Again, another blog that doesn’t mention the planned trip was sponsored by a terrorist sympathizing, neo-Nazi liking group called Miftah. Also, Israeli law states that anyone who supports the boycott of Israel may be banned from the country.

Because everybody just thought Israel was going to sit around and do nothing while Omar and Tlaib basically tried to tip toe around blatantly saying “Fuck Israel?”

I just want to make sure... this is the guy who had Malcolm X assassinated, right?

I'm listening to a great podcast about this at the moment-Uncover: Escaping NXIVM. It's based around interviews with a woman who spent 12 years as a high level member of both NXIVM and DOS.

what country are you talking about? Iran? That’s a theocracy, but Iran is 99.5% Muslim and Israel is 75% Jewish. There are 120 members of the Knesset and 18 of them are Arab. How many Jews are in Iran’s parliament? Are you referring to Saudi Arabia? I hear people condemning MBS, but nobody in progressive circles is…

Israel has done some terrible things in Palestine, and I agree that criticizing that history and those policies isn’t the same as anti-Semitism. But if you think Israel/Palestine is a simple, black-and-white, good-vs-bad guys story, that may not be anti-Semitism but it’s also not the kind of self-questioning…

not to defend AIPAC, but they don’t give anyone money. They don’t directly contribute to any politician

I’m a proud California liberal. I own and operate a firm that creates issue advocacy campaigns for nonprofits and progressive causes. I have dedicated my life to helping underserved populations, fighting injustice, and to give voice to the voiceless.

This. Anti-semitism isn’t only a problem on the right. The left is in denial and it’s about time it reckoned with the anti-semites among its ranks, in the US and elsewhere. And yes, Linda Sarsour definitely harbours anti-Semitic views that go far beyond simply being critical of the Israeli government. I wish more on…

Sarsour is horrible. She said that about Ali knowing that Ali is a victim of female genital mutilation.

Here’s the thing — I get this. I really do. I get it because it’s how, as a Jewish person, I feel about Israel. For Jews, Israel is a bit like your dad; embarrassing, possibly not totally emotionally rational, definitely has some good qualities, some bad ones, you guys disagree on stuff, possibly lots of stuff, but at…

Anyone out there believing the survivors of Keith Ellison? https://theslot.jezebel.com/keith-ellison-wins-democratic-primary-despite-abuse-all-1828357653 

Silly me, as a professor who’s taught quite a few sections of constitutional law and government over the last decade or so, I thought a “fascist” was a full boat jingoistic nationalist, a dictator, one who spent their time and efforts squelching opposition, shouting them down, refusing them a voice, e.g., Nazi-ally Il…

You guys just wish you had someone as good as Ben on the left.  The man is brilliant and does a tremendous job at trolling you lefties. 

Title: Seth Rogen put a presumably white child actor in blackface, presumably for “comedy”.

You: “Murdered over 60 people”

Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine? Setting aside the fact that Palestine isn’t (yet) an actual country, under UN General Assembly Resolution 181, Jerusalem is considered an International City. But don’t let facts get in the way of your agenda.

“Jerusalem is considered the capital of Palestine.” Kind of an odd sentence, absent attribution (considered by whom?), given that it’s currently the capital of Israel and is at the heart of the I-P dispute. Meanwhile, the status of the western part of Jerusalem isn’t in dispute, except to those who want the State of…
