lol they're just now finding out, I could have told you this 20 years ago. These same lawyers bury their head in the sand and keep voting Democrat because the main stream media convinced them that Donald Trump is the devil. Well, now we're seeing who truly hates Jews & Israel, the same people these lawyers thought were their friends.

The fox has been in the hen house for a very long time. This is the consequence of voting for Democrats. Welcome to reality folks.

And what’s wild is that Bari, Suzi, Nellie & Wiseman will all continue to promote & vote for the very party that backs this flavor of antisemitism. The vast majority of these union lawyers are neck deep in the latest anti-Israel cult movement & they'll most like be the folx who’ll be overseeing the line formations leading to the box cars.......all while standing proud in their virtue. Its just hard to intellectually reconcile the progressive/leftist mind virus that seems to be all over everything.

This is outrageous. I was a union chairman for years in Chicago, at the Sun-Times Newspaper Guild. This kind of behavior from union officials like me, or our professional staff like our executive director or attorney? I would have asked the board to fire anyone who did this to a member. Unions exists to protect members, not slime them. What a shitty union.

The inmates are clearly running the asylum.

The hate was always there, festering beneath the surface. Now people are emboldened to let their true feelings out. The distinction between "Jew" and "Zionist" is a clever one being pushed by media and "influencers". If you're a Jew, you're okay (you will passively allow yourself to by killed) If you're a Zionist (you dare to fight back for your country and your rights) you're a Nazi and they are justified in dehumanizing you and killing you. So, either way, they now are justified to exterminate Jews. I fear this hatred will only grow bolder.

My first reaction is a union for lawyers? What? Make sure the workplace is free if deadly paper cut injuries? Not like these lawyers couldn’t quit tomorrow and pull down $200k literally anywhere in the private sector.I just don’t understand why unions are necessary in many of the places they appear.

The fact that they are so focused on this issue just bolsters my point.

Two points here: 1) The perceived need by every organization throughout the country to make a "statement" about every single event in the world has become ridiculous. My employer is no different. I work for a mid-sized nonprofit, and every time somebody passes gas the CEO feels like she has to weigh in. Seriously, who cares what these places think, and how did they become so self-important that they think we do care? 2) I learned long ago that you don't have to be particularly intelligent to be an attorney. When I went to film school 20 years ago we had several aspiring screenwriters who were also successful attorneys. Half of them couldn't string together a coherent sentence. So I guess it shouldn't surprise us when some of them espouse ignorant opinions.

Not just the legal union, teacher unions are also attacking pro-Israel educators.

Don't redact their names. Let's see who the apologists for Hamas terrorist's are.

We are only a short distance from the woke liberals who support Hamas and Hezbo from demanding Jews be labeled and expelled from everything. The deranged minds of these freaks are very dangerous and must be defeated. Sickening MFs.

The freaks demanding the dissolution of Israel because it's a "Euro Colonial Settler Project" must, to be intellectually honest, also demand the dissolution of Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria formed the same exact way: by the Mandate system formed after WWI. Get rid of one state, you must get rid of all five. But the freaks are not intellectually honest, just Jew-bashers, so here we are.

For those unfamiliar, the Western alliance that won WWI formed the League of Nations to prevent further world wars from occurring. To that end, the League proposed the victors give the vast lands of the conquered Ottoman Empire to local residents to form sovereign states run by locals. In other words, the West proposed not colonizing, but DEcolonizing, a vast swath of Middle East.

The French and British (Americans said Nah, we're going home) could easily have said "we're keeping these vast lands as war booty, thanks." But it agreed instead to became administrators of the Mandate system, which was created solely to distribute Ottoman land to the locals.

(Fuckin' white colonial invaders guys, always stealing the locals' land, right? /s/ )

Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria became sovereign states through this Mandate system. The final land to be Mandated was Palestine, which was more complicated for two reasons:

1. Palestine contained two indigenous peoples who needed states: Jews and Arabs, not only Arabs. (Why two peoples? Recent DNA analysis suggests both people descended from Iron Age Canaan. Jews kept their tribal name intact for 3,500 years, but the name of the other Canaanite tribe of Palestine disappeared in the 600s AD, replaced with "Arabs" due to the Islamic Arab Conquest of the Middle East. Like Palestine's Jews, who are a mixture of Canaan descendants and Jewish immigrants, Palestine's Arabs are a mix of Canaan descendants and Arab immigrants.

2. Neither Arabs nor Jews wanted to live in a single state and risk being be governed by the other tribe. Each wanted to steer his/her own ship. So the United Nations, which replaced the League after WWII, proposed the Partition: gave half the land to Palestine's Jews for their state and the other half to Palestine's Arabs for their state. Nifty, neat, moral, and above all, AS LEGAL AS THE MAPS THAT MADE THE ARAB NATIONS THAT NOBODY BITCHES ABOUT NOW OR EVER.

Jews said yes and declared Israel. Arabs said no and declared war, invading Israel to destroy the Jewish state, steal its land, and make both halves the Arab State of Palestine.

Fortunately, Arabs lost, and Israel is with us. Unfortunately, Arabs never wised up. The failed Arab invasions of Israel of 1967 and 1973, the failed Arab Intifadas, the successful mass murder of Israel athletes at the Munich Olympics, the failed skyjackings, the ongoing Hamas and Hezbollah military strikes on Israel, the ongoing Hamas rocket and arson attacks on Israel, and now the Hamas slaughter of October 8, along with all the rejections by Arabs of a two-state solution, all stem from a century of Arab refusal to accept that Jews had as much right to a state in Palestine as Arabs did.

Fuck the freaks. Palestine is free from river to sea, and its name is Israel. Palestinians and their hand-holders don't like it, Israel doesn't give a damn. If Palis want a state, they can stop their century of war, go with peace, negotiate a state with the sovereign of the entire parcel, Israel, and live their lives in peace and comfort. If they don't want to do that, they can die. The pogrom of October 8 gives Palis two stark choices: peace or death. They should choose wisely.

This compared to TFP reporting from Israel earlier this week. Israel needs to go finish the job and eliminate Hamas, and to hell with leftist clowns like these.

Aside from misspelling Israel multiple times (same lawyer?), they've kind of laid bare their agenda. Including getting rid of the USA.

The progressive wing is dangerous to America. They are telling us this.

I find it amusing that some progressives seem to think what's most likely a liberal lawyer is somehow "trumpian" and "right wing"

The pathetic irony is the mission of the organization is going to flail because the bashers really don't give "2 shits" about the people they pretend to care about. They'll lose lawyers and funding.

But they do "care" about a society that's misogynistic, antisemitic and homophobic. Which believes in suppressing voters, suppressing speech, suppressing the press, suppressing peaceful protest. That's the society they are elevating, those are their real values.

The cognitive dissonance is staggering!!

More proof that leftists and progressives are not only deranged, bigoted ignoramuses, they’re also borderline illiterate.

I'm Jewish and politically conservative. These same people clutching their pearls over their union's antisemitism are the same people who think white supremacism and Trump is the biggest threat to this country. Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming.
