The first words of the national anthems of Russia and its three northwestern neighbors constitute a short but comprehensive history of the region.

Last week, the executive branch of the US government loudly and clearly declared Trump’s intention to radically remake America into a carbon copy of his favorite nation on Earth - Putin’s Russia.
And hadrly anybody has uttered a word of surprise or protest.

Two years ago today, 1195 people were murdered in cold blood for being Jews.
Much of the world, including a great majority of people in the US academia reacted by drawing the conclusion that Jews must be denied their country and resettled back in Russia, Brooklyn or Auschwitz.

The Manchester attack is exactly what globalizing the Intifada looks like.
Words have meanings. You can't redefine them as it suits you.
Globalizing the Intifada means killing Jews everywhere. From the river to the sea means killing Jews in Israel.
If you chant these things, you are pro-genocide.

So many American Catholics (who, as always, love their politics more than their religion) are condemning the Pope for his opposition to the death penalty by quoting the Old Testament.
Which makes me wonder: boychiks, do you actually want to be Jews now?

It's not surprising that GOP tries to torpedo any legislation that benefits poor Americans by blatantly lying that it's "money for illegals". But it's quite telling that, in GOP's (correct) opinion, US voters would rather have their benefits cut than give anything to foreigners.

When Obama became president, he stood on his knees and tore his signature reform to shreds trying to get a single GOP vote.
When MAGA gets power, it laughs and swings for the fences.
I fucking hope President AOC or whoever bans all guns and passes Medicare for All within the first 5 months.

The people of this nation are sure willing to eat a lot of shit to make the lives of billionaires just a tad more luxurious and detached from their own, and this is just a part of the Mysterious American Soul that I simply can't understand, so sorry.

Ah, this is good. Of course, progressives hate him for some absolutely unexplainable reason which probably rhymes with "crew" , "chew" or "stew"

Yeah, I know, and the swastika can be an ancient Hindu symbol, and the word "Heil" is just a greeting.
The slogan "Globalize the intifada" means one thing only: attack and harass "Zionists" everywhere. Whatever apologists say.

Can we have a Muslim politician who doesn't want to globalize the intifada? Like, it's not a thing he wants to do, maybe? Not globalizing it. Can we?

Yeah, getting globalized is very nice for Jews. Silly us for not knowing this.

Tell me who is forcing you to suffer a bothersome Jew and I will report them myself.

Is it too much to ask for a charismatic, young, very progressive, likeable Democratic politician who is not really, really into crushing Zionism and globalizing the intifada?

As a member of the Democratic Party, I first want to hear his suggestions for how exactly he is planning to globalize the intifada. Will we, Jews, be globalized centrally or have to report to our local globalization centers?

The day after Zohran Mamdani rocked the nation’s largest city by becoming the presumptive Democratic mayoral nominee, New York’s political leaders declined to formally endorse him, and some donors to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo considered coalescing behind Mayor Eric Adams.

As Donors Work Against Mamdani, Top Democrats Stop Short of Backing Him

After Zohran Mamdani’s performance in the New York City mayoral primary, Republicans and suburban Democrats attacked him, and party leaders seemed to be hedging their bets.

At some point, humanity will realize that religion is an objective evil and every single regime that derives its legitimacy from religion is always, always, without any exception, an evil one.
Of course, by then, humanity may well be destroyed. By religion.

I am happy that the world is (re)discovering how little it actually cares about bombed hospitals, thanks to their being full of Jews.

It really is amazing how absolutely everyone who has made it their life's work to crush Zionism and throw "white European colonizers" into the Mediterranean has met with uniformly the same fate.
One could almost write a Harvard thesis on this.
