When you’ve won the Ayatollah, you’ve lost America.

Harvard’s commencement speaker, who compared Israel to Nazi Germany, said in front of tens of thousands of people that “I was called antisemitic by power and money because they want power and money.” Antisemitic tropes is the perfect way to encapsulate the shitshow of this year

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

I’d hardly call forming an illegal encampment, screaming for a violent uprising, and refusing to leave when asked by the police “civil disobedience.”

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

“I am deeply disappointed by the intolerance for freedom of speech and the right to civil disobedience on campus.”

A student speaker at Harvard’s commencement went off-script to discuss the protestors who were not allowed to graduate:

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Regarding what should be done about some of the images we saw today. Americans have the right to have despicable views and express them openly.

With that said:

1) There is no right to wear a mask and hide your identity. Masking at violent protests has been a major source of the problem since 2020.

2) There is no right to block traffic. Those who do so shouldn't just be arrested and removed (the minimum), but must face serious charges that actually get pursued.

3) There is no right to harass others, engage in violence, or protest on private property after you were asked to leave. Those who do so must face legal consequences.

4) Non-Americans do not have a right to be here. If they are openly expressing support for designated terrorist groups, that should absolutely be part of the consideration for their visa renewals and green card applications.

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

Every sane American (left or right) should reflect on how and why these people 1) are in the country, 2) able to vote (i.e., are citizens), and 3) are causing Biden to bend over backwards to win their votes

At International Al-Quds Day Rally in Dearborn, Michigan Protesters Chant “Death to America!”; Speakers at the Rally: America Is One of the “Rottenest Countries” on Earth; Israel Is ISIS, Nazis, a Cancer

[Ellie Cohanim @EllieCohanim]

You know why “Death to America” is trending?
Because the Michigan voters that @POTUS Biden is bending over to appeal to, are getting empowered, bolder and completely honest about their aspirations!

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

@fred_guttenberg I am not saying that he has no concern. What I am saying is that for the last few months, he has not given our hostages the focus that they deserve. He has failed to elevate this issue because he is concerned about getting reelected.

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

If you’re going to do a clean-up, do it well:

1) Israelis had a “choice” and chose Bibi in Oct 2022 - same time as our congressional elections

2) as to the call for a “fresh debate,” Bibi was leading in the polls yesterday by 10 points, so doesn’t seem that would change much

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The U.S. cannot dictate the outcome of an election.

That is for the Israeli public to decide.

As a democracy, Israel has the right to choose its own leaders.

But the important thing is that Israelis are given a choice.

There needs to be a fresh debate about the future.

[Michael Oren @DrMichaelOren]

Regardless of my opinion of Netanyahu and his fitness to serve, Senator Schumer’s call for new Israeli elections is deeply disrespectful of our democracy and sovereignty. Israel is an ally, not a vassal state. Along with the U.S., we’re one of the few countries never to have known a second of non-democratic government, and the only democracy never to have known a moment of peace. We certainly deserve that respect.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Hamas: cowards and rapists who hide in tunnels behind refugees.

Israel has the absolute right to pursue Hamas until it is dismantled in Rafah. Stop pretending peace in Gaza is possible without this end game.

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

Not surprised that @SenSchumer (who pretends to be a staunch supporter of Israel, despite his failure to block the Iran Deal) try to manipulate Israeli elections when the war would proceed almost identically were @gantzbe in power. Some might call this interfering in democracy…

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

@piersmorgan Notice how BBC uses the passive voice when it appears that in fact Hamas killed Palestinian civilians but the active voice when asserting it’s the IDF.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

As protesters in New York called for Israel to stop the fight against Hamas, Hamas released this video from Gaza of young Israeli girls who were brutalized in captivity.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Getting upset over Israel taking out multiple senior terrorists responsible for countless innocent deaths and also wanted by the US is a pretty good way to confirm that your real complaint is not the way Israelis are defending themselves, but that they are doing so at all.

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

You don’t get to have no problem when the university takes a political stance on nearly everything and then run madly toward “political neutrality” when it comes to Jews defending themselves from bloodthirsty terrorists.

[The Harvard Crimson @thecrimson]

A growing number of Harvard affiliates are urging the University to adopt an official position of political neutrality in the wake of backlash over the administration’s response to the Israel-Hamas war.

✅ Hostages

Ran out of characters to mention them?

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

@KenRoth The real question is, would Palestinian leadership be willing to let Jews live under its rule? Past evidence would suggest not

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

The idea of a unified “international community” is a myth - it’s what leads to the inception of shamelessly antisemitic (and evil) organizations like the UN that claim to represent the “international community” and human rights while propping up some of the world’s worst actors.

[David Brody @DBrodyReports]

I keep hearing that Israel is “losing support of the international community.” Why in the world would I give a rip what the “international community” thinks when these countries have detested Israel every step of the way? I don’t stand WITH the international community. I stand AGAINST it and WITH Israel. 🇮🇱

[Natalie Kahn @NatalieLKahn]

It’s not directed at individuals and isn’t “pervasive” since it’s just one incident, so it’s permitted in this context, according to elite universities.
