Anyone who supports what Hamas did in Israel might be a psychopath. But what about those who are asking questions about what “supporting Israel” looks like? Are they in bed with the terrorists? Are they “on the wrong side of history?”Wrong Speak Publishing is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Glenn Greenwald went over a segment on Tucker v. Shapiro. Shapiro attempted to eviscerate Tucker for posing questions like you do. We have a completely open border so we don't know who is flooding in, our gov't lied completely to us about COVID-19, and there is something wonky about the 6b to Iran. Supposedly the money came from frozen assets so it was their money, but that does not discount that Iran was behind the attack. I have a nephew who just graduated from college and was in ROTC. At first, he was to be deployed to Germany, and his mother feared Ukraine, but now it will be the Middle East. His buddy is already in Jordan. Shapiro cast aspersions that Tucker's questioning our response is like saying the US can't walk and chew gum. I agree with Shapiro we can walk and chew gum. But the walking and chewing for me means I can be horrified by the evil perpetrated, and I can be fearful of a US response that brings about WWIII.
I wish more people could be this introspective. There are way too many out there who didn't know jack about the Israel/Palestine situation 10 minutes ago who are dogmatic shills for one side or the other. Most people need to sit this out. Sure condemn the terrorists attacks and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza's civilians (I am not so sure Israel is indiscriminately bombing), but all the useless idiots on either side must consider that in the bigger picture, they are being played. Ask questions, learn the best you can, but resist the tribal urge to take sides. The only side is humanity.
Serious question: where were you when govt officials and media were scapegoating Orthodox communities in New York, New Jersey, and Chicago and calling it “health and safety”?
Because I was calling it out as the veiled anti-Semitism that it was, and I heard very few voices of any ilk joining me.

Spoiler: WWIII was declared and waged against citizens all over the globe in March 2020 :)

Thank you, I feel very much like that to.
I wouldn’t waste your time - this is second rate journalism. Substack has so much more to offer.
