Actually, this is a classic anti-Zionist lie. With the rare exception of rare specific trips sponsored by religious nationalist groups, which you wouldn’t find yourself on by accident, birthright trips don’t go anywhere where they might see a checkpoint. And if they did, I guarantee you given security concerns, they aren’t having the kids wander around checkpoints talking to soldiers manning thr checkpoint. If you’ve ever actually seen Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank, you know that this story is completely ridiculous.
Classic anti-Zionist origin story

Hey @FBI, if this guy is admitting to criminal vandalism with a side of ethnic intimidation, what other crimes might he be involved in?

This one’s new to me. He didn’t just shout free Palestine. He did it in the sing song that you heard at rallies around the country... The American Hamasniks have blood on their hands.
“The suspect accused of k*lling Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.,” screams “Free Palestine,” as he’s taken away in cuffs by Police…

Can anyone explain what this means, form the Post article: "Not all of the undisclosed deaths are directly tied to the conflict but have involved U.S. personnel who were in the Middle East amid ongoing hostilities, this person said."
💈The Washington Post reports on the Trump administration covering up how many US troops have been killed in the Iran war. “More American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed, according to 6 U.S. officials familiar with the Defense Dept’s internal casualty accounting data.”

Since @ntyimes' post-Oct 7 bias has been in the news, has more evidence of said bias. The Times has had umpteen articles about far-left "antizionist" Jews. Searching its archives, it has never once talked about "October 8th Jews"--"Jewish individuals whose connection to their identity, community, and Israel intensified immediately following the October 7, 2023." This is a well-recognized phenomenon in the Jewish community, and I personally know several October 8th Jews who had previously been entirely unconnected to Jewish life and Israel.

And while everyone who comes under the law of return is Jewish in some way, to suggest that the Russian, Polish, Indian, Yemenite, Moroccan, Iranian, German, South African, Iraqi, Kurdish, Ethiopian etc etc Jews who make up Israeli's population were one ethnically, racially, and culturally homogenous group is to show a profound ignorance.
Also, 1) 10 million people is the entire population of Israel. Nobody's talking about letting in 335 million people here overnight. 2) Other countries aren't America. They're built on a different basis. Hungarians or Israelis or whoever are allowed to pursue different policies than ours. 3) Israel's very specific situation is that it is the *only* Jewish nation, it's surrounded by neighbors that have purged their entire Jewish populations, & by polities that vow & chant for the destruction of its existing state & people.

Dear fellow Jews; the legal system in heavily blue jurisdictions won’t protect you. Act accordingly,

You would think this would have to be fake, but nope, here is "Zionist" Norman Finkelstein's profile: reversecanarymission.org/per…
Many in the the " Pro Palestine" movement created a website similar to the Canary Mission that was previously created by Pro Israel groups which target Antisemites and Anztizionists ( which can go too far), They could not come up with name but "Reverse Canary Mission" and their mission is "Holding Zionists accountable for their support of Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine" Below example of these zionists, I could not stop laughing.

But according to my X feed, it's the Chief Rabbi objecting to the UK trying to sanction Jews living in Jerusalem that's the real problem with the UK's religious leadership.

Coincidentally, I was just talking to a retired US intelligence official who mentioned that it would be shocking/gross negligence if the US and Israel weren't trying for the past eight months to get weapons into the hands of Iranian dissenters. Hmm.
BREAKING: Clashes between are unfolding between armed Iranians and IRGC forces in Iran.

Claire Valdez was born in Texas, and is running for Congress in NYC. This is just bizarre, and a gift for Republicans in their quest to portray Democrats running for Congress as unpatriotic and extremist.

And they likely appear on Hamas's list of Gazans killed by Israel...
Replying to @chalavyishmael
Motaz says Hamas killed Uday al-Ruba’i over his Facebook posts and shot Ziad Abu Hayya in the head after he said: “May God punish Hamas. Save us from Hamas.” Did Motaz ever talk about this before? Not that I can find. 9/

Also of course. There is no independent journalism in a viciously authoritarian regime. The fact that so many Western outlets pretended otherwise is shameful.
Replying to @chalavyishmael
Motaz deliberately ignored Palestinians’ anger at Hamas and focused only on Israel. He also admits Gaza journalists worked with Hamas, while reporting that did not align with Hamas could make you “disappear behind the sun.” The West called this independent journalism. 8/

Of course.
Replying to @chalavyishmael
Motaz then admits that all the images coming out of Gaza were controlled. When Palestinians blamed Hamas, journalists lowered their cameras. During live broadcasts, people rushed to cover it up. Anyone who challenged Hamas could be framed, beaten or assaulted. 7/

No Jews, no news.
Replying to @immutbl
In 2024 the world published over 2x as many stories about Israel as about all 48 countries of sub-Saharan Africa combined — 1.3 billion people. Per conflict death in 2022, it discussed Israel ~10,000x more than Ethiopia’s Tigray war, the deadliest war of the decade.

I wonder what changed between 2019, when Bibi (and the Israeli public) was willing to countenance a Palestinian, and today? I have a vague feeling it might have been the massacre of Oct. 7 emanating from what was a de facto Palestinian state, and the fact that the massacre received the overwhelming support of Palestinians in the West Bank, and the public opposition of virtually none.
Israel now fully controls 92% of Israel-Palestine. While Prime Minister Netanyahu had previously negotiated based on the possibility of some type of future Palestinian state, this government now claims all the land of Israel-Palestine and is aggressively implementing a comprehensive, systematic plan to realize its vision of a Greater Israel. The surprising part is how close they have already come. Maps produced by J Street Policy Fellow Frank Lowenstein and Policy Assistant Liam Hamama – recently featured in The New Yorker – show how Israel today fully controls approximately 92% of Israel-Palestine, while the population of Jews and non-Jews is split 50/50. 1/3
