@hanraha_o@mindyisser There’s no need to frame them as of a country they’re not from when they’re Israelis . Their ancestors stayed behind rather than evacuate so the armies could genocide the Jews
It’s too bad that you want to act high and mighty when being so obtuse
@hanraha_o@mindyisser Lebanons citizens aren’t under Israeli rule or “apartheid” and yet Hezbollah still attacks Israeli civilians. Until you actually have a solution to deal with Hamas instead of celebrating them as freedom fighters it’s all moot
This makes me laugh.
“I smoked crack and slept with prostitutes at a cheap motel. I suffered no financial consequences and my dad pardoned me to get me out of legal trouble.
Do I look like I’m part of the elite oligarch class?”
Yes. That’s exactly what it looks like.
@DavidSchwartz70@calmasabomb2@HunterBiden You can’t seriously look at his behavior on twitter and say he’s moved on in a healthy way or taken responsibility it’s all insincere
I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.
As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.
But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.
After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?
Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?
Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).
Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?
The editors said it was too much, they explained.
The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.
It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.
And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.
Still fawning after all these years.
"By the time your daughter is twelve, she may already believe that the women fighting for rights in Iran are the aggressors. That the gay teenager fleeing Gaza deserves to stay there. That Western democracy is the world’s villain. Not because she was told. Because the story was built into her education, piece by piece, before she had the tools to question it. And the story she will learn has no nuance. No complexity. No "on the other hand".
There is one oppressor and one victim, and those roles never switch, never evolve, and are never questioned. The moral universe she inherits will be pre-assembled, hermetically sealed, and resistant to evidence.
This is indoctrination with better branding."
In 1991, the Muslim Brotherhood wrote a plan to take over Western societies - with schools, With media, With grants.
They called it "civilizational jihad."
Their words, not mine (!).
Qatar is the money behind that plan, and they just got caught spending $65M inside American classrooms.
This is just another type of warfare.

I can't believe Rachel Timoner's many, many anti-Netanyahu speeches, and absolute silence about the assault of religious Jews, didn't stop her neighbors from spitting in her face. What a shocking and surprising turn of events that no one could have forseen.
@Maxlikesrocks I know he doesn’t have to but it would be nice to see Frantzman weigh in considering he wrote puff pieces for him a few years back when he was unknown. Especially after yesterday where he libeled and said Israel and Bibi is buying the race against him
@shlumpsters Ofc nobody did anything. They act tough when harassing kids or random Jews because that’s what the movement is actually about when you get down to it
