  • GOP Releases “Stand With Israel” Video

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 7:17pm EDT

    This video actually went viral before all the recent fighting. A settler admits that he’s stealing someone’s house, but then he kind of shrugs and says that if he didn’t steal it, someone else would. In that he’s right this is a policy problem, not an individual one. pic.twitter.com/yJJ5w6XS9l — Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) May 20, […]

  • Conservatives Cancel AP Journalist For Criticizing Israel

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 6:20pm EDT

    The mainstream Right is hopeless on Israel. We’re against ethnonationalism … EXCEPT in Israel. We’re America First … EXCEPT that means always putting Israel First like when we assassinate Iranian generals or attack Syria with Tomahawk missiles for Bibi Netanyahu. We’re American nationalists … EXCEPT when it comes to sending people like Jonathan Pollard back […]

  • NY Mag: Georgia Struggles With Its Giant Neo-Confederate Embarrassment

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 2:48pm EDT

    Ed Kilgore has a new article which is a reminder of why Brian Kemp is governor of Georgia. New York Magazine: “All around the country, memorials to the racist Lost Cause of the Confederacy are coming down or, in the case of military facilities named after Confederate leaders, being redesignated. Many monuments, typically erected during […]

  • Ezra Klein: Violent Crime Is Spiking. Do Liberals Have An Answer?

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 2:04pm EDT

    LISTEN HERE. Judging by where violent crime is soaring, I think it is safe to say the answer is “no.” “Early estimates find that in 2020, homicides in the United States increased somewhere between 25 percent and nearly 40 percent, the largest spike since 1960, when formal crime statistics began to be collected. And early estimates indicate that the increase […]

  • Rising: How “Journalists” Came To Love The Spy State

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 11:58am EDT

    What do you do when your own government starts treating you as a domestic enemy of the state on the basis of your political and cultural views? How do you respond to being treated as a national security threat for voting against Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden? That’s where we are at now. Matt Taibbi: […]

  • Newsweek: After Its Populist Moment, The GOP Returns to Old Orthodoxies

    Occidental Dissent - May 21st 2021 10:20am EDT

    Pedro Gonzalez nails it. In 2021, this website has been angry with Joe Biden and the Democrats, increasingly optimistic about Republican voters who seem to be coming around and deeply skeptical of Republican politicians who haven’t changed at all. So, while I have fiercely criticized Joe Biden, I haven’t been willing to say that voting […]

  • Palestine 101

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 11:48pm EDT

  • Jimmy Dore: Caught On Video: Israel Youth’s Shocking Bloodthirsty Opinions

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 7:33pm EDT

    A cease fire has been declared. Israel’s public image has been severely damaged though. Jimmy Dore and Vaush have both discovered this video. The vast majority of Americans have no idea what OUR GREATEST ALLY is really like because the media has always kept them in the dark.

  • Julius Krein: Can Conservatism Be More Than a Grudge?

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 6:13pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. There is a lot to digest here. As we have pointed out a hundred times now, the electorate has resorted over the past 15 years or so with the overall effect being that the Republican Party has become more working class while the Democrats have become more […]

  • Russell Moore Is Finally Out At ERLC

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 5:44pm EDT

    Good news and the Southern Baptist Convention usually don’t go together, but it is worth sharing the good news that Russell Moore is out at ERLC and is headed to a significantly smaller platform at Christianity Today. Washington Post: “Prominent Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore, who blasted former president Donald Trump and his evangelical fans, […]

  • Poll: More Than Half of GOP Voters Now Dislike Cheney After Her Ouster From Leadership

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 3:24pm EDT

    Nothing has been accomplished by all the simping in the media for Liz Cheney except improving her public image among Democrats. Newsweek: “Republican Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney is nearly three times more popular among Democratic voters than Republican voters, according to a recent poll. While only 15 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters view Cheney […]

  • Poll: 72% of Israelis Believe Gaza Operation Should Continue

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 2:36pm EDT

    The overwhelming majority of Israelis want to continue killing Palestinian women and children with American weapons.

  • Newsweek: Hundreds of Princeton Faculty, Students Sign Letter Opposing Israel’s ‘Jewish Supremacy’

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 1:50pm EDT

    It is not every day that you wake up to headlines like this one. Newsweek: “Hundreds of faculty members and students from Princeton University signed an open letter condemning the continued attacks by Israeli armed forces against Palestinian people in Gaza and expressed opposition to “Jewish supremacy.” The letter, which appeared in the independent student newspaper, […]

  • Tucker Carlson: “Equity” is Anti-White Racism

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 10:54am EDT

    Woke progressivism is distinct from progressive liberalism. Ibram X. Kendi is guru of the new governing ideology of the Democratic Party. It is the liberal part which has been jettisoned and which has been replaced by critical social justice which neatly divides the world into oppressor and oppressed races. The cishet White male is the […]

  • National Journal: New Poll Warns Democrats About Overreach

    Occidental Dissent - May 20th 2021 9:44am EDT

    If you turn on PMC TV, you will notice that they are weirdly obsessed with the “insurrection” and “GOP infighting” and Liz Cheney and Trump. The political play here is that Democrats want to divide Trumpists (80% of the Republican Party) from non-Trumpists (20% of the Republican Party and hang onto suburban voters in the […]

  • Geraldo Rivera Unloads On FOX News Panel

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 10:05pm EDT

    Do you know who the real victim is here? Bibi Netanyahu is the victim who expands his territory. Israel is the victim of Hamas and the Palestinians crammed like sardines in the Gaza Strip.

  • Jimmy Dore: Former New York Times Journalist Approves Of Killing Children

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 5:30pm EDT

    Exactly. This is what you call Jewish lies and hypocrisy. Assad was a monster who was killing his own people. That’s why we had to occupy his country, fund a devastating civil war, impose crippling sanctions on Syria and sent a carrier strike group into the eastern Mediterranean to shoot Tomahawk missles at him. We […]

  • Republicans Suck Bibi Netanyahu’s Balls Without Even Being Asked!

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 3:54pm EDT

    Everything appears to be normal on the GOP side.

  • Bibi Netanyahu Tells Joe Biden To Suck His Balls

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 3:11pm EDT

    We told you so. No other country in the world could get away with what OUR GREATEST ALLY is doing. Yahoo News: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday said that he’s “determined” to continue the offensive in Gaza, rebuffing President Joe Biden’s call for an immediate and significant “de-escalation” in the fighting.

  • Rising: New York Times Journalist Admits Biased Coverup Of Lab Leak Hypothesis

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 12:22pm EDT

    Racism was the real pandemic. The “far right” was the real threat. The lab leak theory was false because the people who believed it hate Democrats. Donald McNeil, Jr.: “In early spring 2020, I reported an article for The New York Times on which I put the tentative headline: “New Coronavirus Is ‘Clearly Not a […]

  • VICE: Is Trump Still The Future Of The GOP?

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 11:15am EDT

  • Don Lemon, Seething With Jealousy, Wrist Slaps Joe Rogan

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 10:49am EDT

    Joe Rogan got a $100m contract from Spotify. He has the most popular podcast on their platform –yet he says straight white men are being silenced. What am I missing? Is he not straight & White? Why is he playing the victim? I warned y’all a long time ago about Rogan. #DonLemon pic.twitter.com/sTHT0s0314 — The […]

  • James Carville Continues To Warn Democrats About Wokeness

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 9:59am EDT

    Since James Carville started speaking out about this last month, it is worth noting that the demise of the Labour Party in Britain has only further convinced the GOP to stick with this line of attack. There were also those races in suburban Dallas where Joe Biden won but the backlash against critical race theory […]
