Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.
And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.
And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."
Gentilissima pseudo deputata Stefania Ascari,
non so a chi Lei si riferisse quando ieri, in occasione della Festa della Repubblica Italiana, ha detto:《Ricordate che tutti e tutte noi siamo la palestina.》
Beh, io e gli italiani veri siamo cittadini italiani e nulla abbiamo a che spartire con la palestina.
Le dirò di più: io voglio proprio ignorare la palestina, perché non mi tornino alla mente gli orrori compiuti dai signori della palestina il 7 ottobre 2023.
Aggiungo: Benjamin Netanyahu non è un criminale di guerra fin tanto che la Corte Penale Internazionale non lo avrà processato e condannato per crimini di guerra.
Fino ad allora sarà il capo del legittimo governo dello Stato di Israele che ha dichiarato guerra ai macellai palestinesi di Gaza che si sono resi responsabili del 7 ottobre.
Mentre Lei è pagata per risolvere i problemi degli italiani non dei suoi amici tagliagole a cui ha anche schifosamente raccolto fondi per finanziarli quando, ci sono tanti italiani che le pagano lo stipendio che avrebbero bisogno. È comunque noto che per i pentaindegni la dignità è una parola sconosciuta.
Cordialmente.
Ci siamo passati in tanti.
Tanta stima per @pinapic , persona coraggiosa e con le idee giuste (e il coraggio necessario).
Se vorrà rimanere nell’alveo del centrosinistra, tanti auguri sinceri e buona fortuna.
Se invece vorrà costruire al di fuori delle due coalizioni, la disponibilità mia e del @Partito_Libdem a costruire insieme, senza egocentrismi e senza imporre leadership a priori.
Questo paese è sempre più miserabile. Tra poco chiederanno agli universitari il giuramento di fedeltà al palestinismo.
Erri De Luca non terrà la prolusione al Salerno Letteratura, dopo le parole su Israele e Gaza - HuffPost Italia https://t.co/tOCy70kLuW
Ireland defense for supplying roughly 90% of EU alumina exports to Russia is that the EU never sanctioned alumina.
But when it came to Israel, Ireland didn't wait for the EU.
Dublin pushed ahead with its own Occupied Territories legislation, openly challenging the EU's common trade policy and arguing that moral considerations required action.
Apparently, "we can't act without Brussels" applies to Russia, but not to Israel.
Interesting standard.
Perfetto, @ferrarailgrasso oggi sul @ilfoglio_it risponde a #Mattarella sul #Libano: se l’Italia si fosse trovata nella stessa situazione di Israele, sotto il fuoco incessante dei missili di una forza terroristica come #Hezbollah, avrebbe reagito esattamente come #Israele.
When a fly falls into a cup of coffee...
The Italian throws away the coffee, smashes the cup, and storms out in outrage.
The German carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it, and brews a fresh coffee.
The Frenchman removes the fly and drinks the coffee.
The Chinese man eats the fly and throws away the coffee.
The Russian drinks the coffee with the fly because it was free.
The Israeli sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese man, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
The Palestinian blames the Israeli because the fly fell into his coffee, files a complaint at the United Nations, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, spends the money on explosives, and then blows up the café where the Italian, Frenchman, Chinese man, German, and Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give his cup of coffee to the Palestinian so that peace can finally be achieved.
Rula Jebreal ha condiviso l'ennesimo video fake generato con AI - "soldati israeliani che distruggono una chiesa in Libano."
Bastava una ricerca di 30 secondi. Ma per chi vive di propaganda, la verità è un dettaglio.
Mentitrice seriale. 🤡
Wer glaubt, das Mullah-Regime werde durch Entgegenkommen milder, hat seine Logik nie begriffen. Kompromisse besänftigen Teheran nicht – sie ermutigen es. Jede ausgestreckte Hand gilt dort nicht als Friedensangebot, sondern als Eingeständnis von Schwäche, das zur nächsten Eskalation einlädt. Der Angriff auf den Flughafen Kuwait ist kein Ausbruch von Irrationalität, sondern das Ergebnis eines kühlen Kalküls, das der Westen aus Bequemlichkeit verdrängt: Stärke wird respektiert, Nachgiebigkeit bestraft.
