I’m going to ask for one the next time I fly Vueling
Vueling Airlines, now giving complimentary yellow star patches to all Jewish kids who fly with them.
I have been making a version of this argument since Oct 7 but it hasn't quite caught on babylonbee.com/news/gaza-said…
People wonder why Israel needs to exist x.com/HenMazzig/stat…
Breaking: One of the French Jewish teenagers thrown off a plane in Spain testifies about what happened and what was said to cause such a reaction.
What a shame. I wonder what he means by alternative methods x.com/AmitSegal/stat…
Steve Witkoff: We have decided to bring our team home from Doha for consultations after the latest response from Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or…
Oh sure. Holocaust survivor- 'Token Jew'. I got some bad news for you. There are other Holocaust survivors who say the same thing. And, I'm fact, there are Jews in every anti-genocide march. Only psychopaths defend genocide.
A friend of mine told the following story on another social media platform today:
Why isn't this story all over the news in Western countries hemedialine.org/top-stories/th…
Fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of this war. The Palestinians see it as existential. It’s not about money.
Everyone in my social circle has been commenting on this ever since Oct 7. What makes it even stranger is the level of hostility expressed when you point this out. Disagreeing with someone is fine. Anti-social behavior is not. The Guardian sounds like a German paper from the…
The trivialization of quasi nazi antisemitic rhetoric in the western world is astounding lately. The vocabulary, the prejudices, the generalizations, the accusations, it all reeks of 1930s Europe.
Most people will find very soon they have no choices left b/c people catered to their wants and needs, and refused to recognize that reality always wins, and we can't tax our way to prosperity OR freedom.
This is incorrect. Haganah was created before any Arab 'violence' as steps to start separating the Jewish population from the rest of Palestine. It was specifically founded as a successor to a paramilitary org called Bar Giora by a Russian Jewish supremacist Israel Schochat who…
Michael Lind does his usual excellent analysis of why things happen and who they benefit x.com/thephilippics/…
Forget all the Marxist / socialist / left takes on Mamdani's victory in the Dem primary - if you really want to understand the class politics of his win, you only need to read this brilliant piece by Michael Lind. telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/202…
University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape and Air Force Institute of Technology analyst James Feldman have recently made the same argument, in their new book, that aerial bombing is for colonial powers and suicide bombers for anti-colonial guerillas
"Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.” Columbia Prof Mamdani wrote this. His son, NYC mayoral-candidate Zohran, refuses to condemn "Globalize the intifada." Coincidence?
Good to know that if you have a luxury condo as an investment property, Mamdani wants to seize it. Aside from the idea of confiscating private property being bizarre, how on earth would he do that?
Zionists will put themselves in a situation where everyone hates their guts and then cry out when the people they oppress retaliate. You have zero right to live in Palestine, israelis are roleplaying as an iron age people.
On Oct 8th 2023, DSA co-sponsored a rally in Times Square pledging their solidarity to the terrorists who had just raped & slaughtered 400 young people at a music festival. Two years later, NYC will elect a DSA torchbearer as its mayor. I am so disappointed in all of you.
I keep coming back to this idea: it only took four years for the Overton window to shift to a place where Zohran Mamdani’s antisemitism is not considered a dealbreaker.
