I love the idea they added "tax free." Like receiving 1 billion after taxes is so diminished.

Hamas are obviously disgusting people who kill and terrorize civilians to advance their political goals. Just like Netanyahu and his supporters. "I oppose the killing of innocent people by both sides" is the only sane position.

A Satmar Jew left Israel, refusing to live as a settler, and moved to New York where he regularly attended rallies in support of the Palestinian struggle. Now Trump wants to deport him back to Israel for opposing Zionism. nytimes.com/2026/09/30/nyreg…

When you say "the only remaining support in the Democratic Party" do you mean the only remaining zionists or only remaining jews? Because as a jew I think lots of us support Israel existing, but not being pro-settler or pro-ethnic cleansing like Netanyahu's government is.

CNN: “Israel’s favorability all negative — not just with Dems, the general electorate has turned against Israel… not just a left issue, an American issue… a SIXTY-SEVEN POINT SHIFT AGAINST ISRAEL…”

Is there a reason you're mentioning this while posting a pic of Allison Williams? I've been search for context for about 5 minutes and I can't figure out what it relates to.

Please post the offensive parts, thanks. Just complaining without providing even a quote in text isn't particularly convincing.

Right exactly - you claim any criticism of Israel must be bigotry against Jews. But you also claim it is unfair to point out Israel's actions drive up antisemitism. When it suits you, you generalize Israel to mean jews. When it doesn't, you denounce it. Typical dishonest 2-step.

I'm Jewish, Israel is a democracy, and democracies require criticism. You're taking the pro-fascist side insisting all criticism must be illegitimate. When leaders in Israel brag openly about their genocidal intent, it's not antisemitic to point that out.

"I don't want my tour to be defined by what political messages billionaires are comfortable with" is an extremely easy third route for him. Cancel the tour on free speech grounds and walk away.

The Netanyahu government is committing atrocities while claiming to speak on behalf of Jews everywhere. Anyone who criticizes them publicly for the war effort is denounced as antisemitic. This lobby is responsible for blurring the line between criticism and antisemitism.

Have you considered the possibility that Netanyahu's ministers like Ben-Gvir bragging openly about their intent to commit genocide is actually doing far more to promote antisemitism around the world than Hasan Piker or Macklemore?

You started by saying "ideas and art can't be stolen." When I pointed out that's categorically untrue you asked for me to disagree with a totally separate point without addressing what I said. Which is to say, we've already demonstrated how silly your views are. Have a good one.

Glad you've dispensed with your nonsensical "art and ideas are free" argument. Because the AI companies say they can't afford to pay for all the copyrights they violated, an open source public option feels like the absolute least to ask.

He gave a speech opposing the Iraq war when most Democrats supported it. He also spent years as a State Senator in Illinois before joining the Senate.

Do me a favor: release a monetized song that samples a major artist prominently, and when they sue you for copyright infringement tell them ideas and art can't be stolen. See how far that gets you in court.

I mean, these companies literally couldn't exist without having stolen the collective works of art and literature that society produced. Of course they should pay for that, including through public open source versions being available.

It would be great if people who supported the war in Gaza just called themselves Netanyahu supporters or supporters of the war in Gaza. The effort to reframe them as "Israel" supporters is wildly dishonest and allows these rhetorical tricks to reframe criticism as antisemitism.
