I've tried to deactivate & it won't let me. I've tried staying away b/c of how stressful it is to be confronted by horrors I can't do anything about but tweet. I might just take breaks from time to time when I find this place too much. (Sorry if I sound dramatic, don't mean to).
I'm a non-Jewish woman and the silence from people who've claimed to care about rape victims is beyond sickening and disgusting. They can never again consider themselves good or decent people.

If "both parties are the same", and "it doesn't matter who's in power", then why don't leftists just vote for Dems and stop making a big production of the whole thing.

@eclecticbrotha
It's a protest organized in AMERICA by an AMERICAN political org. to specifically protest an African-American legislator. They *need* to pick a different symbol, outside the U.S. it *may* not be racist, but here it is.
@D3andB
Her arguments don't even make sense. CRM and BLM protests were protests made by a ppl protesting their own current state of injustice. The pro-pali protests are ppl getting involved in a decades long issue thousands of miles away. They're not comparable. Hillary is always right.

@lakecounty1975
Genocide's definition is not fighting a war, but it does include *intent* which is why Hamas is a genocidal org. Also, lol "no one is telling Jews to get out?" Tell it to this guy, then.
@citizengatsby
And this is precisely why I'm hesitant to follow folks back. I've seen a lot of her tweets & agreed w/ them, but never followed; wanted to wait and see.
@Jay_McGill94
Samuel Leibowitz defended the Scottsboro boys, nine AA teens falsely accused of rape & sentenced to death in Alabama in 1931. The case dragged on for almost a decade.
Also, many Jews were involved in the abolitionist movt. & Touro Synagogue was a stop on the underground RR.
@tiff4mahogany
Oh without a doubt. Black women are the biggest obstacle to Russian disinfo. Y'all never fall for it, in fact you tend to be the first one's blowing the whistle. America's truest patriots. 🫡🇺🇸
The tiktok crowd needs to face the fact that they're just as hooked by curated outrage bait as their fox news viewing relatives that they roll their eyes at. 🤷♀️
@songsofyoni
I'm going to be spending the rest of my life crying & indescribably angry over this. I cannot believe the deafening silence from too many.
May the IDF finish what before it was not allowed to finish.
@ROZEPOP
If your "cause" depends on the bullying, degrading, and dismissing crimes perpetrated against a Jewish woman than you don't have a cause, you're just an antisemite trying to find a socially acceptable outlet for it.
@mistergeezy
Leibowitz defended the Scottsboro boys-9 AA teens falsely accused of rape & sentenced to death in AL-'31.
Cohen was the attorney who defended Loving in Loving vs Virginia.
American Jews were heavily involved in abolition movt including Synagogues as stops on the underground RR.
@charles_gaba
Yep. I'm gonna need smug condescending men (not you obv.) to stop smugly opining on the state of women's repo rights when all they ever do is tell us we're overreacting.
I love how facts & history go out the window when it comes to discussions of 🇮🇱. An enormous effort is being made to paint 🇮🇱 as the most vicious imaginable to downplay what Hamas *is* & what Hamas *did* on 10/7 & since. It's sickening. 🇮🇱 & Hamas aren't morally equivalent ffs.
If you need to keep claiming that your movement is supported by Jews and there's totally so many Jews involved, then you know that your movement is deeply antisemitic. You're not fooling anyone.
@ShawnFainUAW
@UAW
So Israel isn't allowed to defend itself, according to you. When Hamas breaks every ceasefire why must Israel be expected to just take it? Have all the hostages been recovered? Antisemite!
Nope. The "pro-pali" movement was always an effort to spread Arab supremacist support under the guise of social justice, or whatever the latest trend in the west happens to be by capitalizing on people's latent antisemitism. Launder antisemitic conspiracies-Jews as ultimate evil.
But she's not entitled to a platform. Also, posts that have surfaced show a history of violent antisemitic comments. It would be naive to assume she would show restraint when afforded such a public platform.
@estherzelda0514
She should be allowed to speak. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. As long as it doesn’t encourage violence. She might have some good ideas.
