Rational & sensible Democrat trying to stay sane in an insane world calling out tankies, fascists, anti-Semites, & racists. Zionist shill, Pro-democracy/west

[Mike🇺🇸🇺🇦 @CenTexLib]

And Israel literally *did* exactly as MLK suggested they do: they gave up the Sinai in exchange for peace!

So this was literally the weakest possible “evidence” you could have found.

All you are is a right-wing Islamist enjoying a brief alliance with the left because of one issue.

You’ll return to form during the next Democratic administration.

As Hamas terrorists were still being pursued inside Israel on Oct 8th for the single deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, you stood proudly at a protest in solidarity condemning Israel.

[Joel Berry @JoelWBerry]

In 1991 during the Gulf War, American A-10 Warthogs mistakenly targeted and opened fire on a column of allied British armored vehicles.

9 British soldiers were tragically killed. 11 more were injured.

Why haven't you heard about it? Why aren't there false-flag conspiracies? Why isn't Marjorie Taylor Greene posting on X about it?

Because Jews weren't involved.

[CanadaFella @maplebonk]

Shocking historical ignorance on display by an academic.

No, the Nazis killed 66% of European Jews inside of 4 years. Most killing inside of 2.5 years.

Meanwhile 98% of Gazans remain alive after 2.5 years and a good portion of the dead are militants.

Nothing like the Nazis.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

Are you kidding me?

A tattoo of the Israeli flag is worse than a Nazi symbol?

This should not be welcome in the Democratic Party!

[Jeremy Boreing @JeremyDBoreing]

No. The story was not overlooked or buried.

Israel immediately informed us the attack happened. There were numerous investigations. The Captain of the USS Liberty was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Israel apologized and paid reparations.

The truth is, it's just not a big story. It's a tragic story, and no doubt. But it isn't a big story.

34 Americans died on the USS Liberty in 1967.

11,363 Americans died in the jungles of Vietnam in 1967.

Friendly Fire is horrific, but not uncommon. There is very little reason for a sixty-year old friendly fire incident to be widely known about, much less widely discussed.

For example, that same year, 1967, a US Marine Corp jet attacked a US Army position on Hill 875 in Vietnam, killing 42 American soldiers.

59 years later, not many remember Hill 875, not because it wasn't horrific -- it killed more Americans than the attack on the USS Liberty -- but because it isn't useful as a talking point to implicate the US/Israel relationship.

As to the second part of your question, we aren't discussing the USS Liberty today because of new information. We are discussing the USS Liberty today because of old -- even ancient -- grudges.

[NickFrank40 @NickyFrank30]

I've said this before, but a lot of moderate, pragmatic Democrats are sitting on the sidelines, letting people like me fight the left, while they just sit quietly and tell me some version of "better you than me," but you have to understand something:
Your silence is not only making them believe they are the majority, but it's also a sign of cowardice and weakness, and feeds into the belief that moderate liberals are the weakest people in politics. I understand you think it's not worth fighting them because they're insane and vicious and you don't want to deal with their bullshit, but then you're just showing their tactics work.
Stop making demands that the DNC or Schumer or Jeffries or whoever crush the left. They are defeated. If you want to fix this, do it yourself.
Or don't, and let them win, then lose in 2028. Your choice.

Funny the number of similarities so many on the far left have to the far right, yet they don’t have any clue.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

[Claire @Claire_V0ltaire]

Nelson Mandela demanded the right to vote in their own nation.

The ANC targeted operations to harm gov infrastructure and later apologized for unintentional civilian death as a result of "insufficient training".

Hamas and Barghouti demand the right to massacre and kidnap civilians and the complete annihilation of the Jewish state.

That’s not resistance.
That’s just genocidal terrorism.

Your lies of Mandela supporting Marwan are blatant and just as genocidal!

[Tony Buzbee @TonyBuzbee2]

I was Paxton’s lead lawyer in the fraudulent impeachment. Our team consisted of more than twenty lawyers. I understand that my friend Dan Cogdell publicly supports AG Paxton’s opponent. I’m not surprised by this. Mr. Cogdell is a life-long Democrat. I also understand that Mr. Cogdell recently got crossways with AG Paxton concerning some real estate development that Paxton opposed and Cogdell represented. AG Paxton (and Governor Abbott) alleged that the developer sought to impose Sharia law. Now you know the rest of the story.

I firmly support AG Paxton for US Senate.

📌Committee to Protect Journalists has quietly removed 8 fake Gaza "journalists" because it finally admitted they "participated in combat." @pressfreedom issued over 100 articles since 10/7 slamming Israel but not ONE mention that Hamas & PIJ abused the press vest for combat. 1/

[Eileen Filler-Corn @EFillerCorn]

Increasingly, support for Israel has become subject to political litmus tests in some corners of Democratic politics, while antisemitism is too often excused, minimized, or ignored.

Zionism did not emerge from privilege or power. It grew out of centuries of persecution, expulsions, pogroms, inquisitions, and the repeated denial of the Jewish people’s right to live safely and freely. It was never about conquest. It was about self-determination, security, and survival in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people.

To characterize Zionism as colonialism is to disregard both Jewish history and the reality that Jews have maintained a continuous connection to the land of Israel for thousands of years.

For more than 75 years, Israelis have lived under the constant threat of terrorism, war, and those who openly seek the destruction of the Jewish state. Any honest conversation about the conflict must begin with that reality. And must also acknowledge the horrors of October 7.

More than 1,200 people were murdered. Hundreds were kidnapped and taken hostage. Families were slaughtered in their homes. Men, women, children, and the elderly were brutally attacked.
There are documented acts of torture, sexual violence, and unspeakable brutality. Entire families were burned alive. People were targeted not because of anything they had done, but because they were Jews and because they lived in Israel.

When discussions of this conflict minimize, excuse, or ignore these atrocities, they fail to recognize the trauma that Israelis and Jews around the world continue to carry. A commitment to human rights and human dignity requires acknowledging these horrors, condemning them unequivocally, and rejecting any effort to justify or rationalize them.

We can and should debate policies, governments, and leaders. But criticism of Israel that ignores Jewish history, dismisses Jewish self-determination, or holds the Jewish state to standards NOT applied to any other nation raises serious concerns.

At a time when antisemitism is rising at alarming levels, we should be working to combat hatred and misinformation, not amplifying narratives that erase Jewish history, deny Jewish self-determination, or contribute to the isolation of the world’s only Jewish state!

Antisemitism is antisemitism. It should never be tolerated, excused, minimized, or normalized, regardless of whether it comes from the political left, the political right, or anywhere in between.

In September of 2007 I was working an NSA watch floor. During the ‘hand down’ brief (shift change) some folks working a MENA shop informed us that Israel had destroyed a covert nuke site in Syria. They’d used electronic jammers to fly silent and destroy the site in the dead of night. The Syrians had the site bulldozed over before the sun came because they did not want to acknowledge their violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel allowed it to stay silent because they wanted to avoid conflict from spreading in the region or possibly further. This is now all declassified. Google it.

Israel does stuff like that….A LOT. Now, 20 years later, they have become a technological superpower that punches further above its weight than any country its size in human history. To reject Israel as an ally would be the height of stupidity. China sure hopes we view them as an enemy, that I can tell you.

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

"DC Elites" is just the left version of "The Deep State"; a vague, meaningless term for people to dismiss bad behavior and scandals by their chosen candidate, without actually addressing any of the substance.

Really is just Left MAGA.

All these children were kidnapped or murdered by Palestinians on October 7th.

Not in a war zone. Not in the vicinity of war. In their homes and cribs.
