the Democratic Party—and the ramifications of his conspiratorial rhetoric may be difficult to control, @jonathanchait argues. https://t.co/HcJI1bK5NY
“I’m done with supporting Ukraine”
Cenk Uygur hates Jewish people so much that he’s willing to end US support for Ukraine because they attacked an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea.
Is Cenk ignoring the fact that Iran supplied Russia with the Shahed drone (something that has killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians and children btw) or does his hatred for Jewish people overcome the rational part of his brain?
Imagine unironically simping for Iran holy shit Cenk you’ve lost the plot.
I prefer a binational state, with an unlimited right of return for North African Muslims to their ancient homeland, Al-Andalus.
I'm not being anti-Spanish! Just anti-Spainishism!
I think we are long overdue for a Two-State solution in Spain.
The indigenous Spaniards who just moved in from Morocco deserve to live in peace, dignity, and be funded by Spain.
@VerminusM Seeing how Islamic immigrants treat Spaniards should give a shiver to any Spaniard who wonders what Islamic terrorists plan for Jews in Israel.
Oxymoron, the Nazis quite famously sided with the Palestinians.
Not only did Amin al-Husseini meet with Hitler, he raised a legion of Muslim Waffen-SS soldiers.
Oh dear. This pro Hamas shill guy Mehdi’s reading comprehension is as poor as his understanding of the genocide convention.
We're laughing at *you*, Mehdi, not dead Gazans. You and your silly, utterly disproven fantasy genocide. We're laughing at your stupidity and callousness.
Hasan Piker says that The Odyssey is Turkish because it took place on modern Turkish land
Turks were in Central Asia when The Odyssey took place
Absolute clown
When I was active in @AIPAC years ago, I met with a very liberal Democratic member of Congress.
Before I had a chance to make the case for the US-Israel relationship, she said something that has stayed with me.
“The meeting before you, and the meeting after you, are special interests looking for a provision in a bill to boost their companies and line their pockets.
You guys take time away from your work to come here and make a principled case for what you believe to be in the national interest. It’s so refreshing when you visit.”
And Emma Ashford explicitly supporting the Vancelings in the GOP and attacking Graham and the "Neocons" is a pretty good indicator of what actual, good Conservative foreign policy would be.
That is to say, the opposite of hers.
Do you think Iran might have decided to integrate itself into the war in Ukraine when it decided to spend 5 years bombing Ukrainian cities with Iranian made and designed Shahed drones?
