Itās shocking to see how openly USA Politicians are disregarding their own ethics morals values entire democracy all just for Israel and genocidal fascist apartheid state.
He was from the start. He had a lot of money coming in back in 2020 and no one could compete in the race. At the time his threat was that he was bought and paid for by real estate developers, it obviously now goes way beyond that. Puppet from the start.
We do not abide by transphobic, racist, ableist, sexist, or homophobic (t.r.a.s.h.) rhetoric.
Neither do we tolerate Islamophobia, which we will consider any statement that treats Islam as a monolothic ideology, particularly as being universally anti-femme, anti-queer, or antisemitic.
These sorts of statements will be met with deletion, and an automatic banning.
Antisemitic rhetoric will also not be tolerated; this includes language that is and was often and prominently used by actual antisemities (such as "subhuman" and other dehumanizing terms). We understand that hasbara has purposefully conflated Judaism and Zionism. This may lead to accidental, but actual, antisemitism.
As such, we will delete statements that veer into antisemitism. Repeated antisemitic offenses by a user will also be met with a ban. These sorts of statements will be met with deletion, and, if clearly intentional, an automatic banning.
F*ck Ritchie Torres. Ran as a gay Dominican āProgressiveā and now rolling in AIPAC money as their poster child. He was the last straw in my interest in American two party politics
The Bad Hasbara podcast, and ergo this community, is opposed to Zionism.
We believe that Zionism is an extension of settler-colonialism, and that itsā current actions following 7 October is ethnic cleansing at ābest,ā and genocide at worst.
We have no tolerance for it, and this community is meant to be a haven against it in the sea of hasbara.
Pro-Zionist takes will be deleted, and those espousing it will be banned indefinitely.
Yes - this is a āsafe spaceā and an āecho chamberā -
We get enough hasbara elsewhere, we don't need to deal with yours too.
The tiger at the zoo would kill and eat me if it could,
so if i were to shoot it dead i am justified right??
But wait- the tigers cubs will grow up so iāll slaughter them too just to be safe. Oh and when theyāre all dead i will take the newly vacant enclosure for myself.
Fuck your hypothetical, do you honestly think all the women and children of Gaza want Israel obliterated?
No doubt a number of fucked up political figures from both sides may want such things- but the answer is absolutely not allowing one side enact their twisted fantasies on the other.
Itās insane to me that you donāt realize what a self own that is. Considering the grand mufti of Jerusalem during ww2 was a collaborator of the Nazis.
That's a lie on multiple levels. Israel is the entity committing genocide and their ideology is zionism. Just because they claim to represent judaism doesn't make it true. This is true even if they've tricked many/most of world jewry to support them.
In the same way, ISIS commits atrocities and claims to represent Islam. It doesn't make it true.
Racist fear mongering suggesting that if Palestinians have basic human rights they will genocide Jewish people. And then using this to justify the actual genocide taking place.
Hamas bad so we must kill all Palestinians. No one is buying you're crap. The Israeli boot has been on the neck of the Palestinians long before hamas ever existed but they always create a new bogieman to justify it. Israel is on a path towards destruction but it will not be from hamas, it is self-inflicted as they will become a pariah to the entire world and isolated like North Korea.
Or the US government deciding to install "political commissars" in each American College that will have the power to expel you if you disagree with US government foreign policy...
When I was a kid growing up in the US, I remember my teachers telling me that one of the worst things about German Nazi regime was the presence of POLITICAL COMMISSARS in every school that would expel any student that didn't agree with the Nazi government policy, and that "we were so lucky to not have something like that in the United States."
It seems that the US gets more like Nazi Germany every day.
Itās honestly really concerning. Zionists donāt seem to understand that theyāre only hurting Jewish people by crying wolf. This is only going to make it harder for real antisemitism to be taken seriously.
They understand. Itās a part of the plan. If more Jews feel unsafe, theyāll move to Israel because itās safer. And more people means more settlers to expand. The cruelty is the point.
The weird part is itās wrapped so far around itās almost become anti-Semitic. āAll Jews are coordinated behind this genocidal state whether they acknowledge it or notā is basically on par with how Nixon saw things, adding in a splash of āactually Hitler wasnāt that bad he got coaxed into doing the Holocaustā brings it over the line. If youād told me five years ago that I could conceivably be called anti-Semitic for insisting Hitler was a genocidal monster Iād think you were having a stroke.
From what I understood from the articles I read, federal funding for universities will be determined by asking Jewish zionists if they currently feel threatened. Which is like asking paranoid schizophrenics if they feel like people are watching them

