🚨 BREAKING: The Iranian regime has OFFICIALLY announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing MASSIVE Israeli attacks inside Lebanon, per AP Welp, that didn’t last long Some of the largest Israeli strikes in Lebanon in recent history have taken place in the last 24 hours, risking the end of the US-Iranian ceasefire.

There were no illustrations for the New York Times’ fawning review of Molly Crabapple’s book on the Bundists, the inspiration for the Peter Beinart types of today, so I took the liberty of adding some. The Bundists were wrong and dumb when they spent the decades leading up to the Holocaust fighting Zionism, telling people that the lands that would soon build crematoria to incinerate their used-up bodies were their true homeland. But they couldn’t see the future. They mostly paid with their lives, at the hands of Stalin or the Third Reich. But the neo-Bundists—happily, a tiny and irrelevant fraction today, though they are the New York Times’ favourite Jews—don’t have the excuse of ignorance. They know that many leaders of the Bund who weren’t slaughtered in Stalin’s purges were killed in the Holocaust. They know that Bundism was thus repudiated in the most visceral possible way. Not only did they mostly get themselves killed, but the people who bought their philosophy mostly paid for it with their lives and those of their children. The more you were a Zionist in pre-war Europe, the more likely you were to make it to 1945. So the neo-Bundists aren’t just wrong and stupid like the Bundists, they are truly sinister. But to actually name the book “Here, Where We Live, Is Our Country” after the famous slogan that encapsulates the ironic and blood-soaked repudiation of their mission, is to say to their fellow Jews in 2026: we hate Zionism so much that even the Holocaust doesn’t make us flinch; nothing at all is worse than Jewish self-determination. It’s a sort of virtue signal to their bigoted friends, an act of sick trolling. There will always be people like Crabapple and Beinart and their little cult of hand-wringing, self-congratulatory bores, but the New York Times plumbs new depths with this fawning review.

Tucker’s latest guest: “Capitalism shouldn’t be anywhere near Christianity. Christianity is socialism at its core.” Tucker agrees

הנתון המדאיג ביותר בסקר פיו שפורסם אתמול (והתחרות קשה) הוא כנראה בקרב אמריקנים בגילאי 18–49: 84% מהדמוקרטים מחזיקים כיום בעמדה שלילית כלפי ישראל, ו-57% מהרפובליקנים. רוב שלילי בשתי המפלגות. סה״כ בדור העתיד של החברה האמריקנית - 70% עם תפיסה שלילית כלפי ישראל.
