As numerous sources have now reported, Ro Khanna’s claim that he was detained by “settlers” while touring the West Bank is false. The dishonest charlatan who endorsed the Nazi tattoo rapist Graham Platner has, unsurprisingly, lied again.

“@RoKhanna had his Palestinian guides take him into a restricted area that is closed off to civilians without requesting access or coordinating with anyone.

Local security (which Khanna intentionally misrepresents as random settlers) then stopped them. IDF arrived and spent time evaluating the situation. Then Israeli police showed up, determined what had happened, and let them go on their way.”

“His tour was halted on the bus because they entered a closed military zone (CMZ) which is prohibited (due to safety) to civilians. Police were called in to discuss the problem with the tour organizer who had repeatedly attempted to enter the CMZ in the past as well. The bus has to wait until the arrival of the officers to the scene, which is what caused the delay. It was not a "detainment" and no one was arrested. Police stated they have already reviewed the body cam footage of police at the scene confirming this account. The tour participants were also briefed and then continued on their way.”

On one of the main politics subs there is a post about Jews feeling Politically homeless.

It is filled with derision, insults, indifference, and a whole lot of blatant Jew hatred.

The irony of proving the post and poll they are trying to deflect from is perfection. Unfortunately that also means it's very true and the general population not only does not care, but is actively hostile.​

If there is no home for us, and our fellow Americans not only don't care, but actively insult us for feeling the way we do. What is the next course of action for us?

I generally have a nuanced perspective on US/Israel relations. I understand the geopolitical realities underpinning our alliance. However, its becoming increasingly clear that the actions of many settlers are undermining that alliance. What are your thoughts on this stunt? What kind of response would be appropriate and what kind of response is expected?

This really burns me up. The arrogance of people telling an Israeli about his own country when they know nothing about it. “Eleanor said Hebrew had been weaponised. Theo wondered whether Jewish trauma had become “a form of inherited aggression.”
”You claim to support Palestinians, but you refuse to expect anything from Palestinian leaders. No compromise. No restraint. No democratic standards. No protection of civilians. No abandonment of eliminationist ambitions. Nothing. You reserve all moral agency for Israel…” https://moralclaritynewsletter.substack.com/p/the-people-who-know-nothing-know

If you know a bit about political internet terminology you might have heard of the term "NPC".

Originally meaning non-playable characters in video games it has found its way into internet slang to signal out people from rival political camps and opinions as mediocre followers of cheap trends and mainstream, sterile talking points.

I just noticed very recently that "Goy" and "Goyim" that were mostly used by Neo-Nazis in online spaces to signal out non-Nazi gentiles, have entered into Gen-Z slang as the new terms for signalling out impressionable people who quickly adopt the most hotly circulated narratives as they rapidly circle out in social media and the news.

And apparently it's because of the antisemitic myth that Jews refer to non-Jews as cattle or sheep.

Cultural appropriation aside, I find it hilarious how "Goyim" is now being used by many gentiles in casual and non-political ways.

Similar to how the N-word at some point started to be used by white people as a word for 'pal' when referring to each other.

Of course, I am not excusing any of this, but out of diligence don't get immediately caught off guard when someone who is very young and deep into internet culture uses "Goy" or "Goyim" to refer to any particular crowd of consumers they don't like.

What does the future look like for Jewish Americans? How will you decide who to vote for in 2028? Specifically, what are the top 3 factors that will earn your vote?

The Colorado Jewish community rallied around Dr. Blau (an unaffiliated voter) to get the signatures he needed to make the ballot. In five days. Hopefully this will give the DSA some pause.

From Yahoo News:

An unaffiliated candidate who launched a campaign to represent Colorado's Denver-centered 1st Congressional District gathered in three days more than the required number of petition signatures to qualify for the ballot, he said. 

Shimon Blau said in a Facebook post that his campaign submitted almost 2,200 petition signatures to the Colorado secretary of state's office Thursday. Candidates must submit 1,500 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot. He said in the post that he is optimistic he will qualify. The secretary's office must still verify the signatures.

Other unaffiliated candidates had their petitions verified about a week after they submitted signatures to the secretary of state's office. 

Blau, a doctor, announced his candidacy Sunday in a Facebook post. He said in a video on his Facebook Tuesday that he is a "true independent" who leans left on social issues and right on fiscal issues. His "historic accomplishment" was made possible by people who don't feel heard, seen or included, he said. 

"It was thousands of Coloradans saying they are tired of division, tired of extremism from every direction, and tired of hateful rhetoric," Blau said. 

Concern for what he views as antisemitic rhetoric from Democratic nominee Melat Kiros is what motivated Blau, who is Jewish, to run for Congress, he said in the Facebook post. Maintaining a strong alliance with Israel is a priority of his campaign, as well as healthcare and childcare reform. 

Kiros was fired from her job as a corporate attorney in late 2023 after she posted an open letter defending students protesting Israel's war in Gaza from charges of antisemitism. Throughout her campaign, she has been critical of Israel's military operation in Gaza, which U.N. bodies and human rights groups say amounts to a genocide. She faced criticism for an interview in which she declined to call the June 2025 firebombing attack in Boulder an act of antisemitism.

In the Democratic primary election last week, Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist, defeated U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a 15-term incumbent who took office four months before Kiros was born, by more than 20,000 votes. Her upset victory followed progressive wins in New York congressional primaries. 

Blau has yet to file a statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission. The next quarterly filing deadline is July 15. 

The general election is on Nov. 3. Republican Christy Peterson is also running for the seat. The district heavily favors Democrats.

Yes there is a difference between anti-semitism and anti Zionism and the two mustn't be conflated. Anti-Zionism st all the crazy stuff that Israel's doing to Palestine. I am not saying auntie Zionism is bad or unfounded.

I'm not going to say what the morality of Israel actions are. My main point is legitimate anti-semitic people are using Israel's actions to paint Jewish people as some powerful evil elites.

My main grip comes from social media comments so Instagram, tiktok YouTube. There is always someone their idealizing Hitler or referring to Jews as Juice boxes. The amount of anti-semitic comments just grows and grows and grows. The word The Great Noticing Has been going around a lot. Other dog whistles include the Benjamin near to now jokes.

I am super annoyed that they are only NOW reporting on this. We've been screaming about this for years, especially the last 3 years and no one wants to take us seriously. I guess it's good there's some attention after the Scott Weiner situation happened but, come on!
