@JvN9001 @VividProwess @YosephHaddad is a tireless champion of Israel and of the Jewish people. Please don't disparage him like this. (And he's an Arab Israeli Christian, btw.)

@LaochDubholtach @PeterBeinart @RabbiCosgrove I do not support "a regime of racist supremacism." That is not Israel. My question was how one would reconcile Mamdani's stated position with his support of Pakistan, where the state religion is Islam and violation of blasphemy laws are punishable by death.

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@LaochDubholtach @PeterBeinart @RabbiCosgrove You’re right. Israel exists. It’s those who claim it has no “right” to that elicits a rebuttal. I was just quoting what Mamdani said.

@MagicFlower22 Thank you IDF!!

@CatShoshanna Who are the "PalestinAINs"?

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@BriannaWu I support you, Brianna!

@owenjonesjourno If there is one thing that is certainly undeniable it's that you lack basic math skills: 24% of the membership of this association voted for this resolution.

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@AssalRad The spin is in this headline. It's 86% of the members *who voted*, which was 140 of 500 total members. (So 120 votes for this resolution.) A less misleading headline would say "Resolution backed by 24% of Association members."

@triggerpod @francisjfoster @KonstantinKisin Thank you for this. Everything you articulated here reflects what I've repeatedly encountered of late: historical illiteracy, ignorance + intelligence (maddening combo), emotional reasoning, luxury beliefs, moral relativism. Keep it up, guys.

@MosabHasanYOSEF @MosabHasanYOSEF what happened to the audio version of your book? It's a different narrator now.

[Adam Louis-Klein @adam_louis52328]

What has been most striking in this war is not only how international organizations and Western activist groups have uncritically disseminated Hamas propaganda—baldly repeating its claims despite Hamas’ well-documented lack of credibility—but how this process has unfolded in real time, as a coordinated extension of the battlefield itself. This isn’t just after-the-fact justification; it is active, real-time information warfare.

The Western activist class has not merely expressed abstract “solidarity” with Palestinians—it has functioned, whether tacitly or explicitly, as a live, organically coordinated propaganda front for Hamas. Each time Israel makes a critical advance—whether clearing Hamas strongholds in Khan Younis or preparing to enter Rafah to dismantle major terrorist infrastructure—a fresh deluge of accusations floods the information channels: exaggerated claims of war crimes, unverifiable casualty statistics, and recycled accusations of “genocide.”

What all of this reveals is that a war on the Jews—in the fullest sense Lucy S. Dawidowicz gave that phrase—is being waged as an unbroken extension of Hamas’ battlefield strategy, projected into Western media, universities, and international institutions in real time. It is, in effect, the realization of a propaganda machine not unlike the one Jeffrey Herf documented in The Jewish Enemy, where the Nazis imagined a global Jewish conspiracy dictating every move of their wartime enemies. But the real conspiracy is the mirror image: a transnational alignment of forces projecting their own ideological war onto the Jews, while insisting they are simply the righteous critics of power.

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@PeterBeinart A lot of mental gymnastics. Mamdani surely knows that “African-American” denotes Black American of African descent. Am I Black? Am I a Black American of African descent? If the answer to both is no, you don’t check that box. He lied. Whether that matters to voters is up to them.

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@muhammadshehad2 D) to psychologically torture and taunt Israelis, showing them that Hamas's PR campaign is going gangbusters

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@K_AminThaabet Someone Columbia-splained to me the "nuance" of the phrase, then got miffed when I didn't delete (factual) comments posted in our FB conversation that made him feel "bullied," and further stated my not doing so suggested I "agreed with the bully." The hypocrisy is astounding.

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@AdinHaykin1 Thank you for your service!

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@AdinHaykin1 It won't matter. The UN says 92% of Gaza's residential buildings are damaged or destroyed. Even if you go by Hamas's numbers today *without* factoring in combatants, those killed by Hamas, and deaths due to other causes, over 97% of the population has miraculously been spared.

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@orenbarsky All the people saying "this is the first time we are witnessing a live-streamed genocide" are admitting they have no point of reference for witnessing an actual genocide. Has anyone asked themselves why this is the only "genocide" they are being force-fed on social media?

[Jane Elias @eliastories]

@strxwmxn A reminder that Alice Nderitu, the former UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, was summarily dismissed after refusing to be bullied into calling Israel's war with Hamas a "genocide."