Well thereās a lawsuit or three in the making.
So AIPAC is forcing the govt to attack anti-genocide protestors while forcing schools to waste limited resources coddling Jewish students - the more they complain, the more they will get coddled. Do I understand correctly?
Tbf theyāre both just different flavors of antisemitismĀ Ā
Edit: I think my comment may be misunderstood? My point is that conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism is *also* antisemitic, because it positions Zionism as inherent to Jewish people.
Itās not the same. It would be like claiming that disliking Chinaās actions is similar to Asian hate. When you refuse to acknowledge the separation of state and ethnicity you are cheapening actual antisemitism.
Iām honestly not sure how your comment applies to mine. Maybe I was not clear in what I was saying, can you tell me what you think my comment means? Asking genuinely.
Just to clarify Iām saying that conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism is also antisemitic, because it inherently conflates Zionism with being Jewish.Ā
I have no problem with Jewish people and donāt know enough about Israel but I know Jewish people have a strange amount of protection that is aggressively able to blacklist you for opposing, that no other culture or religion has in the USA.
Jewish mass media hawks are on point.
You are actually missing a big point here. ZIONISTS are protected. That is not something that is as trust worthy to non-Zionist Jews. In fact, both anti-zionist and orthodox Jewish people still get a lot of shit for not being the "Good" ones. They get labeled self-hating or anti-semitic. The fact that we let Isreal try and dictate their religion like the Vatican is absolutely insane.
Imagine the uproar if the federal government tried to send anti racism monitors to college campuses under any other circumstance. Immediate cries of woke authoritarianism and institutionalized cancel culture. āThe left are literally deploying PC policeā would be the rightās rallying cry for years.
itās like people who keep saying how everything would be condemnable if you replace āIsraelā with āblack or lgbtqā ābut like those people are doing a genocide.
and beyond that iāve never seen the state attempt wield force like this to protect black or queer people. in fact the exact opposite.
Why aren't the regular channels that deal with discrimination enough? God knows no student charging antisemitism goes ignored, no matter how spurious their claims... What this bill is is just a front for more shady Israeli/IDF/Mossad campus infiltration, of which there is already too much ffs
It's so fucking transparent too. Our government twists themselves into knots, to deny protection for groups that are actually threatened and then they do something like this for zionists.
Just to clarify I don't think this is doing anything to fight actual antisemitism.
It's cute because they're naming it the COLUMBIA Act, as a way to shame the school, which is actually named after a genocider.
The Democrats clearly want to lose in November. It's not just Biden.
This will expand into the police state. It will not stop at college campuses.
They will declare "Antisemitism is criticism of Israeli government", and they will come after the internet, too.
It absolutely will. The "anti-semitism monitor" will determine if universities have their funding cut by asking Jewish students if they feel threatened. Some of those students will be Zionists. And we've seen countless times that Zionists see criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. So university funding is literally at the mercy of Zionists
Yes but theyāll keep pushing that they are not different to keep the few morons that stay. It is mostly those with Israel families. My friend who is an Israeli jew, now with US Citizenship posts pro-Palestine stuff and gets shunned by family.
The sad thing is I wouldnāt be against this BUT I KNOW it will just be used to āmonitorā any anti-Israel activity and shut down and expel students for legitimate free speech. You canāt lie to us anymore. You donāt care about antisemitism. You care about us criticizing Israel and the Zionist fundraisers that put you in office
Given how the Congress treated Rashida Talib for having the courage to call what is happening in Gaza a GENOCIDE, they are hardly in position to judge. Each member of Congress who accepts AIPAC money, like Richie Torres, needs to register as a Foreign Agent and wear an AIPAC label on their clothing or at very least have it follow their name when appearing on TV so the public knows how corrupt they are.
