A tweet was posted yesterday citing quite a few things. It was designed to evoke emotion. “While you were” managed to irritate me, as there are very literally nothing but distractions and misdirections everywhere, so when does she get off her high horse, eh?

She certainly seems to have a lot of points, but shall we get un-emotional about things and dig, including myself. Everything is a psyop, right? “We are the gatekeepers of all information, and by all we mean all”, right? Is this lady a psyop? We can’t know, though her picture is CGI, and I haven’t seen her posted here before. Let’s assume she could be a psyop. What could she be trying to invoke?
Let’s start with the “antisemitism laws”.
“In Texas it is against the law to criticize Israel. (Antisemitism laws)”
The relevant law was SB326, passed in response to Palestinian university protests - https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB326/id/3027400 - which, were those sparked by Soros funded organizations? Irrelevant for now, though. What does this law actually say? It’s an amendment to the state education code.
relating to the procedure for determining whether a student's violation of a public school's or public institution of higher education's student code of conduct was motivated by antisemitism.
In taking disciplinary action against a student for behavior that violates the institution's student code of conduct and that may reasonably be determined to have been motivated by antisemitism, an institution of higher education shall consider the definition of antisemitism provided by Section 448.001, Government Code, including the examples referenced in that term, as instructive in determining whether the student's behavior was motivated by antisemitism.
Well, ok. There is a pre-standing definition of antisemitism, then? Per Texas Code Section 448.001 (that’s 17, btw, my fellow Q-Tards) - https://texas.public.law/statutes/tex._gov't_code_section_448.001
Examples of antisemitism are included with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s “Working Definition of Antisemitism” adopted on May 26, 2016.
Here’s a fun one:
“Genocide” means any of the following acts committed with intent to wholly or partly destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group:
(C) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to wholly or partly cause the group’s physical destruction;
(D) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Do those things not apply to the current migration and vaccination debacles for Texans / Americans?
It’s one thing to complain that “there are now anti-semitism laws”, it’s another thing to actually bother to look at the bloody law and see what it says. Is there a way to leverage the fact that a definition of genocide and intentional ethnic replacement and anti-fertility measures are noted in law to go after some of the people doing such things? Are they not going after you? Do you have standing as a result, or are only “semites” able to be “genocided” or “physically destroyed as a national or ethnic group”? Wouldn’t that be discriminatory on the basis of race or ethnicity if those definitions didn’t apply to all ethnicities?
That’s just one claim from the post.
In Texas Jews can go to Rocket Mortgage, Quicken Loans, Bank of America, etc and receive interest free mortgage loans called Heter Iska from these public companies.
Interesting, what does that mean exactly?
I am Jewish and wish to obtain a mortgage with Rocket Mortgage. Does Rocket Mortgage have a Heter Iska that complies with the laws of Ribbis?
Yes, Rocket Mortgage has a Heter Iska that is approved by prominent leading Halachic authorities.
How Does It Work?
For any mortgage loan made to you by Rocket Mortgage as detailed on the note and all other mortgage loan documents that may violate the Laws of Ribbis, the mortgage loan will instead be structured as an investment.
In exchange for the mortgage funds, you will manage your real estate and other Halachically permissible investments in the way most advantageous to Rocket Mortgage, and Rocket Mortgage will share any profits and losses from the investment. Under no circumstances will Rocket Mortgage have any liability above the actual funds advanced. If you make all your payments as provided in the Note, then the Iska terminates and all profits and losses may be retained by you. The Iska will also terminate when Rocket Mortgage sells the mortgage loan to a party not subject to the Laws of Ribbis.
How does that work financially, though?

Interesting. It sounds largely semantic and designed to do basically the same thing while performing mental gymnastics to avoid “paying interest”, but is that what it’s doing?
https://files.catbox.moe/xec1c0.webp
Oh, yes, that’s what it’s doing. Drats, woulda been nice to claim to be Jewish to avoid paying all that dirty “interest”, but they’re still paying “interest”, effectively, just redefined as “business partnership profits” with the bank still getting the same amount of money.
What about the claim of San Marcos’s city council being required to send $4.4 million to Israel? A quick glance at their city council looks like they’re mostly liberal, and their resolution condemned “anti-Palestinian, Islamophobic, antisemitic, and all xenophobic rhetoric and attacks.” Ok…
The Mayor: https://files.catbox.moe/z9ii70.jpeg
Abbott added that the city’s proposed resolution “seems calculated to violate this law by calling for San Marcos to limit its commercial relations with Israel.”
Um.
"I don't know where the camera is," she continued, "but to Gov. Greg Abbott: How dare you?"
Uh.
San Marcos leaders plan to “hold a discussion regarding a possible resolution calling for the immediate and permanent ceasefire in occupied Palestine, an arms embargo on Israel, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty, and the protection of constitutional rights for all people under national and international law."
Sorry all, but I’m not going to bother digging through the San Marcos budget for 2025 to find out where they were sending $4.4 million in tax dollars to Israel for commercial relations, which would likely be contracts the city council voluntarily entered into for some reason. It sounds like they’re trying to make budget cuts using an international embargo. Did somebody’s grift get cut off? Sorry xers, but international relations are above your jurisdiction.
Just, uh … try to think critically on things, and see if you can leverage the fact that “genocide” seems to be in law now to file suit against NGO’s running mass migration campaigns, and to demand the completion of the border wall, by law.
Are there any actions that can be taken from all of this? Heter Iska loans are sadly off the table, unless you want to pass a bar mitzvah and bring in two rabbis to “pay $20,000 in profit sharing” instead of “paying $20,000 in interest”. (Side note: Which is likely closer to what “legalism” is referring to in the New Testament). If anyone wants to deep dive on the rest of her claims, by all means have at it. I was expecting to find evidence of them being true here, to look up how to push back on them, not evidence of the claims being absurd.
And San Marcos, please get a new city council.
Honk.
kek. I mean I'd love for DOGE, Bessent, or anyone with authority to look at it.
I still suspect that if we start finding things and submitting them with appropriate directive paperwork, that they’ll do it.
One thing I saw just now is that a lot of those loans, in addition to requiring strong oaths of completion, also require 50% downpayments held in collateral.
It might be better if we held intergenerational trust and helped our next generations get moving earlier instead of encouraging them to build up a good credit score.
