I got blocked by Yair Rosenberg for correctly pointing out major Jewish establishment organizations were far less heated towards Trump’s anti-Semitism than towards even the barest most exaggerated claims of anti-Semitism directed at Muslims. Yair, for those of you who don’t know, is supposedly progressive. AIPAC, AJC,…

There’s a long history of anti-racism activism by MLS supporters groups. In cities like Portland that ties into the antifa (non-scare quotes bullshit way you used the term) circles. They do a lot of local activism and organizing. Before bigots like you were trained to be afraid of them, they passed out zines and…

Ah, pinkwashing. That’s a bit cliche. So is the women part, given the increasingly influence of Ultra-Orthodox parties in Israel and their repeated successes in forcing their ideology into public spaces. I don’t think you actually read any Israeli papers.

You, and Trump. You’re right, you’re not fooling anyone. Opposing Israeli policies is not anti-Semitism. Demanding Jews be loyal to you or you’ll call them bad Jews and stupid is anti-Semitism. Trump’s repeated conflation of Jews and money is. Trump’s repeated use of “dual-loyalty” tropes like calling Netanyahu…

This is why random arrogant buffoons on the internet merit contempt. You know nothing about international law but are sitting here trying to lecture me because you don’t know the fundamental concepts.

People have fundamental human rights. As per usual from bigots like yourself, you’ve dehumanized the people involved to the point that you don’t even consider them in your comically incompetent analysis. 

Grand, it’s this site’s most useless pseudo-intellectual charlatan here to pretend expertise on yet another topic his bigoted conservative rear-end knows nothing about.

No clue, but it happens a lot on anything mildly related to Israel. If I thought it’d stay in the greys I wouldn’t have responded. 

I’ve seen too much from that particular buffoon to think centrist is an accurate descriptor. It really does seem like the trolls have got the run of the place lately though. I responded to one below because I absolutely know it will get out of the greys, since it has on the last two recent articles about Israel. 

Since you and your fellow troll brigade always get out of the greys on this topic, I’m just going to nip this early.

“I’m not a far-right troll, please ignore the really boring far-right cliche I reference in the second clause of this sentence”. 

There’s always one of you worthless trolls. So opposing the Israeli Occupation makes you “disloyal to other Jews”. What horseshit. Are you angling to be a spokesperson for the far-right parties in Israel? That’s their ideology. 

This won’t get nearly as much play as various bad-faith claims about Omar, Tlaib, and other supposedly “anti-Israel” figures do. AIPAC will wring their hands and do nothing. The AJC will fully support Trump and toss in more Islamophobia. I expect Jake Tapper to find a way to blame this on Palestinians, and much of the…

Lying about things that can easily be checked is modern conservatism. He knows his hordes of idiots will believe whatever he says, even if he’s contradicting his past self. It’s collective self-delusion. 

I spent a lot of yesterday with conservative and libertarian bros screaming at me about “real history” while I explained that everything in this project is completely uncontroversial and has been for decades among academic historians. 

Odds he ends up at ICE or some obscure DHS political post if he does resign? Trump still likes him, and he’s no different than Miller and a number of others in the administration. That or some role with the Trump campaign that pays a salary but has no real responsibilities, which is how he’s bribed a lot of his…

Not that that’s a good thing, but I see it mostly as “prosecutors love to overcharge/cling to bad cases for ego reasons” in most cases. There’s ideological bias in there too, but a lot of those cases fail for a reason.

For the FTO list the requirements for designation are legal, not administrative. “Terrorism” is defined in US law, at least for foreign actors. There’s also judicial review (though only for 30 days after designation) and relisting an organization requires reviewing the evidence. Congress is also notified before the…

The FBI is a hotbed of conservative activism and regressive opinions, but they won’t go along with a plan like that without a fight and either will the career DHS. Most of the far-right specialists have already left, but the idea of throwing around the word “terrorism” so flippantly will rile a lot of people. It’s a…

There’s no way to label “Antifa” as an “organization of terror”. Right now, there’s no domestic terror list, and even Trump’s cronies couldn’t figure out a way to get Antifa on the FTO. You can’t lie your way out of everything.
