It is profoundly telling that we even need a term like "Zionism" to describe such a basic right.
The absurdity becomes even more apparent when considering that the United Nations established Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people, in coexistence with Arabs and other residents of the region, in 1948.
The necessity for a specific term to defend the Jewish people's right to their own homeland underscores the unique and persistent challenges we face.
The spread of antisemitism through lies and false narratives not only distorts the truth but also undermines the legitimate and historical connection of the Jewish people to the land previously called Palestine and before that Judea and Samaria.
All these acts of blunt hate towards Jewish people in the past year stress is the need for us to have our own country and army...
Because clearly, no country seems too eager to protect us.
@otownKim I’ll be watching on my own tonight. Hubby has the reaction you just described, and mother is too terrified to watch. @tomiahonen
@tultican It needs to be a big deal.

@FrankFrank Yes. Can you imagine how much a better place the world would havce been if for 8 years we had Al Gore instead of W and his puppet master Cheney. The CLIMATE... Al Gore's personal mission. An Obama-class Paris climate accord signed a DECADE earlier? And no stupid fake pretense Iraq war, that unleashed ISIS and the whole refugee nightmare in Europe (and resulting resurgence of Nazism). That 2000 decision is still echoing today...
Bonsitu Kitaba, deputy #legal dir for the #ACLU of #Michigan, argued MI's ban on #Medicaid coverage for #abortion creates a "two-tiered system" between those who can afford #private #HealthInsurance for terminating a pregnancy & those who cannot. The deprivation, Kitaba said, infringes on the fundamental right to #ReproductiveFreedom & is #discriminatory since Medicaid covers #childbirth but not abortion.

@GreenFire Interesting philosophical question. @TruthSandwich @MaryAustinBooks @stevebenen
In North Carolina, it is my "divine" right to carry a firearm to protect against the teeny-tiny chance that someone will try to physically attack me or try to take my stuff.
But it is a CRIME for me to wear a harmless mask to protect against the ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH chance that I will inhale a wildly contagious and physically harmful virus that is likely to result in as much or more financial and physical harm over the course of my life.
A hearty Fuck You to anyone supporting a mask ban.

Trump pocket judge Loose Cannon: Come On Aileen is of course trying her best to help her boss, Trump. But Jack Smith has not lost ONCE to her. She is afraid of the third spanking, and keeps SLOWLY making rulings that are correct

@ryanhoulihan That’s odd then that they still use it as a name.
@ryanhoulihan Haven’t heard anything about or from them in years. I don’t even remember what the acronym stands for, and don’t see it on their website.

@DavidCorn Ridicule is a great weapon when wielded properly.
It won't take much to get under his skin. Just chuckle and shake his head dismissively a couple of times and it'll drive Trump crazy. Make too direct an attack and Trump will feed off it.
