I'm not sure what that has to do with this specific race, but okay.

AIPAC has become a buzz word for candidates.

do you have any critiques about the factual content of this ad tho

I thought America was starting to get over this knee-jerk reflex that the minute we criticize Israel or more accurately its current leadership (bc Israel is not monolithic), we are somehow anti-semitic. Lots of blame for Middle East to go around.

No... it's anti-Israel, not antisemitic. Unless, perhaps, you believe that criticism of Idi Amin was anti-black racism, for example. It helps to know the difference between 'Jews' and 'The Netanyahu regime'. For example, genocidal behaviour is NOT a Jewish characteristic. I hope this helps.

It is absolutely antisemitism to call a Jewish person Israel first without some evidence that his loyalties lie with the state of Israel before the country he is a resident and citizen of.

turns out gaba is just straight up pro-genocide anyway

I’m giggling at how fucking stupid this is.

"Antisemitism," used this way, is a way to express Islamophobia while portraying others trying to protect vulnerable people as bigots. Nazi ass gaslighting bullshit.

The problem is that you think opposing Israel is antisemitism. Antisemitism has nothing to do with Israel or Zionism. Antisemitism is about Jewish people.

Which views of the DSA are antisemitic?

Why do you assume they don’t know. The fact YOU highlight “centrist” makes me doubt you. As does assuming

What?

Do you think opposing NATO is antisemitism?

Cursed

Why is a British person living in New York obsessed with 2 countries they are not from and do not live in? The bot is coming from inside the house it seems

Is it antisemitism or antizionism? Because if it’s antizionism, that’s based as fuck and it’s one of the reasons many of us joined. If it’s antisemitism, provide proof of your claim.

Found the braindead racist who thinks “existing while brown” and/or opposing genocidal terrorists is “antisemitism”

Great illustration of the point. Thank you

name the centrist Dem who is welcoming the DSA. name one.

Yeah heaven forbid the people who keep losing to fascists get replaced by people who win elections. The horror!

DSA is like 75% white. What worries people is that some are old enough to have spent time in the Eastern Bloc for example. Socialists committed atrocities like Nazis in these countries.

DSA is more like how the far right always cries about their imaginary “commies”

I think that you can probably address the problem WITHOUT finding a way to make it the Democrats' fault. C'mon, try a little bit.

Genuinely baffling that you fucking freaks still think people are going to fall for your "Israel is all Jews so being against Israel is the same as calling for auschwitz 2" routine It's vile, it's evil, and no one with two brain cells to rub together is buying it, please fuck off forever

CLEAR the fog of antizionism. bsky.app/profile/dark...

Smaller than I thought. Eheu.

“Antisemitism” and it’s people who don’t support a fascist apartheid/jim crow state committing genocide using our tax dollars. Shut up lmfaoooo centrist Dems are why we got Trump twice with their fecklessness

If the DSA was "unstoppable at this point" you might have actual centrism instead of the fascism you live under now. But it's all about perspective, I guess.

When you say "centrist Dems" who exactly are you talking about? If you have a legitimate complaint about specific Democrats, then address them by name. Otherwise, I'm going to assume you're talking about Black/Jewish/Women Democrats.

Pretty gross imo to try and do "America First, but leftishly" even aside from the rest but yeah slapping "Israel First" over four policy points that have nothing to do with foreign policy in a role that does not engage with foreign policy is hard to interpret as anything but blatant antisemitism

Disgusting. If she wants to hit him on data centers or family leave vote, that's fine. But this is beyond the pale.

**just one of the four issues

Yeah, they know all they need to do is say “Israel” or “AIPAC” in any context whatsoever and a whole bunch of people will look no further.

You mean the part where you wrote that he didn't take any money from AIPAC, oh no, whoops, he did?

oh, no wonder you're mad about this, lmao. get money out of politics and consultant class dudes like you lose their cushy job sucking up to billionaires, no wonder you hate the left wing and favor foreign money subverting the will of the voters.

Nooo send your kids to die for israel, wait we need a trillion dollars please USA how will we genocide these children with rocks they're scary, omg did a college student say the word gaza ok no more universities for america

bsky.app/profile/born... Care to revise your bullshit argument? (and I am a Jew so don't even...)

Timmer is correct. The racist left is as bad as the racist right. As so often happens, the two supposedly polar extremes actually meld into overlap.

nope

This has never been more incorrect than it is today, and this issue has made you an insane person.

that's not true. when we say Israel we mean Israel. if a leftist believes in intersectionality EXCEPT for Jewish people then they don't really believe in intersectionality. and if a leftist doesn't believe in intersectionality then I'm sorry but they're just not a leftist

This is such lazy thinking as to be laughable.

Wtaf? The Israeli government sucks. Just like ours sycks. Just like many others...but moreover in many eyes because they are much more visible...and loaded with hypocrisy!

We mean aipac.

