Our only hope may be that this administration is (once again) too incompetent to accomplish its authoritarian agenda.

Trump is replacing Critical Race Theory with the Great Replacement Theory. Scary stuff.

I’ve not “flip flopped” my position once. I simply presented the text of the holy book you brought up to show how anti-Zionism is not just antisemitic, but anti-Islamic as well, as it goes against the orders of your own prophet.

It doesn’t matter what your “interpretation” is. Palestine is still never mentioned in the Quran. What is mentioned dozens of times is Israel. Allah even promises the land of Israel to the Jews. For example: (Quran 5:21) "O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you.”

You’ve not “caught” anyone, and only proved your initial argument is false. Perhaps one needs to suspend their intelligence to believe the lies of of the Pro-Hamas camp, but I simply can’t deny history and facts.

This is an insult to our intelligence. Mohammad died in 632 CE. The al-Aqsa Mosque wasn’t built until 692 CE. It didn’t exist at the time of Mohammed’s life, nor even before the first published texts of the Koran.

They’re part of the same anti-democratic machine programmed by Putin. 10/7 was Putin’s most effective election meddling scheme ever. It instantly divided and weakened the Left, and discredited countless institutions. The fact that was Putin’s birthday was no coincidence.

Trump has traded away American power and influence for nothing. Like Putin, Trump doesn’t know how to win a war. And after this, I’m not sure anyone would want to fight under his pathetic excuse for leadership. He’s no president. He’s a wrecking ball. That’s it.

Maddog Mendelson @mandrew.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
Trump and his team claim they are protecting American interests, but there are no benefits to declaring a Putin victor in this war. None. It makes us as weak as Russia, and aligns us with anti-democratic forces around the world—the same regimes who seek to destroy us.

Maddog Mendelson @mandrew.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
It’s in that context that Trump has swooped in to rescue Putin. Instead of leveraging the power of our allies and our own military might to send Putin, a murderous dictator, limping back to St. Petersburg with his tail between his legs, Trump sided with him over our democratic ally.

Putin’s military has never been in worse shape. Aside from hundreds-of-thousands of infantry dead, he’s lost countless military vehicles, tanks and aircraft. Even his Black Sea fleet has been decimated. And for all of that, Putin made little progress against Ukraine. He’s failed by every measure.

Maddog Mendelson @mandrew.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
If you want to know what really happened in the oval yesterday, consider this: Putin has never been weaker. His economy is on life-support. He’s been humiliated by the catastrophe he started in Ukraine. He’s overseen more Russian deaths than in any Russian conflagration since Stalin.

It’s funny, Palestine isn’t mentioned once in the Koran, yet Israel is mentioned dozens of times. In fact Jews are referred to as “children of Israel.”

None. They left at the behest of the Arab League who promised them they could come back once they annihilated the Jews. Then the Arab leaders lied about Dier Yassin and they all fled in terror. youtu.be/72Ata-hY9WQ?...

No. 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab lands since 1948. That’s why only a handful of Jews are left throughout the Arab/Muslim world. They were ethnically cleansed and no amount of revisionist history will erase that.

Today, Hamas celebrated their brutal kidnapping and murder of Shiri Bibas, her infant son Kfir, and his 4-year-old brother Ariel, parading their tiny coffins like trophies for a cheering crowd. Israel doesn’t dehumanize Palestinians. They dehumanize themselves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAMs...

It was also a movement for equality for all, including for non-Jews. That’s why Israel is the only progressive democracy in the Middle East with equal rights for all religions, ethnicities and genders. It’s why 2 million Muslims live with full equal rights in Israel.

Rather, Zionism recognized humanity’s innate intolerance of Jews and proposed at a time when nation-states were forming around the globe, that Jews establish their own state. It was an effort for self-determination, and a hope to prevent the coming Holocaust.

Redefining the one term used to describe Jew-hate is talking over Jews. Zionism is not racism. Nor are Jews white. In fact, the majority of Israel’s population would not be considered “white,” as most of them emigrated from Africa and ME countries. We certainly weren’t white enough for Hitler.

Maddog Mendelson @mandrew.bsky.social · 19/02/2025
You are talking over Jews right now. Your movement was stollen from Jews. Stop scapegoating Jews and using Zionism as some kind of shield for your racism.

Redefining antisemitism for Jews is antisemitism. Talking over Jews is antisemitic.

Not only were Jews forced to pay the jizyah, they could only work in certain fields, could not participate in politics, law or any authority position. Hey had few rights compared to Muslims. They couldn’t even ride a horse. It was state-sponsored discrimination.

Even Carter can be wrong. Syria Palestina is the name given to Judea after the Romans conquered Jerusalem in 135 CE. Just like all the other colonizers, they tried to strip the land of its Jewish identity. It’s Islamophobic to deny this.

That’s just it. No. That’s not what Israel wants to do. They are not trying to kill every Palestinian. That’s what Hamas wants you to think, but that’s not what’s happening. No intent.

Meaning the category of mass-killing of a specific ethnic or religious group. Of course the Holocaust isn’t the only one. There were many before and after, just not language to describe it.

Just read the Hamas charter. Listen to the words of Hamas leaders. Their entire modus operandi is “kill the Jews wherever they live,” and “destroy all of Israel until no Jew remains on the land.” youtu.be/BJNccvNJtGk?...

Archeology is full of references to the kingdoms of Israel, Judea and the 12 tribes of Israel. And yes, kingdoms rarely arise because a minority population want it to.

Ah yes, the Jewish anti-Zionist. History has not been kind to your ilk. Ask the Bund of Eastern Europe how that worked out. Or the Communist Jews who proudly denounced all ties to Israel. Or the wealthy emancipated Jews of Western Europe. The verdict of history is clear and anti-Zionism lost.

Every history book refers to the land as Eretz Israel. The Kingdoms of Israel and Judea were the only sovereign nations established on that land. All others were colonizers and invaders. Yes, Jews were ethnically cleansed multiple times, but many stayed and maintained a presence there.
