If Hezbollah had been dropping rockets on your heads for two years straight, Americans totally would be doing the same. It's not like Israelis are uniquely depraved or something; you just have an enormous double standard. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Nine Mile Point is not the same plant as Three Mile Island, and TMI didn't "blow up and almost wipe out four states." There was a minor release of radiation that was barely above background. And a lot of fearmongering.

Bullshit. You don't know a damn thing about Israel. You've never been there. You just get your impressions from whatever clickbait the algorithm shows you.

Oh bullshit. Israel didn't give a crap about a mid-tier right-wing podcaster. Believe it or don't, Israel isn't in charge of what happens in the US, and isn't the sole source of evil in the world.

My best friend has spent a disturbing amount of time in Butler, PA. There's a reason they call the area "Pennsyltucky." Everyone there is in the bag for Trump.

Bullshit. People don't like Netanyahu, but most Jews still believe that Jews deserve self-determination in their ancestral and spiritual homeland, Israel.

Hamas wants to eradicate Jews and Judaism from the birthplace of Judaism because they believe Israel belongs to Muslims because it was once under Muslim rulers. Javier Bardem is a gullible idiot.

Israel is trying to get Hezbollah to stop attacking them and actually abide by UN resolution 1701, which mandates that Hezbollah must disarm and retreat north of the Litani River. Hezbollah has been firing rockets at Israel nearly constantly since 10/7. Enough.

The Houthis in Yemen enslave people in the parts of the country they control, have caused a massive engineered famine, murdered thousands of people, and ethnically cleansed the last of Yemen's ancient Jewish community. The Palestinians want to erase Jews from the birthplace of Judaism itself.

No. It's literally impossible to be an observant Jew without being a Zionist, that is, someone who believes Jews deserve self-determination in their ancestral and/or spiritual homeland, Israel. And in a world where non-Muslims can't even visit Mecca, why AREN'T YOU?

Trump is in severe cognitive decline which has severely affected his ability to communicate in every situation. His working vocabulary is tiny. He has a tendency to perseverate on things. It's probably interesting in his head, but not so much on the tarmac.

NEW, from me: I talked to people who shut down Patriot Front's rally in D.C. last month. Counter-demonstrators made it impossible for PF to produce propaganda and recruit at the March for Life rally. The clown music set the tone. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

It's not a genocide because in genocides, the population in question goes DOWN over time. Here are the population growth statistics for the Palestinians. Note that even during the war, it never dropped into the negative numbers. Stop believing antisemitic lies that serve Islamic supercessionists.

BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.

There is no "Gazan genocide" because Gazans are not a single racial, religious, ethnic, or national group, and the Palestinian population is growing as it has every year the "Palestinian genocide" has been going on. Stop lying to advance the goals of Arab nationalists and Islamic supercessionists.

Two weeks ago I wrote about how MAGA has developed the perverse skill of turning right-wing terrorism acts into left-wing attacks by inverting reality on its head. Today they are doing the same thing woth the Mar A Lago gunman. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...
open.substack.com
Trump deliberately ignores far-right terrorism because it's a useful tool against democracy
By insisting, both in word and deed, that only the 'radical left' commits domestic terror, the MAGA regime is casually exposing everyone to extremist violence

Iran has, however, committed tremendous violence against Iranians, Iraqis, Kurds, and Israelis through its proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, as well as the hundred thousand or so Yemenis murdered by the Houthis. The US has intervened abroad for less.

Is it fair to say that the Trump regime is actually dumber than President Camacho's government in Idiocracy? Camacho, after all, ultimately empowers a smart guy (Luke Wilson) to actually solve society's problems. Ain't no Luke Wilson among the grifters and sycophants that surround Trump these days.

Honest Reporting is a hell of a lot more unbiased than anyone reporting in Gaza. Gaza is a one-party dictatorship. Do you think they let just anyone be a journalist? You gullible schmuck.

You don't get to have a position like "journalist" in a one-party state dictatorship like Gaza unless you're affiliated with the ruling party somehow. People insisting that these Gazan journalists are really "independent" sound like they're defending Korean Central Television.

The President is taking a *pre-noon* nap. In public. At his big event. On World Peace. This will go mostly unremarked upon outside here. Meanwhile, the commentary class thinks it deeply important to inform you that AOC said "uhm" a few times in response to a question on the same topic a few days ago
