That’s a third, fourth and fifth insult and another irrelevancy about my family. Don’t worry, I hear your real argument: “just let us finish the war crimes! hush up about the war crimes! real Jews don’t care about the war crimes!”
Two insults, an appeal to my family (?!), and some emojis. Yes Alan, some people I love are as hot-headed as you seem, & I want to keep loving them & oppose war crimes. I hear you crying “just let us finish the war crimes! hush up about the war crimes! real Jews don’t care about the war crimes!”
Another example of this miserable argument. “You’re not allowed to object to war crimes; that just makes the bad guys happy. Just let us finish the war crimes! That will make the bad guys sad.”
…about the muslim brotherhood. but this video is cheap propaganda.
why is this video cut so that while ziada talks about the muslim b’hood’s political manipulation, an image of rep. rashida tlaib appears (:42 mark)? to deny legitimacy to tlaib and anyone else speaking out for palestinians and against israeli war crimes. ziada may have important things to say...
Trump’s allies in the House could contest the narrowest Democratic victories, demanding 2020-style recount after recount to engineer enough ballots to win.
defining/counting jews & zionists is fraught, but w around 16 million jews worldwide, you can’t know the % of “zionists” by “getting out more.” i agree w much of the post below - but antisemitism is a real and giant problem too.

This Jew (formerly of New York) agrees with Mamdani: Greenblatt and his ADL do not speak for me. Antisemitism is a real problem. It should not be made a pretext for fascism and war crimes.
(I’m responding to the post and image below.)
I agree with your general point - this is a wildly false and antisemitic invoking of “blood libel” by Vance. But I respectfully disagree with the “definitionally” part. Some antisemites are right now engaging in blood libel against Jews, whose leaders really are doing war crimes in Gaza.
this asshole is really good at asking people to apologize

yes, he believed in it. hard to know which science was obvious to smarties of earlier times. gb shaw has “the doctor’s dilemma,” where he makes fun of some, but maybe not all, of the med theories - blood poisoning/nuciform sac, stimulation of phagocytes, opsinin…

i had a hard time figuring out if he was serious about that one. sometimes a writer needs to let loose after all the self-discipline of creating the masterpiece. nabokov impersonating john ray, phd. tolstoy’s two insane epilogues proving that napoleon was not a great man.
“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

“We have a right to know the charges against us, to know who has made the charges and to review them and defend ourselves… But none of that has happened, which is why we’re in Kafka-land… It is an enormous breach of trust.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Can I ask what this is about? My memory from those days is of MG as a competent leader of a DOJ team that carefully and successfully prosecuted that case and obtained the death penalty.
The willingness of my fellow Jews to be party to authoritarianism is one of the most distressing features of these times.
In July, he imposed 50% tariffs on most Brazilian goods to fight what he has called a "witch hunt" against Bolsonaro. He later exempted some Brazilian exports, including passenger vehicles and a large number of parts and components used in civil aircraft.
We’ll be reversing some of the Brazil tariff exemptions and reversing them very strongly.