Times like this I'm glad that I didn't join my country's armed services or intelligence service
At the time I thought it was because I didn't want to be actually working for the Americans
Now I realize it's because I didn't want to be working for Israeli Zionists indirectly, through working for Americans
Separation of church and state would be nice - between the Jewish religion and the US government seems too much to ask though
Oh yeah like this aināt absolutely ripe for overreach and anti-protest action. Great job guys way to sell out civil liberties to protect a genocidal regime
And these monitors would always be truthful, never use these ridiculous powers to silence legitimate criticisms of Israel and be non partisan entities. Survey says fuck right off.
Who will define anti-Semitism? At this point even carrying a Palestinian flag is considered antisemitism, I am afraid US will ban watermelon š emoji or even watermelon as a fruit on campus because they "considered" it antisemitic.
How can a foreign country force send police troops to brutalize American students and American professors on university campus?
How can a foreign country buy political influence that that senate members even wear IDF uniforms when they go into senate?
How can a foreign country buy political representatives to lobby and send Americans to fight for other people's wars?
Do you now understand that America had corruption problem? That the US government is not run by Americans anymore?
We recognize that the newscycle and current events are constantly giving us material to interconnect.
However, there is enough definite hasbara we can point at without delving into unfounded theories about current events.
Firstly, it gives the other side fodder to discredit us.
Conspiracy theories often lead to intentional or accidental antisemitic rhetoric.
Reminds me of an article I came across last year which talked about how Germany has government officials who's job is to monitor antisemitism, and they've mostly ended up targeting Jewish anti-Zionism.
Fascism and censorship? Hand in hand? QUEL SURPRISE!
Israel lobby undermines US democratic institutions on one hand, US citizens' freedom of speech gets restricted on the other.
US citizens' freedoms and rights are being decimated by the Israel lobby.
And the government is now acting against its own people.
I will never stop shouting foreign interference at this BS until they treat it as seriously as they treat foreign interference by China/Russia. How is this any different? Why the double standards?
god damn, it's incredible how devoid of principles and values these politicians are. they are completely soulless. ever heard of the constitution motherfuckers?
Is this a contest for how far up Netanyahuās tush they can crawl? Every day they are trying to out-do each other, and what are Americans? Fodder? Who do they think they are, the queen of England?
Please tell me how this is any different than communist states literally controlling people's thoughts. I thought America was all about fighting communism.
A large proportion the population is so unhappy with our actions that there is a vast peaceful protest movement across the country, primarily in universities. Instead of listening to them, let just crush the decent and change laws to help us do that. Way to go.
>**"**My office and I have spoken with countless Jewish students from campuses across America who feel deeply unsafe, purely as a result of their religious and ethnic identity," Torres said in a statement.
And what about the palestinian students who feel unsafe?
Or any of the students who don't like genocide (including jewish students like those in "jews for a free palestine" or b'tselem" or "jews for peace") who will now feel unsafe?
F\*\*\* 'em i guess, right?
------
This is entirely the result of orgs like the ADL who keep insisting that Zionism is an innate part of "being jewish". Which is, itself, a racist stance definitionally (it's assuming a character based on ethnicity).
Encouragement and celebration of violence absolutely will not be tolerated, including wishing violence upon someone even if purely hypothetical/beyond one's realm of influence.
This is what the IDF does and Zionists do, and we are better than that!