This is incredibly stupid. It's also totally false. What more, I think you KNOW it's false, that makes it slander.

outside of Maine I have not seen an uglier Senate race in America by far. Texas got testy this is outright brutal. Trump won in 2024 so El Sayed has to earn not just Stevens supporters votes but also independents who won't take kindly to being called Zionazis and baby killers for not falling in line

... antisemite who can't distinguish the Netanyahu regime from Jewish people, Charles, but most of us are more intelligent than that, thank God.

Define "zionist."

You've got it backwards. When rightoids in 2006 used the word "Zionist" they just meant Jews. Now it's for people who support the actions of the State of Israel.

its crazy how dems like you just openly disparage the idea of being left-wing now, you hate 'leftists' more than you hate the republicans that are actually in control of the country lol guess it's fascism forever then thanks a lot

That's certainly a really convenient way to never have to believe anyone gives a shit about the things they profess

If I didn't want to feel personally attacked when leftists criticise Israel, I would simply not agree with everything Israel is doing.

"Akshualllly, black slaves volunteered to fight for the confederacy."

Nah. That ain't it

no it’s not

first of all, nobody who does any serious study of pol sci uses the term "leftist", second of all, what do I mean when I say "shitbird"

“Charlie Brown had hoes” ass take

Utter drivel.

gaba ghoul

They’re funded by U.S. citizens. It’s their country as well.

become a Democrat in 2009. I couldn’t remember his name for a minute, so I searched for “Jewish Republican Senator Pennsylvania.” The first result Google gave me was the Wikipedia page for John Fetterman. I cannot emphasize enough how not Jewish Fetterman is. But he backs the IDF so close enough

They are MAGA too.

I think there's a lot of conflation with, say, AIPAC and J-Street and similar organizations with similar goals for the Zionist project and similar means for achieving them, but if there were a few fascist gun-lobby organizations similar to the NRA i wouldn't think it our of pocket to conflate those.

nope. all my jewish homies are antizionist and this is a strawman.

Which is what you seem to be doing here. Israel is a country AND an ethnostate AND the world capital of one of the largest religions. AND it has a unique position of having a rich ancient history and also a tumultuous modern reformation. Sprinkle in the rise of fascism and it’s a powderkeg of

no, wrong, no

The "combination" is literally just appointing someone to be the go-between for US and Israeli technology transfer. It's a defense industrial oversight position, not a command position.

It’s not a foreign influence group. You’re extremely ignorant.

I currently disagree with what AIPAC is lobbying for, but the focus on AIPAC, ignoring ACTUAL AMERICAN PROBLEMS, is a red flag that it is a way to be politically correct while spreading yhe idea that Jews, rather than your own bad decisions, are responsible for your life not being perfect.

Or, and this might be hard for you to wrap your head around, people mean what they say

Wrong! When I say Israel, I fucking mean Israel. Stop defending genocide by gaslighting critics of Netanyahu with bullshit “oh sure, blame the Jews!” Good lord. This is ridiculous.

Thank you for putting words in my mouth. AIPAC ≠ Israel ≠ Netanyahu ≠ people of Jewish faith ≠ people of Jewish descent That’s like saying apples are oranges because tomatoes are fruit. Sure they may be related to varying degrees, the VENN circles may overlap, but they are not the same.

They talked Trump into joining them in an insane unwinnable war with Iran, and does everything they can to keep it going. Millions will die because of this war (mostly because of the loss of fertilizer). Everyone except Trump and the Israeli government knew this would be the outcome.

I mean, he literally received money from Better Blue Fund which is an AIPAC linked org. If he doesn't want that money he could easily return it and clear that up. So no, when we say AIPAC we mean, AIPAC...

When goose-stepping Regressives,DemocRATS&Zio-Nazis claim victim-status while punching left, it tells us their propaganda is not working as well as it did prior to the most recent mass atrocities by the terrorist state of Israel.Your true flag, Shit-Weasel.

How do you know this is a "general" rule?

Not really, no.

go back to twitter man

if you don't know what else to say, that is good, because you should stop saying things

Sorry but I've seen and met and heard from enough anti-AIPAC Jewish people that you're never going to be able to convince me that Judaism, ethnically or theologically, is synonymous with genocide and apartheid. No matter how hard you try! Sorry.

No they don't.

By definition, social media does not support nuance or allow for multiple things to be true.

Oh okay if you say so

As a Leftist Jew, no, and honestly, fuck off.

You're wrong. Conflating Israel and Judaism is antisemitic. It is when they do it and it is when you do it.

You are an idiot

So what you would prefer is a cultural context in which people could genuinely not be antisemitic, and instead focus explicitly on the specific actions of the modern nation-state of Israel and its world-wide backers, criticizing the institutions without implicating the religion or ethnicity. Right?

Your head is full of rocks.

Wrong.

False

Charles, if you can’t be less lazily generalizing than this, I don’t know what to say.

Lol, Charles 🤡
