The Biden-Harris administration cut off funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) - the only agency equipped to distribute food and medicine throughout Gaza.

It caused a famine.

Liberals' only response is to say "look what Trump has done to Gaza" while ignoring that most of the death and destruction happened under Biden and Harris.

Trump-Vance and Biden-Harris have committed crimes against humanity.

Both administrations are complicit in the starvation and slaughter of innocent people.

[Torah Jews @TorahJews]

Zionists love quipping how Muslims can have over 50 countries, but Jews can’t even have one the size of New Jersey.

Their analogy fails at basic scrutiny.

Israel is not a theocracy, nor merely a country with a Jewish majority. Its Nation-State Law makes the audacious claim of being the nation-state of Jews worldwide, asserting an artificial national identity for Jews of different nationalities.

Moreover, the law explicitly states that Israel shall act within the Diaspora to strengthen the “affinity” between the state and Jews worldwide.

But how exactly do they increase this “affinity,” if not by convincing Jews that they are unsafe in their own countries? What can a terror-ridden country possibly offer Jews living in stable, peaceful countries?

Which leads us to another key provision of the Nation-State Law: Jewish settlement in Israel.

And herein lies the pernicious logic. Why would Jews voluntarily leave stable countries for a state plagued by conflict and terror? Fear becomes the incentive. By constantly focusing on Jew-hatred and politicizing antisemitism, Zionists cultivate the perception that Jews are unsafe wherever they live, making Israel appear to be their only refuge.

That fear is not an organic response to antisemitism. It is deliberately amplified and politically exploited by Zionists to strengthen Jewish identification with Israel and encourage settlement.

The soul of Zionism is to transform the eternal People of the Book into a nationality. Zionists have nationalized every aspect of our religion to buttress a political movement, calling Israel a “Jewish state” and imposing an artificial national connection between Jews worldwide and Israel.

It seeks to establish the same national relationship between Jews and Israel as Americans have with the United States and the British with the United Kingdom, deliberately glossing over the fact that Judaism is a religion, not a nationality.

This phenomenon is unparalleled anywhere in the world.

We can be proudly American and devoutly Jewish, with absolutely no national connection to Israel.

So no, Israel is not just another country in the Middle East. It is a state responsible for appropriating the identity of millions of Jews worldwide and nationalizing the world’s most ancient religion.

But they will fail. Whoever goes against GD ultimately does. The truth shall prevail.

@JordanRosenberg @LeverNews @davidsirota @Tim_Walz Yes this was the first thing I thought of. Came here to put up this quote but you beat me to it!

[Torah Jews @TorahJews]

On the third anniversary of the ominous day of October 7, a day on which over 1,200 Jews were brutally murdered, we pause, we reflect, and we remember.

And we are also asking:

We are asking how the “safest” place for Jews was left so questionably vulnerable and exposed.

We are asking how it’s possible that one of the most intelligence-rich governments in the world did not “foresee” an attack of such magnitude.

We are asking how Jews in the Holy Land were never subjected to such attacks before Zionists took “sovereignty,” while they lived in peace with their Arab neighbors.

We are asking why Zionists continuously invoke the Holocaust to “protect” Jews from another Holocaust, yet when such a horrific massacre did occur, innocent people were left to fend for themselves for hours before the “great IDF” arrived.

We are asking what the Israeli government intended with its three-year-plus “war,” which still has not ended and has left so many innocent civilians in Gaza dead and displaced.

We are asking how long Zionists will continue to exploit the memory of the October 7 victims to justify politicizing antisemitism, shutting down criticism of Israel, and enmeshing all Jews with its actions.

We are asking the questions that nobody is willing to answer.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

Never forget what happened years before October 7: Israel’s response to Gaza’s peaceful Great March of Return was to mass murder hundreds of protesters - including the targeted killing of medics, journalists, disabled people & children https://t.co/wjKniRy8JY

[cbuks @cbuks8a4]

@davidsirota It’s just like after a mass shooting when the GOP says now isn’t the time to talk about gun laws.

the realization that we’re entering the fourth year of this genocide makes me so fucking ill

[Torah Jews @TorahJews]

Spare us the diatribe. Zionism is not inherent to Judaism. In fact, it is completely antithetical to Judaism.

Zionism is a deviant nationalist movement initiated by people who abhorred traditional Judaism. Our Rabbis have deemed Zionism akin to idol worship, as its fundamental function was to nationalize our faith to buttress a movement hellbent on transforming the People of the Book into an earthly nationality.

Zionism is no different from other modern nationalist movements. The difference is that it hijacked an entire religion and its people to advance its nationalist cause.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

“When the average American hears ‘ending aid to Israel,’ they think, ‘You’re going to stop sending them weapons,’” journalist Adam Johnson tells Drop Site’s Ryan Grim. But “when you read the fine print,” he warns, all it means is ending explicit U.S. subsidies while continuing to sell Israel weapons.

He says even as Democratic voters have turned overwhelmingly against Israel, party leaders are crafting “fake off-ramps” that distance candidates from Netanyahu without ending the weapons flow.

Symbolic votes and carefully worded criticism are serving as “a reputation-laundering mechanism” for pro-Israel Democrats ahead of 2028, he told Drop Site.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the US govt has never cared about protecting jews, only israel- as long as big donors maintain financial interests & it remains a satellite for empire. antisemitism is overwhelmingly exploited as a cudgel to stifle valid critiques of the apartheid state & its genocide.

[cbuks @cbuks8a4]

@IbaraEleven Unfortunately I don’t think it’s ineptitude. It’s intentional. Look at how hard they are fighting the left rather than anyone in the administration. They like things the way they are.

@JustinBonomo Zionism is a shanda on our people

[cbuks @cbuks8a4]

@Arm__Grig What he calls a story and thinks is going to help us, I call gaslighting.

[cbuks @cbuks8a4]

@HenryForLA What he’s calling a story is actually a nice word for gaslighting.

[cbuks @cbuks8a4]

@ClippingWings They didn’t just know it was happening. They actively assisted at every step, to make it happen and keep it happening.
