Thank you, Bernie Sanders, whose relentless and often lonely fight for the last 40 years has been a beacon of hope to millions. I am humbled to stand with you and to carry your legacy and our movement forward. We will stand together in the Senate and pass Medicare for All.

So Caesar Rodney who went on a “midnight ride” to Philadelphia to vote for independence (breaking a deadlock for Delaware) and then became a signer of the Declaration of Independence will be commemorated for the 250th anniversary and this is the headline?

The most frivolous claim made against Israel is that it has occupied Gaza since 2005. Ariel Sharon became the Prime Minister of Israel in 2005 and he decided to disengage from Gaza entirely. It was incredibly divisive in Israel. It tore the country apart. He took all the 8,000 citizens who were living in Gaza, and he pulled them out kicking and screaming back across the border. He even went so far as to order the rabbis to go to the cemeteries and to disinter the Jewish bodies in the cemeteries, to say to the Palestinian people, "You make your own state here in Gaza. You're by the water. You get billions and billions of dollars in aid from the United States and Europe and other countries around the world every year. You can be a Singapore in the Middle East." One year later in 2006, Hamas overwhelmingly won the election in Gaza by promising to fight a never-ending war of extermination against the Jews. They haven't had a single election since. And many people believe that the many wars that Hamas has started with Israel since 2005, including the war on October 7th, were a direct result of Israelis disengaging from Gaza in 2005. Whatever else might be said about Gaza, the claim that Israel has occupied Gaza since 2005 is utterly and verifiably false.

This is an ILLEGAL war on Mordor. We’re told Sauron “poses an existential threat,” yet somehow this involves sending hobbits 1,500 miles to a volcano. Regime change in Mordor will only create a power vacuum filled by worse orcs. Sauron is bad, sure. But is he “march to Mount Doom” bad? Meanwhile second breakfast is underfunded. Tell me again how this puts the Shire first?

Imagine the Jews being persecuted throughout the entire Middle East and Europe so an idea was birthed to go to a centralized place in the pursuit of safety that had a religious and historical connection to Judaism. Then Jews legally buy 7% of the land from Arabs for decades who sell it to them at way over market prices, and then the Arabs decide to slaughter Jews in 1920, 1921, and 1929 so the Jews say maybe we should create self defense organizations so we don’t get slaughtered again despite most of us being pretty woke lefties that just want to farm and be safe, so much so that despite killing us and losing our trust, we still want to be good neighbors and split the land with you into two countries where one didn’t exist before. Imagine the local Arabs saying no repeatedly after multiple offers were made for a state and launching a war to attack Jews and verbatim drive them into the sea, and then getting their asses kicked by a bunch of Auschwitz survivors. Then they tried again twice, and lost both times. Then the Israelis offered them a state again, and they said no and launched suicide bombing campaigns while the Israelis kept building their country. And now here we are - they keep trying to destroy, the Israelis keep trying to build, and the axis of resistance is in literal shambles and all of the top guys have fucked their people over for no other reason than militant religiously fueled radicalism. Palestinian leadership has consistently prioritized a struggle over a state and they’ve gotten it. The Israelis will continue to build, and the funny thing is, they just want those around them to do the same. But you’re too ideologically captured to recognize that.

MARCO RUBIO: “Si no puedes entrar a Estados Unidos porque eres partidario de Hamás, no deberías poder quedarte con una visa si eres partidario de Hamás”. Me pongo de pie para aplaudir a este hombre.

🚨 IT COST JEWS $228,169.53 FOR SECURITY AT A THREE-DAY EVENT IN D.C. Leo Terrell raised hell. Mayor Bowser gave him the cold shoulder. Why is the mayor of America’s capital ignoring the chief of the DOJ Antisemitism Task Force?

What’s poor form is doing demonstrably sloppy, ahistorical work— then flooding the field and expecting to go unchallenged— while others toil and do the hard work the right way. Sorry, but you are the last person in the academy who is qualified to critique me about methodology.
