Those who are not racist morons know that the ROI on the US-Israel relationship isn't just billions of dollars, but American lives. "Learned professors" like Zenkus, like El-Sayed, would have US servicemen killed in the line of duty, not just Jews.
The billions that Americans send Israel each year allows Israelis to have guaranteed healthcare meanwhile 530,000 Americans go bankrupt each year because of medical debt. This guy doesn't want you to know this because somehow facts are antisemitic.

I have argued before that Foster could not recognize an authentic Jewish idea if it hit him in the face. Here he proves that this is quite literally true. Jewish prayers three times a day are based on the idea that we are returning to our homeland. All of us.
The idea that all Jews should move to Palestine not as some eschatological fantasy but as a serious idea … that is indeed a Christian idea.

When "armed struggle" means you are an apologist for deliberate murder of civilians, rape, torture, and beheading, your claim to be a civilized human being becomes laughable. And it starts from your disgraceful claim that a Palestinian is something other than a Jew.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Abdul El Sayed just crashed and burned, going BERSERK and SNAPPING on Bret Baier bringing up his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood BAIER: *Starts reading the evidence* ABDUL: "NO, NO, NO, NO. Let me just STOP YOU right there...I'M NOT INTERESTED. I'M NOT INTERESTED. A 2012 statement, in a letter, you're gonna, you're gonna pull that out of context! You're gonna ask questions about my allegiance?! Let me just be clear. Don't be Rogers' campaign. Be a JOURNALIST." BAIER: "I am." This is SO, SO bad...Mike Rogers must be OVERJOYED 😅 Just look at how Abdul gets flustered and angry when he realizes this is airing in front of millions And Michigan voters certainly saw this one! Nothing is out of context. Adbul was allied with the Muslim Brotherhood and he's ONLY trying to walk it back because now he wants Michigan voters to elect him THIS GUY IS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

This is just beyond the pale. “Accused”??!! Here’s exactly what happened: terrorists murdered two Israeli soldiers in an ambush and the IDF swiftly neutralized the deadly threat. This reporting is so shameful (it’s done with intention), and this is not an isolated example. You must do better, @NBCNews.
BREAKING: Israel orders a “full lockdown” of the occupied West Bank after its military kills two Palestinians accused of launching an attack that injured five people near the city of Hebron. nbcnews.com/world/middle-eas…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post inaccurately states the attack injured five people; two Israeli soldiers were killed and three others injured when Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a military checkpoint near Hebron. timesofisrael.com/5-injured-2-cr… nbcnews.com/world/middle-e…

The Palestinian Authority will be giving pensions to the families of the terrorists who tried to murder Jews in Judea and Samaria today, but don't worry, Brad Lander is on the scene to pick more olives and blame Israel for trying to protect their citizens.

ICJ ad hoc "judge" Navi Pillay is tipping the scales on the ICJ’s current proceedings on Myanmar, intending to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians. Pillay: We see your agenda and we'll be watching the ICJ’s handling of these proceedings very closely. As our actions against the ICC demonstrate, we will not allow globalist, faux-judges to weaponize the law against our troops, undermine our sovereignty, or put American lives at risk.   The Nobel Committee has disgraced itself by awarding the Peace Prize to Pillay. What a shameful choice to "honor" someone who represents an "international community" with a leftist, globalist, antisemitic agenda. President Trump is showing a better way, by actually ENDING WARS, bringing hostages HOME, and making PEACE.

Fact: I personally have had Free Palestine hurled at me on three separate occasions for no reason other than being Jewish. Talbot sides with hate and bigotry.

No you have NOT been detained. You’re passing through an ordinary checkpoint, but are desperate for drama and political theater. Sloppy act, Brad.
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.

So this explains why terrorists massacred Jews in Israel decades before Israel existed, why the Arab League gathered to destroy it, & why Arab nations expelled their Jewish citizens when the League failed? Maybe it's because blaming Jews for being hated is way older than Hasan.
Israel’s actions in the Middle East historically are one of the main reasons terrorists hate the US. Israel’s actions in the Middle East right now are one of the main reasons oil prices are so high.

Gotta love the leftists who assert that a name imposed by Western powers for 26 years with no ethnic or religious connotations makes the area perpetually an Arab Muslim state of that name. Especially odd because it was the Jews of the Mandate period who called themselves Palestinian.