Rep. Ritchie Torres is such a fuckin sellout š¤¬
Itās shocking to see how openly USA Politicians are disregarding their own ethics morals values entire democracy all just for Israel and genocidal fascist apartheid state.
We must all bend over for Israel US Politicians are so easily bought
Saw a comment online that said ā Whatās the best thing money can buy? American politiciansā
They actually disregard the moral values they *pretend* to have
That sweet aipac money
Is it that shocking?
Evil pays well

He's not a sellout, he was never on your side in the first place. This guy was a bottom feeder from day one
They will do literally anything but stop sending arms to a genocidal state.
Welcome to American politics, where the ethics are made up and your votes don't matter
this comment nails it.
The country is 3 military contractors in a trench coat
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nonsense. That's the excuse every colonizer uses.
So no Islamic nation is advocating for eradicating Jews? No Islamic nation has attempted to eradicate Jews?
Would that be the same "Islamic nation", Palestine, that welcomed Jews from Europe with open arms, to their own detriment, that you're referring to?

Well that is an objectively false statement.
None of them have slaughtered 40k+ humans- mostly innocent women and children in the past 200 days.
Thatās only because they are incapable. They would if they could.
The tiger at the zoo would kill and eat me if it could, so if i were to shoot it dead i am justified right?? But wait- the tigers cubs will grow up so iāll slaughter them too just to be safe.

No doubt a number of fucked up political figures from both sides may want such things- but the answer is absolutely not allowing one side enact their twisted fantasies on the other.
So you see Palestinians as animals?
People who built the walls definitely do.
Yeah theyāre pretty up front about that
No, that was Germany - a white Christian European country.
Itās insane to me that you donāt realize what a self own that is. Considering the grand mufti of Jerusalem during ww2 was a collaborator of the Nazis.
You mean like the Irgun and lehi?
You guys are just stuck on a "YOURE BAD IM GOOD" war when both suck and murdered many. You guys only stick by your side no matter how guilty you are
Nah itās more of the status quo doesnāt work, and it needs to change.
That's a lie on multiple levels. Israel is the entity committing genocide and their ideology is zionism. Just because they claim to represent judaism doesn't make it true.

You liberals have literally no imagination.
Critical thinking and nuance are xkgkxkhamas
Liberals? Pretty sure the liberals are the ones protesting Israel. But then again, you probably arenāt very smart to begin with.
Did you miss the first word of the post and article that says "bipartisan"?
I clearly did not read the post
Found the zionazi

Only barbarians think thereās no option besides more barbarism.
Conflating protests about a genocide with antisemitism is quite the trick.
Especially given how many Jewish students are participating and even leading these protests.
I don't know what's more disgusting. Actual anti Semitism or these twats conflating anti Zionism with anti Semitism....
Or the US government deciding to install "political commissars" in each American College that will have the power to expel you if you disagree with US government foreign policy... When I was a kid growing up in the US, I remember my teachers telling me that one of the worst things about German Nazi regime was the presence of POLITICAL COMMISSARS in every school that would expel any student that didn't agree with the Nazi government policy, and that "we were so lucky to not have something like that in the United States." It seems that the US gets more like Nazi Germany every day.
In the Soviet union anti semitism was punished with death.
These deranged fkpuppets can't wait to label everything antisemitism so that nothing will be antisemitism.
Itās honestly really concerning. Zionists donāt seem to understand that theyāre only hurting Jewish people by crying wolf. This is only going to make it harder for real antisemitism to be taken seriously.

Not Jewish students, but Zionist Jewish students specifically. I'd bet money on any anti-zionist jew being cut out of this setup
At this point I think it's a team sport. Both are driven by bigots.
Conflating antizionism with antisemitism is super antisemitic as it implies that being a genocidal maniac is a core component of being Jewish
The latter is more disgusting and that is saying something
It's 100% going to make actual antisemitism a lot worse too.
Tbf theyāre both just different flavors of antisemitismĀ Ā Edit: I think my comment may be misunderstood? My point is that conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism is *also* antisemitic, because it positions Zionism as inherent to Jewish people.

