Your response to a swastika at a yeshiva is to condemn the mayor for condemning it? Because that might imply that antisemitism is a "real social phenomenon?" Yes, like other bigotries, it's a "real social phenomenon." If you don't believe me, ask the 1 million people who follow Nick Fuentes on this platform View quoted note β†’
It's astonishing how quickly the politics are moving. The Democrats now deserting @npub1ztdx...cv99 aren't supporters of Palestinian rights. They're ambitious politicians who see which way the winds are blowing. They don't fear @npub1ztdx...cv99. They fear being associated with @npub1ztdx...cv99. The political rules of the last almost half-century are changing before our eyes. View quoted note β†’
