Hi I’m an American Jew who just landed in Israel yesterday. Today I’ll be telling you what Israel should do, as clearly I know better than 10.2 million people and their democratically elected leadership. I’m not fluent in Hebrew or Arabic, I’ve never fought in IDF, lost my children to a terrorist attack, or had to run to a mamad, but I understand Israel better than Israelis. You see, Palestinians have been incessantly attacking israel for the last 80 years, but my brilliant insight is it’s all Israel’s fault. Israel should make concessions and capitulate to the Palestinian’s Nazi terrorist agenda. If you love my sparkling wit, vote for me US president 2028. As president, I promise to throw Israel under the bus in numerous sadistic ways.
@atrupar Erdogan has recently called for the destruction of Israel and conquering of Jerusalem, so yes let’s not give him our most prized stealth fighter jets
@BriannaWu@KathrynPaisner Not to mention the hundreds of soldiers Israel lost through the ground war in Gaza. They could have just as easily blown up the buildings without sending its soldiers into booby trapped buildings one by one.
You don't get to body slam the Jewish state over and over -- ignoring other conflicts, ignoring the context and history and geopolitics of this part of the world, relishing in your apparent ignorance -- and then wonder why anyone at your concert says mean things about Jews.
"My body, my choice." Except when a Muslim mayor says cover up. Then it's "my body for votes."
Since yesterday, when I criticized AOC, I have been under attack by her fellow feminists and colleagues calling me Islamophobic. Really? I have no fear of my beautiful mother, who wears her hijab traditionally without being a hypocrite.
I simply asked you, AOC: you represent New York, you said the hijab is fun, and that's why you wore it at an event where men and women are strictly segregated and you gave a speech with a smile saying "this is fun." So I asked: would you also attend a court hearing facing the fifth assassin hired by the Islamic regime, to condemn a terror attack on New York soil? And that makes me Islamophobic? Or does it make you a hypocrite, someone who just takes photos, collects likes, and calls it inspiration, but isn't comfortable condemning terror attacks carried out by Islamic ideology on New York soil?
Iranian women live under the constant fear of lashes, imprisonment, execution, and assassins who follow them even beyond their borders into exile. Phobia is an irrational fear but our fear of being killed is not irrational.
I simply asked you to condemn Islamic terror that creates a sphere of fear on New York soil as well. And now I'm waking up being bombarded by your team, attacking and bullying me.
The invitation still stands: Iranian women who were intentionally blinded by the Islamic Republic, simply for showing their hair and protesting came to New York courtroom last public trial, to condemn Islamic terror, So my question is clear ; will you come with Zohran Mamdani to a courtroom in August to witness yet another assassin sent to New York soil by the Islamic regime to Kew, a woman on US soil?
@AOC
@JakeSherman@RepLuna@RepSwalwell The one who hosted members of the Duma while Russia was providing Iran with targeting data on expensive US military equipments and American troops?
Recent moves suggest a clear asymmetry going into U.S.–Iran talks:
The U.S. appears to be:
1. Backing away from its own
ultimatum
2. Pressuring Pakistan to broker a
ceasefire (and helping draft the
message)
3. Urging Israel to halt operations in
Lebanon
4. Largely overlooking the closure
of the Strait of Hormuz
5. Signaling willingness to release
frozen Iranian funds
6. Indicating that talks will be
based on Iran’s original 10-
points framework
7. Sending the vice president for the
discussions with a regime it tried
to topple
Iran, meanwhile, simply shows up to the talks, and even didn't "open" the Straits as agreed.
While the administration’s effort to pursue a diplomatic solution and halt the cycle of escalation is commendable, The real issue is that Tehran likely assume it is entering the talks from a position of strength.
Ultimately, the administration will have to make a choice: accept a deal on terms largely shaped by Iran framed as a “gracious compromise”, or stand firm on its principles at the risk of another round of escalation.
At this stage, the least probable scenario to envision is Iran backing down.
Since Iran has taken a significant blow with serious economic consequences that shouldn’t be underestimated, Any agreement will, almost by definition, strengthen the regime. At the same time, another round of conflict is unlikely to bring it down, and its costs will only continue to rise.
Still, at this stage, it appears that one side is more eager to reach an agreement. We will soon see whether, and how, that urgency translates into actual progress at the negotiating table.
These are not easy choices.
