After the Holocaust, people didn't just deny it by saying it didn't happen. They said the atrocities weren't that bad.

Sure, something happened. But certainly fewer than 6 million Jews were murdered. Certainly, the scale and horror were perhaps an order of magnitude less.

That is precisely the deception Free Palestine podcasters are using here. They're not outright denying October 7th. They are saying Hamas attacked military bases.

That is a lie. Hamas attacked a music festival. They attacked civilians in their homes. They mutilated their victims genitals. They livestreamed a grandmother's murder to her family. Of the 250 people they took hostage, 42 were children.

Hamas held hostages for years. The hostages returned emaciated and medically neglected. A Hamas "doctor" murdered a young hostage by injecting air into her veins. A video of her murder was sent to her family.

The fact that Hamas also attacked soldiers, some of whom were not even on duty and were captured in their pajamas, does not diminish the horror of the civilian murders and abductions.

Denial through distortion is still denial. Don't fall for it. Don't accept the frame of "did Hamas have a right to attack bases," because that is not what they did.

Anyone pushing that false narrative is not trying to defend Palestinians. They are trying to justify the murders of Jews.

Iran is imploding, the regime is broke, and their war machine is running on empty.

Workers aren't getting paid, soldiers are deserting, and military camps are literally facing food shortages. Their entire proxy network is crumbling.
All it takes is one more month of President Trump’s relentless strikes and crushing blockade to finish this. Our region has earned the right to peace and stability after decades of being terrorized by this corrupt, fascist regime.

Keep the pressure on. Finish the job.

Congressman @RoKhanna, I need your help reconciling two statements made one day apart.

July 15 — NewsNation with Chris Cuomo

“I have never said that they threatened or pointed a gun at us… They brandished the guns… I never thought they were going to shoot at us.”

Source: NewsNation interview with Chris Cuomo.

July 16 — Your MS NOW opinion piece

“The rifles the settlers pointed at us last weekend were American M4s.”

Source: MS NOW opinion essay by Rep. Ro Khanna.

Those are your words.

So please help us understand.

Were rifles pointed at you or anyone in your delegation?
If yes, which video frame or photograph shows it?
If no, will you ask MS NOW to correct your op-ed?

Carrying a rifle.

Brandishing a rifle.

Pointing a rifle at someone.

Those are three very different factual claims.

Please produce the evidence so the public can understand which description is accurate.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

The @WSJ Editorial Board rightly asks "How is it a U.S. “value” to disarm an ally fighting against murderous enemies that fire rockets on civilian towns?"

"The vote by 103 House Democrats on Wednesday to block U.S. arms to Israel as it fights a multifront war is a shocking abandonment of an ally. It’s a sign of the rapid conquest of the Democratic Party by its anti-Israel wing...

Israel has violated no U.S. laws we know of. As for U.S. interests, Israel is fighting by the side of the U.S. against Iran and fighting alone against Iran’s proxies that have killed Americans. The defense relationship with Israel is a U.S. military advantage that helps maintain America’s technological edge over adversaries. When Democrats are voting to abandon even Iron Dome missile defense, this is self-sabotage out of anti-Israel animus.

It’s one thing to oppose Mr. Trump’s war on Iran, but it’s a far more radical step to cut loose a steadfast ally."

This isn’t the product of young Americans carefully studying the history of the conflict, examining October 7, understanding Hamas’s founding ideology, or understanding decades of failed peace efforts.

It comes from a completely different worldview and ideology.

One that divides every conflict into oppressor and oppressed, treats weakness as innocent and blameless, power as guilt, and terrorism as “resistance” so long as the perpetrators can be placed on the supposedly weak and marginalized side.

Facts are almost irrelevant to this worldview. History is useless. Moral distinctions don’t matter. The only question becomes: who has more power?

This worldview is spreading through the American mind like a cancer, teaching an entire generation not how to think, but whom they’re permitted to hate.

