If you are a Democrat proudly tweeting out a column from conservative George Will published by Jeff Bezos’s oped page, then let’s be clear: you are telling on yourself.

[Tony Montana @9mmScorpion]

Check the date.

[Mike Figueredo @HumanistReport]

Remember when David Pakman scolded Rashida Tlaib for daring to suggest Israel would ever bomb a hospital?

It's funny that he decided to just not say anything about this again after hospital bombings became a regular thing.

When you see Gov. Whitmer (D-Blue Cross) try to stop @AbdulElSayed, remember:

Whitmer’s dad was Blue Cross’s CEO, she appointed a Blue Cross CEO co-chair of her transition & raked in more Blue Cross cash than any Mich candidate ever — as Blue Cross denies 1 in 6 medical claims.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

“Centrist” Dems who do bad things love to harp on “getting stuff done” because it conveniently leaves out how the stuff they get done is bad.

I hate when I break into someone’s home with a machine gun and then they steal my gun and commit a terrorist attack against me

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

POGROMS
against defenseless civilians
all over the West Bank (while Gaza is under fire).

Israeli civilians and army joining forces.

It is not just Nethanyahu and few "rotten apples".

THIS IS ISRAEL

ARMS EMBARGO NOW - STOP TRADE NOW

This is what intl law requires.

[Jason Overstreet @JasonOverstreet]

Unreal. Israel is trying to purchase the Michigan Senate seat and Hayley Stevens is for sale. This is so gross. This is not how you treat people.

[Linda Mamoun @mamoun_linda]

Israeli soldiers executed a group of Palestinians lying face down in a field today.

But you would never know that from this headline which doesn’t even mention ISRAEL.

[mustafa yazıcı @myzccc]

Gazze hastanelerinde gönüllü olarak görev yapan Japon hemşire, Japonya'ya döndükten sonra basın toplantısı yaptı:

"Gazze halkı neyi yanlış yaptı? Hayatın ağırlığı herkese eşit değil mi? Bu dünya bir türlü adil olamadı.

Bütün dünya onlara saldırıyor, birey olarak hiçbir hakları yok… Hem topraklarını işgal ediyorsunuz hem de onları öldürüyorsunuz.

Belki bu sözler bile dünyaya ulaşmayacak, hatta görmezden gelinecek… Filistin halkı varoluş mücadelesi veriyor…

Gazze halkının sesini dünyaya duyurmaya çalışacağım…”

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Actually I think this photo of Gretchen Whitmer is one of the single most powerful symbolic depictions of the contemporary Democratic Party leadership.
"decking yourself out in blue as if you're different but cooperating with Trump while pretending not to" says it all

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

If you are of a mindset that leads you to attempt to defend this barbarism you are soulless and dead to the core. You are lost.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

if you can't see this as a reputation-launder job for Blinken and Sullivan then I'm not sure what to tell you. Nothing has been more obvious––from the framing, the self-serving spin the Thwarted Humanitarian routine. Citations ep coming soon on this because its sophisticated work

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

This is Zionism

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

Take a look at this for fuck’s sake! You Fiends of Israel in Downing Street and Whitehall must be so effing proud of yourselves

[MUSAFIR @MusafirNafar]

Piers Morgan: “Iran is no threat to the US?”

John Mearsheimer: “No.”

Piers Morgan “They fund groups Israel doesn’t like”

John: “You’re baking the idea that Iran is a threat to Israel, and that any threat to Israel is a threat to the U.S. I don’t buy it.”

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

This is ridiculous propaganda that is trying to clean up the image of the war criminals who absolutely were aware of what Israel was doing and was planning on doing from day one. Jake Sullivan KNEW. Blinken KNEW. McGurk KNEW. They all knew everything we all witnessed - and even more. They lied every single day and they gave Israel a blank check to slaughter children and exterminate entire families.

The author of this piece - David D. Kirkpatrick - also co-wrote an October 2023 piece (“Hamas Propaganda) with Adam Rasgon that collapsed Palestinian journalists into Hamas. Horrific read that I taught in my class on the media & genocide as a prime example of genocide manufacturing.

By also making this about Netanyahu, the entirety of Israeli state and society - complicit and supportive of the extermination - is protected.

Absolute drivel and that the NYT stenographer for the Biden admin - Peter Baker - is sharing it, tells you what you need to know about the function of this piece.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Britain is still supplying arms to Israel. Britain is still supplying intelligence. Britain is still complicit in genocide.

[Silicon Valley Fodder @Playerinthgame]

Do people understand that the Editor-in-chief of The Atlantic is a former IDF prison guard from Long Island?

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Israel has now squeezed over 2 million Palestinians into 30% of Gaza. Gaza was already one of the most densely populated places on earth. Now, it’s basically a concentration camp. American media is going to go in a museum one day as the propagandists who covered up these crimes.
