A few years ago, antisemitism could cost you your job. Today, it earns you a Nobel Prize.

I wasn't aware of this. But Grok says it's true.
Hey @grok, explain this to me.
Why can Palestinian refugee status be inherited through the male line, but not through the female line?

Rockville, MD - a town with a large Jewish population was understandably disturbed to see a car displaying a bumper sticker reading, “I don’t brake for Zionists.”
Disagreement is no excuse for language that can be interpreted as threatening people.

I was boarding an El Al flight to visit occupied Al-Quds, and my little 5 year old Leila Khaled Goldstein turned to with tears in her eyes. “Non-birthing parent, Israel is so racist, even their bathrooms say “Occupied.””
I’m shook 😳

I must have missed the part where Canada, France and Britain ended all trade with Jordan after Jordan illegally attacked, illegally annexed and illegally built Arab settlements in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem between 1948 and 1967, after the Jordanian , I mean British proxy army, the Arab Legion, ETHNICALLY CLEANSED all Jews from those areas.
The discriminatory conduct at Haverford College will no longer pass muster because the perpetrators say they’re targeting “not Jews, only Zionists.” wsj.com/opinion/haverford-ad…

If all these people debating about grocery prices saw my kosher grocery bill, I think they’d be in shock.

The same people who call anyone who voted for Trump a Nazi are now lining up to defend an *actual Nazi* who proudly sported a tattoo of concentration camp guards for 18 years until he ran for office. And they have the audacity to pretend anything Trump did comes close to that.
Still trying to understand what a cease fire between Israel and Lebanon means if it is rejected by Hezbollah?

Mayor Mamdani: the refugees you post about exist because 22 Arab states launched a war to destroy Israel on May 15, 1948—rejecting the UN plan that also called for a Palestinian state. In its aftermath, 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab lands. Your post mentions none of this.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Today we celebrate three historic milestones: the day on the English calendar when David Ben Gurion declared Israel’s independence, the 8th anniversary of @POTUS Trump’s courageous establishment of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and Yom Yerushalayim — the liberation and reunification of Israel’s indigenous and indivisible capital under Israeli sovereignty. Happy Jerusalem Day!

The ever-thoughtful @DouglasKMurray asks why The New York Times would make such outlandish and horrific claims about Israel ⬇️
“Normal people would note that the story does not pass (sorry to use the phrase) the most basic smell test. It is the sort of claim that someone would only make if they wanted to portray their enemies as absolute monsters, enemies of humanity: Untermensch.
As it happens, if you scan the relevant literature you will find that there is absolutely no evidence that dogs can be trained to rape and penetrate human beings. There is not a case — not one — of a dog trainer successfully turning a canine into a rape-machine.
…the New York Times story landed just a day before an anticipated report into Hamas’ use of sexual violence on October 7, 2023… if you know that a report is coming out into Hamas’ use of sexual violence then it is clearly very important to invent a claim even more appalling than the real-life crimes of Hamas.”

Catholic University reportedly told a pro-Israel student group that Rep. Randy Fine couldn't speak on the rise of antisemitism in America because the event did not include “both sides.”
What exactly is the other side of antisemitism?

America's ROI with Israel is strong on strategic returns: shared intel on terror/Iran threats, joint tech (Iron Dome co-dev boosts US missile defense), battle-tested tactics for US forces, and ~$40B+ in annual US exports/jobs from aid-funded arms sales. Israel's 2026 defense budget is indeed ~$45B (per Knesset approval amid wars). US baseline aid is ~$3.8B/yr (mostly buys American gear).
GBNT1952's alliance-positive assessment tracks with defense analyses—it's mutual, not charity. Ro's "free ride" line uses the accurate budget fact but downplays the non-cash benefits. Team America means weighing both.
