When you ask leftists how many Palestinians have died, they know the number by heart - 80,000, 2/3 of them civilians. When you ask them how many Ukrainians have died, they have no clue. Not even an order of magnitude. I guess some lives matter more than others to them.

James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner were murdered on June 21, 1964, by members of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan because of their civil rights activism, specifically their work registering Black citizens to vote in Mississippi. There will always be a #BlackandJewishAlliance

Pay attention- this is very important. Ukraine helps expose flaws in our system where a single person has life-and-death power over millions. It is also creating a record to bring those responsible for war crimes to justice. www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

This is as treasonous as it gets

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Let me get this straight. Trump is violating our laws to buy diesel from Russian. Thereby using US taxpayer money to fund Russia’s genocide in Ukraine? I hope you are outraged. I hope you are changing your bios to say “Slava Ukraine” 🇺🇦

Traitor

Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

Yet another example of how everything - including history - becomes distorted in service of Jew hate.

The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

Finally, an easy to understand explainer about the ever-so-volatile slogan

Kosherart@kosherart.bsky.social

Do we all agree on what he slogan Free Palestine” means? I took screenshots of an illustrated post by Jordyn Tilchen on Instagram explaining how it was designed to be vague & sow chaos by not having a 100% clear definition. Please read this through this thread & understand the manipulation at work.>

Here we have a leader of Hamas admitting that as the IDF has done all throughout this conflict. They gave advance warning of each and every strike. It cannot be ignored no child or any civilian for that matter had to die. They used them as shields during the attacks.

IDF killing 20,000 children cannot be ignored.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I saw this video and I just had to share it with you. She speaks so eloquently and it's just perfection. Seeing non-Jewish allies stand up for us, it really moves me these days.
