Yes. Even if you can use the Hamas card, and that wouldn't be too much of a stretch, that doesn't mean that war crimes weren't committed. Two things can be true at once.

If you want to know why there is suspicion that anti-Israel sentiment is just a front for antisemitism among diaspora Jews let me introduce you to Francesca Albanese. She was appointed as UN Special Rapporteur even after describing the US as controlled by the Jewish lobby.

This is a great example of "privileging the lie" and an awful way of covering a Republican conspiracy theory. How about centering the fact that Republicans concocted an awful smear?
Was James Talarico just discharged from a "mental hospital"? The center denies it, and the timeline doesn’t fit. LINK IN COMMENTS⬇️

1/9 I audited the raw JSON (`const D`) embedded in this report + the live PDS repos of the blocked accounts. The viral takeaway—that the autoblocker targeted trans users at 2.5x–2.8x the odds for the same harshness, and randomly blocked 178 "no-contact" users—collapses under scrutiny.

It is absolutely bananas that one of the most prominent anti-AI experts in America is talking like this. Talking to ChatGPT isn’t like doing heroin or downloading child porn. It will not hurt you and has no ethical valence. It will help you understand the nature of something that is now endemic.

Chauvin was convicted of murder, and the other cops were convicted of crimes. It's a bit different than a state-sanctioned execution given that it was *literally punished by the state*.

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.
"LEAKED: Footage of Abdul El-Sayed fundraising last night in the California home of the far-left Soros family. 

Abdul’s education was paid for by the Soros family and NOW they are funding his campaign to make him a U.S. Senator 

The Soros family is funding Abdul because he will carry out their agenda of: 

➡️ defunding the police 
➡️ emptying prisons, and letting violent criminals & sex offenders back onto the streets 
➡️ gender transition surgeries for minors 
➡️ allowing illegals to vote in American elections 

Abdul is too extreme for Michigan."

Not to do peak Brit Posting with a Pratchett reference, but to quote Death in the Hogfather, "You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?" It is incredibly corrosive and unhelpful to meet all instances of "this isn't who we are" with "yeah but it is actually"

This isn’t good enough IMO and still tries to excuse away their tweets with “I’m constantly watching Palestinians get murdered.” Ok then you need to change your media diet. Unless you’re Palestinian/Israeli or involved in an NGO you shouldn’t have to consume that content. It’s radicalizing.

If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford
a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country" 
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special  camps and receive special treatments" 
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."

Most politics since the Treaty of Westphalia can be summed up as attempts to find a type of civilian that it's okay to kill. I feel like it's a relatively new phenomenon for this method to be essentially "there is no such thing as a civilian."

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.
