Text of the page (random words):
026 the united states senate considered two resolutions to block nearly 450 million of arms sales to israel over concerns about human rights violations and the us israel war on iran with pro israel republicans controlling the senate the defeat of these resolutions introduced by sen bernie sanders i vt was predictable indeed the first resolution to stop a 295 million sale of bulldozers that israel has used in the past to destroy civilian homes lost in a 59 40 vote the second to halt a 151 million sale of 12 000 1 000 pound bombs failed 63 36 the surprise was that more than three quarters of the 47 member democratic caucus voted to halt at least one of the sales an unprecedented number jews were reliably democratic before the war and democrats were reliable friends of israel brothers and sisters friends and comrades those days are gone democrats are not only ignoring hamas s war crimes and avowed desire to destroy israel but also favoring an oppressive misogynistic and truly genocidal regime against the only democratic state in the middle east and no i don t think it s just animus against netanyahu or zionism that s motivating this change i think that democratic opposition to israel would be nearly as strong if israel had some other prime minister and it s not zionism they oppose either for that s just the new euphemism for judaism for zionism is just the recognition of the validity of the state of israel as a refuge for jews do these people oppose the many explicitly muslim states as examples of islamism if so i haven t heard about it israel and jews are now seen as oppressors in the oppressor victim narrative that s behind wokeness and the oppression by israel involves the two big lies israel is genocidal and an apartheid state for a refutation of the genocide canard go here and of the apartheid canard go here we are seeing the democratic party becoming more antisemitic and anti enlightenment for democrats like me this is depressing i m not a one issue candidate but i m still jewish and how am i to vote for someone who is anti israel posted on april 26 2026 april 26 2026 by whyevolutionistrue posted in israel politics war 42 comments

assassinate the president at the white house correspondents dinner but it failed investigators were working on sunday to determine a motive in the shooting that sent secret service agents rushing president trump from the stage at the white house correspondents dinner an attack that raised questions about how a gunman was able to get close to one of washington s most heavily guarded events the suspect identified by two law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity as cole tomas allen 31 of torrance calif was taken into custody after running through a security checkpoint and exchanging gunfire with the authorities inside the washington hilton on saturday night officials said he did not reach the ballroom where mr trump top administration officials and hundreds of journalists had gathered late saturday night federal authorities in the los angeles suburbs surrounded a two story home where records show mr allen lives residents gathered nearby on darkened sidewalks as police helicopters circled overhead and law enforcement vehicles with flashing red and blue lights blocked the street the suspect was armed with knives a shotgun and a handgun and had been staying at the washington hilton the interim washington d c police chief jeffery w carroll told reporters on saturday night he said that the authorities were still investigating whether the suspect had targeted the president but that they believed he had acted alone trump and melania were escorted out of the event a secret service agent was hit but apparently saved by his bulletproof vest trump has called off further negotiations with iran canceling steve witkoff and jared kushner s trip to pakistan president trump on saturday called off a trip by two of his top negotiators to islamabad pakistan just before they were set to leave for talks about a potential deal to end the war in iran i ve told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave and i said nope you re not making an 18 hour flight to go there we have all the cards mr trump said in a statement they can call us anytime they want but you re not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing steve witkoff the special envoy and jared kushner the president s son in law had been scheduled to travel to pakistan on saturday along with top aides to vice president jd vance officials in pakistan have been mediating between the united states and iran to try to end more than a month of war in the middle east the cancellation of the trip is the latest sign that iran and the united states are far from reaching a deal to end the war a previous trip to islamabad by mr vance proved unsuccessful and the americans appear no closer to achieving the administration s political goals including convincing iran to turn over its nuclear stockpile and curtail its future program the two sides are also locked in a stalemate over control of the strait of hormuz through which a fifth of the world s oil supply flows mr trump s decision came after iran s foreign minister abbas araghchi who had been in islamabad for talks with pakistani officials left the country and traveled to oman no direct meetings had been scheduled with u s officials after leaving islamabad mr araghchi said in a social media post that he had shared with pakistani officials