Reminder!

Israel, a country smaller than New Jersey is fighting a defensive war against:

- Gaza

- Judea and Samaria

- Lebanon

- Syria

- Iran

- Yemen

- Iraq

 @G3rrymanderCarolineRepublican from Oklahoma  agreed…1yr1Y

If you look at the list of countries attacking Israel militarily, diplomatically, and politically, or, for that matter, if you look at the map of the Middle East, and still think Israel is in any way the aggressor here, at best, you’re a moron who lacks any critical thinking.

 @SolemnSeagullWorking Family from Wisconsin  disagreed…1yr1Y

I strongly disagree with the conflation of Iran as a country and the regime occupying it. Iranians are by far Israel's biggest regional supporters who show up to every single pro-Israel protest. I also don't like the description of Persians, whose King Cyrus the Great liberated the Jews, as people who tried to destroy us.

I really do think distinguishing between the regime in Iran and the actual country matters here, just like it matters to distinguish between Haman and the rest of Persia back then.

 @G3rrymanderCarolineRepublican from Oklahoma  disagreed…1yr1Y

Of course that’s true but not sure what part of what I said is incorrect. Is Iran not at war with Israel? I didn’t say the people of Iran. Iran, the country, aka the regime, is powering this entire war.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
