I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy.

But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

As always, Howie Rose articulates what we're all feeling to a tee. What a ride for the 2024 Mets.

Scott Galloway (@profgalloway) defends Israel: “2,200 American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We go on to kill 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night. 2,800 Americans in 9/11. We go on to kill 400,000 people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren’t accused of genocide.”

If you watch one thing today…

A lot has been and can be said about @joerogan but I gotta hand it to him for actually listening and having some integrity.

This is an important video.

Let’s clear this up once and for all.

1- Criticize the Israeli government? All good. No problem. Not antisemitism.

- Deny Israel’s right to exist? Not all good. Big problem. Pure antisemitism.

2- Care about innocent Palestinians? All good. No problem. Not antisemitism.

- Claiming Israel is indiscriminately and even intentionally killing innocent civilians? Not all good. Big problem. Pure antisemitism.

3- Calling for an end to violence? All good. No problem. Not antisemitism.

- Asking Israel to unilaterally cease fire while Hamas continues to fire rockets and commit terrorism against Israelis? Not all good. Big problem. Pure antisemitism.

4- Wishing for the self determination of the Palestinians after their educational system is reformed and stops spreading Jew hatred? All good. No problem. Not antisemitism.

- Chanting about the erasure of Israel from the map (that’s what ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ means. No Israel.)? Not all good. Big problem. Pure antisemitism.

5- Investigating the events of October 7th? All good. No problem. Not antisemitism.

- Denying Hamas’ October 7th crimes and sexual violence against innocent Jews? Not all good. Big problem. Pure antisemitism.

6- Protesting against Israeli policy? All good. No problem. Not antisemitism.

- Attacking Jews or Jewish institutions including synagogues? Not all good. Big problem. Pure antisemitism.

The line between legitimate criticism and full blown Jew hatred is a fine one, but a good litmus test is to ask yourself “Is what I am demanding from the Jewish state something I demand from other nations/countries or is this opinion of mine only applicable to the Jews?”

Antisemitism is a very real and a very painful thing for Jews worldwide.

All of the above forms of antisemitism might seem harmless to you, but I assure you, every one of those things leads directly to verbal and physical violence against Jews.

Words matter and when you use your words to spread hate, hate spreads.

Let’s not confuse valid constructive criticism with the hatred of Jews.

Kapeesh?

Oh; and more thing. Don’t kid yourself that antisemites are all low life criminals.

As always, they also sit at the highest levels in society and mask their Jew hatred with sophistication.

They did it in Germany and they’re doing it today.

Today, some of the smartest and most successful people out there have proudly removed their masks and revealed their true face, a face of a person who thinks calling for genocide of the Jewish people is totally ok.

It’s not ok.

Never was and never will be. 🇮🇱💪✡️

Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way in words and deeds..I now know that’s exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose — at scale. I wasn’t aware of that before. I saw bodies were burned but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was - they did it methodically, you hear it in the voices, the commands the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims.

Why the Gaza ground invasion is necessary:

What people need to understand from Israel's perspective is that this is a cost calculation.

Until October 7th, the calculation in Israel was that Israel was that the country was better off putting up with occasional attacks and rocket volleys. That they were better off trying to encourage a better situation in Gaza with work visas, providing electricity, providing water etc. Even if the actual government of Gaza was doing nothing to help the situation and often undermining it. Those were efforts to avoid war.

Having kids grow up running to bomb shelters or fearing a random shooting or knife attack isn't a small price, but it was better than a full war.

That equation changed on October 7th. When thousands of your people are tortured, raped, taking hostage or murdered by the group you allowed to stock up on weapons and plan because you avoided taking action for years, that choice is no longer available. Hamas took it away. War is here.

At the time of the attack, Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza were still technically in a ceasefire from the last attack earlier in 2023. Those calling for Israel to just abandon their hostages and allow Hamas to continue to restock weapons and prepare another attack are vounteering for Israelis to pay the price without asking them.

No country would ever accept such an attack without taking out the group responsible and ensuring it can't happen again. No other country would be expected to do so. There is no doubt that Israel's actions in Gaza will have costs for years to come, but there is no choice now. Hamas cannot be allowed to continue to stock up weapons, plan attacks, and terrorize Israelis. So the only choice now is victory or surrender.

We should pray for a swift victory with as little collateral damage as is possible.
