Love Texas. Love Sports. We follow and RT news related to sports (and temporarily politics) in the Lone Star State, sometimes with opinions, sometimes without.
Happening now:
Thousands gather in Tel Aviv to condemn yesterday’s pogrom in Huwara and reject the extremist agenda of the kahanist, pro-settler and apartheid government.
We demand peace and justice, while the government wants chaos. But we shall fight - and we shall overcome.
Happy Monday! Here are some facts that Fox + @GOP don’t want you to know:
-7 of the 10 states most dependent on the federal govt are Red
-Blue counties equal 70% of US GDP
-Blue states equal 61% of US GDP
-Red states equal 39% of US GDP
So which party is fiscally conservative?
🧵 Over the past 24 hours, many have been commenting on why I and other Israelis are outraged by the pogrom settlers committed in Huwara, and don’t mention as much about the killing of the two Israeli settlers, the brothers, earlier that day. Here are a few thoughts on that:
The attacks in Huwara tonight are not “vigilante” actions. The Israeli settlers burning down Palestinian homes and attacking Palestinians in the street are supported by the Israeli military.
The same Israeli military that receives $3.8 billion every year from United States.
The Biden administration's policy of ignoring Netanyahu's far-right allies and pretending they can just do business with him, is literally going up in flames tonight.

Two weeks ago Sameh Aqtash was saving lives in Turkey as part of Palestine Rescue Mission.
Tonight he has been murdered in Za'tara, Nablus by Israeli thugs.
"Shooting Palestinians is becoming a National Sport for the Israeli Army…. Irish Government must go beyond mere condemnation," said Irish Sinn Féin politician Chris Andrews.
I’m sure this is a picture of Senator Schumer demanding the name of the Israeli soldier who shot and killed US citizen Shireen Abu Akleh, right? Right?
Meanwhile America has prevented Palestinians from holding Israel accountable at the UN for committing war crimes against the Palestinian ppl. The hypocrisy emanating from DC is too much.
Over 150 students protested Oxford Union’s invitation of Israel's ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, citing Israel’s human rights violation against Palestinians.
Security was high at the event, with students reporting racial profiling and intimidation

Leader of the Kahanist wing of @TheDemocrats@SenSchumer flies to Israel to support Netanyahu and his new Kahanist government, fulfilling his decades-long effort to see the Jewish community's most racist and most murderous faction seize the reigns of power
Blatant double standards!
These European countries that voted for the UN res. demanding ending #Russia's occupation in Ukraine are the very same that REFUSED to vote for the UN res. on examining the legality of #Israel's belligerent occupation!
Int. law is NOT a pick & choose!
People like MTG in re: #Ukraine. The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated.
That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost .
I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.
As I emphasised in #EuropeanParliment last month, #Israel is a lawless Terrorist State which has no respect for International Law and no respect for the Human Rights of #Palestinians - And they carry out atrocities on a daily basis because #US and #EU have no problem with it...
