Imagine if you showed up w your kid to their buddy’s bday party and told the parents to get their own kid a present and you’d pay them back. Rude, right? A little weird? So why do grandparents do this? Retired w nothing to do & yet refuse to put in this little bit of effort.

If Platner's tattoo had been a Confederate flag, Democrats would have remembered what they claim to believe in. But it was just the symbol of a Nazi concentration camp guard, and it was mostly Jews who were upset, so he still gets to be the progressive hero this moment needs.

To Democrats who support Platner: Just be honest about what you’re doing. That’s all. Be honest and admit you don’t care right now about personal character, you don’t care that Platner is a bad, horrible, dishonest fraud. Right now, you only care about winning. That’s okay if that’s your position (it’s not mine), but just be honest about it. Be honest and admit that by supporting Platner you’re just like every Trump supporter and every Texan who supports Paxton. Bcuz, like you, they don’t care about personal character either.

Sohrab, come on. They face the real thing now. Tucker, the vice president's friend and ally, thinks we brought pornography to America to destroy American society. And Mamdani on the other side of the aisle thinks the tiny little NYPD exchange program with the Israel Police "laced the boots" of racist NYC cops. When Jews are the cause of all the ills, when it's all anyone can talk about -- that's the thing itself. No, JD Vance isn't an antisemite. But a Jew who sees antisemitism looking at them from the corners of every dark room isn't imagining it. There are polling numbers. It's waves upon waves online that hit every visibly Jewish user of almost any platform every single day. It's millions of people now, and higher among the young as they radicalize online. It includes some of the biggest podcasters alive. And offline too, Jews are the number one target of religious hate crimes in America. Every synagogue in America has guards outside now. So to tell Jews "you'll soon face the real thing" if they commit the crime of seeing it around them already -- i.e., they're causing it -- is not a decent position to take.

Bruh 🤣🤣🤣

This isn't "white male" identity politics. It's "downwardly mobile, far left, revolutionary edgelord larping, Jew-hating misogynist" identity politics. The average white American man thinks this dude is a fucking chode.

I'm utterly horrified that a group of students in Boulder justified the deadly firebombing attack last year that targeted the Jewish community and encouraged others to follow the murderer's "act of resistance." Anti-Semitic rhetoric like this continues to put the Jewish community at risk and paves the way for exactly the kind of hate-fueled violence we witnessed that day. This behavior is a disgrace and should be denounced by every Coloradan and American. This is not who we are.

People were not ignoring the Nazi tattoo. They were defending him because they knew he knew and they liked it.

The Nazi tattoo should’ve been enough. It really should have.

Is it possible for people to enjoy the Israel Day Parade without whining about Mamdani? Enough already! You all sound like angry exes.

Another winner this week..

Al Arz tahini got boycotted in 2020 by conservative Arabs because its Nazareth owner funded an Arabic LGBTQ hotline. Now the Park Slope Food Coop is boycotting it for being Israeli. Full circle. Great tahini, btw.

Does Saudi Arabia have a right to exist as a state that forbids non-Muslims from driving on certain roads and entering certain cities? What about Pakistan as an Islamic Republic, or even Iran? Do you notice how no one asks if these states have a right to exist? Why?

The founder of BDS, Omar Barghouti, has been clear: the movement’s goal is not peace. It is the destruction of Israel. So let’s stop the performance. You are not a peace activist. You are a war activist.

New Yorkers who came tonight to Gracie Mansion protesting Zohran Mamdani discovered that Mamdani has a buffer zone near his house. Let that sink in: the mayor who used his veto power to prevent Jewish schools from having buffer zones against Nazis protesting at their doorstep, has a buffer zone against New Yorkers that are persisting him.

Saddening proof that the defacement of hostage posters never had anything to do with Israel. It was always about the perverse devaluation of Jewish life.

How many Gen-Xers and Xennials remember having to ask our Silent Generation/early-Boomer parents if we could afford something off the menu? Or being told the highest price we were allowed to order? Or being told what section we couldn’t order from? Just me?

How on earth does anyone stomach Brad Lander? Park slope is truly made up of performative douchebags.