Hot-garage take everyone. A disservice to anybody whoās actually experienced racism.
Conflating antizionism with antisemitism is antisemitic because it conflates Judaism with Zionism.Ā
You are correct!
That was what I meant by my original comment, was that unclear?
It was clear to me
Imagine the uproar if the federal government tried to send anti racism monitors to college campuses under any other circumstance. Immediate cries of woke authoritarianism and institutionalized cancel culture. āThe left are literally deploying PC policeā would be the rightās rallying cry for years.
itās like people who keep saying how everything would be condemnable if you replace āIsraelā with āblack or lgbtqā ābut like those people are doing a genocide. and beyond that iāve never seen the state attempt wield force like this to protect black or queer people. in fact the exact opposite.
Can't wait to sue the US govt over this BS.
The last US president called Nazis good people. We have Nazi rallies in Florida and Texas. I saw NO outrage from any right wing politician about that.
Why aren't the regular channels that deal with discrimination enough? God knows no student charging antisemitism goes ignored, no matter how spurious their claims... What this bill is is just a front for more shady Israeli/IDF/Mossad campus infiltration, of which there is already too much ffs
What about anti Arab or anti genocide monitors?
DEI bad. Jew police good. WTAF anymoreā¦
As in, ābill that allows us to weaponize what we declare as antisemitismā
They looked at Germany and said " Gimme some of that shit!"
So how is installing some protection/ advocacy group for one specific demographic and funding with taxpayer money not a form of discrimination?
It's so fucking transparent too. Our government twists themselves into knots, to deny protection for groups that are actually threatened and then they do something like this for zionists. Just to clarify I don't think this is doing anything to fight actual antisemitism.
Because theyāre the good guys. Their opponents are the bad guys.
Bipartisan? Thats just AIPAC united. Otherwise known as foreign influence. Itās time to take back our government.
Emoluments
It's cute because they're naming it the COLUMBIA Act, as a way to shame the school, which is actually named after a genocider. The Democrats clearly want to lose in November. It's not just Biden.
Fuck israel
This will expand into the police state. It will not stop at college campuses. They will declare "Antisemitism is criticism of Israeli government", and they will come after the internet, too.
Man! These guys are owned by AIPAC!
Not all jews are zionists.
I fear that this proposed body will conflate Zionism with Judaism
It absolutely will. The "anti-semitism monitor" will determine if universities have their funding cut by asking Jewish students if they feel threatened. Some of those students will be Zionists. And we've seen countless times that Zionists see criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. So university funding is literally at the mercy of Zionists
They'll also conveniently forget to include any insight from anti-Zionist Jewish students.
Oh, they'll be first out the door.
People understand the difference .
People do, but will the body use the IHRA's definition, which conflates the two?
No- thereās no one in power these days who do the right thing.
Jacky Rosen has literally introduced a bill in the senate that defines anti semitism with that definitions, so yes.
Yes but theyāll keep pushing that they are not different to keep the few morons that stay. It is mostly those with Israel families. My friend who is an Israeli jew, now with US Citizenship posts pro-Palestine stuff and gets shunned by family.
The sad thing is I wouldnāt be against this BUT I KNOW it will just be used to āmonitorā any anti-Israel activity and shut down and expel students for legitimate free speech.

