Break bread at a Sedar? Pretty sure that wasn’t meant literally (IYKYK) and pretty sure that really wasn’t intended for us. But when you view us as caricatures and actually know nothing about us, I guess it sounds good to the intended audience.

🧵 People have rightfully pointed out that this post by Palestinian-American writer Susan Abulhawa is just the antisemitic "Stab-In-The-Back” myth with an anti-Zionist paint job on it. But there’s a little more to it.

Imagine if Stevens owned expensive rental property in Tel Aviv? This is just too good. Abdul is wealthier than Stevens and does business in a country known for its human rights atrocities but Stevens is the corporate genocider.

It’s always fascinating when gentiles take it upon themselves to declare what is and isn’t antisemitic, rather than ask people who are actually familiar with how they have spent 2000 years being subject to the many ways it has been used to caricature, diminish, libel and cause violence to Jews.

I wouldn’t call this antisemitic - AIPAC is bad, it is very active in US elections, it often utilizes shady tactics. But it’s part of what I would say is growing gray-area rhetoric in US politics, where the focus on AIPAC/Israel feels disproportionate and the power it holds is exaggerated.

The only reason Mamdani is making the statement at all is because he made a provocative and yet deeply unserious campaign promise to arrest Netanyahu if Bibi set foot in New York and is now having to address why exactly he's not gonna do it ahead of Bibi setting foot in New York.

Just a lie. A defense tech agreement for various aspects of defense technologies is not “merging parts of our military with” anything or anyone. And I refuse to believe she doesn’t know it’s false and she’s spreading a lie.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

For the last time “Stay out of Black peoples face screaming AIPAC” AIPAC IS A MANUFACTURED BOOGEYMAN TO SCAPEGOAT JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE US.

Setting aside the well known history of lists of Jews not working out well for us, for anyone that knows Jewish history, the absolute hilarity of Italians suggesting Jews are engaging in “Neo-colonization in Italy” is some next level absurdity. 🧵

"The Google form that was circulated - before its removal - read: "This form is intended to record cases of Zionist tourism, property purchases, and, more generally, Zionist neo-colonization in Italy."

Meanwhile, new Hamas boss gets to continue living his post 5* Doha hotel Because no one will demand Qatar hand this fucker over to the Israelis.
