About you being a pos? Certainly.

Look at you, being an argumentative dikk and taking the wrong position. Every. Focking. Time. pos.

Of all the things to speak out on in this thread, you choose this. POS.

Tweet is still up. Yes, there are updates in separate tweets, but why leave this up? You are allowing the terrorists to cite it and point to it. It really is unconscionable.

Which the Leftist American MSM is complicit in. It’s borderline criminal behavior for the NYTimes to report it was an Israeli rocket minutes after the explosion.

On CNN just now - Israeli official tells Wolf Blitzer that Israel has an intercept of Hamas terrorists acknowledging that the explosion was due to a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket. Evidence will be released shortly.

Uh oh… Turkey right now, people are attacking the Israeli Embassy https://x.com/wahabtanoli21/status/1714412670135275866?s=46&t=IzbM3-87p2zeOh7T9ScCrQ

Within minutes of the explosion, this was the NY Times’ first tweet on it: Breaking News: An Israeli airstrike hit a Gaza hospital on Tuesday, killing at least 200 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, which said the number of casualties was expected to rise. https://x.com/nytimes/status/1714343713801957435?s=46&t=IzbM3-87p2zeOh7T9ScCrQ As of this writing, the tweet is still up.

The dynamics of changing headlines on the New York Times website regarding the Israeli attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip - first “Israeli attack”, then simply “attack”, then simply “explosion”: https://x.com/sprinter99800/status/1714407005425704989?s=46&t=IzbM3-87p2zeOh7T9ScCrQ

Ilhan Omar blaming Israel as well. Without evidence. While angry, dangerous protests are erupting all over the world. Shoot first. Aim later. https://x.com/ilhanmn/status/1714358704303157661?s=46&t=IzbM3-87p2zeOh7T9ScCrQ

BBC still going with “It must have been Israel”. https://x.com/bbcworld/status/1714352943175008273?s=46&t=IzbM3-87p2zeOh7T9ScCrQ

Rashida Tlaib blamed Israel for the hospital bombing before any facts came out. Three hours later, with evidence emerging that Israel did not do it, the biatch still hadn’t removed or altered her tweet. https://x.com/rashidatlaib/status/1714342122185191596?s=46&t=IzbM3-87p2zeOh7T9ScCrQ

Agreed as well. Thanks for the thread - I’d never seen that before. Cool as hell.