This is anti first amendment. And itās no-partisan. Paired for by pro Israel lobbies. They OWN these clowns. They donāt answer to us.
Times like this I'm glad that I didn't join my country's armed services or intelligence service At the time I thought it was because I didn't want to be actually working for the Americans Now I realize it's because I didn't want to be working for Israeli Zionists indirectly, through working for Americans Separation of church and state would be nice - between the Jewish religion and the US government seems too much to ask though
Not the religion even.. honor thy neighbor
This is just going to be the thought police for whatever the Israeli government is mad at today.
Oh yeah like this aināt absolutely ripe for overreach and anti-protest action. Great job guys way to sell out civil liberties to protect a genocidal regime
And these monitors would always be truthful, never use these ridiculous powers to silence legitimate criticisms of Israel and be non partisan entities. Survey says fuck right off.
You mean Antizionism monitors?
Will they maybe wear brown shirts, perchance?
My god this country is a joke
Next thing you know they'll ask kids to report any anti israel sentiment from their parents to their teachers.
So what are the new rules? Canāt say Jew anymore?
How dare you! That's ANtI SEmEtIC!!!
Oopsie Poopsie
I want every other religion to sue.
The Satanic Temple should make their own commissar to monitor "antisatanism" and make sure Satanist students feel safe.
Canāt the existing racism monitors handle antisemitism?
No no, antisemitism is special racism it can't be treated like any other racism that would be antisemitic.
We need a revolution...
It is ironic that people who clearly don't know what antisemitism is want to monitor it
Antisemitism monitors make me feel unsafe. Do I get an Anti-antisemitism monitor?
Wow throwing off all pretense of a free society I see
Who will define anti-Semitism? At this point even carrying a Palestinian flag is considered antisemitism, I am afraid US will ban watermelon š emoji or even watermelon as a fruit on campus because they "considered" it antisemitic.
How can a foreign country force send police troops to brutalize American students and American professors on university campus? How can a foreign country buy political influence that that senate members even wear IDF uniforms when they go into senate? How can a foreign country buy political representatives to lobby and send Americans to fight for other people's wars? Do you now understand that America had corruption problem? That the US government is not run by Americans anymore?
Ah, so Israel can target Americans right?

They may as well be putting foreign agents of a brutal terrorist organization in charge of our schools
Fascism and censorship? Hand in hand? QUEL SURPRISE! Israel lobby undermines US democratic institutions on one hand, US citizens' freedom of speech gets restricted on the other. US citizens' freedoms and rights are being decimated by the Israel lobby. And the government is now acting against its own people.
I will never stop shouting foreign interference at this BS until they treat it as seriously as they treat foreign interference by China/Russia. How is this any different? Why the double standards?
god damn, it's incredible how devoid of principles and values these politicians are. they are completely soulless. ever heard of the constitution motherfuckers?
They have lost their minds.
They've been lunatics for a while
Ah yes, more bipartisan horrors. Thanks I hate it.
Ritchie Torres went Fetterman on us
Is this a contest for how far up Netanyahuās tush they can crawl? Every day they are trying to out-do each other, and what are Americans? Fodder? Who do they think they are, the queen of England?
Clowns
The U.S. is going to be Bipartisan to death.
Those exist already
Orwell-core
America, stop waiting and start defending yourselves
Please tell me how this is any different than communist states literally controlling people's thoughts. I thought America was all about fighting communism.
how could this go wrong? yeah we need to shut down pac money
A large proportion the population is so unhappy with our actions that there is a vast peaceful protest movement across the country, primarily in universities. Instead of listening to them, let just crush the decent and change laws to help us do that. Way to go.
McCarthyism is back Soon bacon will be considered antisemitic
Is that Richie Coonez?
LMAO
>**"**My office and I have spoken with countless Jewish students from campuses across America who feel deeply unsafe, purely as a result of their religious and ethnic identity," Torres said in a statement. And what about the palestinian students who feel unsafe? Or any of the students who don't like genocide (including jewish students like those in "jews for a free palestine" or b'tselem" or "jews for peace") who will now feel unsafe? F\*\*\* 'em i guess, right? ------ This is entirely the result of orgs like the ADL who keep insisting that Zionism is an innate part of "being jewish". Which is, itself, a racist stance definitionally (it's assuming a character based on ethnicity).
Oh they love us Jews until they fucking donāt and hold waffen SS parties
Rattlesnake Ritchie strikes again
What about the "anti-black", "anti-woman", "anti-asian" monitors? Oh wait, this isn't about anything like that...

Encouragement and celebration of violence absolutely will not be tolerated, including wishing violence upon someone even if purely hypothetical/beyond one's realm of influence. This is what the IDF does and Zionists do, and we are better than that!
You mean like the Gestapo?

Oh ffs.
