Quite a thing for *Benjamin Netanyahu* and his supporters to allege misuse of funds.
Netanyahu's aim is "to rewrite history" about October 7, says Einav Zangauker. He seeks to "deter all the families of October 7 from demanding the truth about the failures through [the establishment of] a state commission of inquiry". #investigateoctober7

Hostage mother says political campaign targets families, alluding to PM's 'poison machine'
According to Einav Zangauker, the Campaign's Goal Is to 'Rewrite History' and 'Tarnish the Struggle That Caused Trump to Force a Deal on Netanyahu and Hamas'

Einav Zangauker and other hostage family members are facing a smear campaign backed by Netanyahu, who'd like them all to just disappear and stop calling for accountability via a state commission of inquiry to investigate the failures of October 7.

Knesset passes preliminary vote to annex Jerusalem-adjacent settlement city Maaleh Adumim. Netanyahu worked and failed to prevent the vote in a sign of how he sees the (very low) tolerance Trump has for annexation now. Lapid didn’t object to the measure in order to embarrass Bibi. 🤦♂️

There's nothing at all wrong with being Palestinian, and using "Palestinian" in this way is deeply racist against Palestinians, but it is also antisemitic, because it defines Jewishness as something that can be granted and removed for political reasons.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

I was curious and just looked up the monthly listeners of Bad Bunny and Lee Greenwood on Spotify to see just how absurd and bad Faith this suggestion is…
Bad Bunny has ~80 million.
Lee Greenwood has less than 500 thousand.
These losers are just mad that they’re no longer the target demographic.

The inability to think of anyone other than Lee Greenwood as an alternative to Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl is peak robot brain. Imagine thinking he has appeal in any capacity. 99% of MAGA couldn’t tell you a Lee Greenwood song that’s not God Bless the USA.

I really don’t think the Israel MFA understands the difference between this statement from Mamdani and one from Hamas. Because if they did they’d see how shockingly stupid their own statement is.

I wish I weren’t still filled with this alienating rage, that the rage wasn’t so layered, that I hadn’t had to face so many maimed and murdered children so early on in fatherhood, that so many outsiders would let their own rage at massacred children excuse dehumanizing others’ murdered children.

If your response to Jewish people being stabbed to death and mowed down by a car in Manchester is “Gaza” you’re a charlatan and an antisemite and you need to get in the fucking bin.
I’ve had enough. Jews have had enough.
And you’re no ally of the Palestinian people if you behave like this.