https://www.newsweek.com/democras-are-siding-criminals-over-their-victims-theyre-destroying-our-communities-opinion-1751919 There is an obvious truth that I increasingly feel the need to say out loud: We are all American citizens. We are all entitled to the same rights and protections, no matter where we live or what the color of our skin is. The reason I feel the need to say it is that on the South Side of Chicago where I live and minister, it's not obvious. And this is despite the fact that we are literally drowning in race these days. In the two years since George Floyd was murdered, we have had the Black Lives Matter movement, the Defund the Police movement, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion movement, and the movement to remove ACT and SAT tests, stripping schools of honors classes and wasting valuable time on white privilege instead of educating our kids upward. The latest is the SAFE-T Act, which would abolish the cash bail system. These movements have all been pushed by elites in the name of helping Blacks, but not one of these people has ever visited my neighborhood to ask what we think. BEST OF NEWSWEEK VIA EMAIL It's almost like we have no say, like we are some sort of a social experiment, pawns without minds of our own. That's why Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's championing of the SAFE-T Act is such an insult. The Governor claims that his plan will make our city safer and more equitable. Sounds like a nice, sweet sentiment, doesn't it? But what about the minorities in my neighborhood who suffer some of the worst violence in America? Don't we matter? Tears run down the face of Wentworth Gardens resident Tunyona Frazier as she talks about violence in the housing complex while police investigate a crime scene where three people were shot at the complex on June 23, 2021 in Chicago, Illinois. A 24-year-old man died from injuries he suffered in the shooting and two others, a 22-year-old male and a 25-year-old male, were seriously wounded.SCOTT OLSON/GETTY IMAGES This Democratic governor who descends from one of America's richest families will never have to see the realities of his actions on the ground. But my community will. SIGN UP FOR NEWSWEEK’S DAILY HEADLINES > It is unfortunate, but thanks to decades of failed liberal policies, many of our impoverished, abysmally educated youths resort to violence. And when they do, they prey on us, American citizens who are just trying to live our lives and make the world a better place. One of those people is my friend Carol Claudio, who works at my non-profit community center, Project H.O.O.D. (Helping Others Obtain Destiny). She was recently carjacked and had a gun pointed at her face. She truly feared for her life, because mercy is on a short supply these days in my neighborhood. "I felt violated and helpless," Carol told me. "The police were called five times and never showed up, which made me feel as if I didn't matter. I can't even image the persons who did this not being held accountable for their actions, and being let out just to do it to someone else." Pastor Corey Brooks in Chicago. It is Governor Pritzker's job to protect Carol and countless others who are overcoming incredible odds for their shot at the American Dream. Yet he plans to make them less safe, to make that dream an impossibility. And he can hardly plead ignorance; he knows that we have had over 500 murders so far this year, over 1,500 cases of sexual assault, over 6,400 robberies, 15,000 thefts, 13,000 car thefts. And his solution is to make things more equitable for criminals who happen to be minorities? Down here, we don't see them as minorities. We see them for what they are: criminals who must be removed from our neighborhood so that we may have peace to go to the store, to school, or church. I say all of these things as someone who believes in rehabilitation with all my heart. For the last 10 years, Project H.O.O.D. has been rehabbing citizens fresh out of prison. Our neighborhood receives more than half of all the prisoners released in Chicago every year, and we strive to meet them all and offer them a pathway to the American Dream. I asked my new friend, Pierre Blakney, what he thought of the Governor's new plan. Pierre was recently released from prison and he is working at our community center to prevent youngsters from following his path. "I ended up in prison for making bad choices," Pierre told me. "I was trying to make fast and easy money to provide for my family, so I sold drugs and to protect myself, I carried a weapon." To Pierre, the thought of free bail "sounds real good from the criminal mindset because anything short of murder or treason, I know I will be right back on the streets without having to post bail. It will only lead me to committing more crimes because I haven't learned my lesson from the first crime. There was no accountability, nor any jail time, for me to reflect on my actions." What Pierre did not mention was that his victims were mostly minorities—the very ones that our governor ignores completely. My community has had to do what it can to take matters into our own hands. In the end, we will be the ones to end the violence, change the culture from bad faith to good faith. We will make the South Side thrive again. We certainly can't rely on Democratic politicians to do it for us. I recently saw a tweet quoting a lesson from the ancient Midrash that describes our leaders so effectively: "He who is compassionate to the cruel will ultimately become cruel to the compassionate."

Flashback: George Soros wrote op-ed bashing US, Israel for not working with Hamas Tim’s hero. Makes sense.

Your antisemitism is getting bolder by the day.

