All of the recent attacks on “Zionists” just prove why Zionism is essential to the Jews.

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

And people wonder why so many Jews feel like they have to be Zionists.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

This Jewish Londoner’s family has lived in England for hundreds of years.

Now, he is the last one to leave for Israel.

Why? He’s sick of getting threatened in the street.

A society that has given up on protecting Jews is not a healthy society.

Charter schools work! Improving our educational system requires real change, not more money and talking points.

[Rod D. Martin @RodDMartin]

🧵New Orleans just proved failing schools can be fixed at scale.

It became America’s first all-charter school district.

The results are staggering:

• 99th percentile nationally in reading growth
• 98th percentile in math growth
• The only state in America beating pre-pandemic levels in both subjects

This is what real reform looks like. THREAD 🧵

Is there anything better in sports than a game 7?

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

He’s interesting because he’s sympathetic to Democratic issues but much more honest about their success.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

This is the single greatest political ad I have ever seen.

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

I wonder if the “Trump lies” meme will be the thing that undoes him? His supporters always trusted that he might be ham handed but that was only because he was honest.

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

If this were actually true, it’d be very brave when these people get captured as a publicity stunt. The problem is that these people aren’t brave.

On Wednesday evening, over 600 nautical miles from their own country, the Israeli Navy violently boarded our ship that was sailing with the Sumud Flotilla in international waters. The Israelis said they would shoot us if we didnt stop the boat and give them conrol. They evebtually seized 21 ships and kidnapped over 180 people.

While they kidnapped us, they physically harrrased and beat us, as they stole our phones, money, and clothes. When i asked if we were being detained and why, i was told "i dont speak English."

The Israeli Navy intercepted 21 vessels altogether, and then took us to a Frigate, which was outfitted with shipping containers where we were forced to live the past two days. Israeli forces kept us in stress positions throghout, under floodlights. They fed us once with bread. Israeli forces took away some people one by one to beat and torture them; the Israelis dislocated the shoulder of a person on my ship, beat the face of a captain to a pulp, and gave severe concussions to at least two people.

I dont have a phone or money, but this is my update for now.

Great Israel ad

The road to 20 starts today!!

[Linda @LndamyDark]

I know Bill Maher is not a lot of people's favorites. But here he is making sense once again.
Israel is not going anywhere.

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

Instead Israel should let Lebanon shelter Hezbollah and let them send bombs in to kill civilians?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon.

1,461 have been killed.
4,430 have been injured.
1.2 million have been displaced.

Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon.

Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel.

[Ryan Saavedra @RyanSaavedra]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives an excellent explanation on why the U.S. needed to strike Iran

It's less than 2 minutes and is worth the watch

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science...

The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.

However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.

It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

🚨 Students Supporting Israel at Catholic University wanted to hold an event on ending antisemitism.

The administration said fine.

Only if you also include
the other side.

The other side.

Of ending antisemitism.

SSI proposed:

“Ending Antisemitism in America.”

Submitted: January 19
Denied: February 25

The university’s Center for Student Engagement said the event required another speaker for a “balanced presentation” representing “both sides of this issue.”

Both sides?

Of whether Jew-hatred should be confronted?

Other student groups get to hold one-sided events without a problem.

But when pro-Israel students want to confront antisemitism, suddenly Jew-hatred becomes a viewpoint that needs representation.

Disgusting.

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

@joshuarolson @mutex7 @Aarondklein Dude says that Jews everywhere aren’t to blame for Israel and you say that he’s being irrational?!? You’ve articulated a fundamentally irrational and anti-Semitic argument. Are you sure this account isn’t satire?!? Or are you just that stupid?

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

Posts like this are terrifying. “Infestation”…anti-Zionism is almost always rooted in anti-Semitism.

[Jon Adams @JSherredAdams]

@Jesse_Leg @CityJournal STOP supporting Israel and its genocide operations. Israel murdered the man's family. We have an infestation of genocide supporters in the US Congress that needs to be VOTED out.

[The Mossad: Satirical and Awesome @TheMossadIL]

This is why antisemitism is a disease. Great explanation.

[Benjamin Kleinerman @bkleinerman]

This video captures well the liberal racism at the bottom of the Voter ID discussion.

Well-stated.

Confession from a former hard-left secular Jew.

For most of my life I believed something many secular Jews still believe.

That Judaism is basically:

Bagels
Comedy
A few holidays
And voting Democrat.

Then October 7 happened.

And suddenly I learned something our ancestors never forgot.

Judaism isn’t just a culture.

It’s a people.
With memory.
With enemies.
With 3,000 years of survival instincts.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth.

When Torah disappears, something else fills the space.

For many secular Jews, that something became progressive politics.

Not Jewish values.
Not Jewish law.
Not Jewish memory.

Just the latest ideology wearing the costume of morality.

When you understand what Judaism actually is, your politics change very quickly.

Some Jews learn this from Torah.

Some learn it from history.

Some of us learned it on October 7 —
when the “human rights” crowd suddenly found their indoor voices while Jews were being slaughtered.

That’s when the spell breaks.

And once it breaks, you can’t unsee it.
