HORRIFIC: An armed Israeli settler, under the protection of the Israeli army, blindfolded, humiliated, and detained a Palestinian man in the village of Bayt Iksa in the West Bank.

Tonight I sent the following email to the Libertarian National Committee requesting a dress code for business conventions addition to the policy manual to be applied in Grand Rapids and future national conventions. Members of the Libertarian National Committee, I am requesting consideration of a proposed addition to the Libertarian Party Policy Manual establishing a baseline professional dress standard for participation in official proceedings at the upcoming Grand Rapids National Convention and all future conventions. This proposal is not intended to impose ideological conformity or unnecessary rigidity, but rather to maintain a minimum standard of professionalism and decorum during the Party’s highest governing function. I respectfully request that a member of the LNC introduce the following language for consideration: "Proposed Policy Manual Addition — Convention Decorum and Attire Standards Section X.X — Delegate and Speaker Attire Requirements In order to preserve a professional atmosphere during all official sessions of the Libertarian Party National Convention, the following minimum attire standards shall apply to all delegates, alternates, speakers, candidates, and individuals addressing the convention body from a microphone during official business sessions: -Men shall wear collared shirts or equivalent business casual attire. -Closed-toe shoes shall be required for all participants engaging in convention floor business. -Business casual attire shall be considered acceptable minimum dress. -Neatly groomed facial hair shall be permitted. -Attire commonly understood to be intentionally disruptive, overtly theatrical, fetish-oriented, or materially inconsistent with the professional conduct of convention proceedings shall not be permitted during official business sessions. -Biological males shall not wear dresses, skirts, or attire traditionally recognized as women’s wear while participating in official convention business or addressing the body. The Chair, or any officer designee, shall have authority to deny microphone privileges, voting privileges, or floor participation to individuals not meeting these minimum standards until compliance is achieved. These standards shall apply only during official convention business sessions and shall not govern private social events, hospitality functions, or unofficial gatherings associated with convention activities." Regardless of differing views on culture or presentation, I believe most reasonable delegates agree that basic standards of professionalism strengthen the credibility and seriousness of the Party’s national proceedings. Thank you for your timely consideration of this matter! Respectfully, Ben Weir

Narrative violation warning: Elders in my Arab village in Israel told me the richest Palestinians sold their land and left first. 80 years later, their grandkids now claim to be displaced victims. I am so allergic to victim mindset. It boils my blood. ~15 million displaced Hindus and Muslims in India-Pakistan around the SAME year. No one is trying to be a victim there. It's time to move on. "You only get to be a victim once. After that, you’re a volunteer."

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Never forget how incredibly useless the left is on any serious issue. Bob Dylan literally wrote a song justifying Israel's invasion of Lebanon in the 80s and it became "forgotten" because they basically chose to forget it. And now they're going to cry about minor anti-Semitism.