[TheJewishAlly @TheJewishAlly]

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, indicated he voted to cut off military aid to Israel in part because of sustained personal threats against his family and his staff, part of what he described as a violent and relentless campaign of intimidation by far-left anti-Israel activists.
ㅤ
Smith voted on Wednesday to support an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to strip $3.3 billion in U.S. aid to Israel from the 2027 State Department appropriations bill — a major reversal by the hawkish Democrat after he previously told Jewish Insider he planned to oppose the measure.
ㅤ
In a statement explaining his vote in favor, the high-ranking defense lawmaker said it was a “very close vote.” He said that despite voting to cut off U.S. aid, he was “deeply concerned” about the tactics used by far left activists to pressure him to support such a measure.
ㅤ
“To date, my family and I have had our home vandalized, a fire has been set in my driveway, my neighbors’ lives have been disrupted by demonstrations in the middle of the night, town halls meant to be forums for dialogue have been shut down, and a staff member has been physically assaulted,” Smith said in a statement on X.

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

The following Democrats 103 voted yesterday to cut aid to Israel.

Minutes later, they had the chance to cut aid to Jordan.
Not a single one voted yes.

This was never about ending foreign aid.
It was never about opposing foreign wars.
The target is the world's only Jewish state.

[Sam E. Antar @SamAntar]

Hey @RoKhanna, your latest posts raise even more questions.

You now say:

“Two members said to me their yes vote was partly because of what they saw happened during my trip to the occupied West Bank.”

If that’s true, then your trip is no longer simply a personal account of what happened. You’re telling the public it influenced congressional votes on U.S. policy.

That makes transparency even more important.

At the same time, you describe the defeats of Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush as evidence that “Black martyrdom is normalized in America.”

Let’s be factual.

Cori Bush lost to Wesley Bell, a Black Democrat, in a Democratic primary.

Jamaal Bowman lost to George Latimer because Democratic voters chose another Democrat.

Those are election results.

Calling them “Black martyrdom” is an extraordinarily serious characterization.

So here are a few straightforward questions:

Which two members of Congress told you your trip influenced their votes?

Did they authorize you to identify them publicly?

Did they watch the complete, unedited video, or only selected clips?

Did they review the IDF’s account, the Jerusalem Post analysis, and your later clarifications before changing their position?

If your trip is now being used to influence congressional votes and reshape U.S. policy, why should the American people settle for edited videos instead of the complete record?

Release every recording.

Every phone.

Every camera.

Every body camera.

Every minute.

The more consequential the claim, the higher the burden of proof.

[Max Abrahms @MaxAbrahms]

This is what JD Vance did.

He pushed an absurd deal with Iran and massively oversold it to the American public.

He said that the biggest threat to the deal was Israel acting too hawkish.

Then Iran itself unilaterally blew up the deal according to everyone including Trump.

Then Vance went crying in podcastland blaming made-up Israeli funded agents for criticizing the deal rather than Iran for blowing it up.

Groyper scum.

[The Moderate Case @TheModerateCase]

Sneako accidentally posted the AI instructions he used to generate a tweet, including the part where he told it to “optimize for more shock factor.”

Then he deleted it.

@Alonso_GD The difference is there was no war going on and they were not actively fighting at the time that they were killed so even if they were members of the Israeli Army at one point these were not active members. Hamas militant were involved in active fighting so they should be noted.

[Raylan Givens @JewishWarrior13]

⭕️I cannot overstate the sheer disgust I feel for Vance right now. He desperately wants to deflect from the disastrous MOUs that is entirely his responsibility, so what does he do? He screams, “Blame the Jews!” He’s incapable of facing the reality that Iran broke the deal, not Israel, so he parrots his idol Tucker Carlson: “Everything is Israel’s fault.” According to Vance, anyone who criticizes the deal isn’t a normal person—they’re all just paid shills for Israel. It doesn’t matter that they’re all Americans living in the US who voted for Trump, just like me. And of course, he knows he’ll get a roaring ovation from another rabid antisemite, Joe Rogan. I will never vote for this disgrace of a vice president.

[Sam E. Antar @SamAntar]

Memo to @RoKhanna: Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush lost Democratic primaries because Democratic voters chose someone else.

Cori Bush lost to Wesley Bell, a Black Democrat. Jamaal Bowman lost to George Latimer, another Democrat.

Calling those election results “Black martyrdom” doesn’t explain what happened. It turns ordinary electoral defeats into a racial narrative.

When Democratic voters reject candidates, blaming race instead of respecting voters is a dangerous path.

