El-Sayed accused Israel of genocide before Gaza ground war began https://t.co/NtWvev67KB

@ChrisVanHollen Trying to burnish your progressive street-cred on Israel's back. You were anti-Israel before 10/7 as well, and somehow do not count all Americans killed by fanatical Islamic terrorists even on 10/7 and for years before and after. Disgraceful.

[יוסף חדאד - Yoseph Haddad @YosephHaddad]

Unlike @AbdulElSayed, I’m an Arab who is actually from Israel. My family lived through the establishment of the state of Israel and what he calls the “Nakba.” The Holocaust was nothing like the events of the “Nakba” where my grandfather was told to flee by Arab leaders (not Jews) so the Arabs could “defeat the Jews.” He refused, and all the Arab residents who stayed were given citizenship. Those who fled, a large number by choice, were not permitted to return, as often happens in war. That is a catastrophe, a “nakba” of their own making. But there was no choice in the Holocaust, there was no citizenship for those who stayed. You are intentionally comparing a war and a genocide. They are not the same.

Your vile attempt to co-opt the largest massacre of the Jewish people in history, the systematic murder of six million people simply because they were Jews, for your own dystopian pro-terror Muslim Brotherhood agenda is despicable. I see through you Abdul. You may be able to fool Western Americans with your garbage, but we know who you really are.

Every time someone says "1948," we only get half the story. So here's the whole thing.

In November 1947, the UN voted to divide the land into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. The UN didn't give the Jews a country. It recognized a people with 3,000 years of roots in the land, who had been promised a home since 1917.

The Jews got a small, fragmented territory, and Jerusalem wasn't even part of it. They said yes anyway. The Arab leaders said no. The day after the vote, Jewish buses were attacked, and the country slid into war.

And to those who say Israel stole a country.

There was no Palestinian state to steal from. The land had been ruled by the Ottomans for 400 years and then by the British. Israel got its share through the UN. The rest came from a war the other side started.

On May 14, 1948, Israel declared independence. The next day, five Arab armies invaded from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. The goal wasn't a Palestinian state. The goal was that there would be no Jewish state.

Israel had no real army and barely any weapons, and many of its soldiers were Holocaust survivors who had come ashore only months earlier. They won because the alternative was to die.

Yes, around 700,000 Palestinians lost their homes in that war. Some were expelled by Israeli forces. That's documented, and it shouldn't be denied. Others fled the fighting, and some were told by their own leaders to leave their villages until the Arab armies had won. They didn't.

But there was another expulsion nobody talks about.

Around 850,000 Jews were driven out or pushed out of Arab countries like Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, and Morocco. Families who had lived there for centuries lost everything. The Jews of Jerusalem's Old City were expelled by Jordan.

Israel took them in and gave them new lives.

The Arab countries did the opposite with the Palestinians.

They kept them in camps and in refugee status that is now passed down to the fourth generation, so today there are nearly six million registered refugees.

In Lebanon, they're still barred from a long list of professions. And from 1948 to 1967, Jordan held the West Bank and Egypt held Gaza. Neither of them created a Palestinian state. They could have done it at any time.

Israel took in refugees, drained swamps, and built a beautiful country with no oil and enemies on every border.

The Palestinian leaders were offered the same chance, and they chose war instead. Imagine what could have been built if they had said yes.

The roughly 160,000 Arabs who stayed in Israel became Israeli citizens. Today they number around two million, with the right to vote, their own parties, and seats in parliament.

So when someone says Israel was built on expulsion, remember the whole picture. The Palestinians were offered a state before Israel even existed. The Arab side chose war. Israel defended itself.

Israel didn't start that war. It just refused to lose it.

Am Israel Chai.❤️‍🔥

@ChrisVanHollen @NYCMayor Yes, Chris. Why wouldn't you hold water for Mamdani, El Sayed, and Hasan Piker while you are at it? At least you're consistent, if not sadly predictable. You no longer represent much of your constituency--on another mission entirely.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@mariashriver @Acosta The mind of a 5 year old bully. How sad. And elected twice by Republicans, how tragic.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@ChrisVanHollen What part of "sale" did you miss, Chris? Your hatred of Israel is palpable, and began even before October 7. Why don't you fight global terrorism instead? That would be a worthy effort of our Senator. Also, your histrionics are not only inaccurate, they are becoming dangerous.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@davidhogg111 David, You should be fighting terrorism, not going after Israel.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@RitchieTorres Thank you, Ritchie. Israelis were victims of the most barbaric and depraved attack in modern times. They also did not start the war. Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorists must lay down their weapons. Only then will peace be possible.

@ChrisVanHollen You're a one trick pony when it comes to foreign policy, Chris. And so predictable, and wrong. Best friend to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@ChrisMurphyCT Good, Chris. You do you. You've had some bright moments fighting the Trump oligarchy, but basically you're off the rails with the "progressive" Democrats (and this new version of DSA) who have stolen my party.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@SenatorSlotkin Senator, Responding to an idiot like Ben Gvir is low hanging fruit. Let's discuss Trump throwing Israel under the bus by allowing linkage between Lebanon (the fight against Hezzbolah) and Iran-rather than having rejected this support of Iran's terror proxy outright?

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

Why does a UN agency the world calls "humanitarian" keep producing Hamas company commanders disguised as schoolteachers?

A US federal probe just flagged 101 more UNRWA staff as October 7 participants tied to Hamas's military wing. School principals. Math teachers. Psychosocial counselors. A sniper. A man tasked with moving anti-tank missiles on the morning of the massacre.

If a "deputy school principal" is also a deputy company commander in the al-Qassam Brigades, who exactly was teaching the children, and what were they teaching them?

How does an organization claim it cannot possibly vet its own staff for terror ties, while Hamas somehow has no trouble identifying which of those same staff to embed as platoon commanders and squad leaders?

At what point does "isolated individuals" stop being a credible defense? 108 already blacklisted, 101 more referred, an investigation spanning 1,500 suspected staffers. What's the number that finally changes your mind, 5,000? 10,000? Is there one?

Why have UN agencies reportedly stonewalled the investigators rather than open their files?

Why did it take a US inspector general, not the UN's own internal oversight, to surface this? What does it say that the institution tasked with "relief" had to be investigated by an outside government to learn who was on its payroll?

The donor governments that funded UNRWA for decades, the journalists who cited its casualty figures as gospel: do any of them owe the public an explanation now?

If these are the people running the schools, what is being built inside the next generation of Gaza's children, and who decided that was acceptable to fund?

@RepRaskin Jamie, Sorry to hear you traveling to PA with AOC to support anti-Israel candidate Chris Robb, also supported by the DSA.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@BernieSanders You took a very wrong turn somewhere, Bernie...and never looked back.

[ABFLaw @ABFLaw]

@ChrisVanHollen You're really in your 'sweet spot' now Senator. You've truly done nothing in the past 2 years other than effectively support Hamas, Hezzbolah and now Iran. Your stripes, although not changing, are slithering off, together with your sanctimonious rhetoric. Hard to listen to it.