This is inversion so callous it's hard to believe.
The Holocaust had a survival rate of about 30%. Millions of people disappeared from European cities and towns over several years. Everybody knew because it was happening all around them.
Gaza has a survival rate, despite the worst and most deadly and horrible periods of the war, of 97%.
All the dead Jews were noncombatants. A large percentage of the dead Gazans were combatants.
And the Jews of Europe, even as their millennia-old civilization was being systematically wiped out, wanted nothing from the societies that surrounded them except to be allowed to live in peace.
Gaza's leadership of religious fanatics, meanwhile, wants every last Israeli dead and gone, is willing to fight to the last Gazan to achieve that aim, has said so publicly and worked for decades to blow up every peace attempt -- and even now believes that Gaza's destruction would be a worthwhile sacrifice to lay on the altar of Israel's destruction, because their god told them so.
So Israelis can reasonably believe, given those features of the Gaza war that aren't true about any genocide ever, and were pretty much the opposite of what was happening in the Holocaust, that Gaza's suffering is a bad and painful war, but not remotely a genocide.
But the point of it all, of course, is not to analyze Gaza, but specifically to lump it together with the Holocaust -- to cast the Jews as the new Nazis.
The only reason this person would dare to make such an insanely ahistorical and immoral parallel is because this is the heart of the bigoted propaganda campaign in which he enthusiastically participates: The point of it all is to make the Jews into the Nazis.
A culture that obsessed about Jews being evil and was then shocked by the Holocaust into obsessing about dead Jews as the apotheosis of righteous victimhood is now obsessively engaged in knocking Jews off that moral pedestal they themselves put them on.
That's why they don't care one whit about Hamas massacres of Gazans, about genocidal wars in Syria or Yemen (even when they've funded and armed the sides), about flotilla activists currently held by the Libyans...literally nothing triggers a response except Jews.
They still, even after all these generations, no matter what else is happening in the world or in their own societies, can't stop thinking about Jews.
And as we Jews learned in the 1940s -- the actual, historical 1940s, not the weird fantasies conjured up by these bigots -- a whole society can be in the grip of a callous, destructive bigotry and still believe it is true and righteous.
@repubblica Si ma raccontatela tutta, riconosciuto come autore di stupri ripetuti durante il 7 ottobre e vari altri corollari , hanno fermato lui , mica tutti
I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.
He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.
This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.
2 Italian members of the Flotilla are detained in Libya.
Unfortunately for them, they weren't arrested by the evil Israelis, so nobody gives a fuck about them now 🤷
"It's okay for her to eat kids, but I can't choke her down?"
This is how blood libel becomes violence against Jews. People genuinely feel that attacking Jews is not just their right, but righteous.
This woman is claiming she can smell the dead children on a Jewish woman's breath in a subway in New York and people don't understand it when I say you can criticize Israel but you can't use blood libel to do it.
I don't know how it could be more obvious why.
Non ho nessuna simpatia né per la signora in questione, né per ciò che ha rappresentato in passato, né per i personaggi che furono coinvolti nelle sue trascorse vicende giudiziarie.
Ma mi chiedo che cosa stia diventando il dibattito pubblico di questo paese: un luogo in cui chiunque può sparare la notizia più sensazionale che riesce a immaginare, e istantaneamente - prima di essere sottoposta a qualsiasi valutazione di fondatezza - riesce a influenzare opinioni, dinamiche politiche, e ovviamente vite private.
Poi si scopre che è una colossale bufala. Ma nel frattempo lo scopo che doveva raggiungere è stato raggiunto.
Ditemi voi se vi va bene vivere in una “società libera e democratica” così.

If Israel had attacked four countries tonight, the podcaster class would be up in arms.
Iran just attacked four countries, they haven’t said a word.
Weird.
