Got a mass automated text from a local political candidate for Congress yesterday:

“Blah, blah, blah… anti-semitism…blah, blah, blah join me in supporting Israel “

This from a self-described “conservative” candidate.

I replied that Israel could go perform an anatomically impossible act.

The reality these people live in is so far removed from mine, the idea of being represented in a representative government by them is laughable.

I don’t care about Israel, or The Ukraine, or Taiwan, or whatever. I would have tried to contact her campaign directly to let them know, but there’s only a donation button.

Haha, sorry, my money is all in Zelenskyy’s offshore accounts.

Well, how about a male "conservative" AMERICAN politician coming to the AMERICAN capitol to work, dressed in the military uniform of a hostile foreign aggressor? Does that count as "standing with Americans"???!!!

Only full throated support of Israel in however it prosecutes the war is acceptable? One cannot be a supporter of Israel as a nation and a people, but also critical of its government and its conduct during this war, no? Or am I an anti-Semite?

OK. They are smart enough to enroll in mostly Ivy League liberal arts undergrad studies programs but too dumb to know what they are protesting? ... IDTS. Some of these are add on simpleton collectivist online townies who can play dumb. Just know, IF they yell "I am Hamas" and an Israeli dual citizen refers their name to the JTTF list, they may end up with DHS bureaucratic herpes aka No Fly/ the Terror Watch List. https://sheilamdean.substack.com/p/warning-israel-can-add-us-hamas-supporters

Don't get mad at me. I DON'T MAKE THE CRAPPY ORWELLIAN LISTSERVE RULES. I just tell you what happens.

We know not ALL the protestors are sincere or are as radicalized as some of the communist backed US pro-palestine movements getting public endorsement by Hamas and Hezbollah. So if you're NOT sincere - do NOT SAY YOU ARE "HAMAS". Someone in Israel is way too ready to believe you. https://rumble.com/v4rkgi9-bill-of-rights-...-israels-netanyahu-calls-for-crackdown-on-american-protes.html

Observation FWIW: Columbia University - April 29th is last day of class. September 4th is first day of class.

Back in the Stone Age I started university in mid-September and school was over mid-June, three 10-week quarters. Looks like they've cut off 5-6 weeks, had to go to semesters. Shrinkflation rules.

More semesters = more money and less knowledge.

Well, it's clear to me that the assault on the sound values of the protestant anglosphere by immigrant non-assimilators is at the root of the fall of our 'unprotestable' republic. The 'unter grey matter' crowd has misinterpreted and mis-applied the Statue of Liberty's clarion call.😢

> Maybe so, to some extent, especially given increasing migration of peoples who don’t love that country. Change the populace, change the voting. (I am also in awe that people forget this.)

There's no need to be pessimistic about the summer hiatus. The D convention is only 16 or 17 weeks from now. There will be a huge amount of pent up demand for protest by August, and the kids who show up in Chicago will accumulate experiences to be retold as tales of action and adventure just a few weeks later on campus (assuming that they are allowed to return).

Meanwhile, every student will have a lot of free time to become enraged, if he or she so chooses, about the ZOG that [cough] doesn't exist. I suspect most campus protestors have not yet encountered the term. There could be a great many choatic debates and sit ins next fall as the kids struggle to unnderstand how things are and who the collaborators have been. How will they overcome their dissonance after learning that St. MLK, Jr., was a Zionist? And what pretzels will they twist their thoughts into upon learning that the State of Israel was established by secularists and communists who did not try to hide their plans for a "federation of the continents" and "Supreme Court of Mankind" in Jerusalem? (Quoting DBG here.) This could be the year during which Jewish supremacy is maimed in the USA.

Hamas is heavily supported by Iran. Have any of these college protesters looked in any way at the government of Iran? Here are a few quotes from Wikipedia.

"Iran's human rights record is exceptionally poor. The Iranian government is undemocratic, has frequently persecuted and arrested critics of the government. severely restricts the participation of candidates in elections and political activities. Sexual activity between members of the same sex is illegal and is punishable by death."

"A group of UN experts in 2022 urged Iran to stop "systematic persecution" of religious minorities, adding that members of the Bahá'i Faith were arrested, barred from universities, or had their homes demolished."

"During the late 20th and early 21st centuries in Iran, women's rights have been severely restricted, compared with those in most developed nations. The World Economic Forum's 2017 Global Gender Gap Report ranked Iran 140, out of 144 countries, for gender parity."

"(In 1962) a law that gave women limited voting rights, allowing them to vote in local elections, was passed. Khomeini believed that such power for women was comparable to prostitution. Khomeini led protests about women's voting rights that resulted in the repeal of the law."

So, Iran heavily supports Hamas?

Well, how about, Israel CREATED Hamas?

"General Segev himself even admits to funding Hamas himself with Israeli taxpayers money that was later used to kill the same people who were funding them. "

Finally, someone who’s not afraid to mention the truth!

This whole thing is another false flag event meant to stir up the world into choosing up sides…..

And it’s working perfectly.

The objective is for both sides to kill each other off and then crush the world’s remaining survivors under the boot heel of a tyranny that’s never been seen before, but has been planned for over 100 years.

Does Israel execute gays? Does Israel deny the vote to women because it’s prostitution? You are incredible.

Thanks! I live for compliments!

Who gives a shit if Israel/Iran executes gays? What does that have to do with the USA?

Israel/Iran denies the vote to women? How does that affect the USA?

Your point was that Iran "supports" Hamas.

Israel CREATED Hamas.

If Hamas is bad because Iran supports them, are they good because Israel created them?

Sort of negates your projection of moral superiority, no?

We should have nothing to do with any of those involved in millienia-old ethno-religious regional conflicts. No money, no weapons, no support, no fighting their wars.

They want to incite their neighbors, let 'em deal with the consequences.

The sooner it's all settled, the better. Until then, American money, ships, troops need to come home.

No, but isreal has more sex offenders per capital than any other country in the world. And as a gay man the so called “ community” has DE-volved from a civil rights movement into one of sexual proclivities. “ pride parades” have become nothing more than an open air bathhouse, and they wonder why the entire world is forming mobs and draconian laws against us! Everything my generation ,and those before me , that we have fought and DIED for is being pissed away by a bunch of spoiled self centered shitheads who can only think of instant gratification instead of what their words and actions are doing as a whole.

But I’m sure that you as an all knowing bleeding heart liberal has the latest catch phrase du jour ready to go don’t you?
