There is an old Jewish tale told in the Talmud about a master who sent his servant to buy for him fish in the market. The servant came back with a fish that was utterly rotten and smelled bad for his master. His master gave the servant three options: Eat the rotten fish, pay a fine, or be expelled from the city. The servant chose the first and began eating the rotten fish. Halfway through eating the rotten fish he just couldn't stomach it anymore so he asked to pay the fine. After he paid half the fine he realized he cannot afford it anymore and was therefore expelled from the city, thereby taking on all three punishments. That is what JD Vance did to himself by turning on Israel and his horrifying performance today in Switzerland.

Zrůda, která se podílela na vraždění 7/10 a unesla 12letého Jihala Ja’akova, už nikdy nikomu neublíží. Člena Palestinského islámského džihádu si našla izraelská raketa v Gaze.

Well done. "But Ben Gvir" definitely washes away the murderous, eternal muqawama. Good on you for being so clever. This is it. This is the campaign in a nutshell. When you point to the nature of Israel's enemies as a possible explanation for some significant part of Israeli behavior, the bigots always, always acknowledge the point. They know. "But Ben Gvir." As though decades upon decades of genocidal rhetoric, genocidal intentions and genocidal action against Israeli Jews might not have played some slight role in forging Israel's Ben Gvirs. As though Ben Gvir himself in his worst, most racist moments ever said or did anything half as evil as the routine rhetoric and behavior of the ayatollahs, of Hamas and Hezbollah, of heroes lionized among so many Western elites. Alas, none of this matters. With the likes of Zaid, we're speaking into a vacuum. They don't want to understand. They're not here to teach or learn or solve anything. It's not about justice or peace or even cold strategy. There isn't even an analysis here. It's just bigotry, the mindlessness of the self-satisfied bully. But, you know, Ben Gvir. Case closed.

It's been three days since Mayor Mamdani took the stage to demonize and denigrate his Jewish constituents. I initially didn’t say anything because I felt certain he would retract his incendiary comments or at least explain them. I was wrong. This is the kind of bigoted conspiracy mongering that you expect from unhinged streamers or white supremacists. It’s not the language that we should expect from the mayor whose jurisdiction suffers from the highest levels of antisemitism of any city in America. This is not a principled disagreement. This is prejudice pure and simple. It is deliberate, dangerous and disgraceful.

Ask yourselves: why would Hezbollah need stockpiles like this in South Lebanon? 💥 5 tons of explosives 💥 Dozens of killer drones 💥 Land mines and IEDs This was all meant to be used against the people of Israel, and our northern cities and villages. This is what we're defending ourselves against.
