objectively funny that these guys kept slipping and falling while they were trying to commit racialized terror w impunity
Leftist streamer Hasan Piker mocked injured ICE agents at a sold-out Minneapolis campaign event alongside Rep. Ilhan Omar, laughing about "funny compilations" of federal officers getting hurt during Operation Metro Surge and joking that "a lot of hip bones were broken."
The comments ignited a firestorm from conservatives and even some Minnesota Democrats. Rep. Angie Craig and Sen. Amy Klobuchar publicly condemned Piker, while Omar's campaign defended her attendance as an effort to mobilize young voters ahead of next week's midterm elections.
Piker, who previously made headlines for saying "America deserved 9/11," has become a polarizing figure on Democratic campaign trails — embraced by some, rejected by others. Omar herself is facing her own scrutiny after HSI agents searched her D.C. home earlier this month and a federal court filing identified her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

What are the turnout figures if you count the 5 million Palestinian Arabs living under Israeli tyranny and denied the right to vote?

What you call the “Jewish center” were parties (Bennett, Liberman) every analyst considered as far-right a few years ago.

🚨 SUDAN: At around 8 pm local time yesterday, a drone strike by the Sudanese Armed Forces hit a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur. A second strike also hit a civilian neighbourhood. The Nyala Teaching hospital, which we support, saw over 150 wounded people.
“This is appalling. Markets, homes, and key civilian infrastructure are not targets. All parties to the conflict must protect civilians.”

Bombs have reportedly hit residential areas across the city, including the Tongonaj Market.

Lander needs to make the journey Avi Shlaim did from liberal Zionism to anti Zionism imho

I hate this condescending whataboutism. Yes Bret, if the interior minister of Japan was a right-wing religious zealot using US taxpayer money for ethnic cleansing, they would probably be better known.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

“You take the victim and make the victim the perpetrator.” I hear versions of this argument a lot but it doesn’t make any sense. No category of person is fixed through history as one or the other. Many (most?) have taken a turn as both victim and perpetrator depending on context.
“To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild.”
Broadway icon and Nobody Wants This star Tovah Feldshuh gets real with Jonathan Harounoff on UNSCRIPTED, on acting, marriage, the global rise of antisemitism, and what she says about the genocide accusations against Israel.
Full episode drops Monday, October 26 on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Just listen to this.
Then consider these polls:
76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025)
82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025)
47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

I know of no other place on earth where the shooting of two soldiers leads to the displacement of 2000 people who had no connection to the shooting other than being in the neighbourhood.
דיברתי עכשיו עם חברים פלסטינים מחברון, אלפי פלסטינים פונו מבתיהם מהרגע להרגע לא כי הם עשו משהו, לא כי הם יודעים משהו, לא כי הם הביעו תמיכה במפגעים. רק בגלל שם שכנים של שני פלסטינים שהרגו שני חיילים שלנו.
זאת עזפיקציה של הגדה המערבית, ממשלת ישראל יודעת שלהרוס את הבתים של לפחות 2,000 פלסטינים חפים מפשע זה לא מביא ביטחון.
אבל זה כן מביא את תחושת הנקם שהמתנחלים מתענגים עליה בריקוד שלהם על דם החיילים הצעירים שאיבדו את חייהם.
המתנחלים רוצים דם אלימות ואפרטהייד אנחנו רוצים חיים ושלום בין העמים. גם ובעיקר על זה הבחירות
