"The Israeli government has killed over 200 Palestinians, over 60 of whom were children. In Gaza, the Israeli government attacked Palestinian hospitals, schools, media offices, places of worship, homes, and critical infrastructure." patreon.com/posts/indicted…
"Israel has been unable to provide convincing evidence that the Palestinians they killed were even in proximity to Hamas -- not that this would justify the mass slaughter of families and civilians. There is no excuse. These are war crimes." - @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/indicted…
"Israel’s rationale for bombing the AP building makes no sense. They gave a warning for people to evacuate before they destroyed it. If Hamas operatives were inside, they would have left too, so what was the point of demolishing the building?" patreon.com/posts/indicted…
"We know the point – it was to terrorize the press who report on Israeli war crimes from within Gaza, and to destroy the evidence that they had already obtained.
This is what happens in authoritarian regimes. This is what happens in apartheid states." patreon.com/posts/indicted…
"It is notable that Israel carried out this act of violence against the media on the anniversary of the Nakba. As Orwell said, he who controls the past controls the future, and part of Israel’s aim is to annihilate the Palestinian past." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/indicted…

"Netanyahu is a corrupt, indicted criminal trying to avoid prison by starting a war. Biden should treat Netanyahu how he treats the Big Lie. Netanyahu is totally illegitimate." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/indicted…
"Netanyahu is the original Trump. He's an aspiring autocrat who uses his far-right base as a battering ram against his political opponents. Like Trump represents the worst of America, Netanyahu represents the worst of Israel." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/indicted…
"Helping Netanyahu in ANY way is enabling an indicted criminal and aspiring autocrat who is closely aligned with both Trump and Putin. Netanyahu belongs in the Hague." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/indicted…
Quit falling for flamboyant lawyers who know how to put on a show and start looking at who was never arrested at all despite being the ringleaders of the crimes
The GOP intends to grab power through rigging, not by winning people over. Voter suppression, voter intimidation, threats to state officials, new laws that give states the ability to toss votes. It was never about winning, it’s about stealing — with or without Trump.
Facile debates about GOP “needing” Trump are dangerously ignorant of the main threat, which is structural rigging through new voter suppression laws. GOP would not bother with these laws if Trump had mass appeal OR if they were able to win voters over. They’re not even trying.
The GOP goal is permanent tyranny of the minority. Popular will doesn’t matter for that goal. Actual vote tallies don’t matter. Appealing to voters is incidental; GOP voters are seen as dupes and pawns.
Impunity is the prize of tyranny of the minority, and it’s already here.
Jared Kushner was installed in part to exacerbate this problem and his actions, particularly in the last few months of the Trump admin when he was meeting with officials in Israel and other Middle Eastern countries, need to be scrutinized much more closely.
"For decades, we've seen not only the same crimes but the same elite criminals, and they all coalesced around Trump: Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Bill Barr, John Bolton, and so on. A Celebrity Apprentice of criminal GOP operatives." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/where-do…
"Norms have a moral dimension to them, and they were blown through in ways that are very troubling. Norms are occasionally broken in government, but never on the level of the Trump years." -- Daniel Klaidman on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/where-do…
"I would like to see a Jan 6 commission do a full investigation. Had they moved right away on doing that, we would have gotten a fuller public record and more accountability than we got out of the impeachment trial." -- Michael Isikoff on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/where-do…
Trump has always surrounded himself with criminal lawyers:
* Roy Cohn (indicted)
* Michael Cohen (indicted)
* Alan Dershowitz (accused of raping girl procured by Epstein)
* David Schoen (bragged about repping Israeli and Russian mobsters)
* And Giuliani! patreon.com/posts/giuliani…
"The 'America's Mayor' thing was a myth, a complete fluke caused by 9/11. Giuliani was always a brutal and controversial figure in NYC, beloved by racists, Wall St, and cops who like to beat and murder black people and get away with it." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/giuliani…
"By 9/11, Giuliani was a washed-up scandal magnet in best known at the time for cheating on his wife. I know this because I worked at NY Daily News then and had to spend an entire summer making 'Rudy and Judi' website packages." 😳patreon.com/posts/giuliani…
