Important @FreeBeacon editorial on the new coalition of progressive Dems in Congress who are seeking to normalize BDS with a clever new strategy freebeacon.com/national-secur…
The strategy is to condition US military assistance to Israel -- a policy dating back 50 years and that has major strategic benefits to both the US and Israel -- on Israel obeying unreasonable and dangerous far-left demands regarding the Palestinians
The leaders of the effort -- @AOC, the "Squad," Bernie Sanders, and others -- released a letter last week, and before it was made public she circulated it to anti-Semitic and BDS hate groups. Image
Troublingly, no Democrats criticized or condemned the progressives in their caucus for working with BDS groups or in the case of DCI-P, an NGO that is literally a front for a US- and EU-designated terrorist group

🧵 With this UNSC resolution, the Biden administration has fully become Hamas's lawyer in the international arena. This is a multifaceted attack not just on Israel's ability to prosecute the war, but on its security needs after the war. Think I'm exaggerating? Read on. 1/
First point: Phase 1 of the "ceasefire" doesn’t require the release of any specific number of hostages. It only calls for “the release of hostages including women, the elderly and the wounded.” Hamas could plausibly satisfy this by releasing three people. In fact, the terms of the hostages-for-prisoners deal in Phase 1 are so vague that they seem *designed* to cause the deal to fail in Phase 1. 2/
What really gives the game away is this: “if the negotiations take longer than six weeks for phase one, the ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue.” So what they’ve done here is create a deal that will never be concluded and then stipulate that as long as it’s not concluded, Israel is not allowed to fight. Not very subtle! 3/

One year ago @elizashapiro, a NYT education reporter, wrote this breathless 1,400-word story about a "sweeping" and "dramatic" lawsuit from lefty race activists that would rewrite admissions to NYC schools. A Democratic judge tossed it out today in a two-sentence ruling. 1/
The suit was ludicrous on its face and deserved at most a short, highly skeptical piece. At most! Instead, NYT ran a long feature that entertained no doubt about the soundness of the suit's legal theory or its prospects in court. 2/
Shapiro actually ran this preposterous quote with nary a word of skepticism: "'This is the first case in the nation to seek a constitutional right to an anti-racist education,' said Mark Rosenbaum, one of the lawyers suing the city and state." Clown world. 3/

The Biden foreign policy moves we're seeing -- refusing to stop buying Russian oil, sudden outreach to Venezuela and KSA, the insane cave-in to Iran/Russia in the Vienna talks -- make sense once you realize Biden admin foreign policy has two inviolable rules:
Rule #1: get back into something that can be heralded as the Iran deal, no matter what. This is less a policy idea than a matter of Democratic honor – refusing to admit the failure of Obama’s major foreign policy goal, repudiating Trump, etc.
Rule #2: cripple domestic energy production. This is the foremost demand of the eco-activist base of the Dem Party. No matter how much gas prices increase, the admin will not budge.

Short thread. This three-byline NBC News piece (by @tylerkingkade, @BrandyZadrozny, & Ben Collins) is the latest MSM attack on critics of woke K-12 education. It covers no new ground but the way it’s framed – identical to other MSM pieces – is telling. 1/ nbcnews.com/news/us-news/c…
You’d think a long story about growing opposition to CRT, “social justice” activism, etc in schools would include a few grafs detailing what people are upset about. What new ideas, exactly, are being taught? How are schools changing curricula? Etc. 2/
You keep waiting for the reporters to describe what people are upset about. But they never do, and obviously it is no oversight. The desire is not just to make the woke revolution seem like nothing, but to make its critics sound like cranks and hysterics. 3/

Trita Parsi is upheld by progressives as a leading foreign policy voice and Middle East expert. He is included in the list of 100 foreign policy "experts" progressives are demanding Biden admin hire. And he's been baselessly claiming Trump will start a war with Iran for years.

THREAD: I’m proud to announce a new foreign policy project I am helping lead, a new group called the Democratic Alliance Initiative. We have several goals: to remind Americans of the foreign policy stakes in the election 1/
To expose the revisionist history and false claims offered as a defense of returning to the Iran deal & peace process; to highlight the threat from China; and to combat the growing reliance of the foreign policy left on narratives and “experts” 2/
What do I mean by the latter? It’s the subject of @AllianceInit’s first offering, a major report titled “Consistently Wrong: Four Years of Failed Foreign Policy Predictions from Obama and Biden Advisors.” Read it here: 3/
