Is the Misreading of the Balfour Declaration the "Original Sin" of Zionism?: Reading Ahad Ha-Am’s 1920 essay “After the Balfour Declaration" https://t.co/TQzAhjoP0h
.@SenSanders: "Thomas Massie—somebody who I have very little in common with politically—was defeated by $9M in contributions from AIPAC and $7M from Trump megadonors. And what was the great crime that Massie committed?…He refused to be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump."
יום שני ברציפות: הפעילים והפעילות של משמר הסולידריות של תנועת עומדים ביחד מגנים על התושבים הפלסטינים בעיר העתיקה של ירושלים, בזמן שמתנחלים מגיעים באלפים מחוץ לעיר כדי להטריד, לקלל, לירוק, להרביץ ולהפגין עליונות יהודית. אפשר להתנגד למציאות הזו, אפשר לעמוד ביחד.
I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and synagogues in Queens, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht. This is not just vandalism — it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear. There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Their safety, dignity, and belonging are non-negotiable. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.
@JoJoFromJerz@atrupar Sure, but that is not realistically going to happen. So, instead what we need to do is all work like hell to win the midterms and make this bozo a total lame duck!!
This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.
The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.
@JoJoFromJerz@atrupar The President is even weaker on crime. In fact he is a total criminal himself, and if that is not "weak on crime," I don't know what the heck is.
@LakotaMan1 Actually, my personal belief is that the guy you call "Jesus" never actually existed. Yes, if he had existed he probably would have looked more like an Arab than a European, but since he never existed, and has always been only a myth, he didn't like like anything at all!!
TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren.
No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!
Due to the tremendously successful adaptation of Hezbollah in the war in Lebanon, the IDF has reached the conclusion that it cannot disarm Hezbollah. They have announced more modest goal, in line with the Israeli model of permanent war:
1) The IDF is now saying it would require occupying all of Lebanon to achieve, which is not currently feasible.
2) The new focus is on significantly weakening Hezbollah and creating a deep defensive buffer zone along the border
3) The IDF plans to demolish homes in the first row of southern Lebanese villages near the border, mirroring the "yellow line" buffer zone model used in Gaza. Residents of those villages will not be permitted to return under any future agreement
4) The goal has shifted from temporary raids to a sustained security presence. Minister Katz announced that the IDF will maintain security control over all territory up to the Litani River even after active ground operations conclude.
In other words, the new model for the war in Lebanon is identical to the one in Gaza. Ethnically cleanse the population, occupy permanently, keep the war going on forever.
If Trump wants boots on the ground in Iran, he should deploy the ICE agents. They've spent months in American cities strutting around like elite military forces. Let’s see how brave and courageous they really are. They can even wear their masks. Now is the time. #FreeIran#ICE
