Really good piece:
" #Antisemitism operates differently from many other forms of hatred because it is conspiratorial in nature rather than simply prejudicial.
Conspiracy beliefs are self-sealing: evidence against them is interpreted as proof of the conspiracy itself."
Or Hezbollah can simply return the body of the hostage who they tortured to death in the 90s?
The Canadian establishment is fascinating.
Was it wrong for his critics to talk about Tory being on the Rogers payroll while he was mayor? Or was it tawdry to do so?
Not something the Canadian establishment would do?

Best type of Bluesky account: ceaseless anti-Jewish posting, some variant of โI punch Nazisโ in bio.
took way too long but the victims of this attack, and those in the Israeli embassy and the nearby church and old peopleยดs home finally avenged today
It's a shame we can't go back to before 1948, back then Jews had no pesky state, no guns, no way to defend themselves and they were loved everywhere they went๐
It's inappropriate for the ICJ to be in the Hague. The Netherlands collaborated with the Holocaust and has engaged in no contrition over it since, and the symbolic meaning of siting a genocide court there is that perpetrators get to judge victims. It should be moved to Yerevan, Kigali, or Jerusalem.
I've been working on this for ages in various countries: the story of the intelligence buildup to Putin's 2022 invasion. How did the US and Britain find out so much, and why were Europe and Ukraine sceptical.
It's a long one:

Selfishness. When he was young and healthy, he wanted tax cuts. Now he's old and has health challenges, so wants more health spending.

Of course, none of this means that you need to personally accept Jewish nationalism. But it needs to be acknowledged that it was an understandable response to the perceived failure of defining Jewish peoplehood on strictly religious grounds, which itself as a Christian imposition from outside.
From stopping a Hamas convoy outside Tzohar on Oct. 7 to 400 days of combat in Gaza, reserve officer and activist Shlomi Damri describes how war, loss, and responsibility reshaped his life and his fight for change in Israel.

AIPAC exists as an organization BECAUSE American sympathy for Israel was neither automatic nor strong in Israel's early history. In fact, the American State department during WW2 & in the immediate aftermath was infamously antisemitic, and after the war the Allies kept Shoah survivors in DP Camps.
Specifically, the problem beautifully described by my friend Ben Wexler (maybe he'll turn up here one day?)
Probably the best and most important thing you can read about the new decolonial antisemitism, as Ben calls it ๐๐ผ
antisemitism is the crossroad at which all weirdo insane far right nonsense meets and makes peace, thus why a bunch of black guys are hanging out with an out and out Nazi like Fuentes, its all okay as long as we hate Jews.
It would not be surprising if the same Jew hatred masked as anti-Zionist rhetoric is now thriving in similar groups in the US
An undercover reporter joined France's anti-Israel movement. Here's what she found
www.timesofisrael.com/an-undercove...
"What about antisemitismโs political profile? For the overall sample, the survey found no consistent ideological or partisan split in agreement with antisemitic statements." In other words, on some level, this is everyone's problem.
This is where much of the Republican Party is at: roddreher.substack.com/p/what-i-saw...

The "Ku Klux Klan bombed both the templeโs office and former Rabbi Perry Nussbaum's home in November of 1967."

Evan Solomon: Contrary to media reports, Canada is not considering a ban of X. Quoting Evan Solomon: Deepfake sexual abuse is violence. We must protect Canadians, especially women and young people, from exploitation. Platforms and AI developers have a duty to prevent this harm.
Of course not. That would make the tech bros that Solomon is sucking up to very angry.
What an absolutely useless waste of a Cabinet minster.
An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.
One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.
The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.
mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...
There have been at least 48 major incidents targeting synagogues
and Jewish community events worldwide, since the 7 Oct 2023 Hamas-led mass casualty attacks against Israel.
If you cannot condemn โglobalize the Intifadaโ loudly & unequivocally then you are part of problem.
"From the river to the sea" means "Kill all Jews in Palestine".
"Globalize the intifadah" means "Kill all Jews everywhere".
We told you. You smugly lectured us on white European colonial projects and how Israel is the same as Rhodesia.
Get fucked.

One thing I'd always like to point out when NIMBYs say some application isn't producing enough green space: we have the room for lots of green space. We just spend it on parking.
In 2025, AIPAC spent $2,783,195 on lobbying. The AARP spent $15,560,000. That's more than five times more. Do you think the AARP owns the government five times over? Or do you think that only Jews are capable of such perfidy
