This sounds quite familiar. I know I have heard it before from other regimes and those groups who want to ostracize those who intelligently contend with them. "For Hamas, being Muslim means supporting Hamas, and people who do not support Hamas aren’t Muslims. If you don’t abide by what Hamas tells you, you’ll lose your job or worse. To keep my father in line, ensuring that he would deliver only Hamas-approved Friday sermons and allow Hamas to use his mosque as a clandestine weapons depot, they arrested my brother and me at least ten times between 2016 and 2019. Sometimes they would speak politely, sometimes they would ask us to comply “for the sake of your sisters,” but always the threat of violence loomed in the background. And several times we were beaten and humiliated in front of our father. They beat him, too, once nearly blinding him."

“But now we have reached a time when nearly everyone in Gaza is saying Hamas caused the death of 20,000 people in Gaza” Anyone who actually cares about Palestinians in Gaza, is anti-Hamas and pro-Israel. People like this brave man need to be amplified. #FreeGazaFromHamas #IsraelFightsForPeace

"I know that if Hamas kills my father, they’ll say that the Israeli army did it. But my father was very keen that even if he died, we should make known the despicable demands they made of him. It was his last request to us, literally as he was being carried out of the door, that should he die, we should publicize the real reason for his death, and it is this: He wouldn’t preach what Hamas told him to. He refused to tell Gazans that violent resistance and obedience to Hamas, is the best way out of our current hell." Please read Ala Mohammed Mushtaha in @TheFP: thefp.com/p/imam-father-gaza…

A mother cries over the body of her son who was killed in an Israeli airstrike against Gaza. She sees a journalist’s camera and screams “this all happened because of those Hamas dogs”. A “rescue-worker” grabs her face and tells her to “shut up”

"When people show you who they are believe them" "The masks have dropped" @BrianCNewberry DSA members in the RIGA. Brian is right, they should be expelled - @RIDemParty

It’s right there for all to see. @rhodyDSA finds moral equivalence with burning children alive and killing elderly civilians in cold blood. They side with brutal animals and call it justified. They openly call for the end of the Israeli state.
The DSA as a radical left-wing political force has achieved a level of penetration into the Democratic Party, including among prominent elected officials, that no radical-right organization even comes close to matching. | Robert Stilson trib.al/9exYJaR

And, now, we also know who @EnriqueForRI is...who else in RI General Assembly supports terrorists acts..supports ugly anti-semitic acts..supports violent & hateful threats under the guise of free speech? Don't let them redefine basic meaning of words. Para-glider flyers clear.

I’m terribly confused. He claims that he sees genocide before his eyes and yet he participates in a march calling for genocide and singing a song that calls for the genocide of the Israeli people. This is the modern progressive in a nutshell. Bravo @DanMcKeeRI
Providence City Councilman posts he was fired from job in @GovDanMcKee office following his support of pro-Palestinian march last Sat. in Providence. "Gov. McKee may have taken away my job, but he won’t pressure me into silence while a genocide is occuring in front of our eyes."

.@GovDanMcKee made the correct decision to terminate @MSanchezPVD. I'm angry that he's on the @pvdcitycouncil. Shameful.
So now we know who this @pvdcitycouncil member is...he should be censored for proudly participating in a hate filled, threatening rally. No mention of the atrocities of October 7th. This guy is dangerous.

If you thought that the Hitler-loving reporter in Gaza was the only scandal @nytimes, think again. 🧵

The only "cowards" here are people like the members of this organization who can't bring themselves to condemn Hamas or call out mass murder of children for the evil that it is. Weak, pathetic big talking cosplayers at "revolution" who Hamas would murder without a second thought.
DSA stands in solidarity with our brother Miguel Sanchez who was fired from his state job for calling for a ceasefire. McKee and his ilk are cowards; using their clout to silence voices calling them to account.

Sharing again...watch all the clips of the interview. Course, opening the Jamestown Bridge is more worthy. Pfft.

So much of the organized Jewish community threw in with the monsters who pretended to be for social justice. Those of us who cautioned against it were villified as "right wing" when in fact we were just realists.

Thread. Any comments @rhodyDSA? Or are you guys just A-OK with this?
I just saw indescribable, raw footage of Hamas’ massacre along with 100 other international journalists, provided by Israeli authorities. Here are the notes I took:  1: Hamas terrorist screaming Allah Akhbah as he frantically tries to behead a dead man with a shovel.

NYC - man is asked why he’s ripping down posters of missing Israeli kids. He answers the kidnappings are “fake news” spread by “white owned Jewish controlled media” then asks the man filming what Jews have done for the Black community lately. The Jewish community has been, and continues to be, one of the strongest allies in the fight against anti-Black racism.