Once, I Was a Peace Advocate. Now, I Have No Idealism Left. After terrorists killed my cousin Daniel Pearl, my family called for peace. But after the worldwide celebration of our people’s slaughter, my hope for peace is dead. By Ilan Benjamin October 13, 2023 The story I’m about to tell is one that many progressive Jews can relate to. In some ways, it’s a prototypical arc of a diaspora Jew who has always advocated for nuance. This week, something broke in us. We watched history repeat itself. Not just on the global scale, with the wanton massacre of our people, the savage mass murders and dismemberments of entire families and communities. But for many, my family included, history is repeating itself on a personal level as well. In March 2003, I turned 13 and celebrated my bar mitzvah in Walnut Creek, California. By Jewish tradition, I became a man. But the ceremony felt redundant; I had already grown up. Only one year earlier, my older cousin, Daniel Pearl, an investigative journalist for The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamist jihadis while on assignment in Pakistan. His killers, like the Hamas killers of last weekend, proudly released a video documenting Danny’s murder. Among Danny’s last words were, “My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I am Jewish.” At first, I was in shock—how had my own cousin become a player in such a large international nightmare? Why did people get murdered simply for being who they are? In this case, for being Jewish? Danny’s parents did not call for revenge. Instead they set up The Daniel Pearl Foundation that offers fellowships, sponsors cross-cultural music events (Danny was a gifted musician), and brings people together to improve the world. Even after what my family had been through, their work encouraged me to be idealistic and believe that the Jewish people could make peace with our neighbors. I became a fierce advocate for peace. When I immigrated to Israel at the age of 18 and enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces, I was still driven by ideals. I thought I could promote more goodwill with our Palestinian neighbors. Serving in a combat unit based on the Gaza border, I witnessed the release of the kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, held for five years by Hamas, when his freedom was exchanged for more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. One for 1,000. Despite my many criticisms of the Israeli government, I recognized then how much Israel valued the life of every soldier. On my rare free weekend, I spent my time at Kibbutz Be’eri. Because I was a “lone soldier”—that is, an immigrant without much close family in Israel—I was given a host family. They treated me like a son, including teasing me relentlessly for choosing to come to Israel and serve, whereas most Israelis have no choice. They were politically left, just like me. Despite rockets often raining down on them, they believed in peace, just like me. This week, when the terrorists came, ideals didn’t make a difference. I watched the news in horror as terrorists massacred over 100 people at Kibbutz Be’eri. Women. Children. I frantically messaged my host family and heard nothing back. Like my cousin Danny years ago, my family was being held hostage. The good news: unlike Danny, my host family at Kibbutz Be’eri was saved. They are physically okay. But how can they really be okay, after watching their friends and neighbors being slaughtered? There was a time when these types of events couldn’t shake my ideals. I used to argue relentlessly for a two-state solution. I fought bitterly with Israeli friends about the decency of the Palestinian people. Even though radical Islamists had murdered my cousin, even though civilians had been blown up in buses daily during the Second Intifada, I refused to give in to nihilism. In 2012, I returned to the States to study film at University of Southern California, and published a book about my military service that criticized the Israeli government. This didn’t win me many friends, but I continued to advocate for nuance regardless. I proudly supported Black Lives Matter, LGBTQIA+, and feminist causes. I called myself a progressive Jew. But over the years, I noticed a disturbing trend: With all the atrocities in the world, why did my social justice warrior friends hate Israel so disproportionately? Why did it feel like intersectionality excluded Jews? Why did the left—who supposedly stood up for human rights—put child-murdering Hamas terrorists on a pedestal? At first, I thought it must be miseducation. “Ah, they think Palestinians are the indigenous people. I’ll show that Jewish history, and the archaeology to prove it, dates back millennia.” “Ah, they think we’re white colonizers. I’ll show how many Jews are people of color, including those who are Mizrahi, Sephardi, and Ethiopian.” “Ah, they’ll get it once I show them that there are fifty Muslim countries, and only one Jewish state.” But my friends weren’t interested in correcting their misunderstandings. I agreed that the settlements were unlawful, that Gaza was a humanitarian crisis, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyuahu was a dictator. I assumed—if I cared enough, if I mourned for the Palestinian dead, if I put nuance above all else—our neighbors and their allies would give us the same decency. How wrong I was. This past week, as over 1,300 Jews were slaughtered, the most murderous attack on Jews since the Holocaust, I saw the true face of Palestinians and their allies. All around the world, they celebrate. They gloat. They mock our tears. They do not protest against Hamas. They embrace pure evil. And so, to the terrorists I now say: When you killed my family, I forgave you. When you killed my people, I forgave you. But when you killed my idealism, I had no forgiveness left. To non-Jewish friends who have reached out, thank you. It is simply the human thing to do. To friends who dare justify what has happened, you are not friends. You are nothing but Nazi supporters dressed up in leftist intellectual language. To the Palestinians: you have lost all moral authority to claim victimhood. I will never advocate for you again. To my family, friends in Israel, and Jews around the world hurting right now, I love you. Stay safe. In Berlin, where I live today with my German-Ukrainian Jewish wife, Germans love to say “Never Again.” Right now, Never Again is happening again in real time, livestreamed for the whole world to see. I find myself looking up my military number in case the IDF reserves call for me. Unlike our enemy, I feel no joy at the prospect of going to war. But if our people’s existence is at stake, I will do what I must. I will be the world’s favorite villain: the Jew who has the audacity to defend his people.

I’m sure Gutterdik will be in here any second calling you a sicko for posting that.

Just a couple of college kids.

“When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Nice pivot. We are now onto victim blaming. Of course this won’t be applied to Biden’s intelligence failure. I’m pretty certain those will be coming in shortly, and I’m sure you’ll post those as well.

There is no equivocating between Israel and Hamas. Sorry, but that’s just false. Please provide proof where Israel has knowingly, and with the express intent to achieve, the slaughter of innocent woman and children. That’s not to say that innocent civilians haven’t been killed by Israeli rockets, but that is collateral damage and not the primary goal. If you have evidence where Israel is indiscriminately butchering woman and children, please provide it. Otherwise, stfu.

Sorry, but if I’m making a list of the biggest anti-Semites in this thread, you are in the top 2. Fact.