I'll never forget about those German tourists in an Israeli rental car that accidentally wound up in the WB & were violently attacked by Palis. They keep screaming "we're not Jews" to get them to stop...the world knows what Israel is dealing w/ it just expects it to put up w/ it.
@tiff4mahogany
Really gives away how genuine their 'concern' is. If you can't advocate for people w/out resorting to racism, then you're no advocate just a bigot looking to justify targeted harassment.
I'm so sorry.
How many more times do we have to go down this road before ppl stop allowing themselves to be led down it?
-🇮🇱 launches a strike or counterstrike
-Social media becomes awash in outrage
-Then it's revealed that the damage wasn't much, not many were killed & it's b/c of Hamas.
I forget who it was who brought up this point, but it's a good one. If, numerically, the majority of Zionists are Evangelical Christians, then why aren't these 'anti-Zionist' 'protesters' protesting at their churches & businesses? 🤔🧐
@ok_post_guy
I'm so glad the press is working to destroy our democracy over something important. Wouldn't want all of their effort to be over something frivolous. /s
@DemsInArray
They say this while living in a country that protects their right to criticize and protest all while attending one of the most expensive private schools in the country. 🙄
@saladshooter9
That is the role the Christian world has assigned for Jews since its inception. Martyrs for *their* sins which is why they get confused and pissed when Jews don't want to die quietly. Like Golda Meir said: "The world hates a Jew who hits back..."
The in your face gaslighting is astounding. A Jewish man was killed at a protest, a Jewish woman in France was stabbed to death, I could keep going. Not to mention the vandalism of Jewish businesses & Synagogues, the attacks on Jewish students & teachers. Nazis always lie!
Is there a single Jewish person who has been physically attacked in any one of the thousands of demonstrations that took place globally since the genocide began, with many millions attending? Is there one Jewish student of faculty member who has been attacked at any university?
@m8tis_seb
Yes, when the Romans conquered Judea & ruled over the native Jewish pop. they renamed it to Syria-Palestina. After the fall of Rome, various groups asserted control over the area & people w/ the Brits winning it w/ the fall of the Ottomans & resurrecting the Roman name.
@HeidiBachram
I'm so terribly sorry. It's such an indescribable nightmare. I've watched footage as I felt I must bear witness (not that I would ever doubt what happened & what witnesses report), but I haven't been sleeping much at all since 10/7.
I wish I could be of some use.
Bullshit. The same UN that knew about Hamas terror infrastructure for yrs in UN schools and hospitals and did nothing! It didn't take 80yrs to rebuild Europe, this is just another grift.
@SiaKordestani
Absolutely disgusting and reprehensible behavior. I want to see them all arrested. Defacing a cemetery of those who've died for this country needs to come with a hefty prison sentence.
Democracies support democracies 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇱
Am I way off base in thinking that a lot of western support for authoritarian regimes like Iran and Gaza, aside from antisemitism, comes from a vicarious pleasure in seeing others suffer? Possibly why it's so pop. w/ women; sublimated desire for violence into joy of witnessing it
They literally turned uninhabitable (unwanted) desert into a paradise. Malaria infested swamps become thriving beautiful cities. And the Arab world has been seething ever since, they didn't care about it until Jews made it a beautiful place to live.
@BFriedmanDC
Hamas has had ample time to get civilians out of harms way yet doesn't. This could end tomorrow if Hamas surrendered and returned the hostages.
I can't take the opposition to Israel's war seriously when even before Israel launched operations in Gaza people were making claims of genocide & war crimes. 🤷♀️
I just want to say that while I love the public outpourings of love Hillary Clinton is receiving at public venues, it's very bittersweet to me. Where was this love when she was running? Just goes to prove this country will love a woman as long as she isn't a power threat.
@Jack_Petocz
Get over yourself! Fighting a terrorist organization is not genocide, if you're getting your talking points and politics from people as antisemitic & ill-informed as you on twitter than you shouldn't be a "deputy executive director" whatever the fuck bs that means.
