The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

By bringing that dispute to the forefront again, it reopened the rupture between those two candidates. So it’s also not surprising that Stevens went back to criticizing El-Sayed’s position on the issue as well.

I have only seen that ad on TYT. I don't think it, by itself, reopened the rift. Stevens is demanding El-Sayed renounce that ad, and everything Tucker Carlson has said, and everything that El-Sayed has said, and, as noted, she just returned from another trip to Israel, before she started barking.

El-Sayed's message, during this campaign, is about serving the people of Michigan, (implicitly not serving a foreign country).

Most of the third party ads against him are from SLF, which is funded by ardently pro-Israel people.

Most of Rogers' campaign ads of late, have transitioned from "he doesn't like football" to "he's a MOOOOOSLIM". Trump himself has called El-Sayed an "Islamist terrorist".

El-Sayed is endorsed by the Wayne County Executive, who is also former Wayne County Sheriff and Chief of Detroit PD, and the Wayne County Prosecutor. These people worked with him for years. They know his nature. He's no more a "terrorist", than I am.

Did you watch the videos of Jonathan Greenblatt that I posted? He openly talks about the ADL's mission to influence government and education, both college and K-12, to indoctrinate everyone to be pro-Israel.

Recall that, while AIPAC was funding Stevens in the Dem primary, then flipped to funding the Repub in the midterm, they also funded a GOP challenger to incumbent Thomas Masse, a conservative Repub in Kentucky. Masse lost the primary, so AIPAC has removed an Israel skeptic from the US government.

I grew up in the same USian culture most of us did. The Israelis were the plucky underdog that always managed to outsmart those trying to destroy them. Now, with Israel killing civilians in the tens of thousands, and bribing US pols, I'm not so sure.
