Ok, if you do choose to listen to this, it is truly divine that around the 18-minute mark they begin to fetishize Israelis. If they called any other people "leathery" and "tough" and "veiny" and portray them all as brutish ruffians. people would be up in arms.

B"H may I have the patience to keep reading when the author refuses to contextualize key moments, to place them in history, with the Pittsburgh Platform being a product of a time when Jews wanted to integrate into America while proto-Zionists in Russia were plagued by pogroms

@sareemakdisi @ClaraJeffery The first image is from 2017, the rest are from 2019. This level of carelessness is understandable from activists but not the EIC of Mother Jones.

@brianstelter @DustinGouker It isn't respectful to miss the whole point of the argument. Five years ago, I became a citizen. Last week at immigration, I got a printout with a big X over my information. I worried I wouldn't be allowed in. Not understanding that stress is a privilege.

@FrankLuntz because politicians take questions at press conferences, giving the press a chance to question their leader directly.
