“right to exist” is just manifest destiny there’s a reason Israel sees its claims over the region as analogous to the American colonies’ westward push, and why they consider it “unfair” that America got to genocide its natives and take their land, but Israelis don’t

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are now burning down Palestinian homes in the village of Silat ad-Dhahr in the West Bank and attempting to burn families alive. People are pleading for help to put out the fires, as many families remain trapped inside their homes.

WSJ: In February, several top Democratic aides were standing off the Senate floor whispering about a remark Schumer had made at a recent event for a Jewish group that then went viral online, according to people familiar with the incident. A clip and caption quoted Schumer saying one of his jobs as minority leader was to secure “all the aid that Israel needs.” The comment, the aides said, was the latest example of how Schumer was a liability for Democrats.

So - definitely a threat. Imminent, even. Put a nuke on it and you can see why Trump has been right about this all along.

Economist Editor-in-Chief: Clearly you and I agree, and we’ve both been critical of the Israeli government. Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government. The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical. Tucker Carlson: What do you think of what happened in Gaza?

🚨 BREAKING: Massive TSA lines at LaGuardia Airport in NYC stretch into the parking lot.

Tonight, 23 years ago: the Iraq War begins. President George W. Bush: “American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger.”

The cost of this war is mounting–for 13 American soldiers the cost was the ultimate one. And it can feel small to complain about diesel but at $6.20/gallon it’s a serious burden on families and small businesses. I share some of my former opponents' questions about the strategy and trajectory of the war in Iran. Yet, once in a debate, Joe Kent told me he believes citizens should have access to tactical nukes and now he’s insinuating the Jews are controlling the president. Very strange to see some on the left swooning on him. Can we just share the goal of ending forever wars without celebrating this weirdo?
