I remember 5 years ago... how common it was for "Palestinians" to come on my live & tell me they were "the descendants of the Philistines," only to find out that would make them European invaders (so they stopped saying that)

Then they said Jebusites and when they realized that made no sense, they just started calling themselves the original Jews.

Now... NOW they are saying they come from a people before Jews even existed!

[Milan Busk @KarolusWangus]

They actually did that. It's not in the Koran, but it's part of the official jurisprudence of Iran.

[Camille ⚫ @CatRedFront]

People are so incredibly mean to this woman because she actually had to live through the consequences of their favourite theocracy and didn’t say it was epic wholesome chungus.

[wayne @citrushemlock]

the woke orientalism going on here is really interesting. Iranians can not be their own people with their own hopes, desires, and struggles. Instead, they must serve the interests of their nation, and failing to do so is abberant.

[yana @Madame_Ennui]

Leftists supporting a religious theocracy like the Islamic Republic. Lordy, imagine what Karl Marx would say if he were alive

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

Pete Hegseth just slashed the military's list of religious identities from 200+ options to 31.

Gone? Humanist, Atheist, Pagan, and dozens of Christian denominations.

There's no reason for this. It's pure sabotage.

Marjane Satrapi held actual political beliefs instead of picking a country and turning off her brain. This is, apparently, an unforgiveable crime against socialism.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

"It's not your country, it's our country."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun tells CNN that he is sick of Hezbollah using his country and his people as a bargaining chip.

It amazes me how so many Westerners are surprised when people come forward to say they hate living next to terrorists who would happily let them die for a chance to see the Middle East free of Jews.

[Jon Levine @LevineJonathan]

If say a white candidate was a defense witness for a KKK grand wizard and spent years traveling and following that KKK leader around the country and also worked at an org which later turned out to be a KKK front operation — how do we think the national media would cover this?

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

An imam in Memphis just said the quiet part out loud.

Sheikh Anwar Arafat straight up explained how Gaza’s always been a crossroads, with people “rolling in” from Sudan, Ethiopia, and even Bosniaks from Bosnia 200 years ago who took local names like Dada Bushnak and became “Palestinian.” Different skin tones, different origins, all layered over time.

So yeah, that whole “indigenous since forever” narrative? It’s not holding up when their own guy breaks it down.

The Muslim Arabs on the land are the colonizers and occupiers, and they keep admitting it themselves.

[Nazanin Nour @NazaninNour]

The discourse around Marjane Satrapi’s death has been vile and nauseating.

God forbid a woman with lived experience under a repressive regime writes about her experience.

Iranians are allowed to exist outside of your Israel-Palestine-Islam fantasies btw. Grow up, get educated.

[Saul Sadka @Saul_Sadka]

2018: “Believe all women”

2023: “Believe all women, unless they’re a Jew”

2026: “Believe all women, unless they’re accusing a total lowlife with a concentration camp guard tattoo”

[Saad Yousuf @SaadYousuf126]

the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂

[Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

I asked Senate Republicans who among them thought Trump’s slush fund was a good idea. None replied and silence filled the chamber.

I then offered Republicans a chance to shut it down by voting for my amendment.

They chose not to. They are simply too scared of crossing this corrupt president.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

It’s not a case of a few Hamas terrorists moonlighting as journalists.

This was a systematic STRATEGY of passing off terrorists as members of the press.

And the press went along with it uncritically.

[Bad Opinions Calvin’s Dad @SirBadOpinions]

If CA counted all its votes in one day, the argument would be that they weren’t doing it properly and were just eyeballing ballots and not double checking things. No matter what, they’d find an excuse to claim fraud because the process isn’t what concerns them, but the results.

[KC-10 Driver ✈️ 👨‍✈️ B-737 Wrangler @MCCCANM]

I stay away from politics as much as possible & will try to continue doing so, but as a guy who served in the military, let me just say:

The dude is a bad guy. A really bad guy. The kind you find a way of not being near once booze starts flowing or you’re gonna be in trouble.

[Maya Luna (NYC arc ✈️) @envisionedluna]

At this point the only thing that could hurt Platner with progressives is if it came out that he has a Star of David tattoo

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

This is an opportunity for the big boys to cash out by dropping the stock on people that have no idea they’re the marks.

The biggest rug pull in the history of the stock market.

[Alex גדעון בן װעלװל @JewishWonk]

Pretty fun to watch the people who believed an unsubstantiated NYT opinion piece claiming Israelis train dogs to rape people not believe the NYT journalists who ran claims by their lawyers now that it's about a Nazi buddy of theirs.
