As we watch this horrible situation in Israel unfold, Americans must face a stark truth: our tax dollars funded this.

Money is fungible, and many of the dollars we sent to Iran are being used to now kill innocent people.

This must stop.

Israel has every right to defend itself. I wish our friends well, but most of all I wish they weren’t fighting against weapons bought with our money.

The sexual violence by Hamas has been aggressively denied by an antisemitic global left that wants us to forget. A new report is a reminder.

From Day One, the mission was crystal clear: This was the final, best chance to wipe out Iran’s threat for good - so they can never have a nuclear weapon.

"Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei..." - President Donald J. Trump

[Amit Segal @AmitSegal]

Marwan Barghouti is a cold-blooded mass murderer, responsible for the brutal deaths of dozens of Israelis.

To compare him to Nelson Mandela is a grotesque insult to history and humanity.

His hands are soaked with the blood of innocents: wedding guests murdered in January 2002, families slaughtered at a restaurant in March 2002, and others.

@MarkRuffalo, Sting, @NaomiAKlein, @richardbranson and @IanMcKellen aren’t applauding a freedom fighter. They are sanitizing the crimes of a serial killer.

[Leo Terrell @LeoTerrellDOJ]

Not surprising but still chilling.

NEWS FLASH: Some things are black and white. Harassing and threatening Jews trying to enter a synagogue is indefensible and must be condemned unequivocally.

This kind of hatred and antisemitism only reinforces how vital a Jewish homeland is for so many Jews.

SHOCKING: Listen to Hamas survivor Ohad Ben Ami recount how, just a month before his release, a senior Hamas commander came to them with a horrifying demand:

Out of the 6 hostages held together, they had to choose three to be shot dead and three to be shot in the knees.

Hamas gave them an hour to talk, and to choose who would live and who would die, in front of a camera. In the end, Hamas spared them if they agreed to condemn the Israeli government.

This is the level of cruelty we’re dealing with. For Hamas, hostage lives are just a game.

50 hostages are still there. Still trapped with these monsters.

We must bring them home. Now.

Yarden Bibas’s full eulogy:

"Mi Amor"

I remember the first time I said "mi amor" to you. It was at the very beginning of our relationship. You told me to only call you that if I was certain I loved you, not to say it carelessly. I didn't say it then because I didn't want you to think I was rushing to say "I love you." Shiri, I'll confess to you now that I already loved you back then when I said "mi amor."

Shiri, I love you and will always love you!
Shiri, you are everything to me!
You are the best wife and mother there could be.
Shiri, you are my best friend.

Mishmish, who will help me make decisions now? How am I supposed to make decisions without you?
Do you remember our last decision together?
In the safe room, I asked if we should "fight or surrender." You said fight, so I fought.
Shiri, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you all. If only I had known what would happen, I wouldn't have fired.

I think about everything we went through together—there are so many beautiful memories.

I remember Ariel and Kfir's births. I remember the days we would sit at home or in a café, just the two of us, talking for hours about everything under the sun. It was wonderful. I miss those times deeply.
Your presence is profoundly missed.

I want to tell you about everything that's happening in the world and here in Israel.

Shiri, everyone knows and loves us—you can't imagine how surreal all this madness is. Shiri, people tell me they'll always be by my side, but they're not you. So please stay close to me and don't go far!

Shiri, this is the closest I've been to you since October 7th, and I can't kiss or hug you, and it's breaking me!

Shiri, please watch over me...Protect me from bad decisions. Shield me from harmful things and protect me from myself. Guard me so I don't sink into darkness. Mishmish, I love you!

Chuki, Ariel,
You made me a father. You transformed us into a family. You taught me what truly matters in life and about responsibility. The day you were born, I matured instantly because of you. You taught me so much about myself, and I want to thank you. So thank you, my beloved.

Ariel, I hope you're not angry with me for failing to protect you properly and for not being there for you. I hope you know I thought about you every day, every minute.

I hope you're enjoying paradise. I'm sure you're making all the angels laugh with your silly jokes and impressions. I hope there are plenty of butterflies for you to watch, just like you did during our picnics.
Chuki, be careful when you climb down from your cloud not to step on Toni... Teach Kfir all your impressions and make everyone laugh up there.
Ariel, I love you "the most in the world, always in the world," just as you used to tell us.

Poopik, Kfir,
I didn't think our family could be more perfect, and then you came and made it even more perfect...
I remember your birth. I remember during the delivery when the midwife suddenly stopped everything—we were frightened and thought something was wrong—but it was just to tell us we had another redhead. Mom and I laughed and rejoiced. You brought more light and happiness to our little home. You came with your sweet, captivating laugh and smile, and I was instantly hooked! It was impossible not to nibble on you all the time.

Kfir, I'm sorry I didn't protect you better, but I need you to know that I love you deeply and miss you terribly!
I miss nibbling on you and hearing your laughter.
I miss our morning games when mom would ask me to watch you before I went to work. I cherished those little moments so much, and I miss them now more than ever! Kfir, I love you the most in the world, always in the world!

I have so many more things to tell you all, but I'll save them for when we're alone.

[Rep. Elise Stefanik @RepStefanik]

80 years ago marks the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must honor and memorialize the millions of victims of these unspeakable atrocities. We must remind the world that #NeverAgain is now. With the scourge of antisemitism on the rise around the globe, it is more important than ever to educate the next generation about the moral imperative of standing against the evils of antisemitism.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Consider that Hamas chose to execute an American hostage with a bullet to the back of his head during the last two or three days (along with five other hostages) whose parents just spoke at the DNC less than two weeks ago, while hostage negotiations were underway.

Consider that the U.S. strategy over the last 330 days has been to pressure Israel to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, including through the withholding of weapons from @Israel, and by periodically leaking our failure to support our ally to the media in the midst of hostage negotiations.

Consider what pressure if any the U.S. has brought to bear on Hamas and our friends in the region who harbor Hamas’ leadership?

Why? Why has our leadership adopted this failed strategy?

Because @POTUS Biden (who has been on vacation for 16 days) and @KamalaHarris, who also just skipped a ceremony at Arlington Cemetery to honor 13 fallen soldiers from the failed Afghanistan withdrawal, along with their advisers in the DNC, believe they will lose important votes in certain key swing states and from Hamas supporters on campuses.

It has been proven time and time again that the only thing that terrorists understand is brute force. Rather than pressure Israel, the United States should have put more pressure on our other allies in the region to help, and done everything we can to help Israel defeat Hamas and recover the hostages, but unfortunately this was not good politics for Biden/Harris and some of their supporters.

By being weak and lacking resolve, we failed our captured, now dead citizens, and the other hostages and their families while emboldening terrorists around the world.

The result:

It has become much less safe to be an American since October 7th because of our failed leadership.

It has become much less safe to be a member of the free world since October 7th because of our failed leadership.

We are in desperate need for a change in leadership so our enemies once again fear the United States and think twice before they act against us and/or our allies.

The time has come.

Today, a mob of terrorist supporters came to protest the Hillel at @BaruchCollege.

Hillel is the foundation for Jewish campus life.

The clear antisemitism wasn't the worst of it.

It was the open support for terrorism that did me in.
