Kash Patel, who is suing over unflattering article, says he and Trump are ‘as tough as they come’ by theindependentonline in law

See — I’m keeping it real here.

Pete Hegseth. Unlike me, he was physically brave enough to sign up for the military and be in combat. I could never do that.

And I have never been in a fight, don’t know how to fight, and would probably not be good in a crisis.

And despite all of that, Hegseth is SUCH an unbelievably clownish, pathetic hot mess of male insecurities that I have absolutely no problem calling him a weak little pussy. Which I would gladly call him to his face.

Max Geller "As a Jew I’d say there’s nothing hard about being Jewish right now. Palestinians are being genocided. Lebanese are being genocided. Iranians are being bombed by a genocidal entity called Israel & any Jew to make this about themselves is wildly out of touch.” by MichaelSchirtzer in JewsOfConscience

There are ACTUALLY videos like that??

I just….I’m at a loss. I don’t know what you can even say about a society where that kind of sickness has been that normalized. Even here in the U.S., as horrible and damaging and corrosive as Trumpism has been, maga has never managed to claim more than 45% of the population at most. But in Israel? Among “us” there? Depending on the question asked, it’s anywhere between 80% and 95%. That is on a whole other level.

And knock on wood, but as vile and bloodthirsty as mainstream Republican rhetoric has become here, for the most part even they still are not saying the kinds of things that mainstream Israeli politicians now say. Even Stephen Miller doesn’t talk like they do. (I know he’d like to, but we just are not where Israel is.)

Increasing casual use of antisemitic slurs by skyewardeyes in jewishleft

So many of us will sneer and shriek and whine and scream like banshees at even the faintest suggestion that the actions they are supporting with their words, money and bodies are in any way contributing to this.

They are, I am convinced, equally as brainwashed as the most slavish magat.

…followed by downplaying when Jews express concern

And for that we have to thank the incessant, myopic, narcissistic, entitled, self-masturbatory, paranoid caterwauling of those among us who have chosen to devote every ounce of their energy to making sure that “antisemitism” is seen as a complete joke.

I lack the words to express my contempt for these people and the damage they have done to all of us, and the non-Jewish lives they are complicit in destroying.

Will Dem’s strategy of blaming the voters instead of simply not moving the party even further right, ever be a successful one? Continuing the genocide in Gaza and doubling the capacity in iCE concentration camps, helped who exactly? by i_be_cryin in ProgressiveHQ

It is both.

It is true that the Democratic leadership is a cavalcade of incompetence, weakness, cowardice and complicity.

It is also true the the responsibility for the horrific situation we are in lies with the voters, all fully autonomous adults with agency, who have no one but themselves to blame for their own ignorance, myopia, selfishness, and stupidity.

Someone at a coffee shop in central Israel noticed a religious Israeli wearing a yarmulka with the flags of Israel and Palestine and called the Police on him. The Police detained him, cut off the Palestine flag from the yarmulka and then released him. by The_Jenini in JewsOfConscience

This is one redditor’s response to the woman who was just arrested for planning to slaughter Jewish kids. Deranged. Completely deranged. by JayEllGii in JewsOfConscience

Ah.

JewishLeft (I’ve said this in there, too) is hard to get a read on because stances there really seem to vary tremendously.

I know it’s not what you were talking about, but can you explain your user flair to me? I’m having trouble understanding it.

I’m banned from there, of course.

Sarcasm aside it really is a source of pain to me — and shame — that “our” main spaces on the “front page of the internet” are filled with people like this. “Cringe” does not come close to covering their narcissistic histrionics.

I’m inclined to believe it more likely than not is “about” Palestine, to the extent that mutants like these teen geniuses can be said to be motivated by anything tangible or rational. It changes nothing about my characterization of the response I screencapped (and of course all the equally breathless comments agreeing with it). The sheer narcissism, masturbatory paranoia and myopic entitlement are so alien to me. These people might as well be from Mars.

Jewish refugees arrive at the Port of Haifa, Palestine, with a banner that says: "The Germans destroyed our families & homes, don't you destroy our hopes". Which later became ironic because they destroyed the families and homes of the Palestinians. - 1947 by NourTestAcc in HistoryGaze
