“The most moral armed force in the world” 🙄😏
Please bitch, stop lying anymore!

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it.

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

Sasha Baron Cohen falsely portrayed Palestinian Christian peace activist Ayman Abu Aita as a terrorist aligned with Bin Laden in his painfully unfunny film Bruno
Baron Cohen was forced to settle a $112 million defamation suit for the smear
This is the Zionist minstrel show actor the ADL chief censor says “has spent years confronting hate”
My friend @SachaBaronCohen has spent years confronting hate and disinformation, and @ADL is proud of all the work we've done together. In a world where lies spread faster than facts, that work matters more than ever.
No artist should be pressured, blacklisted or silenced over their Jewish identity. And Jewish artists shouldn’t be subjected to ideological litmus tests.
Thank you, Sacha, for continuing to speak out against hate while making us laugh along the way.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bruno (2009) labeled Ayman Abu Aita as Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade 'terrorist group leader.' The Palestinian Christian activist denied it, claimed he was misled into the interview, and sued Cohen for ~$110M defamation; settled confidentially in 2012.

I wasn’t going to mention this travesty, but the fact check is interesting. Fordham is a preposterous little twerp with a vastly inflated sense of his own importance. smh.com.au/national/ben-robe…

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying.
No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.
Palestinian farmers do not — and should not — need permits to harvest their own olive fields. But they fear doing so, because the IDF doesn’t protect them from settler violence.
We’re trying to model solidarity & co-existence between Jews and Palestinians, and to call attention to the horrors of the occupation. The Israeli government is trying to foment violence between Jews and Palestinians, and to make it impossible for Palestinians to harvest their olive groves, drive on their roads, or live in their homes.
This was not about harvesting olives.
It was about harvesting headlines.
Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation.
Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination.
What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required.
He chose to ignore those instructions.
At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order.
Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection.
Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

An IDF sniper just shot at me and my colleague Ali while we were working in Zowtar Al Gharabieh. We were clearly marked press and standing with a member of the Lebanese army.

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

Reminder: it was on @2GB873 that Alan Jones urged people to go to Cronulla and bash people.
It was on @2GB873 that Alan Jones called for Julia Gillard to be put in a chaff bag and thrown into the sea.
You do NOT get to moralise over this.
It's one thing to tell the nation to turn the temperature down, but Michael McLaren unpacks why it's rising in the first place.

As @AbdulElSayed points out here, it’s the media obsessing over Israel and asking him about Israel in every single interview, he wants to actually talk about the price of gas and groceries.
Obviously @MikeRogersForMI does not want to talk about that and the media is helping him.
Michigan senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed (@AbdulElSayed) is noticing a disconnect between the questions voters are asking and the media's fixations. New pod tomorrow!

ISRAEL is behind the psyop blaming the FRENCH protests on Muslims. Zionists are on national television spreading lies about synagogues being burned but not mosques. All the large hasbara accounts are parroting this with identical posts and scripts. Stay informed. Recognise what psyops and propaganda look like.

“We were willing to be kind, generous, and even agreed to share the land,” says this Israeli diplomat to me.
A reminder that at partition, in 1947, Jews owned 7% of the land. This guy says they were willing to “share” the 93% that wasn’t even theirs.
There is a word for that.
We were willing to be kind, generous, and even agreed to share the land. But apparently, our willingness to compromise made you mistake our goodwill for weakness - and believe that the land was yours to claim.
Let me be clear: it is not. It never was. And it never will be.
The Land of Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people. Our willingness to share it does not erase our history, diminish our rights, or make anyone else its owner.

Once again, Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for Palestinian families across the occupied West Bank. State-driven attacks by settlers on farmers that damage, destroy and steal crops, combined with Israeli military restrictions on access to groves, are causing immense suffering and economic loss for Palestinians.

Hart, I was a Zionist for nearly all my life. I actually went to live in Israel and was there for some years. So, you don't need to instruct me about that.
Seeing the reality that, in order to exist, Israel requires the oppression, dispossession and expulsion of Palestinians took me decades. Now that I see it, I can't unsee it.

A reminder as pro-Israel groups manufacture fake antisemitism crises in Michigan that the President of the United States traffics in brazen anti-Muslim bigotry every day now and no one says a word, no cable panels, no controversy for the GOP, no Democratic statements, nothing.
