Not here to be liked. Only here to tell the truth.

Israel is a tiny democracy defending itself against a rising tide of radical Islamic terrorism.

It is surrounded by despots and terror groups

If you don't support Israel there is something wrong with your moral compass.

It's remarkable how little attention has been paid to this story.

@wil_da_beast630 I don't really know what Satanism involves. They can't be allowed to hurt anyone but otherwise I don't know that it matters

Coming out of a long and salutary Twitter hiatus to share this must-read account from James Bennet. If you ever wanted to understand what Rene Girard's "scapegoat mechanism" looks like in practice, this is it: https://t.co/3KcfmS72lY

@mattyglesias @NateSilver538 I paid $525 just to get my septic pumped yesterday, it was less than half that just a few years ago. Even the pest control services have tripled their rates. Food and housing costs are high. Maybe some people's wages have risen enough to compensate, but my family's have not.

@AlanRMacLeod Too bad about their terrorist regime government

@mattyglesias @SpecialPuppy1 I'd like the war to end in Ukraine too, but that doesn't mean I think they should just give up and let Putin win. War sucks, but sometimes you have to fight dictators and terrorists.

@piper4missouri Plenty of families struggle to send their kids to private school but do so anyway, for so many reasons. Meanwhile they pay thousands a year to a public school they don't use.

A very unusual aspect of Israel/Palestine is that a large number of people who don’t live there passionately advocate for an outcome, secular democratic binationalism, that neither of the main Palestinian political organizations have as their stated goal.

We will never forgive Hamas for making our Holocaust survivors cry by murdering their children, abducting their families, and keeping them awake with nightmares. For this alone, Hamas will pay. #NeverAgain

@DavidLBernstein Is it possible that Hamas could intentionally put the hostages in the path of an Israeli airstrike? They do get warned of the attack beforehand..

[LK 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 @LilaVT610]

@CathyYoung63 I wonder if it's possible for Hamas to intentionally put the hostages in the path of an Israeli airstrike? Since there is so much warning of the attacks, it seems possible

[LK 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 @LilaVT610]

@SpencerGuard @CNN @CNNOpinion Is it possible that Hamas could intentially put the hostages in the path of an israeli airstrike?

"That quickening of your heart rate, the flush on your face, the chill down the spine—these unpleasant sensations are what courage feels like. They are the physical symptoms of a moral compass that works."

Why would pro choice,
Social Justice warriors for LGBTQ rights or MeToo gals endorse an entity that would literally enslave them or throw them from tall buildings?

This is one of the most brilliant interviews I have heard an Israeli official give over the last few weeks, particularly in the face of an incredibly hostile interviewer. @EylonALevy should be the next leader of this country 🤴🏽

@mattyglesias If you picture them all as different races instead of animals, it's basically what Kendi was saying. You can't expect black people to do well on a test written by whites. Of course asians do the best, but they never count..