Jonathan spends a lot of time calling it propaganda, never addressing the factual assertions made or their basis. And all this time, he has never attempted to defend going on Tucker Carlson without calling him out. This, from a rabbi.
I have to share this because it serves a fundamental point. @ymenken wrote “the government has no choice” but to arrest Shana Gaviola because she violated a protective order. I beg to differ. The government has absolute discretion to prosecute or not prosecute. That unfortunately is currently the law. But more importantly, for his source of information he goes directly to the government press release. Why wouldn’t he? It was the first thing that popped up when he googled Shana Gaviola. And that is the point. The government propaganda press release always pops up first. That’s by design. And that is the point. The government destroys you through the process. That includes controlling the narrative. Jurors are told by the judge not to look up the defendant on the internet. But we all know that they do. And the first thing — and maybe the only thing — they read is the government propaganda. That obviously affects their view of the trial. And even if Shana was acquitted, the press release never goes away. Her reputation is ruined for life. But I’m told that Tucker Carlson is the problem because he has a podcast. I am trying to bring attention to a serious issue. Government weaponization. Violence against Jews is an issue I take seriously. Before I joined DOJ there was an attack on a synagogue in Los Angeles. The FBI/DOJ did nothing. The Jewish orgs did nothing. It was me and @javitch_mark who filed a CIVIL lawsuit against the violent criminals who organized the event. We were doing that before it was fashionable. But “antisemitism” is not and cannot be at the center of every issue. And it is not the only issue, nor is it the most important issue. I went on Tucker to draw attention to government weaponization. And I argue that it’s really high up on the list of important issues for a simple reason. No matter what YOUR issue is — immigration, foreign policy, the economy, health, abortion, second amendment, or antisemitism — you won’t be able to do anything if you’re wearing an orange jumpsuit in solitary confinement. I am extremely frustrated and did not expect that some people would try to hijack my efforts to draw attention to weaponization by making it all about antisemitism.

To be clear, I know there's discretion not to prosecute violation of a protection order, and I was speaking loosely about the kid having such an order as if that were, in and of itself, the crux of the matter. It's not. Jonathan never addresses, for example, the assertion by the DOJ that the kid was handcuffed for 24 hours. That's either true or not true, and calling it "propaganda" helps no one. If that was factually true, there's no way the DOJ could avoid prosecuting it. It's called kidnapping, and it doesn't matter that it was ordered by his own mother, or that the protection order should never have been granted. There's no way around that. Because of my work, I'm in regular communication with every major pro-life organization in the country and their advocates in government. I receive regular bulletins from them, as well as the major religious liberty organizations, about the cases they are litigating on behalf of traditional families and advocates. Jonathan is absolutely right that I googled the Gaviola case. He's right that I had never heard of it before. The reason why that is true is not at all what he implies. And, again, this is all Jonathan's furious attempt to distract attention from the fact that he went on the show of a leading antisemitic propagandist, treated him as if he were a podcaster interested in fighting on behalf of the good guys, and apparently never called out his antisemitism. Antisemitism in Germany didn't start with government, it started with society's leading intellectuals telling people that hating Jews was credible and meritorious. Tucker is taking America in the same direction.

Even if the cause is noble and the viewership is large, I fail to understand how any Orthodox Jew could go on Tucker Carlson's podcast and just ignore all of the deranged hate that he routinely spews about Jews & Israel. No one should give him cover for his next Antisemitic rant
I was proud to go on @TuckerCarlson . He was a gracious host and he let me give a voice to victims of weaponization. I don’t see people criticizing @AGToddBlanche who is actually holding American citizens hostage, including many Jewish people. Tucker expresses opinions which harm nobody. Blanche and his prosecutors are actually destroying people and their families and can end the suffering with the stroke of a pen but refuse. I want to see the people criticizing Tucker (or me for going on Tucker’s show) say something about the ongoing weaponization and the lawyers at DOJ who are responsible.

The Democrats are hemorrhaging Jewish voters thanks to the Mamdanification of the Democratic Party.
A bright spot for the GOP... In the state (NY) with the most Jewish voters, the GOP has historically strong midterm polling with them. Hochul's polling 38 pts worse among them than in 2022. On the House ballot, Dems are doing 36 pts worse. Mamdani's image is well underwater.

If you're still screaming about a community of Hasidic Jews who built 86 homes in Okeechobee, Florida, but you have nothing to say about a 5000 acre Catholic community with over 6000 residents in Ave Maria, Florida - located only 90 minutes away - you just may be an Antisemite.
