1/ On Friday, I posted a Substack that for the antisemite, nothing a Jew says will ever be enough to pass the purity test.

Proof positive comes from Senator @Scott_Wiener .

2/ Wiener had already caved to the anti-Israel mob last January whe, in response to pressure, he said Israel was guilty of "genocide" in Gaza.

It didn't help. The mob goes after him anyway.

Nothing a Jew says can make him acceptable to the modern antisemites.

3/ Wiener learned the wrong lesson. He issued a statement about how harassment is bad, without mentioning antisemitism even though he admits the same mob taunted him about his "tainted bloodline."

He could have drawn a line at principle. Instead he drew it at physical harassment.

1/ When today's "progressive" far Left Jews compare their anti-Zionism to that of the Bund, it turns out that they are right.

It is not the compliment they pretend it is.

2/ In 1929, only a week after the Hebron massacre of Jews and two days after murders spread to Safed, 3000 Bund members met in Warsaw to blame Zionists for the Arabs murdering Jews.

The parallels to how the Left reacted to October 7 are eerie.

3/ The speeches in the Splendid Theatre thundered to "LIQUIDATE ZIONISM." Not "oppose" it, not fight against it - liquidate it.

1/ Sam Harris asked a simple question: What would each side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict do if it had the power to do whatever it wanted? If Hamas had that power, it would carry out a genuine genocide, a project it has announced repeatedly and acted on when it could. (If the PA had it, they would put all the Jews on ships to Europe.) If Israel had it, there would be peace.

2/ He said this is the only important question, because both sides have different interpretations of the past and litigating that is a waste of time. And this is why he refuses to debate Israel-haters.

3/ @PeterBeinart responded, and as he normally does, he avoided the question and then did exactly what Harris said was a waste of time: relitigating the past.

My essay points out Beinart's deceptions and methods, with a healthy dose of facts that he does not want anyone to notice.

1/ Here is yet another case of @Amnesty literally making things up when it comes to Israel.

2/ It issued a press release on a report by the NGO @HelpAge about the (very real) problems older Gazans have in wartime.

But it claimed HelpAge said things it did not say.

@HelpAge 3/ While HelpAge's methodology was problematic, particularly how it selected who to interview, the report is honest about it. it includes appropriate caveats.

Amnesty throws all that out the window.

For example:

I haven't been writing much about the Iran situation because there are so few facts. No one knows what's going on, everyone is guessing, everyone is frustrated, analysts are filling the gaps with their own politics.

But I have my own guess as to whats' happening that fits the facts we do know.
1/

Trump is running hot and cold between being a warmonger and wanting a ceasefire. Netanyahu seems to be supporting Trump. The conventional wisdom is that time is on Iran's side, and every delay by Trump is a victory for the IRGC and the hardliners. What is really going on?
2/

Israel has incredibly good intelligence of what's going on in Iran. We must assume that this includes inside the supposedly impenetrable IRGC. If anyone knows the situation on the ground in Iran, it is Israel.

This is the key to understand what is happening.

1/Every negative news story about how hard the Iran war is actually proves why it had to be fought — and why we nearly waited too long.

2/U.S. intelligence says the war hasn't changed Iran's nuclear timeline. Iran still has its highly enriched uranium stockpile, buried in tunnels American munitions can't penetrate.
Critics say: proof the war is failing.
The correct reading: proof of what a decade of delay costs.

3/Israel and the US still can't produce interceptors nearly as fast as Iran produces ballistic missiles. Iran fired ~650 ground-to-ground missiles in 40 days of fighting. The 4 week ceasefire wasn't close to enough to replenish stocks. That's a time bomb that only gets worse.
