Will Jewish communities be asked to condemn these extreme statements from the Chief Rabbi of the self-proclaimed Jewish state, in the same way that Muslim communities for 25 years have been asked to condemn extreme statements from every random imam anywhere in the world?
“There is zero intent by Israel to eliminate Palestinians” except for the daily genocidal claims from multiple members of the Israeli government, Knesset, and media, that we all see and hear with our own eyes and ears.
The gaslighting from Israel’s American apologists doesn’t work anymore.
This is 7D level chess by PM Mark Carney 🔥
🇨🇦 Carney: "Don't challenge Canada. We fuel American growth by supplying 99% of your natural gas, 85% electricity, 60% crude oil imports. I don't think You want us to stop that."
Trump is trapped from all sides 🔥
I’m Jewish and what Ruffalo said is common sense. Israel’s wholesale murdering of Palestinians is being done with Oracle technology. The Ellison’s betray everything it is to be Jewish with their rancid behavior.
Charlie would have mourned Hasan?
Charlie Kirk, onstage, mocked the killing of Palestinians in Gaza, made jokes about the destruction of Gaza, and watched his audience laugh along.

🇨🇱No hay razón para que @MinagriCL se retracte.
Representante de Trump no puede mandar a callar a ministros chilenos.
Por supuesto, si quisiera, es libre de quitarles visas; pero no para chantajearlos (como ya ha hecho).
Hay sistematicidad en el maltrato que Chile está recibiendo
Democrats on my timeline claiming the party should distance from Hasan Piker because he was singing a song mocking Charlie Kirk, but here’s Bill Maher, and a New York Times reporter joking about the death of Jason Arday, and the audience laughing. Will Dems boycott Maher now?
Working paper del Nobel de economía Acemoglu: "Finalmente, demostramos que, partiendo de una democracia, la acumulación de capital y [...] una mayor automatización, incentiva a los capitalistas a apoyar un golpe de Estado contra la democracia y a establecer un sistema represivo."
The oddest part of Mike Pence's new book is his inability to grapple with what really happened on J6. He refers to the people who wanted to see him swing from the gallows that day as Trump's "most passionate allies" and suggests that Biden's attempts to cancel student debt posed a bigger threat to the constitutional order than what happened on January 6 and concludes that Trump 2.0 reestablished that order. This is the person who wants to right the ship of conservatism, and that is why there is no course correction on the horizon. The GOP base doesn't want it, and the GOP leaders like Pence are riddled with too many contradictions to make it happen. I wrote about it for @commonwealmag: https://t.co/vmxAlwQJbg
Mehdi Hassan Presses Joe Walsh on Why Ukraine Is “Genocide” but Gaza Isn’t
Mehdi Hassan: You have been an outspoken opponent of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, going as far as to call it a genocide. But when it comes to Gaza, you've criticized people for calling Gaza a genocide.
Why is what's happening in Ukraine a genocide, but not what's happening in Gaza, when far more people have been killed and displaced in Gaza than in Ukraine?
Joe Walsh: I think it goes to motive and intent. I think Putin is trying to kill Ukrainian civilians. His intent is to kill civilians.
Mehdi Hassan: Even though Israeli government members have said far more genocidal stuff than Vladimir Putin has?
Joe Walsh: Completely. There are extreme members of Israel's government...
Mehdi Hassan: Not just extreme members, the President, the Prime Minister.
What I find fascinating is that you're happy to say genocide here, but if you say it there, you get mad. I don't get it.
Joe Walsh: I don't get mad. I just think Putin's intent is to eliminate the Ukrainian people...
Mehdi Hassan: Based on what?
Why are Israel's words and actions not the same?
Joe Walsh: Israel's actions and words, again, you can find some...
Mehdi Hassan: Some? We'd be here all day if I started reading out all the genocidal statements from Israeli cabinet ministers.
Just a few days ago, the Deputy Speaker of the Israeli Parliament said Palestinian civilians are “scum” and “subhuman,” and that the women and children should be separated so the men can all be killed.
I have not even heard Putin say that.
Joe Walsh: Well, I would condemn that statement...
Mehdi Hassan: That's a genocidal statement.
Joe Walsh: That is a genocidal statement. I'm saying, Mehdi, that is a very minority view overall in Israel.
Mehdi Hassan: But that is the Israeli government, Joe! They're the people killing the Palestinians right now!
Benjamin Netanyahu said, “They are Amalek.” What is Amalek, Joe? In the Bible, Amalek is “kill everybody ,men, women, children, even the donkeys.”
I didn't hear Putin say that.
Joe Walsh: Mehdi, again, I can find extreme things that members of Israel's government have said.
If Israel wanted to exterminate the Palestinian people, they could have done it in three months.
Mehdi Hassan: That's the worst argument you've ever made in all the time I've known you.
Vladimir Putin could have erased everyone in Ukraine with a nuke.
So your argument is Israel is not genocidal because they haven't killed everyone in Gaza and they could.
According to Joe Walsh's logic, Vladimir Putin is not genocidal either.
And by the way, the definition of genocide is not to kill everyone in a place.
Joe Walsh: I know that.
Mehdi Hassan: But what they've done meets many of the criteria of genocide, which is why they're in front of the ICJ, and why leading genocide scholars are saying it's a genocide.
Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Daniel Blatman they all say it's genocide.
Joe Walsh: I respect those opinions, but I don't think that's the majority view.
Mehdi Hassan: Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch say genocide.
Human rights groups, Israeli Holocaust historians, Joe Walsh.
With respect, what do you know that they don't know?
