I was a tourist in Twitter (X) until October 7, when I became an advocate against Antisemitism.

Like other viruses, antisemitism knows how to mutate and like herpes can dormant before breaking out again, yet it never disappears. Studies of anti-Semitism find a correlation between the health of a society and the level of anti-Semitism experienced in it, this makes anti-Semitism a symptom of the health of a society. In the virus analogy, every human body has different viruses in it, those that lower their immune system get sick.

Back to Iran. After yesterday’s debacle, Trump has four options:
1) Resume the war, knowing how unpopular it is and that he would face backlash from the entire Democratic base and half of Republicans.
2) make a deal, which would essentially mean giving Iran what it wants.
3) Do nothing. Maintain the status quo, let things cool down, and hope the issue simply fades away.
4) Let Israel take on Iran alone, while providing moral support, intelligence, or/and weapons, without direct U.S. involvement.
Has Trump backed himself into a corner where every option comes with a political or strategic price he can’t afford to pay?

Colorado residents, beware: steer clear of Vietnamese restaurant Sắp Sửa.
Owners Anna and Ni Nguyen say “Zionists” aren’t welcome, effectively excluding the overwhelming majority of Jews.
Is this discriminatory policy legal in Colorado, @pweiser?

If you are a legitimate critic of Israel but not an anti-semite, you’d probably barely ever talk about Israel because there are so many worse countries in the region.

A couple of takeaways from tonight's World Cup "Pride" match between Egypt & Iran in Seattle:
- Tonight wasn't just a soccer match—it was a test of whether Seattle's politicians actually believe the values they claim to champion. If you're going to celebrate Pride, why stay silent when teams from countries that execute gay people come to your city?
This was the Pride movement's biggest opportunity to make a statement—and they completely missed it. If America stands for free speech and equal rights, then don't apologize for it. Say it proudly. A soccer game comes and goes. Taking a stand for American values would have been remembered.
-The politicians who never miss an opportunity to virtue signal suddenly became very quiet when it actually mattered. The people protesting the Iranian regime showed more consistency than the politicians who claim to champion LGBTQ rights. This could have been a defining moment for Seattle. Instead, city leaders chose silence. If your principles disappear the moment they're inconvenient, they aren't principles—they're performance."
-Where were all the activists? For all the noise they usually make, they were almost nowhere to be found. If you believe in something, defend it.
-The World Cup showed Seattle can secure its streets when it wants to. The question is why that commitment isn't year-round. Public safety isn't impossible. Tonight proved it's a choice."
-Seattle had a chance to show the world what it stands for. Instead, it showed the world what it was unwilling to say.

No es que sean tan imbéciles; es que saben que quienes les compran su cuento sí lo son.
