Show up and act like you are part of the Inglourious Basterds.
"Look at what the Jews and their allies did in Philadelphia, repeat it, grow it, and don’t stop. Show up everywhere. Outnumber the scum and get in their faces. Above all, be brave. Don’t steer clear of targeted businesses or neighborhoods or shuls. Don’t change your life one bit to accommodate the thugs." --from today's newsletter

Adolf Eichmann went to the gallows unrepentant.
The minister who tried to save his soul discovered something more chilling than the “banality of evil”: a Nazi who knew exactly what he believed.

Dumb and Dumber.
Bumped into my friend, @BradLander, who is going to be an important new voice for human rights in Palestine.

A magazine is more than a reading list on paper. Its magic lies in someone else choosing what belongs—and making something for you to keep.
Like heirlooms, the things we read gather meaning as they pass from hand to hand.

No gap is wider than the one between people who’ve been to Israel and people who haven’t.
Do you know why antisemites hate @birthright so much?
Because they're afraid that once people see Israel with their own eyes, they'll stop believing the lies they've been told about it.

Huh. So is @elonmusk indirectly saving legacy media?
Deeply cynical to describe Elon Musk's election efforts as a $446 million loss.
It's obviously a hyper-successful $446 million local media stimulus package.

they publish not what is true but what they want to be true.
Yesterday the NYT published a list of what was alleged to be over 500 Michigan “Jewish leaders” supporting El-Sayed. The point of doing so was to paint a narrative that he has strong Jewish support in MI.
But did the NYT do any vetting to the list?
A quick skim and you notice it includes names like “Jack Mehoff”. I happen to know that one of the names is someone deceased. A majority of the signatories don’t even use their full names, just a last initial, so it’s impossible to confirm these are even real people or Jewish.
Why would they publish a story about a completely unreliable list with random names on a google sheet? Because the point was the narrative.

Nothing to see here. This is totally normal.
Over the past months, a single Wikipedia editor has been quietly shaping @AbdulElSayed's entry.
The editing has been intensive and highly directed. For example:
+ Hasan Piker controversy got cut down.
+ Syed's antisemitism problem – deleted.
+ Harris and Obama endorsements went in.
+ A line saying AIPAC’s brand is “toxic” included.
Is it an op?
Well, two weeks ago the same editor had this to say in an edit summary on the El-Sayed page:
“another half month of this shit.”

1. Olivia interviewed Stevens the night *after* Stevens endorsed Rogers.
2. Even if it was before, as imagined in your little conspiracy, it would have been a scoop, not a Zionist plot––which is what your camp calls two Zionists speaking.
3. I'm going to start calling every story we do a "deployment." Way more fun than calling it "reporting."

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

This begs the question, are the left anti-Israel because they believe it or because they are afraid to be beheaded?
Elif Eralp möchte Regierende Bürgermeisterin Berlins werden. Doch in einem internen Vermerk zeigt die Linkenpolitikerin, dass sie sich vor Terrorsympathisanten mit Kontakten zur Hamas fürchtet. Kann so jemand für die Sicherheit in der Hauptstadt verantwortlich… Link in X-Bio.

So many heads would explode.
There's an excellent way out of Israel's political quagmire. It requires Bibi to reach out and form a coalition with Mansour Abbas. No, really.

Semafor says it never took Qatari "investment." But nobody asked about that.
What people want to know, and what Semafor refuses to answer, is how much Qatari money it took, on what terms, and how it shaped their coverage of Qatar.
Time for @TheJusticeDept to step in.
The soft bigotry of low expectations. A @bradlander special.
Wow!
HUGE: KIND founder and Shark @DanielLubetzky says Semafor's CEO once bragged to him about getting millions from Qatar to "train journalists," for work costing a tiny fraction of that.
He says it felt to him like a bribe.
Exactly what my thread laid out.
