We went from 'Israel has no right to exist' to 'Israel doesn't exist.' Gotta hand it to the antisemites, they're always on a forward march.
Between this and MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin's line of questioning yesterday, it's clear this is where we're headed. Denying Israel's existence is what they've settled on.

One thing I've noticed from seeing various conversations with pundits and writers on twitter today: when someone brings up the 'proportionate response' canard and is then asked to define it, the conversation hits an abrupt wall.
The more honest among them are like AOC--they complain that Israel has Iron Dome and Hamas doesn't, so they're arguing what others think but try not to say: not enough dead Israelis.
They also make clear they don't think Hamas's response--starting a cross border war by repeatedly and intentionally bombing civilian centers--is 'disproportionate' to the offense. Which is how you know they define 'disproportionate' as 'Israel=bad.'
This year is the hundredth anniversary of the 1921 Hebron riots, in which Jews were massacred, and here's a sitting congresswoman replaying the same incitement song
I signed what's come to be known as the #JewishHarpersLetter supporting open discourse and I want to take a moment to explain why. You can read the letter and my fellow original signatories here: jilv.org/be-heard/
First, I should point everyone to this fantastic piece by David L. Bernstein, a veteran Jewish community official, about his role in trying to facilitate dialogue and being told to account for 'white' Jewish 'complicity' in racist systems jewishjournal.com/commentary/334…
A major concern of mine is the way Jews do not fit in to America's dominant model of discourse on race. Few things can make US Jews so clearly 'otherized' than the erasure that comes with being told your participation is determined by the shade of your skin tone.
Good Atlantic piece on the army of left-wing Tucker Carlsons burning science to the ground for the sake of the Culture War Life theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
I've said it before, but the red-team-blue-team politicized life makes America a deeply irrational place a lot of the time.
We live in a highly educated, deeply stupid society
Went to pick up a challah someone left for us in their carport and when I got to it a crow was eating it after eating through the bag. Is there any interpretation of that scene that doesn't end in like the earth opening up and swallowing me?
Just want you all to know I've cherished the time we've spent on this hellsite together to prepare me for wherever the crow is taking me next.
