If you want to see how foreign commentators build a distorted narrative about Israel, look at Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Avraham Burg. Carlson started with a conclusion, then found a local voice to give it legitimacy. On paper, Burg looks like the ultimate insider. He comes from a storied Zionist family and briefly served as acting president. To an American audience, he appears to be a thoughtful centrist offering a dissenting view. Inside Israel, Burg moved far outside the mainstream a long time ago. Today, he openly challenges the core ideas of Jewish statehood. Presenting him as a stand-in for the Israeli public is the equivalent of presenting Jill Stein as the hidden center of American politics. This is a specific media tactic designed to flatter a domestic audience. Carlson bypassed the many mainstream Israeli critics. He selected a native witness guaranteed to validate his viewers' assumptions. A serious inquiry into Israel today explores why a public that deeply distrusts its government still overwhelmingly supports military operations. It examines how October 7 reshaped local assumptions about deterrence and coexistence. Those questions require engaging with reality. Relying on an outlier with a microphone avoids the hard work of actual journalism. When you elevate fringe voices as hidden majorities, audiences learn less about the world.

.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory. But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025? That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice. She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her. You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly. And beyond that—you have never even responded to me. I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position. You never replied. And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day. Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen. This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability. When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message. Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way. So I am asking you directly: Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend? Say her name: Katie Abraham. Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.



Yesterday: an independent titan. Today: Israel’s puppet. Consistency is no burden to the antisemite—only the conclusion matters, and it is always the same: blame the Jews.

Seriously, how can anyone hate dogs? Angels on Earth.







Former CIA Director John Brennan: I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump, because he could not acknowledge the truth even when he’s slapped in the face with it repeatedly.







This is what happens when an Iranian missile, with a 100 kg warhead and cluster munitions, strikes the civilian heart of Tel Aviv. Imagine the global outrage if this was London, Paris or Berlin. Yet because it’s the Jewish state, the world is SILENT!
