Wait are we the Saudis or the US in this it’s hard to tell

The Saudis are not our allies. We should not be trading military technology with them. We should not be supporting them with our military. They are rampant violators of human rights and a state sponsor of terrorism.

FWIW, I like the MBS parody account.

These networks, which consist of a mixture of bots and abusive nationalists, have become incredibly common. Qahtani made a habit of harassing Arabic-speaking activists and journalists online, as did the networks he helped build. But most of them will be back before long. Twitter isn’t that interested in actually…

I like how apparently having policy differences with someone is a “mythical leftist purity test in which the only thing that matters is economic socialism”. It’s a primary. The whole point is to find a candidate whose policies we most agree with.

The WSJ has one of the stories. Now, there are good hard news reporters at WSJ who shouldn’t be lumped in with the garbage ideological opinion page or editorials. But it’s still a solid-right paper. When they publish things damaging to Trump, it must have passed some internal checks because it’s a paper with an…

Are we ready to admit that our vaunted system of checks and balances is broken and is now effectively Placebo Theater?

Can you point to the “antisemitic language” in the tweets? The tweets cited in this piece are not antisemitic - they’re legitimate criticisms of the actions of several generations of Israeli governments and of a vocal, influential stream of Zionism.

That’s kind of a gross way to look at it given Israel has violated the original treaties and agreements establishing its borders to unilaterally grab areas not agreed to be given over in the first place and been allowed to because ‘we need this to feel safe’.

The Israeli people participate in elections that result in Netanyahu’s party being in the majority and able to form a government, therefore... yes, he is ‘welcomed’ by his people in some weighty measure.

I feel like that's the whole point of labeling anybody who criticizes Israeli violence a racist and anti-semite; they get to avoid actually confronting their actions fitting the textbook definitions of Apartheid and (attempted?) genocide. The hypocrisy of belonging to a group that came so close to being eradicated by…

“ equating Jewishness with Israel foreign policy”

That phrase is not a hamas refrain. It was around decades before hamas was even founded. Hamas uses it. It originated in the 60s as a call For Palestinians to be free from Israeli occupation as well as other Arab countries rule. The only ones acting on to the river to the see is the Israeli government. Makes sense as…

Just to let you know that I’m purposefully ignoring your first paragraph because I’m not getting dragged into Jewish and Palestinians fearing for their lives for different reasons in Israel. Not gonna go there.

Being against the killing of Palestinian kids is a controversial viewpoint? Fun fact: in 2014, Israel killed so many kids they ended up having to put bodies in freezers.

Why the hell would you welcome a govt that wants you to either die or leave to be refugees in other countries. Bibi and his govt has stated that Israel will be for Jewish people and Jewish people alone.

Not really inclusive for Palestinians and their allies. But I guess that doesn’t matter as long as American Jews feel welcome.

Meanwhile: two anti-semites shaking hands

“I’m more afraid of racist Zionists who support Apartheid Israel than of the mentally ill young people the #FBI recruits to join ISIS.”

I am not sure I understand? The Israel apartheid is real, it is supported by racist Zionists. The Islamic state and the Israeli military ARE both murderous and HAVE both committed war crimes are they both terrorist groups? Well, the Islamic state is but there are COMPLETELY different rules for the Israeli military…
