Israels foreign minister now says it's antisemitic to oppose Israel's illegal settlement expansion.

Israel cheapens the concept of antisemitism, throwing Jews abound the world under the bus to advance its agenda of land grab.

What a huge disappointment Google has turned out to be, in so many ways.

A sitting Republican Congressman in good standing said this, tweeted it out from his own account, and not a peep of outrage.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