iran s position on a workable framework to permanently end the war on iran he did not give details of the latest proposal have yet to see if the u s is truly serious about diplomacy he added given the distance between the negotiating parties and the untenable nature of iran s demands right now it seems useless to try negotiating let s see what happens prices throughout the world will go up gas prices in chicago are already about 5 25 per gallon so this remains a test of the ability of each side to play a game of what amounts to economic chicken the nyt has an interview with three entitled people including the wealthy and odious antisemitic streamer hasan piker about why it s okay to steal from capitalists the rich don t play by the rules so why should i here we see the antisemitic content streamer hasan piker the nyt opinion culture editor nadja spiegelman daughter of graphic novelist art spiegelman and new yorker writer jia tolentino discuss the circumstances in which they d break the law to steal from the rich see also the free press article on this unsavory trio the nyt article is archived here there is also a video we can assume that at least two of these discussants are rich piker is a multimillionaire and the fp says that tolentino lives in a 2 2 million brownstone in the clinton hill neighborhood of brooklyn when she s not at her second home upstate and grok reports that spiegelman ears a six figure income as well as being co owner of two nyc properties including a soho condo we can assume they are not starving but they re willing to steal and not always for a good cause a couple of quotes spiegelman would you pirate music from an indie band tolentino is it 2005 and i m using limewire because yes spiegelman i feel like every millennial has at some point tolentino i mean i feel like fundamentally spotify is kind of deleterious to the musician livelihood and i use that but then i go to the shows piker yeah i m pro piracy all the way like across the board would you pirate a car yes you know if you could spiegelman what would it mean to pirate a car piker it was just a classic thing back in the day the government funded antipiracy initiatives would be like would you steal a car i m like yeah sure if i could get away with it if it was as easy as pirating intellectual property i would do it spiegelman yeah would you steal a book from the library tolentino never piker no spiegelman would you steal from the louvre piker yes tolentino i would not be logistically capable of executing such a fact but would i cheer on every news story of people that i see doing it absolutely piker i think it s cool we ve got to get back to cool crimes like that bank robberies stealing priceless artifacts things of that nature i feel like that s way cooler than the 7 000th new cryptocurrency scheme that people are engaging in spiegelman would you steal from whole foods tolentino yes and i have under very specific circumstances i will say i think that stealing from a big box store i ll just state my platform it s neither very significant as a moral wrong nor is it significant in any way as protest or direct action but i did steal from whole foods on several occasions tolentino steals from whole foods she calls it mircrolooting but only to give the food to others tolentino but i didn t feel bad about it at all spiegelman and was part of it because of how you feel about whole foods as a corporation tolentino yeah it already felt like a bit of a compromise at the time i was like i had not been to whole foods i had a bit more consumer discipline about where i was spending my money then and i already felt like i was in the hole even by shopping there and it certainly felt in a utilitarian sense i was like this is not a big deal right guys spiegelman there s one thing that s stealing when you are a teenager and you want the adrenaline rush and part of it is about testing the rules and getting away with something but what i m seeing on tiktok and social media is people saying that they re stealing from whole foods not just for the thrill of it but out of a feeling of anger and moral justification because the rich don t play by the rules so why should i and jeff bezos has too much money he s a billionaire so why should i have to pay for organic avocados my friends and i have started calling this microlooting because it has a slight political valence to theft as opposed to just the thrill of getting away with something have you noticed this around you online have you noticed more people talking about stealing in this way murder they say seems justified by many spiegelman but then when you feel this much anger and it doesn t feel like there s hope for it to be changed in a regulatory way i think that s when you get to things like luigi mangione who is accused of killing the c e o of united healthcare and there being an outpouring of glee for murder online because it feels like finally someone can actually do something about health care i think 41 percent of gen z ers felt that murder was morally justified but it s scary to be in a society where people feel that murder is morally justified and i m curious how we thread that line piker yeah friedrich engels wrote about the concept of social murder and brian thompson as the united healthcare c e o was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder the systematized forms of violence the structural violence of poverty the for profit paywalled system of health care in this country and th...
