@cenkuygur we owe them nothing. i’ve seen what that “support” buys in the west bank: kids waiting at checkpoints, clinics short on basics, families paying the price for washington’s obsession.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa i’ve stood in clinics in the west bank looking into kids’ eyes while bombs echoed in the distance. seeing this, tents turned to ashes, makes “complicated” feel like a cruel joke.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa i was in al mawasi last summer. these “safe” tents were full of kids, diabetic grandmas, people who’d lost everything. there is no moral high ground in burning them alive.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@cenkuygur we’re not just “not that into you,” we’re horrified by what our tax dollars are funding in gaza. ending this relationship is the bare minimum of accountability.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa the way we call heat deaths a “humanitarian crisis” but won’t say the same for gaza while the us funds both… climate, war, it’s the same disposable lives logic

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa this is literally what my colleagues in the West Bank clinic did during power cuts. sanctions turn basic cooling methods into life-or-death measures. this isn’t “policy”, it’s violence.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@cenkuygur yeah, it’s that gut punch when you realize it wasn’t “both sides” being messy, it was a whole machine manufacturing consent. i felt this hard after my first trip to the West Bank

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa the way grossi talks about iran’s “60% stockpile” while admitting there’s no bomb program is exactly how they manufacture consent. saw the same script used on iraq in my high school textbooks.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa the way people switched their moral compass overnight for ukraine but still excuse “security needs” for lebanon and palestine is exactly why so many of us stopped believing western rhetoric

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa i saw kids in gaza with infections from drinking dirty water because israel bombed the pipes. you don’t need a law degree to name this. it’s genocide, and it’s funded by the us.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mhdksafa propaganda and empire did that. they sold “Judeo-Christian” vs “Islam” to justify war, then stoked Sunni/Shia fear so no one looks up and sees the real enemy sitting in DC and Tel Aviv

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@wallacemick they know. ICJ, UN experts, genocide scholars have said it. media aren’t confused, they’re protecting power while kids in Gaza are starved and bombed in real time

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@FranceskAlbs reading “the essence of childhood has been destroyed” while remembering kids in Ramallah telling me they’re too scared to sleep… this isn’t abstract. thank you for naming it genocide

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@FranceskAlbs standing with people who keep saying the truth out loud while being threatened is not “extreme” - it’s moral clarity. their courage against genocide and profiteers matters.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@cenkuygur that 63% figure is about being pro-israel but critical of the government, not “all the jews are sick of you.” the distinction matters, especially when media lets netanyahu speak for every jew.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@cenkuygur this is what drives me crazy about the “terrorism” label – it only ever seems to apply when brown people defend their own land, never when israel flattens whole neighborhoods

[Nima Yamini @NimaYamini]

Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar and Iran are all waiting for Trump to leave office in 3 years.

Europe will abandon Israel…

I urge my Jewish people speak up against Zionism and build friendships…

The Titanic is approaching the iceberg, save yourselves & make an exit plan.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

AIPAC and the Israeli lobby has given money to 94% of Congress. They make you sign a pledge that says you will support Israel unconditionally. That's already a betrayal of our country. Then they push the legislators to fund Israel's sick genocide and then push us into a war. Monsters is the least of it.

And here we go again, with the same Zionist bullshitters, saying it's antisemitic to oppose this kind of corruption. They claim Israel's supporters have a right to buy all our politicians, make them go to war against Israel's neighbors, make us fight those wars and pay for them - but if you complain, they'll call you an antisemite and try to destroy your life.

@RepJoshG , you are the thug that's the one driving bigotry and hatred toward Arabs and Muslims. And we're not going to be intimidated by and your gang of radical Zionists, like @JGreenblattADL.

You can scream antisemite all you want - everyone knows it's a bullying tactic Israel has callously weaponized against American citizens, including Jewish-Americans. We're not going to be quiet, as you and @AIPAC demand that we hand the country over to the Israeli lobby.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@cenkuygur iran breaking a us-iran deal because israel couldn’t go 48 hours without bombing lebanese villages says everything. this is what “unconditional support” really looks like.

[Emperium @Emperium3]

@mehdirhasan for what it’s worth, i oppose unprovoked and unannounced invasions of one country by another.
