If Trump won’t fall back in line, then I think Israel should cut off America completely.
No more intelligence sharing. No more technology sharing. Nothing. Clean break.
A slur doesn't stop being a slur because teenagers started using it. Today's @nytimes "On Language" column treats the antisemitic slur "goyslop" as a fun linguistic curiosity rather than what it is: a term rooted in white supremacist conspiracy theories.
Normalizing this kind of language is dangerous. "Goyslop" is not just edgy slang. It combines "goy," the Hebrew word that colloquially refers to non-Jews, with "slop" to promote a conspiracy theory that Jewish people deliberately poison non-Jews with cheap food to keep them docile. It was coined and spread by antisemites and white supremacists. No amount of teenage adoption changes that origin.
Such terms spread negative stereotypes and conspiracy theories. Their normalization is exactly what the bigots who coined them aspire to. A bit more on this here: https://t.co/eHiz3qmayF

JD Vance likes to threaten Israel by pointing out how much of our weapons come from the US, but he completely ignores history. This dependency was manufactured by Washington. What does he want us to do, buy our jets from China? Or maybe he wants Israel to build its own?
Let's remind him that back in the 1980s, Israel was developing the Lavi, a fighter jet that would easily be one of the best in the world today. It was the US that pressured and forced Israel to cancel the project because American defense contractors didn't want the competition. You can't force us to shut down our independent fighter jet program to protect US corporate profits, and then turn around and complain that we rely on US jets. If Israel has to fully decouple and build its own platforms again, we can. But don't pretend this dependency wasn't your choice.
