@DefiantLs Wow. To believe that Israel is committing genocide is delusional enough to, but to not understand that neither the US or Israel are signatories to the corrupt and antisemitic ICC? He gives Trump a run for his money in narcissism and arrogance.
@krystalball That support of Israel has become a “purity test” for Democrats is truly sickening. It shows how messed up the “progressive” values have become that they actively support a people that believe women are property and the LGBTQ community should be killed.
@joshbrunsting No, the question of our time is how people believe propaganda over reality. Reality is that Apartheid reins across MENA except in Israel. The only way to believe that Israel is anywhere near an Apartheid state is if you start with Gaza, Judea, & Samaria are part of Israel.
@SteveKerins@JonahDispatch Sorry, that you believe we need to change our relationship with Israel shows a lack of understanding of what Israel is actually fighting. It’s not Gaza, or the palestinians. It’s Radical Islamists. Those who don’t share our western values.
There has NEVER been a real partner for peace among the “palestinians.” That UNRWA was created as a separate agency from the UNHCR for the Arab refugees but almost nothing was done to support the over 850k Jews expelled from the Arab World shows the inherent UN bias against Jews.
Rahm, like all the Democrats these days, is pretending the impediment to peace is Israeli intransigence.
There is no partner for peace on the Palestinian side. There has not been a single overture. There is no credible diplomatic solution on the table that can ensure Israelis a secure Jewish state.
Democrats never tell Palestinians and their activists to tone down their rhetoric when they chant for the destruction of Israel. Democrats never tell Palestinians that the window is closing if they don’t push for peace. Democrats never tell Palestinians that their security situation is worsening due to their conduct.
What the Palestinians are hearing from all of these leaders is that if they stay the course and keep Israel locked in a state of globally unpopular war, then Israel will lose international support and will be destroyed.
@chalavyishmael I would go further and say that the “pro-palestine movement” wants to lump ALL Jews in with the Israeli government regardless of viewpoint. Why else would Jews and synagogues be constantly attacked in the US?
@MrAndyNgo That this wasn't 2nd Degree Murder with Hate Crime additions is simply disgraceful. The Kessler family needs to sue the judge for overstepping his authority and sideling the DA's office and for hate crimes himself.
The October 7th massacre did not end with Hamas. It continued in UN reports.
A rigorous review of UN documentation reveals a pattern of systemic bias: laundered data, distorted statistics, the systematic omission of Hamas' conduct - Read the Full Report
@SenTinaSmith Then demand the palestinians unequivocally acknowledge Israel’s right to exist in English and in Arabic, along with every Muslim nation including Iran.
Until then, this is a non-starter.
@ChrisVanHollen No, Mr. Van Hollen. They still
Hold those values. You just don’t want to see it anymore. Israel still has the right to defend itself AGAINST genocide. Jews still have the right to defend themselves against hate. Stop fueling both.
@Oilfield_Rando Tell me, is it also not acceptable to reward yourself with a $1.8 billion $ judgement against the IRS for something that was done under your IRS and use it to reward those who attacked cops on January 6th?
@MarcusMStanley@matthewschmitz We see what is happening in Europe. We see the lack of support for Israel and the growth in radical Islamism.
They go hand in hand. We can support Israel in their fight against Islamist violence, or we can fight it here as they are in Europe.
