The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called "terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money." Yon was speaking at a "Take Back Our Border" convoy in Texas.

In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.

Oh this is good.

Maybe we'll see some of that censorship put to good use, now.

I feel like we need to stop using the term antisemitism and split it into two categories. You have the Nazi's hate speech vs the Israeli government wants to justify killing Palestinian children.

You literally have to read the articles to figure out in which way it's being used.

And I really wish the Israeli government would stop making me feel I need this distinction.

I’m getting worried.

I planned a vacation to TX for my birthday in early April, because it happens to coincide with the eclipse, and Dallas will be one of the best places to view it from.

So, since I had a lot of points to splurge on, I extended the vacation a bit and we’re going to fly into Houston, hang there for a bit, then spend my birthday weekend in Austin, then Dallas for the eclipse, and back down to Houston to fly home.

Lots of stuff I want to do in each city, and I know the cities are generally lean a bit more liberal, but I’m getting more concerned each day about actually spending my birthday and a monumental celestial event inside an actual civil war.

Your first mistake was planning to go to Texas.

Oh, what? No way.

Referring to every brown person as a terrorist is just making the word meaningless

That was fast. Fucking antisemites. If they don’t like the land of religious freedom they’re free to leave to wherever wants them.
