Let’s shut this down right now: No one is being charged for eating bacon. They’re being charged because they hunted down students in prayer, surrounded them, threatened them, and livestreamed the whole assault. If your defense is “but bacon”… you don’t have a defense. (thread) #USFMuslimStudents #USF11 #Tampa @USouthFlorida
🚨BREAKING: Several men now face FELONY charges for taunting Muslims during prayer with BACON at the University of South Florida. WTF? Why are the Muslims getting special treatment? Last I checked we still have free speech in this country. America is a Christian nation!

Like @SenFettermanPA , @HaleyforMI is more loyal to AIPAC and Israel than her own party @TheDemocrats
Wow — a protester yells “Haley Stevens is a traitor!” and Stevens then wraps up her news conference with Mike Rogers in a hurry

Pro-Israel Democrats like @HaleyforMI would rather help a pro-Israel Republican like @MikeRogersForMI win than let a progressive, anti-Epstein-class, anti-genocide Democrat like @AbdulElSayed win, just because he happens to be Muslim.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

Typical Israeli young voter who's obviously indigenous to the land discusses the situation outside a rally for Itamar Ben Gvir Ben Gvir's "Jewish Power" party will gain seats in Tuesday's election thanks to youth voters

It’s actually Ted Cruz’s foreign policies and unflinching commitment to Israel’s government that’s endangering US service members.
I believe Abdul El-Sayed is Muslim Brotherhood. If he were to win, Chuck Schumer could place him on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He would have access to the very highest level of classified materials. There would be an unacceptably high risk that the lives of American servicemen and women would be endangered, because there’s every reason to believe El-Sayed would share that classified information with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.

The @AP calls the violent and sometimes fatal Israeli settler attacks on defenseless Palestinians “interrupted”.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

"The enemy is Gaza, not Hamas.” Speaking to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin said that the entire population in Gaza, children, are the “enemy”, while framing total forced expulsion, permanent annexation, and settlement in Gaza as a moral obligation

This endless destruction is why Netanyahu does not allow journalists into Gaza. If he actually believed that Israeli had shown great restraint and that public perceptions were mistaken, we'd all be invited in with cameras. But Bibi doesn't want the devastation documented or the survivors interviewed.
Google Earth updated the images of Gaza. It's devastating.

Wow! We are now starting to see the repercussions of the revelations that Netanyahu knew about intelligence of a pending Hamas attack weeks before Oct 7 but chose not only to do nothing, but also not to share the intel with Israeli intelligence services. Now, the father of one of the Israelis killed at the NOVA Festival accuses one of Netanyahu's ministers - Miri Regev - of rescuing her own daughter at 4.45am on Oct 7 while leaving everyone else there to die. The official story is that Netanyahu didn't know about the attack until 6:29 that morning. Yet one of his ministers pulled her daughter out of the festival at 4.45am...

In a video shared online, an Israeli delegation member appears to be taking note of the country envoys that walked out of the UN's General Assembly as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his speech.

Billionaire New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft wants you to know he has spent “decades” supporting the Palestinian people. But The Intercept dug into his claim and found that he actually has spent years donating to.... Friends of the IDF and AIPAC? Kraft has also given money to a host of pro-Israel advocacy groups that attack critics of Israel, spread content that critics warn is Islamophobic, and have steadfastly defended Israel against mounting evidence of its ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. buff.ly/8O73VZZ

Laura Loomer wishing "maybe we need another 9/11." I wonder how many GOP, Maga and establishment Dems will go after her like they went after @hasanthehun
Racist anti-Muslim Trump advisor Laura Loomer: “Maybe we need another 9/11.” 😕 Where is the multi-week media freakout? Why is Trump + every Republican not asked about it every day? What would they be doing if @hasanthehun said it? (H/T @QasimRashid)

Palestinian child Mohammed Al-Zeinati rushed to rescue Civil Defense worker Sharif Lubbad. Israel then fired a second missile, killing Mohammed.

A disabled Australian woman accidentally pocket-dialed a JEWISH nutritionist. Nobody spoke, just noise from her bag. The nutritionist interpreted it as gunfire targeting her for being Jewish. Her complaint landed the woman in court on a charge carrying up to five years in jail

Hillary Clinton and others want us to think that once Netanyahu is out of the way, the US-Israel alliance can return to normal. But the problems of Israel go beyond one bad prime minister or one bad government. bit.ly/3UOflc6
