I follow Zaid Jilani on Twitter. He’s generally very insightful and isn’t tainted by a lot of political ideology.

He would however occasionally post pro Palestine and anti-Israel things. I was curious what his thoughts were regarding today’s event. Not only did he not post anything, but it appears he’s wiped his tweet history.

What’s the lie? That Republicans are saying US tax money went to Iran, because that post never says that ding dong. The lie is claiming the Republicans are lying because they know that’s their best argument. Fucking politics!!
Brian Tyler Cohen is just another propaganda account. The fact his program is called "No lie" is rather comical, he should change professions to comedian.

When they tell you who they are…
From defund the police to defund Israel.

Imagine being more vague and noncommittal

We should have sanctions, not money

Biden overrode a Republican block on Palestinian aid. We just paid the people.

Fetterman got something right. I'm honestly a little surprised he's not pushing Palestine or at the very least middle ground. I'm impressed.
I used to work for a company based out of Israel. Obviously everyone is forced to do a certain number of years in the military there, and the stories you hear from their time there...Hamas underhanded sneak attacks, manipulation, complete disregard for civilians, real dirty shit.

Yep. He got it right. And I let him know.

Raped then murdered. She wasn't even Israeli. Sick stuff.

Sad. Even more sad is that the majority of Americans are fat and happy and really don’t care and would rather complain that men can’t get their penis cut off to be a woman.

Over 600 Israelis now confirmed dead.

About a dozen US hostages.

Oh, and there is this:

“Release the US hostages or you will receive a hundred missiles an hour”

We need a President. We need a leader.

Would it be better if Joe released a statement calling the Hamas guys "strong and powerful" and "fall in love" with them? That kind of strong leadership? lmao.

I'm amazed at the "Stop sending money for wars that are overseas!!!" to "WIPE PALENSTINE OFF THE MAP" in a matter of a few months.

War is great if it's brown people getting bombed in the desert, a bipartisan past time as old as time.

Is that a suggestion that we wouldn't see the man who made Soilemani into salsa taking a strong response?

I never argued against sending weapons. Weapons are fine. Money, not so much. Ukraine is still corrupt, and they don't need the money. They need bullets.

Speaking of weapons, notice those Hamas guys with M4s and not AKs? Wonder where those came from?

What about the guy who got Osama? He was part of that team. The guy who sided with MBS when a journalist got butchered sure doesn't instill confidence in those with a pulse.

Guess using the bigly strongly words about toughness makes someone tough.

Maybe they got them from Erik Prince? Who knows, terrorists going to terrorist.

We are bringing a carrier group to the coast of Israel? I'm pretty sure Isreal has the fire power to take out Gaza. If Iran gets involved that is another story.

Over 700 confirmed dead now. Over 3,000 injured. Over 100 hostages from all around the world, US, Thailand, Germany, Israel, etc.

Israel is still reclaiming territory that they lost during the initial invasion.

US technology certainly played a role in the scope and success of the operation.

Iran may as well be involved. Our admin will surely ignore them.

My hope is that the Navy is arriving to do targeted operations to recover Americans. My fear is that the Biden precedent is to offer a 1-800 number and wish them luck.

No administration is going to send troops in to save hostages in the middle of a warzone. We will have to let the IDF handle the rescue. I doubt anyone even knows where they hostages are being kept at.

Either way Isreal and the IDF are more than capable of taking out these terrorists.

So whose fault is it that the attackers skin is brown? Who brought up skin color?

What? The fault is on those that are getting wet at the idea of blowing Palestine off the map.

I brought up skin colour because it's pretty ironic that some people become doves when Russia invaded Ukraine but when it's brown on brown violence in the desert so many people are salivating at the coming destruction.

So this is backed by Iran. How much will we have to give them this time to give up our hostages?
