Antisemitism means treating Jews unequally. There's zero evidence that Zohran Kwame Mamdani opposes giving Jews equal rights--either in the US or Israel-Palestine--and mountains of evidence that his critics oppose equality for Palestinians. When will they have to answer for that?

#Israel's ground incursions into SW #Syria escalated sharply this past week -- with 18 in 7 days. They've also turned more aggressive: detaining men & removing them to #Israel; demolishing homes; shuttering roads & razing forests. Popular frustration & anger is rising. 🧵

Trying to wrap my head around the sheer volume of bigotry and fanaticism that exists in Florida's 6th Congressional District, which sent this fiend to the House of Representatives.

This song is trending in Iran "Iran, oh the land of hope" Beautiful father daughter moment 🥺

Foreign Policy In #ISIS's eyes, #Syria in 2025 looks a lot like #Iraq in 2003 -- with minority/majority power changes, complex ethnic & sectarian dynamics & high-stakes geopolitical tensions amid a transition. Playing on such fragilities & exacerbating sectarian terror/tensions is #ISIS 101.

NSW Legislative Council antisemitism inquiry today: As a matter of fact - and Australian law - criticism of Israel and Zionism, however inflammatory or adversarial, is NOT by its nature antisemitism. The federal court has effectively rejected the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

Has #Oct7 and #Israel's destruction of #Gaza brought ancient hatred and turmoil to Australia's shores? My latest ep of #GodForbid with Centre for Independent Studies. abc.net.au/listen/program…

The term 'Shylock' evokes a centuries-old antisemitic trope about Jews and greed that is extremely offensive and dangerous. President Trump's use of the term is very troubling and irresponsible. It underscores how lies and conspiracies about Jews remain deeply entrenched in our

This is just a regurgitation of a baseless idea. Anyone who knows anything about Hebron understands this. As my friend Issa Amro عيسى عمرو 🇵🇸 put it well: worthless bullshit
