Zohran did not attack "his Jewish constituents"
He criticized AIPAC, which self-identifies as a pro-Israel group and *not* as a Jewish group
ADL is putting words in his mouth in order to fabricate an anti-Semitism charge and censor speech critical of AIPAC
Liar in Hebrew is כזב same as in Arabic كذاب (kazzab).
But I don't know if there is a word for كذاب شنيع heinous, blatant, offensive, vile & depravedly vicious SYSTEMATIC liar.
If this surprises you, you probably didn't know Ben Gvir was at a wedding where they danced to the hit Israeli song "Ali Is On The Grill", which celebrates the burning alive of an 18-month-old Palestinian child, while stabbing his picture
Chuck Schumer, Dan Goldman, Jerry Nadler, Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, Vanessa Gibson, and Mark Levine all marched in a parade with this wanted war criminal just two weeks ago.
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
These arguments about Jewish right of return to Tunisia and Morocco crumble when one notices that Jews who emigrated to Israel can return to Tunisia and Morocco any time they wish. Some actually have!
I'm perfectly fine with this.
If it was up to me Weiss would be Editor-in-Chief of US Corporate Media, Inc.
A little clarity about how these organisations actually work would be a welcome development.
Let the mask come off.
The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:
If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
In the last 24 hours I have repeatedly started, then deleted, a post responding to the nasty anti-Muslim, racist attacks against @HamawyForNJ. I keep trying to find the words for the forceful, eloquent defense Dr. Hamawy deserves, but I can't. I'm too angry.
So let me be crystal fucking clear to the scum at that dishrag of a "newspaper", @nypost, the shameless editors of the @nytimes, the vapid hucksters of @FoxNews, and gutless cowards like @RepMikeLawler and @RepMoskowitz:
Adam Hamawy is a hero and a patriot with more courage and integrity than any of you could dream of.
Unlike Jared Moskowitz or Mike Lawler, he actually served this country in uniform, deploying to wars *we* started so he could stitch up our wounded troops. There are people who are alive today ONLY because Adam Hamawy was their doctor when it counted. One of them is your colleague, Senator Tammy Duckworth.
In Gaza, he pieced together children blown up by AMERICAN bombs you ghouls shipped over there. Bombs dropped by our supposed allies. They offered to evacuate him on account of his American passport. But he refused to leave his patients or his crew until the criminal apartheid state allowed a new rotation of doctors in.
That's a level of courage and moral conviction that neither Lawler or Moskowitz nor any other lawmaker participating in this nasty campaign could hope to achieve.
For you to question his patriotism or his Americanness in service to a foreign dictator is pathetic.
You trot out our troops like stage props when you want a photo op, but you wouldn't know real service if it was handed to you on a platter at an AIPAC dinner.
Your despicable smear against this war hero doctor spits in the face of everyone who has ever served. Including my father.
But the jig is up on your crybully routine. There's no amount of Islamophobic hysteria you can spin up that will make millions of Americans forget the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians you gleefully pushed into death, disease, and displacement with OUR money and weapons.
Whatever you're selling, only AIPAC is buying. Adam Hamawy is going to Congress, and you can go to hell.
Their absence of self-awareness is a serious pathology. They just killed 3k civilians (really, civilians) and are complaining that their invading soldiers are facing some risks WHILE INVADING.
If Hezbollah killed 41 Israelis today, the antisemitism industry would describe it as a barbaric and savage massacre.
When Israel kills 41 Lebanese people, they call it a ceasefire.
