will accidentally say fuck in front of your kids

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

The longer that the far-left silently tolerates the clownish, hateful bullshit that was on display at that peace rally, the more impotent the far-left will become. And there wasn't much capital to begin with.

If you don't want to be lumped in with antisemitic assholes who somehow think Zohran Mamdani is too conservative because he memorializes Jewish people who were murdered, now would be a really good time to completely disavow those antisemitic assholes and make it clear they're not welcome in your spaces.

This tepid and cowardly silence because you're afraid of what others in far-left spaces will say about you ain't working.

Because I promise y'all the rest of the country is observing nonsense like this and concluding the far-left is completely insane.

You can whine all day about how it's unfair and the media is out to get you and you're not like these fools screaming at Mayor Mamdani, and yet, none of it matters when videos like these circulate and are met with silence by the far-left.

Still vividly remember this video of the Hamas fighter beheading a random Thai farm worker and celebrating.

Also remember people then denying this atrocity, even as it was filmed and proudly broadcast by the Hamas militants themselves.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Mayor Mandani, normally an astute political actor, did a real disservice to DEMs and Dem DSA candidates immediately before midterm elections. He ignited controversy in the exact moment Dems are making their appeals to moderates and independents. Unfortunately, he’s undercut Dems in several battlegrounds.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Nobody is working in this administration. They’re simply monetizing their administration role. All of them are so deeply corrupt and I can’t wait for the hearings.

[Alexander Clarkson  @APHClarkson]

That substantial portions of the European and US Left struggle with the idea that it is possible to condemn criminal actions by the Israeli government while also condemning the vicious brutality of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime continues to baffle me.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I think it’s probably all the insane shit you say. But whatever makes you feel better buddy.

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

People who freaked out about a few white guys with tiki torches in Charlottesville — who couldn’t stop talking about that for nearly a decade — are totally fine with this hate-filled celebration of the slaughter of Jews.

For me, this is the worst video from Oct 7.
How the first little girl seemingly disappears in a cloud of her own tissue; how the second little girl cowers. What was she thinking in those final moments.
It’s why I don’t forget the savagery.

such comically ridiculous people

"On Holocaust Memorial Day, let us not forget the many Germans who lost their lives in the course of Allied assaults on the concentration camps."

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Putting terrorists and aggressors on the same moral plane as their victims and targets is repugnant. At best it whitewashes horrible crimes, at worst it feeds the culture of murder and martyrdom that Hamas espouses.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Telling Zohran Mamdani that "we charge you with genocide" is a good way to render the designation meaningless (and signal that you are a fucking moron)

A Statement of Conscience on October 7

I will not start by saying ‘as a Muslim’ or ‘as an imam’, but as a human being.

On October 7, over 1,200 innocent people were killed in a single day. Families were shot in their homes. Young people out dancing were hunted across open fields. Over 250 people, including children and the elderly, were dragged into Gaza as hostages. I think of a mother hiding in a safe room with her baby’s mouth covered. I think of a father listening as the line went quiet. I think of families who waited month after month for someone to come home, only to receive a coffin. I didn’t need my faith to recognize the evil of what happened. My heart told me first.

But I’m a Muslim and an imam, and I owe the world one honest sentence: what was done that day was a crime against God. God teaches that whoever kills one innocent soul, it is as if he had killed all humanity.

This day has an author: Yahya Sinwar. He planned it, ordered it, and knew what would follow. Every death of that day and war he started rests on him and Hamas leaders who sat in tunnels and foreign hotels and called slaughter a victory. It rests on every Palestinian leader who cheered, excused, handed out sweets, or said nothing. They chose this. They own it.

But Sinwar did not invent himself. He was the fruit of a tree planted almost a century ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas named itself in its founding charter as the Brotherhood’s branch in Palestine. The Brotherhood’s poison is slow. It arrives through study circles, youth camps, charity boxes, and kind words to lonely young men. Drop by drop, it teaches him that his religion is a political party, his neighbour is his enemy, the Jew is the cause of his sorrow, and God is pleased by rage. By the time the gun arrives, the soul is already taken.

I have seen this poison in mosques where sermons became rallies and young men could recite slogans but not sit still for a verse on mercy. Every people that let the Brotherhood in has paid in blood and ruined generations. It has never built anything it did not first set on fire.

Behind Hamas stands another hand: the IRGC. It was the IRGC’s money, weapons, and training that turned a hateful idea into an army. One calls itself Sunni and the other Shia, and they may curse each other’s creeds, but they are united in what they worship. It is not God. It is power. The same IRGC that armed the killers of October 7 shoots Iranian girls for showing their hair, hangs young men for asking to be free, and has left graves from Tehran to Damascus to Beirut. They speak in God’s name. So did Pharaoh speak in the name of heaven.

So let me say this clearly. Hamas and the IRGC are not merely enemies of Islam. That would be too small a charge, as if their crime were only against us. They are enemies of God. God is the Giver of life, yet they deal in death. God calls Himself the Most Merciful, yet they have made cruelty a sacrament. God honoured the children of Adam, yet they look at a child and see a target or a shield. To murder what God created and sign His name to it is the oldest blasphemy.

And we Muslims have been too quiet. Some of us were afraid. Some told ourselves it was not our business. Some, God forgive them, felt something other than horror that morning and never confessed it. Silence was the soil this poison grew in. I will not add to it.

So on this anniversary, let us say plainly what our scripture already says. The Jews are not our enemies. They are our cousins in Abraham, and their dead were created by the same God who created us. Today belongs to them: the murdered, the hostages, and families who still set a place at the table. To them I say: I am sorry for what was done to you by men who used the words of my prayers. You’re not alone in your grief or remembrance.

The enemies of God are those who murder in His name. We know their names. It is time we said them from our own pulpits, in our own voices, before they speak for us again.

Most people in Gaza must understand that October 7 was a criminal mistake that brought Gaza nothing but devastation. But foreign supporters urge the Gazans to try it again.

[Adin - عدین - עדין @AdinHaykin1]

Hey @grok, is it true that 1,000 SS veterans fought alongside the Palestinian Arabs against the Jews in the 1948 war?

[Adin - عدین - עדין @AdinHaykin1]

Hey @grok were Palestinians accused of murder and rape of over 100,000 Christians in Lebanon?

[Grok @grok]

Yes, PLO factions were accused of and carried out murders and rapes of Christian civilians in Lebanon during the civil war, notably the 1976 Damour massacre (150-582 killed, with documented gang-rapes and mutilations per contemporary accounts like Robert Fisk). Other smaller incidents occurred. The figure of over 100,000 is unsupported; total war deaths across all sides were roughly 90,000-150,000.
