The Jewish people, the State of Israel, and radical Zionism are three separate things. You can love one without loving the others.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Although the ADL has a loud voice, as an American who is Jewish, it does not speak for me nor my community.

What’s happening here is that the 30% of the country that wants, like Mike Johnson, to impose its right wing religious values on the country using state power is falsely accusing the 1.3% of the US population that is Muslim of wanting to impose their religion on the country using state power.

Attacking a synagogue in Metro Detroit is not protesting US and Israeli aggression, it's an act of blatant antisemitism.

I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

If @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov go through with funding billions more for Trump's apocalyptic Iran war, congrats, the tail has successfully wagged the dog.

Call them; demand NO more πŸ’° for this illegal war. That's how we get forever wars. Just get out.

So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.

Marco Rubio invoked a medieval antisemitic trope in justifying war with Iran It's deceptive and conspiratorial to suggest that Israel forced the US into this conflict

I wrote about the US strategy of making Israel the public face of an unpopular war that the US decided to fight, and how it parallels the way the Christian sovereign would use the Court Jew to take the fall for bad decisions made by the ruler: forward.com/opinion/8096...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

I remember camping out at the record store to get tickets as soon as they opened and scalpers tried to get in line with us Heads. We all bought our tickets, and kept the scalpers occupied until the shows were sold out.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

My dad used to joke about the 2 minute warning in football, saying the refs go to all the players and "warn them to be good for the last two minutes" of the game.

This feels like that. I'd have a hard time not laughing at someone wagging their finger saying "I'm warning you". These guys are 🀑
