Why can't Trump admin deport Palestinians who openly boast of participating in terror operations?

Trump envoys' negotiations with Hamas legitimize murder.

“Zionism was never an undifferentiated mass of ill intent with only theft and conquest on its mind. It was an idea, a longing, a necessity to some, and a wild fancy to others, and it probably never struck two Jews or sympathetic non-Jews the same way. To argue otherwise is bad faith and twisted history and, like all political falsehoods, serves no purpose but to awaken an old abhorrence.”

What is Zionism? Am I a Zionist?

As you ask yourself these questions, consider that the emerging answers to them may have less to do with Jews—and more to do with everyone else.

At UC San Diego, civil rights complaints about antisemitism and racial discrimination disappeared into a bureaucratic black hole.

Americans have always believed the future was theirs to make. But what happens when a country built on reinvention stops believing in the future?

“The charge of genocide leveled at Israel, a charge that invariably comes with the pseudo-authoritative definite article—the genocide, to muffle dissent and to rejig the hierarchy of genocides in favor of Israel’s victims—could be said to be the biggest lie of all. It does not diminish the horror of the flattening of Gaza one wit, or make light of the tragic loss of Palestinian lives, to insist that a genocide, let alone the genocide, has not occurred, even if lawyers with a vested interest in proving Israel guilty of something terrible redefine the word genocide to include normal conduct according to the laws of war.”

Was very glad to answer some questions with @LeeSmithDC—including the tiniest preview of my new book.

Cotton is right and the sunshine protection act is a terrible idea everywhere outside of Florida

American culture is our civilizational treasure. It represents our common memory and our collective memory as a people. Its what makes us sing and laugh. It’s how we tell stories and write songs.

Americans created the greatest popular music the world has ever heard, from jazz to the blues to country and rock and roll.

Americans made movies that swept the entire planet, from the golden age of Hollywood to ET and Star Wars.

We made the best cartoons, from Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner and the rest of Loony Tunes to the Simpsons and South Park.

We produced and read the 20th century’s most-imitated novelists, from Hemingway and Faulkner to Kerouac to Pynchon and DeLillo, to Robert Stone and Cormac McCarthy.

We are the nation of Melville, Whitman, Emerson, Dickenson and Poe.

And guess what? Almost none of it is taught in our schools. Americans produced one of the world’s great popular cultures, and we are failing entirely to transmit it. Nations that destroy their own cultural memory cease to exist as nations. Instead, they become blind, deaf and dumb.

Which one suspects is the point.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

It seems like a pretty big deal that there's an entire terror financing network comprised of 'young Palestinians' openly operating in NYC. Not surprising at all, but a very big deal nonetheless.

We all know who these 'young Palestinians' are, and we all know who they're supported by.

Get these people out of the country.
