@OrenKessler “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel.”
— Zuheir Mohsen, member of the PLO Executive Committee, 1977
Narrative violation warning:
Elders in my Arab village in Israel told me the richest Palestinians sold their land and left first. 80 years later, their grandkids now claim to be displaced victims.
I am so allergic to victim mindset. It boils my blood. ~15 million displaced Hindus and Muslims in India-Pakistan around the SAME year. No one is trying to be a victim there. It's time to move on.
"You only get to be a victim once. After that, you’re a volunteer."
@NYCMayor The "Nakba" (catastrophe) was directly caused by the Arab refusal to accept the partition plan in 1948, which led to a war that they initiated and subsequently lost. While 1948 was indeed a tragedy for many Arabs, losing a war you started does not make you a victim.
The editor of the NYT opinion section was forced to resign for allowing @TomCottonAR to merely write an editorial that triggered the NYT snowflake millennial staff. Surely a head should roll for this journalistic travesty.
The @nytimes received a detailed report weeks in advance documenting Hamas's systematic sexual violence on October 7. The Times chose not to cover it.
Then, the night before that report was released, it published a lengthy column alleging that Israeli soldiers used dogs to rape Palestinian detainees, claims they acknowledged they could not independently quantify.
So when given a choice between a meticulously documented report and a far less substantiated allegation, the Times ignored the stronger evidence and elevated the weaker one. And it did so at the precise moment the documented evidence was about to become public. 🧐🤥

@Jason@JoshShapiroPA Do your Russian friends say Putin causes hatred toward all Russians? Or that the Ayatollah causes hatred toward all Persians?
Or is that standard only used by some people when they don’t like the leader of the Jewish state?
I’m confused. Defensive military aid stops rockets aimed at innocent children and families. So, why oppose it?
We provide defensive military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kenya, etc. @AOC Should we cut all of them off? Or is that your policy just for the Jews?
Dear @TomSteyer,
You and your friends at the DNC have sadly lost your way.
In a political system awash in money from billionaires, super PACs, and foreign governments, a resolution that singles out @AIPAC alone is just a moral tell.
(Also, you are a hypocrite.)
Let me explain:
Rubio:
Listen, let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics religious fanatic lunatics. They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism. That the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things. And this is the weakest they've ever been. Now is the time to go after them. The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their Navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things so that they can never have a nuclear weapon. That's why the president made this decision. It was the right decision. And the world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons. You see how they're using them. Now imagine how they would use them a year from now if they had more of these
