A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’ An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this. www.ynet.co.il/yedioth/arti...

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
