Not only is the Trump administration preparing to sell F-35’s to the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey 🇹🇷, US taxpayers already fund the training of the Muslim Brotherhood Air Force from Qatar 🇶🇦 — on American soil.

But Obama.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

The sale of F35s to Turkey would destroy the strategic balance in the Middle East.

Not because it would eliminate *Israel*'s qualitative edge, but because it would eliminate *America's.*

It would expose the United States' most advanced fighter jets to Russian technologies, because Turkey still holds Russia's S400 missile system, and sabotage America's aerial dominance.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

Lifting U.S. sanctions imposed after Turkey acquired the Russian S-400 missile system in 2017 and clearing the way to provide Turkey F-35 fighter jets would be a strategic mistake, undermining the security of the United States, Israel and NATO.

My heart is with the people of Ukraine. For the past few years, we've dedicated this moment during The Rhythm of My Heart to the strength, courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people. Every night, the crowd joins together in support. In light of the recent horrific attacks on Kyiv, I hope this small tribute reminds you that people all over the world continue to stand with you.

[Dumisani Washington @DumisaniTemsgen]

Yes. Democrats are trying to stop a Republican President from further arming the Muslim Brotherhood.

Republicans acting like this isn’t happening is COVID-era-level gaslighting.

He survived Gaza.

Now he's fighting an invisible battle, and he's finally not fighting it alone.

This IDF soldier who asked to remain anonymous is receiving healing and support through our brand-new PTSD Support House in the Galilee.

After being wounded in Gaza, losing a teammate who was like a brother, and returning home with deep emotional scars, he thought his life was over. Today, he's rebuilding, one day at a time, through community, care, and hope.

Your gift helps veterans like him to find healing, belonging, and the strength to keep going. ❤️

More anti-Jewish hate in Spain 🇪🇸: At the running of the bulls festival, a giant sign was unfurled, calling for the destruction of the country where over half of world Jewry lives.

Spain kicked out all its Jews in 1492. I guess they still don't want us to have anywhere to go.

[David Harris @DavidHarrisNY]

Why in the world is the Trump administration empowering the Pakistan-Qatar-Turkey triangle?

These 3 nations aren’t U.S. allies.

Far from it.

Nor do they share our values & interests.

Far from it.

Nor are they partners for peace, democracy & coexistence.

Far from it.

WHY???

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

1. Communism is utterly un-American.

2. Authoritarianism/fascism is utterly un-American too.

3. The Democratic Party is not Communist. Not yet. Not even close.

4. The Republican Party IS
authoritarian/fascist. RIGHT NOW.

So…which party is the greater threat to America?

Trump last week: Iran's leaders are "very smart," "not radicalized," "nice to deal with" and "very good."

Meanwhile, Iran's leaders vowed to kill him and Netanyahu, though oddly not JD Vance, three times last week.

Then last weekend, in Switzerland, we learned that not ony had we not killed Iran's top-tier, most dangerous leadership of Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian and Araghchi we're negotiating with them. In otherwords, the opposite of what the Trump Administration claimed.

Worse, we learned this weekend that Trump called off two planned Israeli missions to kill these people, and that Vance leaked news of Israel's planned strike against them to Iran ally Turkey's Islamic dictator, Erdogan, which scuttled it.

The most deadly Islamis leaders in the Middle East, Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian and Araghchi, are only alive because Trump and Vance keep protecting them.

Worse yet, we're now bizarrely allowing the free sale of oil with no primary or secondary sanctions for the first time in decades, something even Biden and Obama didn't dare to do, with no restrictions on how Iran spends the money.

That there are no restrictions on who and what Iran funds with it is explicitly spelled out in the MOU Trump signed.

The Wall Street Journal found this strange, too, asking this week why we don't at least freeze the money Iran makes from oil sales, as Biden and Obama did, to keep them from using it to kill us, our troops or America's ally countries in the ME.

We've now learned that Trump and Vance have also protected the leadership of US-designated terror groups Hezbollah (which murdered 19 US troops in the Kohbar Towers massacre) and Hamas from Isreali strikes on their leaders, operatives and troops by demanding Isreal stop.

Even worse, we learned this week that when we suddenly and bizarrely stopped this war with 2 weeks of bombing left in April, we left Iran's Hormuz sea lane military infrastructure largely intact, including radar facilities, missiles and missile launchers and military facilities they use to menance the Strait of Hormuz.

In otherwords, the power Iran uses to menace the cargo traffic in the strait is power Trump let them have. It's not a quagmire at all, it's a choice. Every day Iran threatens traffic in the strait is a day they do it because Trump has chosen, for whatever reason, to let them.

We've then used US military ships to escort tankers through, with transponders turned off, sneaking around to avoid Iranian detection by the very radar facilities we refuse to bomb, or selectively bomb when Iran does something to embarrass Trump.

