The San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain opened with a giant banner saying “Destroy Israel”. Not surprising from a place where all Jews were forcibly converted, expelled or killed. History repeats itself.

[Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate]

This is a generic rhetorical appeal that the left is increasingly dependent on:

America is Bad but if you give me what I want maybe I will change my mind and say that it is Good.

You should just dismiss this premise because it is false - these people lack the authority (moral or otherwise) to make these sorts of determinations.

But if you don’t, also realize that these people are insatiable and there is no limiting principle on what they will ultimately demand.

It’s just very funny to have ‘Zohran Mamdani’ (who didn’t work a full time job for more than a decade into adulthood, whose mother is a Qatari-backed film director, whose father is a Columbia professor, and whose family owned both a Chelsea condo and a gated African luxury compound) lecture everyone on the global dispossessed.

[Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate]

“the soft hands of a precious few.”

Lol that’s Mamdani’s family to a tee:
bottomlessly entitled global elites who enjoy all sorts of sinecures and special privileges.

This third-worldist themed community theater is so embarrassing.

In 2026 ‘socialists’ don’t want central planning or to seize the means of production. (They don’t want real socialism.)

What they want is $175k a year NGO sinecures and welfare entitlements that used to be restricted to the underclass.

Do you think a 7th year ‘sociology PhD student’ wants to manage industrial production?

Lol, no, these people are too retarded and lazy and even if they weren’t they’re so entitled it’s their expectation that all this work will just magically be done by others.

It’s important to understand what their actual project is: they’re not trying to renegotiate important matters of political economy - what they want is public funding of semi-affluent urban living that’s out of reach for them.

A lot of the ‘socialist’ set pieces and theater kid ideological performance art are in service of obscuring the premise and true objectives of their political project which would humiliating to have to openly articulate. So, you have this pastiche of ‘socialism’ which, while malevolent and overflowing with ill intent, is more marketing and nostalgia than anything relating to the 20th century economic and political project that goes by the same name.

EXCLUSIVE: In the past decade, the Los Angeles Metro has reduced fare enforcement by more than 99 percent—and crime has doubled.

We rode the trains for 24 hours to see the nightmare up close. Vagrants, drugs, shootings, robberies, rape. And political leaders who do nothing.

@K_AminThaabet She demonstrates a mastery of sophistry; she will make an excellent politician.

[Adam Louis-Klein @adam_louis52328]

The current communications strategy adopted by some Jewish organizations is built on an intense reliance on—and even fetishization of—data. It is an overly technocratic approach that ignores decades of insight from community organizing, anti-racism education, the humanities, qualitative social science, and other fields that have long studied how public attitudes and social movements actually change.

The underlying assumption is that combating anti-Jewish hatred is primarily a problem of marketing and public relations. It is not. It is a problem of naming, cultural intervention, and sustained public education. Every successful civil rights movement of the modern era—from the Black civil rights movement, to women's rights, to gay rights—shifted public consciousness by giving people a new language to recognize injustice and a new moral framework through which to understand it. They did not succeed through technocratic fixes or better PR campaigns.

The real data is the history of the last two and a half years since October 7, the last twenty-five years since the Second Intifada, and indeed the longer trajectory of antizionism itself. Across that period, the normalization of antizionist discrimination, intimidation, and violence has steadily deepened. That historical record has already tested the prevailing strategy. Pretending that antizionism does not exist has failed every test.

We need change.

@shevereshtus Yup, American Jews long ago confused being a Democrat with being a Jew. Now that Democrats have become Democratic Socialists, some are experiencing cognitive dissonance. The rest are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome.

The New York Jewish story is a vital part of what made and keeps America great. One major narrative strand (among others no less moving): Huddled masses who fled oppression, pogroms and the frozen muck of thousands of Shtetls, intrepid young people who left their families and crossed an ocean in steerage class with few material possessions but rich in heritage and yearning to express their stymied talents. Crammed into unheated tenements, they toiled in garment factories, bakeries, warehouses. Excluded from professions and higher education: “No Jews need apply” and “gentleman’s agreements.” Fought for improved conditions. Scraped and started small family businesses. Synagogues, hospitals, theaters and other cultural institutions. Newspapers. Delicatessens. Endured Depression. Did without. Sent their children to City College at night so they could stock shelves during the day, and then by the hundreds of thousands to Europe and the Pacific. Politically powerless during the Holocaust, they witnessed millions in their extended families perish. But they helped win the war. The youth returned as men to start families, and with the prosperity of the ‘50s and ‘60s, though still facing much exclusion from the establishment, built their own businesses, professional firms, real estate concerns. They absolutely flourished in meritocracy. Made massive contributions to the professions, arts, sciences, literature, culture. And finally found political expression in the party that stood for what at the time were actual progressive values of freedom and equality, including as full partners in The Civil Rights movement. This generation remembered the privation of the “old country” and of their youths, but also their faith traditions, and understood the dire necessity of Israel, a tiny Jewish social democracy in a sea of Soviet-aligned Arab belligerents, as a vital safe haven. They knew that for all its greatness, the U.S. had barred its gates to the desperate Jews of Europe, and had spared no bombs for the Auschwitz railways.

@K_AminThaabet The fate of the Jewish people in the hands of Tucker Carlson‘s best friend -what could go wrong?

[Kamel Amin Thaabet @K_AminThaabet]

Mamdani speaks of 1000 post cease-fire Palestinian dead. How many were Hamas / PIJ or murdered by them? How many were planning attacks, or invaded Israel on 10/7? Mamdani doesn’t care. The context of WAR Hamas chose to wage is always elided. AIPAC simply wants Israel to win. 2/2

[Kamel Amin Thaabet @K_AminThaabet]

The “genocide” slur is a Goebbels-style Big Lie. The contention is that Israel is killing Palestinian civilians for no reason, whereas the reality that Israel is waging a defensive war against murderous Jihadis. 1/2

[Cherbourg Project @ThyssenK]

@K_AminThaabet Charles is preaching to the choir. They never will look within. Their affluenza clouds their vision and they think the situation won't affect them.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

'Kurdish people, denied their own state, have experienced genocide. The West doesn’t care because their oppressors aren’t Israeli.'

@DavidHarrisNY argues there's a 'striking asymmetry' in how The West consider both the Kurdish and Palestinian causes ⤵️

@feelsdesperate @ProudSocialist Isn’t all of their politics just a product of affluenza? It seems that progressives are almost never people who do real work, producing tangible things or delivering a genuine service. Show me a DSA member who manages a supermarket or works as an electrician.
