Our only hope may be that this administration is (once again) too incompetent to accomplish its authoritarian agenda.

Trump is replacing Critical Race Theory with the Great Replacement Theory. Scary stuff.

Iโ€™ve not โ€œflip floppedโ€ my position once. I simply presented the text of the holy book you brought up to show how anti-Zionism is not just antisemitic, but anti-Islamic as well, as it goes against the orders of your own prophet.

It doesnโ€™t matter what your โ€œinterpretationโ€ is. Palestine is still never mentioned in the Quran. What is mentioned dozens of times is Israel. Allah even promises the land of Israel to the Jews. For example: (Quran 5:21) "O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you.โ€

Youโ€™ve not โ€œcaughtโ€ anyone, and only proved your initial argument is false. Perhaps one needs to suspend their intelligence to believe the lies of of the Pro-Hamas camp, but I simply canโ€™t deny history and facts.

This is an insult to our intelligence. Mohammad died in 632 CE. The al-Aqsa Mosque wasnโ€™t built until 692 CE. It didnโ€™t exist at the time of Mohammedโ€™s life, nor even before the first published texts of the Koran.

Theyโ€™re part of the same anti-democratic machine programmed by Putin. 10/7 was Putinโ€™s most effective election meddling scheme ever. It instantly divided and weakened the Left, and discredited countless institutions. The fact that was Putinโ€™s birthday was no coincidence.

Trump has traded away American power and influence for nothing. Like Putin, Trump doesnโ€™t know how to win a war. And after this, Iโ€™m not sure anyone would want to fight under his pathetic excuse for leadership. Heโ€™s no president. Heโ€™s a wrecking ball. Thatโ€™s it.

Trump and his team claim they are protecting American interests, but there are no benefits to declaring a Putin victor in this war. None. It makes us as weak as Russia, and aligns us with anti-democratic forces around the worldโ€”the same regimes who seek to destroy us.

Itโ€™s in that context that Trump has swooped in to rescue Putin. Instead of leveraging the power of our allies and our own military might to send Putin, a murderous dictator, limping back to St. Petersburg with his tail between his legs, Trump sided with him over our democratic ally.

Putinโ€™s military has never been in worse shape. Aside from hundreds-of-thousands of infantry dead, heโ€™s lost countless military vehicles, tanks and aircraft. Even his Black Sea fleet has been decimated. And for all of that, Putin made little progress against Ukraine. Heโ€™s failed by every measure.

If you want to know what really happened in the oval yesterday, consider this:

Putin has never been weaker. His economy is on life-support. Heโ€™s been humiliated by the catastrophe he started in Ukraine. Heโ€™s overseen more Russian deaths than in any Russian conflagration since Stalin.

Itโ€™s funny, Palestine isnโ€™t mentioned once in the Koran, yet Israel is mentioned dozens of times. In fact Jews are referred to as โ€œchildren of Israel.โ€

None. They left at the behest of the Arab League who promised them they could come back once they annihilated the Jews. Then the Arab leaders lied about Dier Yassin and they all fled in terror.

No. 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab lands since 1948. Thatโ€™s why only a handful of Jews are left throughout the Arab/Muslim world. They were ethnically cleansed and no amount of revisionist history will erase that.

Today, Hamas celebrated their brutal kidnapping and murder of Shiri Bibas, her infant son Kfir, and his 4-year-old brother Ariel, parading their tiny coffins like trophies for a cheering crowd.

Israel doesnโ€™t dehumanize Palestinians. They dehumanize themselves.

It was also a movement for equality for all, including for non-Jews. Thatโ€™s why Israel is the only progressive democracy in the Middle East with equal rights for all religions, ethnicities and genders. Itโ€™s why 2 million Muslims live with full equal rights in Israel.

Rather, Zionism recognized humanityโ€™s innate intolerance of Jews and proposed at a time when nation-states were forming around the globe, that Jews establish their own state. It was an effort for self-determination, and a hope to prevent the coming Holocaust.

Redefining the one term used to describe Jew-hate is talking over Jews.

Zionism is not racism. Nor are Jews white. In fact, the majority of Israelโ€™s population would not be considered โ€œwhite,โ€ as most of them emigrated from Africa and ME countries. We certainly werenโ€™t white enough for Hitler.

You are talking over Jews right now. Your movement was stollen from Jews. Stop scapegoating Jews and using Zionism as some kind of shield for your racism.

Redefining antisemitism for Jews is antisemitism. Talking over Jews is antisemitic.

Not only were Jews forced to pay the jizyah, they could only work in certain fields, could not participate in politics, law or any authority position. Hey had few rights compared to Muslims. They couldnโ€™t even ride a horse. It was state-sponsored discrimination.

Vaccinate your kids now before itโ€™s too late. Measles is no joke. It can cause blindness, brain damage and destroy the โ€œmemoryโ€ of your immune system against diseases to which you were previously immune.
