.: #Israelis' fear of the #Palestinian flag is "fuelled by the same exclusivist, uncompromising jingoistic spirit which is driving Israel toward becoming a binational state that is neither politically democratic nor ethically Jewish."

אתה יו״ר וועדת החוץ והביטחון. למה אתה לא מזמין את הרמטכל לכנסת ולדרוש ממנו שיסביר למה החיילים שלו עומדים בצד ולא עושים כלום כדי לעצור את מה שאתה מגדיר בריונות?

מצפה מראשי הציונות הדתית להוקיע את הפורעים ומהריבון בשטח לעצור אותם ללא כל קשר לדתם.
זוהי לא ציונות - זו בריונות.

The most memorable line in Bennett's UNGA speech imho is when he said "Israelis don't wake up in the morning and think about the conflict." It's true, they don't, because they have the luxury not to. Palestinians don't have that luxury. But it also skews the reality /1

“That neither the White House nor Congress are conditioning aid to Israel on steps to try and end the occupation is a testament to just how recklessly little American leaders care about Israeli intentions or Palestinian lives.”

As we enter this new year in the Jewish calendar, we must also enter a new chapter—one in which Israel’s future as a democratic state and homeland for the Jewish people is secure and Palestinians’ aspirations for a state of their own can be fulfilled.

Reminiscent of convicted criminals appearing before an Israeli court wearing a large black kippah, a semi-amusing, grotesque display of feigned penitence and piety.

Montana is 150k Sq Miles. If there is anything this state has, it is space. To describe 75 human beings as a threatening flood is just pure racism.

Today I learned that 75 refugees from Afghanistan will be arriving in Montana. I strongly oppose the resettlement of these Afghan nationals in Montana.

Time to stand with the people of #California as they face the next "stop the steal" lunacy.
Also, worth wondering how Newsom would have done if his opponent had been more reasonable, rather than an extreme loon like Elder.

In his desperation to remain in the White House after Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 election, Trump reportedly resorted to schoolyard threats against Mike Pence to convince him to overturn the results by rejecting certification.

On the 20th anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history, a former president of the United States of America will be…..hosting a pay-per-view boxing match in Florida.
Honestly, how, HOW do the people who support him square this?
Quote Tweet
Some people are upset that on September 11 Trump will be providing color commentary for a pay-per-view boxing match. Not me. I'll be happy if stays far away from the solemn ceremonies memorializing the tragedy and bravery of that day, so we won't have to stoop to noticing him.

This blistering dissent, and so many by Justice Sotomayor since she arrived on the bench, has me thinking about what it must feel like to ascend to the highest Court and be forced to exist largely as a dissenter as you watch that Court erode the protections of the Constitution.

Dear McCarthy: Don’t you think America has had enough political violence? You should never be encouraging or threatening or joking about causing violence to anyone, including the Speaker of the House. You need to apologize for your statement, or resign.

Tenn. reps gave Kevin McCarthy an oversized gavel after speech.
McCarthy invites the 1,400 at Nashville dinner to DC when he becomes speaker.
He says he wants everyone to see Pelosi hand him the gavel. "It will be hard not to hit her with it but I will bang it down,” he says.

For folks who (still) wrongly accuse of focusing only on Israel re human rights concerns, note that in last week she intro’d bill linked to human rights in Tunisia (congress.gov/bill/117th-con)
& an SFOPS amendment linked to human rights in Egypt (amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/OMA)
