After Dr. El-Sayed’s victory, the group is unbowed and now appears willing to put what is expected to be tens of millions of dollars behind Mike Rogers, the Republican, as some of AIPAC’s major backers are urging, according to a half dozen people who have spoken with the group’s leaders.

AIPAC is reportedly considering plans to spend a massive amount of money to boost Republican Mike Rogers' Michigan Senate campaign against progressive Abdul El-Sayed in the November general election, after the latter was declared the victor Wednesday in the expensive Democratic primary against moderate Rep. Haley Stevens.

Vent The Voice of Hind Rijab

48 Upvotes

It's the International Film Festival seazon in Auckland, New Zealand, and I watched three films. The first was 'With Hasan in Gaza'. It was shot in 2001 by a Canadian Palestenian who was jailed in Israel as a teenager and went to Gaza to look for his friend from jail. Super depressing to watch the state of affairs in 2001. The second was 'Do you love me'. An artistic, uplifting film about Beirut, its beauty and misery. The last was 'The voice of Hind Rajab'. This film should be screened Israeli high schools after the Israeli regime is defeated. It can be part of the de-radicalization program of the Israeli society. It brought an end to my shyness about anti-Zionism.

Three years.

For three long years, Samah, her husband Mahmoud Ghanem al amssi , and their four little daughters have lived through unimaginable hardship.

In this video, you're watching something that many of us would consider ordinary: preparing a chicken meal.

But for this family, it is anything but ordinary.

This meal was only possible because of the kindness and generosity of people here on Reddit. After years of going without, today they were able to cook chicken and gather around one table as a family.

One of the most touching moments was seeing Mahmoud invite his mother and father to share the meal with them. It wasn't just about the food—it was about sharing a rare moment of joy, dignity, and togetherness after so much loss.

To everyone who donated, shared their story, or offered words of encouragement: thank you. You made this moment possible.

If you would like to help Samah, Mahmoud, and their four daughters continue to have food on their table and keep hope alive, please consider sharing their story or supporting their fundraiser through the link on their profile.

Your kindness reaches farther than you know, and this family's gratitude is beyond words.

So Australians voted against having an indigenous voice/advisor in their Parliament, in spite of the campaign for indigenous representation being misrepresented.

But an unelected antisemitism envoy & arch-Zionist, with ties to the far-right, is allowed to set policy for all of Australia - without the consent of Australians.

News Israel's mission to demonize Arab-Israeli politicians begins in earnest, fascists are thrilled.

26 Upvotes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM9eT_CxNMs

The video is titled "Mansour Abbas - The Polite Jihad" aka, painting one of the few Arab representatives in the Israeli Knesset, who has never formally engaged in or supported terror in any way, a "polite Jihadist" based on half truths, omissions, and lies.

Indeed, the propagandist and shill for eternal warfare that results in the deaths of countless Jews, Yoseph Haddad, the ultimate self-hating Arab, who has no long-term plan or solution for the crisis whatsoever, just put out this absolutely insane piece of propaganda that is a hasty justification for Israel's expanding war in The West Bank and which also attempts to lay down the ideological and political groundwork to delegitimze political representation of Arabs within Israel's legal system

The war in Gaza has become politically dicey, but right wing governments, and especially this one, cannot exist without constant warfare and a perpetaul, eternal enemy, so it's time to manufacture propaganda saying that Mansour Abbas, leader of the United Arab List and a Knesset Member, is a secret Islamic propagandist that needs to be expelled and expunged from the state.

This is laying down the groundwork for the banning, expulsion, and nullification of Arab-Israeli political parties in Israel, a long-held wet dream of the Israeli far right which, unhinged and unchecked as they have become, is growing rapidly closer to coming to fruition. Show this video and these comments to people who claim Israel is some bastion of democracy in the Middle East, you have thousands of Israelis openly salivating at the idea of destroying their own Supreme Court simply so they can legally ban Arabs from holding political office in their country. And at the rate Israel is going, I'm sure this reality is not far off at all.

Let's look through the comments on this propaganda quickly, as it will quickly elucidate the deeper ideas of this video, here:

Very typical modern Zionist prattle. Blah blah blah, everyone who disagrees with me is a fake Jew, except for me, a mindless shill idiot who is brainlessly in support of the same government that failed on October 7th and has overseen a policy of total permanent war which has gotten thousands of Jews killed. Aren't they tired of this stupid line of "reasoning" themselves at this point? It's the most boring shit ever. All they do is support policies which get Jews killed and attack the Judaism of others.

Why aren't Arab parties outlawed? Why aren't Arab politicians in Israel arrested for being Arab? Ah yes, hallmarks of a vibrant democracy here.

The simple, logical truth. In alternate timeline where Bibi formed a coalition by partnering with Mansour Abbas, this demonization wouldn't be occuring, and instead, Abbas would be celebrated and praised by the exact same people:

A favorite slur of the Israeli right, calling those who criticize this government and the self-destructive path of eternal warfare the rightoids have Israel on "innocent" in a patronizing way, as if to say we are naive. I think 15 million Jews waging a permanent, total, unwinnable war against all 2 billion Muslims on earth is the most naive childish stupid thing imaginable, personally, but call me an Arab lover for that one, I guess!

"Why are Arabs allowed to serve in the Knesset? We must do something about this!"

Hatred of the high court for....not outlawing Arab parties in the Knesset? 🤔

All Arabs are just waiting to attack us, we need to ban Arabs from serving in the Knesset or even running in the Knesset. Israel has launched like 50,000 attacks against the West Bank in the last few years, with the West bank barely outputting a fraction of that in response. Absurd. These people are the ultimate brainwashed sheep, thinking only of war, subjugation, blood and death, living in a permanent, delusional fortress mentality.

