Be wary of those who offer simplistic solutions to complex problems, even more with people you admire. Find out how they treat those who disagree with them. Understand that they are also susceptible to bigotry & inflated self-importance, no matter their identity. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Not a parody account. Blocking a #Toronto roadway, as they’re used to, they prayed in the street, calling it a “sanctified space”. I think it’s more akin to “marking territory”, given there’s tons of places in which praying is more meaningful. And not inconveniencing others.

It's all just too much.

[Homo the Barbarian, itinerant cosmopolitan @RootlessDov]

There are times where it seems like it will never be too much to deal with. I don't understand how people with a worse lot in life than I have even manage it. Respect.

Tlaib has no bottom in her utter depravity. At least the rest of “the squad” didn’t stoop this low.

Might be her 2024 re-election strategy to gin up antisemitic progressives to get excited about turning out for a 74 year old woman who’s best known for being a serial fabulist and failed presidential candidate.

Pretty sad no one is taking a serious shot at her seat this cycle. She’s way out to the left of most MA voters on this. [latest Suffolk MA poll highlights via @NoahHonickman below https://t.co/zcXtnvTa68 ]:

After the expulsion of the Jewish residents of the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, an Arab commander remarked,
"For the first time in 1,000 years not a single Jew remains in the Jewish Quarter. Not a single building remains intact. This makes the Jews' return here impossible."

No you dumbass, it is Egypt and Hamas who arent letting people leave Gaza. Moron.

The fact that Hamas brought any conditions for the release of the hostages is already a violation of the ICJ ruling

[Michael Oren @DrMichaelOren]

When Secretary of State Blinken accuses Israel—inaccurately, unfairly, and libelously—of dehumanizing Palestinians, he dehumanizes us and contributes to the delegitimization of Israel and the demonization of Jews worldwide.
Thank you, Secretary Blinken, for resupplying us with ammunition and standing up for our right to self-defense, but without legitimacy we will be hard pressed to use that ammo or exercise that right. Dehumanizing us endangers our security and possibly our existence.

@RavSchluss Love.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Netanyahu gave an excellent speech today, rejecting Hamas's terms, saying that accepting them would lead to another massacre like October 7. It is absolutely crucial not only to reject the Hamas terms but also to make clear they are unacceptable and are not a basis for talks.

[Aboud D. @CanuckAboud]

May. They. Burn. In. Hell.

[BubbieJ @j_bubbie]

Pathetic and unemployable.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

The head of the Shin Bet has told the Israeli cabinet that 60-80% of all humanitarian aid is going to Hamas. That is sustaining their war effort. This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. What on earth is the Netanyahu government doing?

The solution is, of course, not to starve the people of Gaza. It’s to take over the distribution points and hand aid to the people of Gaza directly.

[Joe Roberts @Joe_Roberts01]

Anti-Zionists claim a one state Palestine would protect its Jewish minority.

Like Lebanon protects Maronites?

Or maybe like Syria protects Assyrians, Christians, Armenians, Copts, or Kurds?

Perhaps like how Iraq protects Assyrians, Kurds, and Yazidis?

After every country in the region purged the Jewish minority, and after the horror of October 7th, it’s gaslighting to pretend this one example would be different.

There is only one pluralistic, liberal state in the Middle East—Israel isn’t perfect for minority groups by any means, but it’s far better than any alternative.

[Fred Aaron is Pops Culture @fredforthemets]

Israel has found a great spokesperson in @EylonALevy so of course Sara Netanyahu tried to get him fired because he was against Judicial Reform.
Playing politics in the middle of a war.

Ilan Halimi, 23-year-old #Jewish man, was kidnapped on this day in #Paris in 2006. Tortured for three weeks with videos sent to his family throughout his captivity. Dumped naked, his body was almost entirely burned. Ilan died en route to hospital. May his memory be a blessing.
