On September 11th, 2001, thousands of Palestinians, including children, took to the streets to celebrate the attack on the Twin Towers.
2,977 people lost their lives on that horrific day.
They hate America just as much as they hate Israel.

I want to say something about @60Minutes since so many conservatives are trashing it.
When my Dad was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma and we were trying to decide who he and my mother should sit down with and talk about the end days of his life - we ultimately landed on Leslie Stahl and @60Minutes. Leslie came to our ranch in Sedona and sat down and profiled both my parents together for an exclusive sit down. We ultimately chose Leslie because of her prestige as a journalist and respected history of the show.
Leslie and her crew were simultaneously professional and respectful of the delicate emotional state my entire family was in. She was in our secluded home as we all grappled with the concept that my dad was dying and fast from a rare cancer in front of the entire world. She and her producers did a wonderful job. Feel free to watch it, it’s beautifully done. This is not a situation just any person without experience can airdrop and handle the dynamics of. This is not something a rookie commentator or podcaster could have maneuvered with the respect needed. Experience does matter.
Not all legacy media is garbage nor are all reporters. This “throw all the bastards out” mentality is obnoxious and just going to breed more insanity and distrust on both sides.
I don’t want woke journalism. I don’t want anitwoke journalism. I just want great journalism.
Be careful what you wish for conservatives, - there could come a day when Rachel Maddow is put in charge instead of Bari Weiss and then tell me how you feel. The pendulum swings both ways.

The only thing that could make this Cubs win better is if we found out Brandon Johnson left early.

This needs more attention please share:
“The House of Representatives voted Tuesday night to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib for defending Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack against Israel as “resistance” and calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.
Tlaib (D-Mich.) is the 26th member of Congress to be censured by the House in the legislative body’s history.”

A CNN reporter, a BBC reporter, and an Israeli commando are captured by Hamas in Gaza. The leader of the terrorists said he'd grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.
The CNN Reporter said, "I’d like one last hamburger with fries.”
The leader nodded and said it would be done.
The BBC Reporter said, "I want to describe the scene here and what’s about to happen so my government knows I did the job until the end.”
The leader nodded and said it would be done.
Then he turned to the Israeli commando and said, “And what is your final wish?”
“Kick me in the butt,” said the soldier.
“Do not mock me, Jew.”
“I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me in the butt.”
So the terrorist leader shoved him into the open and kicked him in the behind. The soldier went sprawling but rolled to his knees, pulled a pistol they hadn't found, and shot the leader dead. Then he grabbed a rifle from another terrorist and suddenly they were all dead or fleeing.
"You could've done that all along?" asked the Brit.
"Yeah, why did you want to be kicked in the butt?" asked the American.
“If I hadn't," replied the Israeli, “You two would have reported that I was the aggressor."

If Israel had the ability to save every baby in Gaza, it would.
If Gazans had the ability to kill every baby in Israel, they would.
That is the difference.

Comment faire la paix avec Israël ?
Etape 1 : reconnaître qu’Israël existe.
Etape 2 : ne pas l’attaquer.
Voilà , problème réglé !

I envy the Israeli left.
Not their politics. Their freedom.
They march through Tel Aviv calling their own country an apartheid state. They go on CNN and call the IDF war criminals. They write op-eds in Haaretz comparing Israel to the worst regimes in history. They join NGOs funded by hostile governments to produce reports designed to delegitimize the Jewish state.
And then they go home. Sleep in their beds. Send their kids to school the next morning. No one threatens their family. No one disappears them in the night. No one drags them from their home.
Zero consequences.
Now imagine, just imagine, if Iranians had 1% of that freedom. If an Egyptian columnist could criticize Sisi the way Gideon Levy criticizes Netanyahu. If a Palestinian in Ramallah could call Abbas corrupt on live TV and walk home safely. If someone in Gaza could have held a sign saying "Hamas does not speak for me" without being executed.
The Middle East would be unrecognizable.
The great irony is that the people who enjoy more political freedom than virtually anyone else in the region use that freedom to paint Israel as a tyranny while the actual tyrannies they're silent about would imprison or kill them for doing the same.
You're not brave. You're spoiled. You mistake comfort for conscience. You scream "genocide" into a microphone the state itself protects, then sleep soundly in a democracy you spend your days trying to destroy, while millions across this region would trade everything they have for five minutes of the freedom you use to spit on your own country.

Good answer from Governor Beshear. Everyone is tired of the hall monitors looking for the right words in the right order. Dems who push back against the killjoys will be rewarded.
Dem @GovAndyBeshear is declining to call Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide.”
“That’s becoming one of those new litmus tests that we said we would never do as a party,” he told our @DashaBurns on #TheConversation.

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨
Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets...
When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement...
Who stood with us? Who risked everything?
The Jews.
They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight.
- Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would.
- When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away.
- In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish.
- Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever.
Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized.
That's why I stand with the Jews.
They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us.
So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today:
Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us.
Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together.
Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights.
Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it.
I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱
Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters.

Listen to Maximum Restraint by Peter Himmelman from 2014. The lyrics are still entirely relevant.
"But the White House wants a ceasefire, they just want to hand Hamas a win, not only is that insane, it constitutes a sin..."