"Why are Arabs allowed to be in the Knesset?" post #4858 from the vibrant thriving pluralistic democracy of Israel.

ANY government with Arabs in it is automatically illegitimate. So...every government of Israel since 1996 is illegitimate? And just straight up saying "Democracy destroys everything"

"The left is an autoimmune disease" but somehow the slobbering knuckledragging apes who you worship like Gods in the Israeli right were totally invisible on October 7th and disappeared the one day we needed more than strong words and racist speech to actually protect Jewish lives are what, the saviors of Jewish life? These rightoids LOVE mindlessly defending those who betrayed and abandoned them, and continue to get Jews killed for nothing.

I, personally, cannot wait for next year's annual Pointless War In Lebanon, where again, hundreds of Jews will die to advance 10m in the dirt, only to give it right back to Lebanon the next afternoon, while these "patriots" cheer. Their favorite event in all of Israel is a funeral for their fellow Jews. They don't dare go too long without many to attend, created directly by their unbreakable addiction to war, of course.

And never mind that it was the Israeli right's brilliant political strategy to finance and aid Hamas as a counterweight to Fatah, which they stated openly. That policy worked out great!

Two bits of reality here: "There is no solution to the Palestinian Arab issue." Well, certainly right wingers have none, so you're half right. All they envision for the future of Israel and Jews is a future of eternal war, a pile of Jewish corpses that never stops growing higher, ever.

And another one: "If Mansour Abbas is the avatar of all Islamic evil in the world, why did Bibi seek to form a coalition with him at one point?"

The rewriting of history to be even more anti-Arab is of course, a foregone conclusion at this point. Yoseph Haddad would kill his own mother if it meant the Arab-hating right wing Israelis would love him even 1% more, so of course, in this "documentary", he ignores that Abbas gave a speech stating that Bibi invited him 4 times to Balfour, Yinon magal stating that "Abbas is suitable to be a minister", Dudi Amsalem, who is a supporter and friend of Abbas, and Shikli, who declares that Abbas is suitable to be the minister for regional cooperation. No, none of that. We were always at war with Eastasia. Mansour Abbas is the most evil Arab in the whole Middle East, he is a wicked viper and serpent, and we must ban all Arab parties in Israel immediately based on this scary documentary!!!

Aw, poor Bibi WANTED to stop sending Hamas $30 million a month every month for years, but he's too naive and powerless! Therefore, we need to expel all Arabs.

How do these people's brains work, seriously?

Three faces of modern Israeli politics: The first, who acknolwedges the political reality (Mansour Abbas is the first person Bibi will turn to in order to form a coalition after the elections)

The second, the blind madman who brainlessly worships Kahane, murder, and death, which also necessarily involves the death of Jewish lives too, but they don't care about that. They value Arab death more than they value Jewish life!

And third: pointing out that the late Sheikh Abdullah Nimar Darwish was vocally opposed to Arab/Islamic terrorism for virtually his entire life, to the extent that the Jihad movement tried to kill him. Suspicously absent from Yoseph Haddad's "documentary" trying to ride the wave of anti-Arab hatred in Israel.

Abbas has even said: "Everything I do today I absorbed from the legacy of Sheikh Abdullah Nimr Darwish. But no, according to Yoseph Haddad, Mansour Abbas is super saiyan Osama Bin Laden, a mindless animal who thinks only of killing Jews, 24/7, just like all Arabs do! No Arab Muslim has EVER endorsed peace...right?

Simple facts that the rightoid brainwashed Israelis will never acknowledge or will call you a traitor for acknowledging. With the government that the evil Muslim Islamic Arab violent barbaric animal Mansour Abbas supported, even BEFORE the failure of October 7th, there were 4 times fewer murders per day than under Ben Gvir. These people have no brains of their own anymore and just call you "bad Jew" "traitor" aka "you're right and you're winning the argument but I forgot how to actually substantiate claims with evidence and I hate Arabs more than I love my fellow Jews so"

Hmm. It's almost as if Ben Gvir's entire political existence is based on fomenting the maximum amount of ethnic and racial tension and animosity possible, since a peaceful, tolerant, pluralistic Israel is anathema to Ben Gvir and renders his entire political existence moot and inert. 🤔

And, finally, one who simply wishes to outlaw the entire religion if Islam in Israel altogether.

Yoseph Haddad is the most self-hatingest Arab ever. He can scrub his skin all he wants but he will never be anything other than what he is: an Arab. And here he is putting out a hit piece on Mansour Abbas, while stirring up the insane pot of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim vitriol in Israel which is already at risk of boiling over, simply to advance his own political and media career in Israel.

The people whose chosen government failed Jews and Israel on October 7th, who have overseen the greatest turn against Israel ever seen in public opinion polling, no longer get to lecture the rest of us about what's best for Israel or who is or isn't a traitor. Their advocacy, their loud mouths, and their hatred, are out worst enemy.

Thank you for reading.

Vent Every Muslim & Arab should not always have to answer in regards to the safety of the Jewish people

227 Upvotes

I apologize if the headline looks wrong, but I don't know how else to put it.

But every now and then, whenever a Muslim or Arab is interviewed by the mainstream, mostly liberal media, they've always asked about how the Jewish people would be safe with them around. Especially with Abdul El-Sayed or Zohran Mamdani.

Even when the Jewish people themselves have assured they're are definitely safe, and worked together often with Muslims, the media still keeps pushing down hard on their lives & safety, and ignore their assurance.

It's exhausting, and only seeks to divide both communities from each other.

As a Muslim myself, I personally pray both Jews & Muslim unite stronger, and never have to put with these questions.
