Happy Passover, New York!

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem). This has been explained over and over since day one. Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying. The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea. During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul. Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb. The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability. So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world. Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage. Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions. This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot

This is quite simply the best piece I’ve read on ‘Feminism’s Jewish Problem’ from @nicolelampert and @realzoestrimpel and should be read even if only want the history which is incredibly well-researched. Bookmark, save, read and think. Well done women. Well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 tabletmag.com/sections/arts-…

Ok, so the UN confirms gang rapes and sexualized torture on Oct 7th. Many were so vehement that mass rapes didn’t happen. Truly bizarre that they wanted to die on this hill. But it never made sense to me that many were like “No, no, the ‘freedom fighters’ didn’t rape, they just gleefully slaughtered innocent people in their homes and at a dance festival while filming the whole thing.” Barbaric, savage Hamas militants filmed themselves torturing and murdering people… but rape was your line? You really went with, “Yeah they slaughtered innocents and all that, which I guess is bad and all… but they aren’t rapists!!!”

I’m receiving reports this morning regarding two successful campaigns that occurred over the weekend. 1. No Kings. As of this morning, there are (still) no kings in the United States of America. 2. No Dukes. As of this morning, there are no Dukes in the NCAA tournament.

A genuine shame we never got to see Angel Hernández and ABS work together

Rav Rimon published a new version of Dayeinu for the current war. DM me if you'd like me to send you a PDF (Hebrew only or Hebrew + English).

The final casualty toll in October 7th War in Gaza according to Hamas's own pension payments: ▶️50K Hamas Terrorist Soldiers ▶️20K Civilians 20K civilian casaulties is "genocide." Also, a 2:1 ratio of combatants to civilians - a ratio never seen in urban combat in all military history - is also now defined as "genocide." If ever there was proof that modern "international law" is just ideology and antisemitism masquerading as "justice" and the "rule of law," this is it.

Barack Obama bears primary responsibility for today’s Middle East crisis. Had he not shipped billions of dollars in cash to Iran, they wouldn’t have had the funds to build their nuclear, missile, and drone programs — nor to arm Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. And by enthusiastically backing the “Arab Spring,” he helped tear apart once-stable nations and turn them into chaos and failed states.”

The 4 Children of Far-Left Jewish Passover - 2026 edition. The "Woke" Child asks: Why do you care so much about Israel? Isn’t Zionism just colonialism? He removes himself from the story, forgetting that Jewish people are indigenous to the land of Israel. He swallows hashtags and TikTok takes as if they were sacred texts. You respond: Because if we don’t care, no one will. And had you been in Egypt, you’d have called Moses an oppressor. The Performative Child declares: I stand with all oppressed people... but not you. He shows up to every rally, every cause, unless it involves Jews. He lights candles for strangers overseas but stays silent when synagogues are vandalized. To him you say: Your silence is not neutrality. It is consent. The Naive Child wonders: Can’t we just have peace? If both sides just stopped fighting? He thinks this is a conflict about land, not the annihilation of a people. He doesn’t understand that “peace” without justice is surrender. You gently explain: We’ve tried. We withdrew. We gave. We were met with rockets, murder, and silence. The Child Who Doesn’t Know What a Jew Is: He mumbles something about decolonization, stares blankly when you say “pogrom,” and thinks the Maccabees were a boy band. To him you say: Come sit. Let me tell you a story. It starts in Egypt, winds through exile, and ends, not in Brooklyn, but in Jerusalem.

This is the Mona Lisa.

Rav Eli Stefansky @MercazDafYomi shares a remarkable story from his Daf Yomi shiur (Menachos 71), describing a farher he gave to the elite yungeleit of Kollel Shas Yidden—individuals who truly “know Shas cold.” One standout moment featured Rav Dovid Menashe, who not only identified a Tosafos instantly but recited it verbatim. The story highlights the incredible mastery, passion, and dedication that define Shas Yidden, whose mission is nothing less than knowing all of Shas.
