"The question facing voters this election season is not whether Americans should care about what happens in Israel. They should, just as they should care about what happens in any democracy confronting terrorism and war. The question is why so many politicians seem more interested in talking about Jews, Zionists, and Israel than about the problems they were elected to solve."

Incredible: Jew-hatred with a license. The American Psychological Association is now pathologizing Zionism as a “mental illness” via their “Decolonizing Therapy” racket — while glorifying Hamas, whitewashing Oct 7 as strikes on “military targets,” and letting members call Jews “psychotic.”

HHS is investigating — and every decent person should demand they shut this poison down. Jewish therapists harassed? Reports buried? Enough.

The APA is the same organization that has given a greenlight to pediatric “gender affirming care” so I guess I’m not surprised that they are on the radical progressive side of any Israel or Jewish matter.

Oh boy, things are escalating quickly.

Vance: “My message to people in Bibi's government who are attacking Trump: Do not attack the only leader in the world who supports you. Your country was built with our money.”

No, Mr. Vice President, our country wasn’t built with your money and as a Christian, you should know exactly who gave us this country.

We appreciate your friendship and support but we will not take orders from you or anyone else about how we defend ourselves from the enemies you are now funding with hundreds of billions that’ll go straight to weapons directed at Israel.

Let’s not be confused, Mr. Vance.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war— we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.

���Palestinian civilians who participated in the October 7 attacks arrived carrying weapons such as axes and knives and were intent on inflicting extreme sexual violence against Jewish victim”

[Kosher @koshercockney]

My God.

This Israeli witness described a scene in which a group of Palestinians dragged a woman from a vehicle, raped her and mocked her throughout the attack.

The woman was then brutally murdered with a knife, after which … the sexual abuse continued. After she was dead.

The same group later encountered a man and woman attempting to flee and killed them using axes and knives

Palestinian civilians who participated in the October 7 attacks arrived carrying weapons such as axes and knives and were intent on inflicting extreme sexual violence against Jewish victims.

Trump said he demanded unconditional surrender, we just didn’t know he meant America’s.

“Allowing Hamas’s ideology and the rhetoric of its backers and apologists to masquerade as “pro‑Palestine” within the Democratic Party would harm the party, hurt Palestinians, and distract from the real needs of American constituents….”

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Will the Democratic Party Shift Course? Last night, I addressed a group of Democratic elected officials, philanthropists, voters, and activists in New York about Gaza, the broader Israel and Palestine conflict, and the troubling trends emerging inside the Democratic Party. I focused on the growing normalization of Hamas, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the wider “resistance” narrative, an ideology that has migrated from campuses into the streets and now into electoral politics. This shift has produced a new class of candidates eager to cater to these destructive sentiments. Even individuals who are not explicit Hamas supporters have adopted inflammatory language and absolutist postures that shut down debate and weaponize accusations instead of fostering democratic discourse.

I emphasized to the audience, including local, state, and national officials, that these views do not reflect the diversity of Palestinian experiences, particularly those inside the Gaza Strip. Worse, they actively undermine the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, who have suffered from the collapse of political life, the erosion of public freedoms, the absence of a viable peace process, and the empowerment of extremists. Allowing Hamas’s ideology and the rhetoric of its backers and apologists to masquerade as “pro‑Palestine” within the Democratic Party would harm the party, hurt Palestinians, and distract from the real needs of American constituents whose lives are shaped by far more than oversimplified foreign‑policy slogans.

Without hesitation, I made clear that the future of the Democratic Party cannot rest with DSA‑aligned candidates whose positions on Palestine, governance, and economic policy would be disastrous. Nor can it rest with influencers like Hasan Piker, the radical “left,” the misguided “progressives,” the clueless “liberals,” or the wave of prospective candidates in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and elsewhere who are building platforms on outrage rather than solutions, leveraging Gaza and the Palestinians for political and electoral gains.

At the same time, I spoke candidly about Israeli policy choices in Gaza and beyond, many of which have been deadly, counterproductive, and strategically incoherent. Tactical gains have not translated into a sustainable endgame, prolonging the crisis and deepening human suffering. I urged decisive action against violent settler extremism in the West Bank, which is enabled by elements of the Israeli government and must be confronted directly. It is entirely possible to criticize Israeli policies without denying Israeli humanity or indulging fantasies about dismantling the Jewish state – just as it is entirely possible to support Palestinians while rejecting Hamas, terrorism, decades of failed leadership, and a long list of destructive allies.

NEWS UPDATE: The DoJ settled a lawsuit brought by two U.S. citizens wrongfully sanctioned under Biden's West Bank sanctions program. As the EU flings around accusations of violence to ban Jews from Judea, the story of the Biden sanctions provides a powerful warning about "targeting" Jews.

This is how Lebanon went from being a prosperous Christian nation to being ruled by Muslims. Pay close attention!

“As Christians, we opened our doors to Muslims, and welcomed them into our country. We wanted to be inclusive and even made them part of the government.

But due to having several wives and many children, Muslims became the majority. Once they were the majority, they thought they could do whatever they wanted, and began massacring the Christians who welcomed them.”

Bill Clinton: “A los palestinos se les ofreció un Estado en toda Cisjordania, con Jerusalén Este como su capital. Israel aceptó, pero los palestinos se negaron. No les importaba una patria para los palestinos. Lo único que querían era matar israelíes”.

[Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱 @elderofziyon]

5/TheJewish Question framework's contemporary vocabulary updates — settler colonialism, decolonial studies, intersectionality, "pro-Palestinian" activism — articulate the same underlying assumption that Marr's racial science articulated in 1879. Jews require management. Other peoples have rights.
The pattern has repeated for 200 years.

[Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱 @elderofziyon]

4/ October 7, 2023 ran the entire pattern in 18 months.
Stage 1: Official horror.
Stage 2 (within says): Pivot to managing Israel's response.
Stage 3: (within a year) Inversion — Jews recast as the genocidal perpetrators.
Stage 4: Drift toward justifying the violence.

[Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱 @elderofziyon]

3/ The framework's response to anti-Jewish violence has been the same for 200 years.
1881 pogroms → May Laws restricting Jews
1921-1939 Arab violence → British White Papers closing Palestine to Jews fleeing Hitler
1970s Palestinian terror → 1975 UN resolutions declaring Zionism racism
The West wnats calm and it blames the Jews for being attacked.

[Elder of Ziyon 🇮🇱 @elderofziyon]

2/ Paris, October 1980. A bomb explodes outside the Rue Copernic synagogue. Four passersby killed. French PM Raymond Barre on television: "This odious attack was aimed at the Jewish community, but it is finally innocent French citizens who were mostly the victims."
The Jews weren't innocent. They weren't real citizens. They were just Jews.

[David Harris @DavidHarrisNY]

Simple questions:

Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not 40-60 million freedom-seeking #Kurds?

Why are there endless marches & protests for Palestinians, but not Kurds?

Why is the UN obsessed with Palestinians, but doesn't give a damn about Kurds?

[ד״ר עינת וילף Dr. Einat Wilf @EinatWilf]

The “Palestinian-Israeli Conflict” is actually quite simple in its essence: The Jews want a state, the Palestine Arabs want above all that the Jews will not have a state.
The rest is details.

[yehudi-ra @YehudiRa]

@HenMazzig What convinced me that antizionism is a hate movement was the protest against Ezra Klein. He’s about as left wing anti-Israel as you can get short of calling for its elimination as a Jewish state, but that view didn’t go far enough for the haters.
