Today Ukraine reportedly hit over 40 strategic aircraft that were carrying out missile strikes on Ukrainian cities. My source: “This is absolutely unprecedented, one of the biggest losses of Russian army. I think even bigger than ‘Moskva’ sinking. Losses estimated at over $2B.”

Reminder: Netanyahu does not speak for all or most Jews. His policies are horrifying. Your hatred of him and what he’s doing is one thing. Hating all Jews because of what he and his nightmare government are doing is anti-Semitism. Blaming all Jews is lazy and as old as time

Agreed. As I've said before, my perspective as someone who isn't Jewish, watching this done by people who also aren't Jewish, is that the intent is to make Jews take the blame. The Trump admin's statement about why they just attacked Harvard international students fits that to the letter.