Again, the whole thing is the most bizarre foreign policy 180 I have seen in my lifetime, from winning bigly, with ME countries lining up behind us, to an about face where we actually protect Iran's proxies and military assests from Israel and give them concessions they've never gotten before. All of it began the minute JD Vance got involved, at Iran's request. (They refused to negotiate with Rubio, now we see why.)

But the worst is Trump and Vance blocking Israel's planned assassination of Mohammad Ghalibaf, former header of the IRGC's airforce and the guy likely running all the warfare against us and ships in the Strait, so they could "negotiate" with him.

We could have finished this months ago by taking out the remaining 2,000 targets and most importantly the leadership, as Israel tried twice to do, but we chose to stop fighting in a very successful war and surrender, instead chosing a war of words (and leaks to the enemy) with Israel over an actual war with Iran.

The payback phase by Iran will be brutal, and we are funding it now.

Who knows what weapons Iran is investing in now. Hopefully we don't find out before the midterms.

The Egyptian Football Association posted a video titled: “The Secret to Victory.”

They openly state that the key to victory is to begin the match by cursing Christians and Jews.

Before each match, the team gathers to recite Quranic passages calling Christians and Jews infidels under Allah’s wrath.

Coptic Christians make up 15% of Egypt’s population, but they are not allowed to be part of the national team.

For some reason, FIFA thinks this is ok.

Turkey just banned a cruise ship carrying nearly 2,000 gay travelers, including Broadway legend Patti LuPone, from docking in Kuşadası and Istanbul.

Officials called the passengers a threat to their "moral values."

Istanbul police then raided a gay nightclub that had operated for 18 years, because it planned to welcome the cruise's passengers.

A state punishing people for existing. If a different, specific Middle Eastern country did this, it would lead every front page for a week. Turkey, a NATO country does it and the human rights industry looks away.

Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.
Never shall I forget that smoke.
Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.
Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith for ever.
Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live.
Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.
Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live
as long as God Himself.
Never.

A riddle for Shabbat -
Name the country:

In the aftermath of World War I, as the great empires collapsed and the principle of national self-determination emerged to replace them, the defeated Ottoman Empire was to be divided into nation states for its different peoples.

One newly designated country rejected this international settlement, went to war to overturn it, emerged with roughly twice the territory envisioned for its new state, carried out a documented genocide against one indigenous people, expelled and displaced others, and ended up controlling most of the historic homeland of a people that had been promised a state. Another people promised self-determination never received a state at all. To this day, they remain the world’s largest stateless nation, and in have long faced restrictions on the expression of their national identity and barriers to political representation.

Who is this state?

The answer is Turkey.

Changing the name to Türkiye does not change this history.

The post-Ottoman settlement initially envisioned a much smaller Turkish state under the proposed Treaty of Sèvres. It also envisioned independent Armenian and Kurdish states, alongside Arab self-determination and Jewish self determination in the already recognized Jewish ancestral homeland.

The Turkish national movement violently rejected that settlement and through the Armenian Genocide, the destruction and expulsion of Armenian communities from much of their historic homeland, and the disappearance of the promised Kurdish state, was able to lay claim to a much enlarged Turkish state.

Armenia exists today, but largely as a post Soviet-era republic established east of the historic Armenian heartland, while much of historic Armenia remains within Turkey. The Kurds, meanwhile, remain divided among several states and without a sovereign homeland of their own.

So let’s hear it for Turkey, a country actually born of genocide, ethnic cleansing, land grab and ongoing political suppression of minorities. @HakanFidan

P.S. The Arabs attempted something similar against Jewish self determination, but unlike the Armenians and the Kurds, the Jews ultimately succeeded in preserving and defending their national self-determination in part of their ancestral homeland (and had Jews received their fair territorial share of the Ottoman Empire lands based on their population, Israel would be much larger).

"Scapegoating of Jews happens in failed societies"

Jacob Auchincloss is a Representative from Massachusetts. He is Jewish and a veteran of the war in Afghanistan. Here he is calling out antisemitism in BOTH parties.

He also calls out one of the most important drivers: the lack of regulation that allows social media companies to profit from hate.

The DSA want you to believe they have conquered the Democrats, but they are actually a fringe. We need more voices like Auchincloss, not just refusing to participate in the antisemitism-as-electoral strategy, but actively calling it out.

Beyond the staggering moral dimensions, the wholesale destruction of USAID in the blink of an eye last year will live as one of the worst foreign policy and national security blunders in American history.
@SamanthaJPower lists just some of the tragic, immediate costs and consequences below.
Longterm, it will mean a world less stable and free--with more violence and conflict; disease, pandemics and mass migrations. Neither oceans nor the military can shield the U.S. from the impacts.
AND this shameful and foolish abandonment will result in less respect for, and allegiance to, the United States of America.
