BREAKING: Iran has reportedly struck at least 14 different US military bases in the Middle East. This includes bases in Kuwait, UAE, and Qatar
How many Americans have been injured or killed?
Why the F-CK is Congress not involved in this?
Why the hell are the people who claimed that Trump deserved a Nobel Peace Prize so quiet?
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
At least 70 people, including some 60 children, were killed when U.S. and Israeli strikes hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, according to the Fars News.
The attack reportedly struck during school hours, with about 170 girls inside. Videos show families screaming and digging through rubble as rescue crews searched for survivors. Tehran has vowed retaliation.
Dr. Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran told Al Jazeera: “We are fighting the epstein class that either rapes little girls or bombs little girls.”
I never, ever, thought this day would come, but for the first time in my life, I am going to compare a human being to Adolph Hitler:
Understand that I am the grandchild of 4 Holocaust survivors.
I've spent a lifetime urging people NOT to compare anyone to Hitler. I even wrote an op-ed in the NY Post days before the '24 election, blasting people for comparing Trump to Hitler.
But...
Tucker Carlson's views, rhetoric, and influence remind me of Adolph Hitler.
This situation is as dead serious as a heart attack and with @JDVance now expressly and abhorrently legitimizing Carlson's views, we are in a national Antisemitism State of Emergency.

🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.
That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.
Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!
AJW editor Mordecai Specktor is featured in a new podcast called “That’s Debatable!” He and his pals were championship high school debaters, in 1968, now debating the @ICEgov op that has devolved to shooting down people in the streets of #Minneapolis. https://t.co/j3mM0QLjnj
This post by @RepRaskin reflects what has been reported about conditions at the Whipple Federal Building, the @ICEgov detention center near Fort Snelling.
I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.
As it happens, the Jewish World office is in #Minneapolis. We have been invaded by a horde of masked, paramilitary immigration enforcement agents. The result has been a terrorized immigrant community, chaos and bloodshed. https://t.co/dRaCmO6olh
It sounds better in the original German, as they say. This is a variant on the #Nazi slogan "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer!" Shameful and infuriating that it was posted on a US government account. https://t.co/9xaukajMLj
@MayorFrey tells #ICE to “get the fu(k out of #Minneapolis.” On Wednesday, an ICE agent fatally shot Nicole Good, 37, a mother of three. https://t.co/iCA98ePdnk

The editorial in the December (Hanuka) print edition concerns the president’s bigoted remarks about Somali Americans in #Minnesota. Trump said they are “garbage.” https://t.co/JVr7oAzUsG
הצהרת שרי החוץ של סעודיה, האמירויות, קטאר, מצרים, ירדן, טורקיה ופקיסטן - מאוד זהירה. שבחים לטראמפ, אבל דרישה בפועל לתיקונים בהסכם. הדגשה של התחיבות טראמפ להימנע מסיפוח איו"ש (התחיבות בעל פה, שלא מוזכרת אפילו ברמז בהסכם).
הוספה מורחבת של ההכרח בחיבור עזה-איו"ש והקמת מדינה פלסטינית, מה שגם לא מופיע בהסכם, וטראמפ גם נמנע מלומר בעל פה.
בקיצור - אי אפשר לומר שמדינות ערב אימצו את ההסכם ומחויבות ליישומו. אפשר לומר שהן תומכות עקרונית, אבל ידרשו תוספות ואולי שינויים, ושהן רואות בו חלק ממהלך גדול יותר ליישום פתרון 2 המדינות, פתרון שנתניהו דוחה בתוקף, וטראמפ נמנע מלקבל לפי שעה.
@jdforward: At least 300 students at Northwestern University were barred from registering for classes this month after refusing to watch a video about antisemitism that protesters say ignores Palestinian perspectives and “ostracizes anti-Zionist Jews.”

Harrison Bader just told the Jewish World that he will play for Team Israel in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Bader, whose father is Jewish, is playing outfield this year with the @Twins.
A poll this week found that 70% of Israelis want Netanyahu to resign. This might sound shocking to outsiders, but it's actually entirely predictable. I wrote about why: On every issue crucial to Israel's future, Netanyahu has sided with a radical 30% over the country's majority.
J Street cannot express strongly enough opposition to the ideas being put forward by President Trump regarding Gaza. There aren’t adequate words to express our disgust at the idea of forcible displacement of Palestinians with the assistance of the United States of America. 1/5
