"Dr Adam Smith has very justly observed, that nations, as well as individuals, grow rich by parsimony, and poor by profusion; and that, therefore, every frugal man was a friend, and every spendthrift an enemy to his country."

@KosherChutzpah What yo think you're doing: Make people re-assess their harsh stance .
What you're actually doing: Confirm to people why they have that harsh stance.
I like Israel and don't want US tax dollars to bomb children for fatasses like Ben Gvir and land hoes like Smotrich. Sorry.
@ggreenwald All he had to do is keep his self profit obsessed son in law and daughter out of the second term. He got plenty of feedback on that front in the first term. Too much to ask.
@bungarsargon Appreciate your pro US worker stances and caring about Jewish safety, Batya, but nothing changes until there's acknowledgement that the collateral death count, bombing decimation was grossly high because settlers/Kikkud took advantage of 10/7 for land lust, at innocent life cost.
@SethDillon if by "the Jews" you mean opportunistic profiteering neocons (plenty of which aren't and just want the payoff) and tone-def israeli settler/land hungry types who think people will ignore mass/cleary offensive collateral ignoring US propped bombing of civs?
@Villgecrazylady Good? It's cartoonish and silly and embarrasses the hack NGOs trying to pretend it should be taken seriously. Own goal? Also, cakeshop should have used this whining for advertising rather than apologize.
@Villgecrazylady Kind of hoping they'll get lots of calls (though doubt SA has that tractin). Hospitals neutrally love to bill everybody. "Fire this person, they trigger me!" vs "How could you fire this person, they did nothing wrong?" wars are bad for business and might wake up bigshots there.
“If you’re under 35 years old and you’re MAGA, the support for Israel is virtually zero," says Steve Bannon. Read about Curt Mills—journalist and leading voice of the anti-Israel right—in @williamalden's new profile, now out from behind the paywall. https://t.co/JP5eAmDEAd
Apparently the word "goy" is in discussion because Epstein used it.
Member of the faith. My two cents.
It's a slur, used by yokels/egotists to feel superior, or release anger.
Nonslur uses exist but nowhere near as common.
I don't use it because I'm not superior. None should
@ikleinit@willchamberlain I care when a land speculator circles a region, and waits for an opportunity like 10/7 as excuse to go get that region, and when bodies of innocents pile up, uses my faith (and yours) as excuse to shut people up. It doesn't work. They (rightly) get more upset
@ikleinit@willchamberlain Not a chance. I have no interest with being popular with anti-Israel groups. But, at the same time, I have zero interest as being group used by some land speculators and arms dealers playing "antisemitism" cards to line their pockets and shut down uncomfortable death count talk
