MEIN KAMPF OR ARAB LEADER?
Without googling, guess whether the following real quotes are from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, or said by a prominent Arab leader. Answer key below quiz.
1. "The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew."
2. "Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you."
3. “If we searched the entire world for a person, more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew."
4. "The truth that we should clarify to the world is that European Jews are not Semites. They have nothing to do with Semitism."
5. "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
6. “There are Jews everywhere. We must attack every Jew on planet Earth! We must slaughter and kill them."
7. “When imperialism felt that its end was near, it tried to perpetuate its hold… Then it presented a racialist idea which transformed religion into race and Judaism into Zionism."
8. "He killed or starved about thirty million people with positively fanatical savagery, in part amid inhuman tortures, in order to give a gang of Jewish journalists and stock exchange bandits domination over a great people."
9. “The Jews tried to kill the principals of all religions with the same mentality in which they betrayed Jesus Christ."
10. "While the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb _Goyim_. It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks."

Since @CNN decided to cast Israeli claims into doubt, I thought I'd apply the same standard to other stories. 🧵
1. Here’s a video claiming to show excessive police force. 2. Looks pretty damning. 3. But it doesn’t show why this man was pinned, leading one to wonder: 4. Why was this man pinned? 5. This needs more context. 6. I’ll show you the context.
🧵
Here’s another angle of the video, showing the moments before. The first time I saw it I concluded that the police just jumped him and pinned him. Egregious police brutality.
That’s NOT what happened.

My 13-year-old daughter is part of a group of 8 girls she’s been tight with for years. Yesterday she found out that she and another girl are the only ones in the group who is straight. None of them has been in a romantic relationship.
But do tell me it’s not social contagion.
I’m genuinely happy that we’ve advanced to the point where gender identity and sexual orientation are socially destigmatized. But kids and adolescents should not be pressured into accepting a single identity because it’s trendy.

No such thing as bad publicity.
My sincere congratulations to @StrangelEdweird for being recognized by one of the worst purveyors of racecraft in the modern era.
I am thoroughly tickled by the idiotic strawman arguments that don’t actually engage with the substance of Angel’s piece. NHJ is — as she has been since Day One — running on rhetorical fumes.

I don’t normally do this…
The toll the recent flareup in Israel-Palestine has had on children is sickening and unimaginable. But there is something off about the details: they are mostly based on accounts by fathers and uncles — who manage to survive. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
There are 12 stories about Israeli airstrikes killing children in Gaza.
9 are based on accounts by surviving fathers
2 are based on accounts by surviving uncles
1 is based on accounts by a surviving male cousin

IfNotNow is a modern incarnation of the German Vanguard. It expends all of its resources amplifying and exaggerating alleged Israeli atrocities while completely denying the surge in antisemitism and minimizing the menace it poses to Jews the world over.
Judd has been putting a lot of work into exposing corporate political contributions, especially to candidates who behaved undemocratically. Thing is, it's the employees, not the corporations, that are making those donations.
According to the Federal Election Commission, contributions to political candidates from corporations are prohibited. fec.gov/help-candidate…

One of the most insidious forms of anti-racist race hustling in the modern era is the concept of “white tears”. And nothing embodies this racecraft like this article by @DamonYoungVSB, the same author of the recent gem, “Whiteness is a Pandemic”. verysmartbrothas.theroot.com/white-tears-ex…
I first heard the term “white tears” when the moderator of a company-wide seminar in the wake of George Floyd’s death asked white female employees not to shed tears, even in empathy. My jaw dropped. (I realized later that this was taken from Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility”.)
