If you think it’s morally acceptable to oppose Israel’s nonnegotiable condition that Hamas be removed from control over neighboring Gaza then you have lost your way, at best. www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/...

If "Trump Derangement Syndrome" exists, it appears that belief in the "The Russia Hoax" is a false positive diagnosis.

When has a nation in a defensive war of survival ever before been pressured to disarm and sacrifice itself to avoid civilian casualties on the other side? Protests calling for an Israel arms embargo have only strengthened the extremists while impeding peaceful Israeli and Palestinian co-existence.

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

Dear Trump-voting Jews: Two things can be true at once: 1- the Democratic Party helped platform left-wing antisemitism in order to avoid alienating its base; and 2- the Trumpublican Party will platform right-wing antisemitism as long it's practiced by Trump loyalists who will serve the kleptocracy.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Among the author's conclusions is that recent rumors of President Trump's promise as Israel's savior are greatly exaggerated.

Even those who would prefer to hold Bibi and Gallant responsible for the carnage in Gaza rather than Iran and its proxies should support H.R. 23. The ICC can't claim Palestine is stateless and under occupation and yet also a nation state sufficient to establish ICC jurisdiction. tinyurl.com/yhczxdd7

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico by pointing to a 17th century map of greater Mexico and suggesting a new name for the US. “We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?” Trump is a global laughingstock. 🤣

1/ Qatar is not a party to the treaty that created the ICC and could not be compelled to cooperate with the ICC. But if the protest movement were really about saving Gazans and not condemning Israel, then it could’ve pressured Qatar — an important U.S. ally — to extradite Hamas’ leaders on 10/8/23

The Trumps say that “the crypto industry will do ‘a great job’ of policing itself when it comes to illicit flows” of terrorist cash. Evidently a corrupt industry’s investment in a corrupt politician yields better returns than an ordinary investor’s bet on the company itself, and much greater danger.

How is it that the oldest and (we claim) most exceptional democracy in the world is so bad at it? We look more like Orban's Hungary every day, and meanwhile South Korea and even Romania seem to have gotten the memo that foreign interference, cult leaders and oligarchs all threaten their democracies.

I don’t find it complicated to believe that cold-blooded murder is not a morally acceptable way to combat corporate greed, or even to honor a loved one whose life was claimed by it.

New research shows that social media users share information they know to be false, motivated to signal political loyalty. What does this mean for the effectiveness of fact-checking initiatives? Prithvi Iyer considers the findings.

1/ The MAGA GOP's casual inclusion of Social Security in discussions of entitlement cuts is the culmination of its relentless conditioning of the Trump voter over time to embrace self-sabotaging public policies that few Americans would have countenanced even a generation ago. tinyurl.com/497jxb9w
