Whatever you think of this ad, the fact that anyone could spin it as antisemitic is gobsmacking. The only way you can do that is to equate the nation-state of Israel with all Jews everywhere, which is insane.
I’m sick to my stomach. I honestly never thought that I would witness such an antisemitic piece of American political propaganda in my lifetime. This is Nazi-Islamic antisemitism delivered against the Jewish collective in 2026 in the United States. By endorsing Abdel El-Sayed, the Democratic Party has crossed a threshold that signals a sickening decay of dangerous proportions to the American Jewish community. If this ad isn’t pulled with an explicit apology to the Jewish community, I will say Kaddish over my country of birth. I’m disgusted by what was once a great country. Voting Democratic is now like voting for the Nazi party. Anyone who rationalizes this ad as anything other than an Islamic-Nazi propaganda piece that scapegoats the collective Jew for cheap political currency has succumbed to antizionist brainwashing.

I was against the US war against Afghanistan on 9/11/01. It took years for liberals to catch up. Now it's Ukraine. When will liberals wake up, and stop getting played?

Ted Rall, America's BS Detector retweeted
THIS IS BRAVE: A political ad just released in Michigan tackles the almost unmentionable (in the US) topic of the billions of taxpayer dollars being sent to Netanyahu’s Israel. It features a harried mother and father buying food for their children.

Israel cannot vote itself out of its pariah status. That's permanent.
I said I wasn’t going to weigh in on who should be prime minister of Israel as that is a decision for Israeli citizens. I did, however, want to share one point of view from the perspective of someone who has an understanding of how Israel is perceived in America. Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have caused Israel enormous reputational damage with their statements and actions which are presented in the global media as representing the voice and will of all Israelis. As such, a government formed without Ben-Gvir and Smotrich will send a message to the rest of the world that Israel is turning a new page. This will allow Israel to rebuild lost credibility, increase the opportunity for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and enjoy a better relationship with Democrats and Republicans and Americans at large.

Zionists: our arguments don't make sense. But they're REALLY REALLY LOUD

Maybe they should have settled someplace that wasn't owned by other people.
Zionism is a belief that the Jewish people should have a country, and supporting that country. Therefore anti-Zionism is believing the Jewish people shouldn’t have a country, and not supporting that country. To deny the Jewish people that homeland, is Jew Hate. No difference.

Democrats are poised to win the midterms. But it’s only because voters want to send a message: they’re angry at the Republicans for not using their majority to improve their quality of life. Democrats are just as likely to ignore the anger of the voters—and face their wrath in the not-too-distant future.

• Youth protests erupt in Albania, torching buildings and clashing with police over corruption and a Kushner-backed resort, while similar fury flares in Italy, France and beyond as citizens demand that governments deliver for them. Meanwhile, Kushner blasts a Vanity Fair excerpt as “outrageous” fabrications after it alleges he leveraged secret UAE- and Saudi-linked bank accounts holding hundreds of millions for influence-peddling with Trump. Editorial cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM Eastern time. Today we also discuss: • Middle East Crisis: Israeli forces kill two Palestinian gunmen who wound five Israelis near Hebron, prompting Netanyahu to order a West Bank lockdown days before the election. The U.S. orders non-emergency personnel and families to leave Saudi Arabia as Iranian-backed Houthis ramp up attacks on airports and infrastructure. Billionaire donor Peter Thiel privately slams the Iran war, saying “we should not have done it” and warning of mistakes, even while affirming support for Trump. • Ilhan Omar vows to abandon her raided D.C. home, citing death threats and safety fears after federal agents seize phones and other items in an immigration probe. Meanwhile, federal documents drop a bombshell by listing Ilhan Omar under the name Elmi—matching her ex-husband—fueling the probe into possible immigration fraud and marriage claims. • Trump and Vance dangle disaster aid as midterm leverage, linking relief for storm-hit states like North Carolina to Republican wins while blue areas wait longer. • Health/environment: Scientists declare nearly all shallow coral reefs critically endangered as climate change drives them toward collapse within decades, threatening marine life and coastal communities worldwide. Calley Means, key RFK Jr. ally who helped forge the fracturing MAHA-Trump alliance, quits the administration amid broken food and health promises. • El Paso GOP chair Michael Aboud blasts Sacha Baron Cohen as a “liar and a pervert” and plans to sue after the comedian allegedly tricks him into appearing in the new Ali G film.

Hilariously, AIPAC denies it has any connection to the war it started against Iran
AIPAC is why your fantasy football team stinks. AIPAC is why the weather is bad. AIPAC is why you need an app to park. Say NO to Bernie’s obsessive scapegoating. YES to an America that works with our ally to create U.S. jobs, keep America safe, and promote democratic values.
