And add to this:

Anti-Zionism is NOT Antisemitism!

Israeli does NOT equal Jewish!

Jewish does NOT equal Israeli!

Jewish does NOT equal pro-Israeli-genocide!

Jewish does NOT equal Anti-Palestinian! [A shoutout to @jvp.bsky.social (Jewish Voice for Peace) 🤗💜☮️]

Jewish does NOT equal Islamophobic!

freephilistine and philistine7urra of IG:
Let's get some facts straight:
Israelis are not ISRAELITES.
Ashkenazis are not SEMITES.
HEBREW became a spoken language only 144 years ago and it's more Yiddish than Aramaic.
The Talmud is not the TORAH.
Yiddish is not ARAMAIC.
The satanic bankers who created the country of Israel in 1948, are imposters, they are not the real Jews and have no ties to historic PALESTINE.

😃👍 to @allensmithee.bsky.social for posting extensive replies to Tea4Me in the form of Track AIPAC files on Dem presidential hopefuls (not all on this list) who (whether because of Zionist conviction, e.g. @aoc.bsky.social, or bribes) support genocide.

DEMS, nominate a genocide-enabler?
Lose AGAIN!

Favorite for for what? For sending to The Hague on a charge of aiding & abetting a genocide? I can't pick a favorite there, because EVERYONE who did - some through racism & Zionist conviction, some because of AIPAC bribes (see the rogues gallery assembled by @allensmithee.bsky.social) - deserves it!

A screenshot of Tea4Me's post, supposedly asking people to choose a Dem presidential candidate from this list or nominate someone else.

Allan Smithee (@allensmithee.bsky.social) took the trouble to post entries from Track AIPAC about most - if not all - of the people on this list (and added several other presidential Dem hopefuls) as replies to Tea4Me's post, exposing their paid or unpaid support for Israel's genocide.

And you can scroll up from this one - bsky.app/profile/grum... - which deals with his dishonesty in the 2008 Dem primaries. His #1 selling point (against Dem rivals: his #1 selling point in the general election was that he wasn't Bush) was his stance on Peace... which was based on lying by omission.

Grumpy Old Lefty Git 🏴Ⓐ #Ubuntu @grumpyoldleftygit.bsky.social · 15h

A LOT of people - like Hedwig - were bitterly disappointed by @barackobama.bsky.social after he'd been elected. They felt betrayed.

I never felt betrayed nor disappointed... because I was sure from the start that he was a devious, honey-tongued charlatan.

He never let me down in that assessment.

An older Barack Obama places a ribbon with a medallion around a younger Barack Obama's neck.

Younger Barack Obama is grinning and says "Yes, we CAN!"

Older Barack Obama frowns and says "But I'm not gonna!"

This one - bsky.app/profile/grum... - is just 2 posts long, but deals with his sheer hypocrisy in accepting the Nobel Prize. (In his acceptance speech, he admitted that he'd done NOTHING to deserve it... but he accepted it anyway.)

Grumpy Old Lefty Git 🏴Ⓐ #Ubuntu @grumpyoldleftygit.bsky.social · 14h

I call him Ohblablablama because it suits him. Lots of bla bla bla. He got the Nobel Peace Prize for bla bla bla... then became the first 8-year POTUS with 🇺🇸 bombing other countries EVERY SINGLE DAY.

& my main point was that he's now LYING. He was NEVER in favor of single-payer health insurance.

What he wanted is of extreme importance! From the very start, he was a honey-tongued con artist, serving the interests of #TheRichAndPowerful, while PRETENDING to be on the side of the underdog.

To spare myself typing out again a lot of stuff, I'll give you 3 links. You can scroll down from this 👇.

Excuse me, but your post is ambiguous.

Obama is on record as saying NOW that he wanted a single-payer system as early as 2003? I'll believe that he's SAYING that... NOW.

Or there are records from 2003 showing that Obama said that BACK THEN? If so, I'm going to want you to provide creditable links.

I wouldn't say "exact same" but certainly similar.

The liberals will try to say "but many of the people Obama deported committed crimes" but if you look at it most were some small ass domestic infractions like DUI or less which should be treated the same they are with citizens.

BadEmpanada @badempanada.com · 14h

Trump inflicts upon Americans the exact same type of rule that those up in arms about it are happy to support when it's imposed by their 'liberal' presidents on the people of the third world. You were at brunch while masked men backed by Obama and Biden were doing this to people you think subhuman.

Netanyahu and certain other top-level Israeli officials have - on multiple occasions - made it patently clear that this genocide was never about getting the hostages back.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

I don’t know who first coined the saying that an Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire,” but it proves reliably accurate time after time.

Any European city council which - at this point in time - votes to be city-sisters (sister-cities?) with any Israeli city has the "reading the room" skills of a gnat. And not just any gnat! A drunken, mentally challenged, gnat heavily into self-harm and/or with a death wish.

96•77% of the quote-repost reactions find it shallow, racist, nasty, cynical, hypocritical, self-exonerating, and/or "horrendous".

The return of the Israeli hostages is a moment of pure joy for those families.

And a moment of relief for the entire world.

It means that a page can be turned. A new chapter can begin.

Europe fully supports the peace plan brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye.
