Blaming Jews and Israel for all your financial woes is sad, pathetic, completely unoriginal and a massive self-delusion.
Claming we pay for Israeli healthcare is beyond absurd.
This ad is designed to incite hatred against Jews and Israelis by providing dissatisfied Americans with the oldest scapegoat in the book.
To quote Heinlein (from the Cat who Walks through Walls, 1985): "His brand of fire and brimstone and scapegoatism - Jews of course; no novelty- peaked at a time when unemployment also peaked and public debt and inflation got out of hand."

Israel First Mike Rogers’ career is cooked after this Abdul El Sayed ad. This is brilliant.
Trump doesn't care what YOU pay for gas because he and his big oil buddies are making a "freaking fortune."

This is ethnic cleansing.

Israeli soldiers forced Palestinian families from their homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank overnight Friday, taking control of the properties, marking houses with X signs and hanging Israeli flags from balconies. Troops also blocked roads and closed a nearby checkpoint, restricting movement in the neighborhood as the military expanded its presence in the area.
The operation followed an attack Friday in which two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others before being shot dead by Israeli forces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened a major military offensive following the attack.

#BREAKING: Charles Blow: No one in all of media is dealing with this in the proper way. The Muslim Brotherhood is almost 100 years old. Do you know when the United States classified them as a terrorist group? Earlier this year. Donald Trump did it. There have been 10 presidents between when she [El-Sayed’s mom] supported them and now. Not a single one of them, Democrat or Republican, decided to deem the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group. Do you know how many terrorist attacks on American soil the Muslim Brotherhood is responsible for? Zero. But if we’re gonna say that children are responsible for their parents, Donald Trump’s dad was was arrested at a Klan rally in Queens in 1927. Are we saying that Donald Trump is responsible for his dad’s actions? 😳
The "Military Industrial Complex" was a term popularized by Republican President Eisenhower to describe the perverse connection between military contractors and Congress for the purpose of pushing wars and wasting money on military equipment.

In what time line does "Kid Rock" become a political commentator whose opinion matters? I guess because he was one of a handful of washed up entertainers who want Trump's favor?
Borelli: There are some real questions about this guy that deserve answering
Phillip: Trump said he was a jihadist.
Mercurio: The implication by Kid Rock that El-Sayed, because of his religion, is a terrorist. Let me tell you something. I'm a Roman catholic. I'm a terrorist because Timothy Mcveigh was a Roman Catholic? In fact, if we want to go there, I'm Italian. Guess what, Kid Rock. I'm in the mob?
Your "democracy" is seriously flawed when the government goes after people for revealing what the crimes committed by the government instead of holding the leaders accountable.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel's military, Shin Bet and attorney general on Sunday to reveal the identities of soldiers and officers interviewed in the documentary "NAZA" and prosecute them for "serious information security offenses, criminal defamation and harm to Israel's diplomatic and security interests."
In his letter, Netanyahu wrote that "there is concern that those involved in the defamatory film committed serious criminal offenses by exposing highly classified information and creating a breach in the information security of a highly sensitive intelligence unit." | @jonathanlis1

Insane that Israel and its defenders in the west claimed they had the best combatant-to-civilian kill ratio ever and this is how they defined the ‘combatants’ or ‘terrorists’ that they killed in Gaza:
How can people support this kind of dishonesty in their leaders?
#DemocraticSocialism
Real journalists and reporters do not have to worry about saying "something intentionally absurd" or "intentionally sexist" being treated like "a literal truth."
They report news and provide commentary based on facts and reality.

In 2019, Trump was forced to cancel plans to hold the G7 at his own golf club amid GOP objections to self dealing. In 2026, he will hold the G20 at his own golf club and the critics have gone silent. How Trump has moved the ethical line in his second term. nytimes.com/2026/10/04/us/po…
These are not "settlers;" they are terrorists.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 Daily settler harassment of Palestinians in Duma, West Bank, with some settlers openly carrying weapons.
This kind of intimidation is indefensible.
The pattern residents describe is especially disturbing: provoke people until someone reacts, then watch the Palestinian who responded get detained while the armed settler who started it walks away.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

Kevin Hassett just looked at skyrocketing mortgage rates and told us it's good news, because the money is going to corporations building data centers "instead of lending to homeowners."
These people are staggeringly out of touch.
