Just reposting this here so there’s an indelible record when everyone later pretends they didn’t see it coming:
I told you so. This is a bad idea.
Handing privileged access to U.S. defense technology to a foreign government under the branding of “strategic partnership” is not America First, not fiscal responsibility, and not national security. It is exactly how foreign entanglements become permanent obligations — paid for by American taxpayers and justified after the fact by the same people who created the dependency.
@JeninYounesEsq That's bc to her telling the truth is anti-Semitism, so getting AI to suggest an alternate 'truth' is combating it, and so she is quite OK with that....she doesn't sense the irony in the slightest.
Avi Lewis: And now 3k people killed in Lebanon in war crimes of now a significant scope and not to mention the global destabilization of its attack on Iran which by many accounts it dragged the United States into. This is a rogue state, Israel.
“We are now 716 days into a genocide and yet Israel are allowed to participate in footfall tournaments.
WHY ARE THERE DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!”
-Eric Cantona
"We are seeing a pro-Israel crash-out of EPIC proportions"
Ryan Grim of Drop Site News breaks down what the June 2 primary results mean for the future of AIPAC in politics and how support for genocide has become a litmus test of whether politicians will stand up for their constituents.
Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.
Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.
After Israel occupied Gaza & the West Bank in 1967, it deported Palestinian intellectuals, educators & politicians who (peacefully) resisted Israeli domination.
In 1969, Jordan stopped allowing Israel to do this at border crossings.
So Israel started dumping Palestinians in the desert. They sent 800 Palestinians onto a virtual death march from 1969-1973.
Yusuf 'Abdullah 'Udwan was deported this way. Here's his survival testimony:

Peter Beinart reads the account of a Palestinian family in Gaza, urging Jewish audiences to confront the human reality of Israel’s assault on Palestinian life in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

@Villgecrazylady This one is as clear as the map on the wall. Just look at where the Latani River crosses towards, they want that to be the new northing Israeli border. It is seen as theirs.
"The politics of hate and division just isn't going to work anymore."
On Tuesday night, Dr. Adam Hamawy officially became the Democratic nominee for New Jersey's 12th Congressional District. A decorated former U.S. Army combat trauma surgeon, he famously refused to evacuate Gaza in May 2024 until a replacement team of incoming doctors could safely enter to take over patient care.
Drop Site's @JulianAndreone spoke with Hamawy right after his win to talk about how Gaza inspired him to enter the race — and what his victory means.
Megyn Kelly: “No One Wants This War”
“They get universal health care, free education, subsidized universities, monthly child allowances, unemployment benefits, national pension, disability benefits, maternity benefits, and housing subsidies. We don’t get half this. They’re suffering. They can’t afford groceries, they can’t afford gas prices, they can’t afford homes, they can’t afford health care, and we’re giving $16.2 billion to Israel for just one of those line items. We’re not going to help our own people."
@megynkelly
Israel bombed a city in Lebanon. Then they attacked the paramedics arriving to help. Israel then attacked a second ambulance crew. Then a third. A quadruple tap. All targeted. Multiple war crimes. All in a day's work for the most moral army in the world.

Prof. John Mearsheimer :
A number of European leaders have basically said we should fight to the last Ukrainian, which I find morally sickening.
The Ukrainians are going to lose this war. They should have quit a long time ago for their own good.
Ukraine is in a demographic death spiral, and we're encouraging them to throw bodies into the meat grinder when they're going to lose anyway.
The British, French, and German leaders are really enthusiastic about continuing the war, but that's because their people are not dying.
I'm prepared to go to jail over this.
My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.
My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.
I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.
I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.
I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.
Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.
No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.
The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.
The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.
If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.
If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.
Πέρυσι, ο φίλος μου Hasan Piker μίλησε στο Oxford Union. Με τρόπο πειστικό (https://t.co/VRoAdfrkT3) ανέλυσε την άνοδο του αντισημιτισμού, του φασισμού και την επικίνδυνη ταύτιση του αντισημιτισμού με τον αντισιωνισμό.
Την ερχόμενη Παρασκευή, ο Wolfgang Munchau και εγώ επρόκειτο να τον φιλοξενήσουμε σε ζωντανή εκδήλωση στο Kings Cross Town Hall το Λονδίνου
Δυστυχώς, η κυβέρνηση Starmer αποφάσισε να απαγορεύσει στον Hasan την είσοδο στη Βρετανία. Γιατί; Χωρίς καν να το πουν ρητά, υπαινίχθηκαν πως ο Hasan είναι..., αντισημίτης!
Καλώς όρισες στο κλαμπ, Χασάν – η απαγόρευσή σου μου φέρνει στο νου τα γεγονότα πριν από δύο χρόνια, όταν μου απαγορεύτηκε η είσοδος στη Γερμανία για το φρικτό έγκλημα της διοργάνωσης, μαζί με Γερμανούς Εβραίους, συνέδριου με τον ανεπίτρεπτα ανατρεπτικό τίτλο «Για Μια Δίκαιη Ειρήνη στη Μέση Ανατολή».
Ζούμε μέρες που, όπως αποδεικνύεται καθημερινά, σου προσάπτουν την ρετσινιά του αντισημίτη αν αντιτίθεσαι στην γενοκτονία των Παλαιστινίων και στην ιδεολογία που την οδηγεί. Και, κάπου εκεί, "φιλελεύθεροι" που δήθεν κόπτονται για την ελευθερία του λόγου ποιούν την νήσσαν...
