Fetterman responds by saying that the growing distaste toward Israel is a sign of people “turn[ing] their back to the Jewish community.” “[The] Jewish community and Israel are not the same thing,” Stewart fires back.
Later, Stewart says: “You’re literally saying, we can all have discussions except when it comes to Israel, except when it comes to Israel — which is not America. It seems like a weird line to draw.”
After Fetterman said that Israel is a “red line” for his backing of the Democratic Party, Stewart fired back, saying: “I mean no disrespect on this, but that is not our country.”

Israel just bombed Tyre (Southern Lebanon) with a wave of airstrikes. This is during a so-called ceasefire. Fuck Israel.
She's really starting to remind me of Anthony Weiner; a backbench Democrat representative who built an aggressive media personality into a national following and then completely fell apart when exposed to scrutiny, due to being an overweening narcissist without any deeper loyalties.
It's also fair to say that the Holocaust was *not* a precursor to its founding as Jews were making aliyah and establishing kibbutzim well before the Holocaust started
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 1h agoThis just-released Canada Heritage survey is a stunning piece of anti-Palestinian propaganda weaponized vs. critics of the genocide at universities. It is a reprisal against the encampment movement. Look at the evidence of ‘antisemitism’: a prof calling Israel a Zionist project—as it attests to be.
Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
Surprising no one, the Israeli terrorist who was killed trying to kill Palestinians was actually killed by other Israelis trying to kill Palestinians & Israel buried him without an autopsy as they increased a rampage to kill Palestinians in supposed revenge. Hannibal Directive all the way down.

We have to reckon with the fact that Uncommitted really was what it said it was - a group of loyal partisan democrats trying to save the party from itself. This was obviously not the case with "Abandon Harris," but anyone conflating the two is doing so out of either ignorance or malice.

Senator is actually one of the jobs where your views on foreign policy matter most and it's a genuinely incredible thing that the Democratic candidate for Michigan is someone who wants to end aid to Israel, Egypt and the UAE and not a mindless drone who wanted to give Netanyahu another $20B.
Congolese men hold the severed hands of fellow Congolese slaves during King Leopold II’s Congo Free State in 1904. Under Belgian colonial rule, millions of Congolese were subjected to forced labor, brutal punishment, and exploitation through the rubber extraction system.
Lost in all the election news — Israel just imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's family home in the West Bank right before his sister’s grad party. The soldiers were shown his US passport and apparently didn’t care, disregarding it. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom.

Adam Karakrah is one of at least two Americans in Israeli prison – both held while Trump hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

People are weirdly inconsistent about when they treat money in politics like it matters and when they don't. We just had a bunch of people on here lamenting the announcement that Musk is going to spend $120M on the midterms, but then they analyze these AES and Bush races like money is irrelevant.
This is also going to be one of the easiest wins for a Dem this year. His GOP opponent is Taras Nykoriak, whose most prominent action was stealing $73k worth of savings bonds from a Ukrainian Orthodox church and serving 16 months in federal prison. He was the only Republican on the primary ballot.

Cori Bush, who I‘m a huge fan of, is a much better activist than a legislator and likely would have lost regardless, but it shouldn’t be ignored that she was literally outspent 27 to 1.
