Having Jeremy Corbyn - someone whose party was found to have committed unlawful acts of discrimination against Jewish people under his leadership - phone-banking for @ZohranKMamdani says everything you need to know.

NY doesn’t need politics of moral compromise. We need leadership that rejects antisemitism, extremism, and division in every form and in every corner.

🚨 Zohran Mamdani’s wife is praising Hamas propagandist Saleh Al Jafarawi, also known as Mr. Fafo, who campaigned for Hamas. According to reports, he was killed in Gaza by Palestinians that oppose Hamas.

Notice every single goddamn Democrat that’s been screaming about a ceasefire that doesn’t congratulate our president for accomplishing one.

Because it was never about moral opposition to violence, but rather a sick fantasy of annihilating the only Jewish state.

Maybe one day they’ll stop killing us on Jewish holidays. Or maybe we’ll just keep pretending it’s about Israel.

Now that we’re out, I can speak freely about some of the things I’ve learned having accidentally found myself in a war zone, hunkering down with Israelis and other tourists in Tel Aviv shelters:

- I appear to have underestimated the power of trauma bonding

- Israelis’ insistence of living as normal of a life as possible under the most abnormal conditions is truly something to be in awe of

- there’s this thing you can do where you enter a liminal space of half-sleep so you straddle the awake world and the sleep world so you never miss a siren

- your high cortisol + adrenaline levels become a new baseline and your awareness of it fades away

- every barrage is a game of Russian roulette. Knowing your life is at the mercy of both technology and fate permanently changes the chemistry of your brain cells

- there is something truly clarifying about being in a shelter while hypersonic missiles dance overhead. You look at the person you’re in the shelter with - is this the one I want to share the terror of imminent extinction with? Have I lived well? Did I treat my family and friends right? Have I forgiven?

- while I was afraid on several occasions, I still consider it the privilege of a lifetime to witness history in the making

- the frisson of real danger cannot be replicated in our safe, prosperous societies back home. It is invigorating and forces one to jettison all utopian and luxury beliefs

- it’s inspiring to see young people exhibit qualities that in the West hasn’t been seen since WWII - resilience, duty and sacrifice

- the delta between what was going on in the kinetic war and the information war was observable; too many lies were spread in the fog of war which were far too easily believed (some big account confidently asserted that 1/3 of Tel Aviv was destroyed, which I could see with my own eyes was clearly not the case)

- there is a lot more diversity of opinion inside Israel than is apparent from the outside

- the shared, bedrock consensus that has been hammered into the consciousness of Jews because of their deep history and sense of self is a great strength the West sorely needs to emulate

Mamdani is basically what would happen if you pulled some random kid out of the Columbia Hamas encampment and made them Mayor

[Ami Kozak @amiKozak]

Notice when Israel kills civilians unintentionally, the world condemns it and calls Israel a monster. But when Israeli civilians are killed intentionally, the world calls for cease fires and an end to war.

Specific condemnation for Israel when it’s deemed the culprit and perpetrator Vs. General condemnation for war when Israel is attacked.

A morally relativistic double standard sleight of hand always at play.

[Trey Yingst @TreyYingst]

The emergency room at Soroka was still operating when we arrived. One Palestinian doctor had an IV port in his hand and cuts on his arm. He was still working, treating Muslim and Jewish patients, despite being wounded in the ballistic missile strike.

[Lizzy B @Leezard3]

I’m old enough to remember when an errant Islamic Jihad rocket hit the parking lot of Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza and within minutes, every single news outlet blamed Israel in the most vicious ways, resulting in a near pogrom in Russia with hundreds of people hunting to find Jews and kill them, and yet when an Iranian ballistic missile actually targeted and hit an Israeli hospital, all said news outlets are suddenly silent

My Fellow Countrymen,

The Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing. Khamenei, like a frightened rat, has gone into hiding underground and has lost control of the situation. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together, we will pass through this sharp turn in history.

In these difficult days, my heart is with all the defenseless citizens who have been harmed and have fallen victim to Khamenei's warmongering and delusions. For years, I have tried to prevent our homeland from being consumed by the fire of war.

The end of the Islamic Republic is the end of its 46-year war against the Iranian nation.

The regime’s apparatus of repression is falling apart. All it takes now is a nationwide uprising to put an end to this nightmare once and for all.

Now is the time to rise; the time to reclaim Iran. Let us all come forward—from Bandar Abbas to Bandar Anzali, from Shiraz to Isfahan, from Tabriz to Zahedan, from Mashhad to Ahvaz, from Shahr-e Kord to Kermanshah—and bring about the end of this regime.

Do not fear the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic. Iran will not descend into civil war or instability. We have a plan for Iran’s future and its flourishing. We are prepared for the first hundred days after the fall, for the transitional period, and for the establishment of a national and democratic government—by the Iranian people and for the Iranian people.

To the military, law enforcement, security forces, and state employees—many of whom have been sending me messages in recent days—I say: Do not stand against the Iranian people for the sake of a regime whose fall has begun and is inevitable. Do not sacrifice yourselves for a decaying regime. By standing with the people, you can save your lives. Play a historic role in the transition from the Islamic Republic, and take part in building the future of Iran.

A free and flourishing Iran lies ahead of us. May we be together soon.

Long live Iran!
Long live the Iranian nation!
