I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50

Just now on @Morning_Joe:
@AbdulElSayed was asked by @WillieGeist whether his critique of Israel is about @netanyahu or Israel itself. He made it clear his problem is with Israel. Lots of references to

"pre-date" BiBi.

A study I co-authored in 2023 found ExxonMobil’s predictions of global heating over the following decades to have been mostly accurate, as skilful as independent academic and government models, and also very much at odds with its public statements on the matter. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Good request. Because aren't all these financial supports by Canfor and billionaire Jim Pattison nothing less than the cost of advertisement? Makes you wonder why he wants his name on all these buildings. Afraid of being forgotten after your death Jimmy? #TaxBillionaires www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
