With a high salary, a $50,000 signing bonus, no university requirement, and an overtly racist mission, this “law enforcement” agency is no doubt going to recruit — and then arm — the most vicious and stupid people in the country, and then unleash them upon the rest of us. [2/2]
These are real posts from the White House and Department of Homeland Security recruiting for ICE. This is racist, fascist propaganda. And I mean that literally. It isn’t hyperbole. [1/2]
… which put her dismissal on hold until it could rule on the legality of the highly irregular manner in which it was done. Netanyahu has not said anything about his communications minister’s illegal instruction. [2/2]
Israeli communications minister — and Netanyahu bootlicker — Shlomo Karhi has instructed employees of his ministry to disregard all communications from the attorney general. This is in direct opposition to orders from the high court… [1/2]
…because they, much like Trump, do not respect expertise, and only want government employees to serve as rubber stamps for their deranged plans. [2/2]
Behind closed doors, the head of the IDF reportedly expressed his opposition to the Israeli government’s plans to repccupy Gaza. That is his job — to share his professional opinion with the decision makers. Members of the government then went on to publicly attack him…[1/2]
I encounter a lot of Jews who reflexively defend everything the Israeli government does, but will then have “liberal” or “anti-Trump” or whatever written in their bio. Is this finally enough to make them realize that the Trump & Netanyahu regime are peas in a terrible pod? [2/2]
The Israeli government illegally voted today to fire the attorney general — one of the few officials willing to consistently call out and oppose the government’s frequent illegal acts. [1/2]
The Trump regime has announced that it will deny disaster preparedness funding to any cities or states that boycott Israeli companies. Anybody who thinks this helps Israel or American Jews has lost their fucking mind.
A full occupation would require huge amounts of manpower for an extended period of time, all while the government does all it can to continue exempting the ultra-orthodox — the fastest growing segment of Israeli society — from military service. This government is pushing Israel off a cliff. [2/2]
Hebrew media is reporting that the Israeli government has made the decision to fully reoccupy Gaza, despite the opposition of Israel’s national security advisor and the heads of the IDF and the Mossad. [1/2]
In church, a bishop asked Trump to show mercy to vulnerable populations. This is how triggered he got.
Two major Iranian terror assets on our borders (Hamas and Hezbollah) have been devastated. So at least there’s that. [2/2]
Israelis have had a terrible year. Far too many have been displaced and killed. Our government is filled with psychopaths and incompetents who have abandoned the hostages to die. Our international reputation has taken a hit from which it may never recover. But… [1/2]
Two major Iranian m terror assets on our borders (Hamas and Hezbollah) have been devastated. So at least there’s that. [2/2]
The hatred for Israel among many left-wing politicians in the USA and Europe is based in antisemitism, despite the fact that they have token Jews who support their positions, as is the ideological alliance between the far-left and Islamists. [8/8]
Bibi Netanyahu is a megalomaniac. Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are Judeo-fascists. Donald Trump was not, and will not be, a pro-Israel president. Many right-wing politicians in the USA and Europe are antisemitic, even if they “support” Israel. [7/8]
The fact that non-Judeans are sometimes welcomed as members of our nation by accepting our indigenous culture does not change any of the above. [6/8]
Jews are not a religion. We are a people connected by a complex and varying web of ancestry, history, and belief. The Hebrew word for Jews is Yehudim, which means people from Yehuda (which was transliterated as Judea). We are Judeans, people indigenous to Judea. [5/8]
The West Bank (Judea and Samaria) is an important part of the Jewish homeland, but Israel cannot and should not maintain sovereignty over it. The settlement movement, and particularly violent settler extremism, is the greatest threat to Israel’s future. [4/8]
Zionist Jews need to to a better job recognizing and criticizing Israel’s frequent moral failings toward Palestinians and minorities in Israel. Anti-Zionist Jews need to stop sacrificing the land-based nature of Jewish identity on the altar of progressive political orthodoxy. [3/8]
Palestinian culture and identity is Arab, and therefore foreign and colonial, but Palestinians are also descended from the indigenous people of this land and therefore have as much right to live here in freedom as Jews do. [2/8]
Here’s what I believe: Zionism is the most successful indigenous liberation movement in history and Israel has the absolute right to exist as the Jewish state. [1/8]
