The timing of this is unsurprising. This was a major point of contention during Trump's last term when Jason whats-his-face was tweeting about "pay to slay" every five minutes. It seems a lot of actors in the region are preparing for Trump's return.

They've been emboldened by Trump, who wants to withdraw the US forces from Syria anyway. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Standing up for neo-nazis to own the (seemingly) right-wing warhawks at FDD. The dynamics of the incoming administration's policies are so strange.

Knowing Bibi for as long as we all have, this seems more like a case of l'etat c'est moi than החיים עצמם

I wondered after reading the NYT story whether they were referring to earthen ramparts surrounding tents, or if Israel had begun to truck in concrete barriers and fencing. The latter would suggest greater permanence, but we'll have to see. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Good points, though this war has been "endless" by choice.

Since Trump intends to name Kash Patel as FBI Director, maybe someone should ask Patel about all those appearances he made on the program hosted by Jew-hating, Hitler-loving extremist conspiracy theorist Stew Peters.

It's one thing to show understanding for Biden's decision, I certainly get it. I don't see how the below couldn't just as easily be *argued* in favor Trump's abuse of the presidential pardon privilege though. If anything, I would just point to Trump's past abuses for comparison.

After watching the opposition parties rush to condemn the ICC warrant against Netanyahu, it was truly surprising to hear Bogie Yaalon, of all people, call this out. m.maariv.co.il/news/politic...

That evangelical urge to appropriate our symbols and traditions and make them their own. Those that have come to Israel to proselytize have not exactly been met with open arms though. I'd be shocked if they've converted 144, let alone 144,000.

In view of the reemerging coup d’etat by Netanyahu, his coalition and media henchmen against Israel’s Supreme Court, Attorney General, rule of law & democracy - many of us feel that it’s not the ICC that should arrest, investigate and indict our rogue prime minister. It’s Israel.

With a lot having already been said about this election, have we at least considered targeting our donations to the witches PAC in the next go-round? cbn.com/news/us/witc...

"Victim-blaming" typically focuses on an irrelevant detail, such as what they were wearing at the time. This is what we call "chutzpah".