Democrats Unveil Memorial To Colleagues Who Tragically Lost Primaries And Remained Alive

WASHINGTON - Rep. Ro Khanna led a solemn ceremony on the Capitol steps Wednesday to recognize the martyrdom of two former colleagues who lost primary elections in 2024 and have since endured book advances, university fellowships, and recurring cable news appearances.

"Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush gave everything," Khanna told mourners. "One day you are a member of Congress. The next day you are a former member of Congress with a federal pension, a speaking agency, and a memoir under contract. That is a price no American should have to pay."

The ceremony marked the first update to the definition of martyrdom since antiquity. Under the old standard, martyrs were required to die. Under the revised standard, adopted by voice vote, martyrdom includes any outcome in which voters reach a decision.

The martyrs' persecutors were identified as the residents of New York's 16th and Missouri's 1st congressional districts, who carried out the martyrdom by going to a middle school gymnasium and filling in an oval. The caucus has opened an inquiry into the role of voters in the election's outcome, which members described as unprecedented interference.

Khanna acknowledged that outside groups spent heavily against both members, and the caucus initially planned to name the spending as the instrument of martyrdom, before records confirmed that every single ballot had been cast by the martyrs' own constituents, most of them Democrats, many of them Black. The inquiry has been broadened accordingly.

A memorial wall listing the fallen was unveiled behind the podium, with space reserved for future colleagues who may one day lose a primary and be forced into the professional afterlife of paid commentary. Bush could not attend the ceremony honoring her sacrifice due to a scheduling conflict with the ceremony's livestream, on which she appeared as a featured guest.

Khanna, who cited an unnamed colleague as the source of the martyrdom designation, declined to say whether the colleague was available for comment, whether the colleague existed, or whether the colleague was him.

At publishing time, Khanna had announced he would continue courageously holding his safe seat, which he has won eight times, and confirmed he remains open to martyrdom at a future date convenient to his schedule, ideally during a presidential primary.

🇵🇸🇩🇪🇯🇵 What the difference between Palestinians, Germans and Japanese people?

The people of Germany and Japan both achieved miraculous economic recoveries after WWII with just a fraction of the aid given to Palestinians in Gaza.

Germany and Japan received roughly $250 to $300 per person, sparking the greatest economic triumphs in human history.

It took Germany just 10 years and $1.44 billion in foreign aid to go from ruins to a top industrialized economy.

It took Japan a mere 15 years and $2.20 billion in foreign aid to go from a nuked, hopeless ruin to a global technology powerhouse.

Meanwhile, the Gaza Strip received global solidarity and over $45 billion in international aid from the US, EU, UK, and UN over the last three decades, only to devolve into a heavily dependent Islamist dictatorship and terror hub.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Antisemitism often manifests as an assumption that everything Jews do is for nefarious reasons.

If Jews call out antisemitism, it’s not to stay alive, it’s to “shut down conversation about Israel.”

If Jews establish a country, it’s not to provide a home for Jewish refugees, but to “steal land.”

If Jews participate in the political process, it’s not to advocate for policies that are important to us, but because we “want to control the world.”

If Jews make their family recipes, it’s not because they’re hungry, it’s to “invent a fake culture.”

When Jews do archeological studies, it’s not to learn about the past, but to “justify Israel.”

Or when I, a gay Israeli Jew, live my life, my identity itself is supposedly propaganda.

Of course it all sounds ridiculous.

But once you see how subtle versions of these hateful messages about Jews are reproduced everywhere, you won’t be able to unsee it.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

To all of you antisemitic morons who don't get it, you are free to have issues with AIPAC. That is your choice. However, making it a part of every statement, even when there is no connection, is the antisemitic part.

Interesting also none of you want to discuss AIPAC money don't mention money from groups like Muslims United PAC.

PACS do exist and do spend money. The reason for only calling out AIPAC in every utterance is antisemitic.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Hey @RoKhanna,

Why did your activist buddies intentionally leave out the translation where your group was told it was a closed military zone and that they had been warned before by police not to go there?

Why won’t you release the rest of the footage since it’s clear your group was filming the entire time?

Where is the violence? Where are the threats?

Next time you try to pull a stunt for attention, maybe don’t wait until Saturday and lie about it.
