Journalist on hiatus from this n@zi-infested hellsite. Find me here:

The African Hebrew Israelites deserve Israeli citizenship after nearly 50 years in the country. My case @haaretzcom. https://t.co/jKFeDlzHOb

I can’t in good conscience use this site anymore. See you on Bsky, perhaps. Take care of yourselves and others. ✌️

Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations!

Some people will Goebbels anything down!

Stop Gőring your enemies!

His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler!

“Lindy Waters III carries with pride his Kiowa and Cherokee bloodlines as one of three indigenous players — along with Dallas guard Kyrie Irving (Lakota) and Milwaukee forward MarJon Beauchamp (Mission, Luiseño) — active today in the NBA.” https://t.co/qr98AX3vOM

Marcus Garvey, who was just pardoned by Biden, blamed Jews for his mail fraud conviction. https://t.co/MX0L0xYP44

[The Associated Press @AP]

On his final full day in office, President Joe Biden has posthumously pardoned Black nationalist Marcus Garvey, and has pardoned immigrant rights activist Ravi Ragbir and criminal justice reform advocate Kemba Smith Pradia. https://t.co/wVAd7jIVSB

Chappelle name checks Jimmy Carter’s “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” and calls Carter a “great man” for visiting the Palestinian Territories after the book came out.

Dave Chappelle's monologue!

“The story of the Jews was extremely important to [Zora Neale] Hurston, as important as her mission, far better known, to preserve and to celebrate the style, speech, and folklore of the African diaspora.” https://t.co/zFGMLxyIZV

@hebrish @RuthMargalit @YinonMagal Do you have a specific critique of the piece, or do you simply object to who wrote it?

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

“[Yinon] Magal says that he is both a journalist and an entertainer, just ‘as a cucumber is both green and long.’” https://t.co/3c5rk07i4E

In 1992, Tom Hanks played an aggressive (and apparently racist) Israeli game show host in an SNL skit. It’s pretty wild! https://t.co/xE4E1L7epi

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

Anyway, I think this piece still holds up. https://t.co/nlexDZGPq3

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

To be clear, I’ve never accused Ross or Kendrick of disparaging Drake’s Jewishness. I’ve reported what *others* thought about the questionable lines. In my own analysis piece, I argued that much of the online chatter has strayed far from the music. https://t.co/8gvTb2VAP8

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

Tiffany Haddish has also talked about her pre-fame experiences as a party motivator, or “energy producer.” https://t.co/0u8i1K9Mct

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

Colman Domingo was a b’nai mitzvah party motivator! https://t.co/xDEx566JmL

Fun fact: That gold necklace has the lyrics of Debbie Friedman’s “Mi Shebeirach” engraved on it. https://t.co/jIAaFAl2iQ

[mark normand @marknorm]

It’s funny that Zuckerberg’s idea of getting more masculine is a perm & a necklace

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

Drake, bubbe, just take the L and move on. https://t.co/nlexDZGPq3

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

In his lawsuit against Universal Music Group, Drake alleges that the “colonizer” line in “Not Like Us” is indeed a reference to his Jewish heritage.

Vindication for Thomas Chatterton Williams, who was clowned by Twitter for making that connection in an Atlantic piece?

[Andrew Esensten @esensten]

“They [Jews] stole the identity of the true biblical Semitic Israelites” is a belief associated with the Hebrew Israelite spiritual movement. Kendrick spotlighted the movement on his 2017 album, “DAMN.”
