Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the liberal Zionist group J Street, defends criticisms of Israel:
"If we want Jews to be safe, and if we truly desire peace in Israel and Palestine, we must defend the distinction between political argument and racial hatred."

No, Antizionism Isn’t Always Antisemitism
When every critique of Israel is branded as antisemitism, the word loses its meaning — and real antisemitism actually grows.

It's quite possible that Whiskey Pete 1) is too stupid and 2) has no aides to figure out he needs to coordinate with LAPD, in which case this will become a clusterfuck very quickly.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.

Now would be a fantastic time for him to condemn the use of the military against civilians.

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.

My friend was going to come over today. She called to tell me she can't in tears.
She said ICE was at the intersections by her house. She can't leave because she's undocumented. Her kids are citizens. She's afraid to let them out of the house because she's afraid they'll be targeted regardless.
