1. Oh no, this is too bad. Darnit. Shit.

Shit

What the fuck.

Thanks or making it very easy for me to know who I am voting for now.

[RandySF]

2. Well, she did speak up for Palestinians.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Didnt she also support some radical democrat, dont remember her name

[chowder66]

5. Nina Turner. As did AOC and Sanders.

At least Porter didn't campaign for her.

[JohnSJ]

10. More important, at least Porter voted for the Democratic nominee, something Turner didn't

4. Someone needs to interview her now--or she needs to release a statement on

Netanyahu's attacks on the judiciary. If she does not, she can hang up the CA Senatorial election

My own qualifier is that I really like Katie Porter. That said and acknowledging that I have no vote, I strongly support Adam Schiff (and yes, I do so even though I support more women and POC in Congress) but his qualifications/experience are absolutely what is needed in the Senate.

6. Well fuck.

[dlk]

7. Given Netanyahu's fascist leaning and criminal behavior, this was a serious misstep by Porter

This, alone, had the potential to tank her Senate campaign. I’m a fan of Porter and this is very disappointing

8. How can somebody so smart do something so dumb?

She is clearly not being advised well by the foreign policy staffers.

9. "Mondoweiss" is a hate site

snip

Rather, I pointed out that, among other things, Weiss suggested (a) that Jews are more inclined to cheat than are non-Jews, and indeed Jews don’t even recognize it as cheating; (b) that the American non-Jewish establishment made some sort of deal with the Jews back in the 70s, in which Jews provided their economic prowess to the U.S. in exchange for support for the Israel lobby (indeed, that one is so ridiculous that my fingers rebelled at typing it); (c) Jewish media company CEOs force their Gentile employees to express support for Israel and (d) that Jews need to “understand our role” in causing the Holocaust because of the “power” we had.

Weiss now elaborates that he’s talking about Jewish economic power, as if the German Jew who started as a peddler and built his business into a chain of department stores wasn’t simply an individual Jewish businessman who found success, but instead part of a cabal of Jews using their “power” to undermine the Gentiles, who retaliated via the Holocaust.

These are all hateful things that we would all recognize as such if coming from the likes of David Duke. Weiss protests that he’s not anti-Semitic, but that wasn’t the point of the post. Rather, it was that he posted hateful things about Jews of the sort that one could find at the likes of the Vanguard News Network.

Is that because Weiss is anti-Semitic or is there some other motivation? Who cares. Just know that when you’re reading Mondoweiss, you’re reading a hate site.

11. Sure beats BDS as a lever to influence Israeli politics!

But seriously, I think Bibi is waking up to the dangers of dealing with the right wing of Israel's right wing... why else would he be “extremely generous both with his time and with his thoughts” in a meeting with an American liberal Zionist group?

12. mondoweiss is not a reliable source. It has an extremist agenda just as the Netanyahu followers do

but with the opposite agenda.

In other words, both groups have an agenda which is not looking for a peaceful solution
