Over the course of my grandfather's lifetime, he gifted and "loaned" Donald $413 million. And Donald still declared bankruptcy 6 times. He failed so badly that the banks needed to put him on a $425,000-a-month allowance.
A decade ago at least, when I still wrote for +972 Magazine, we said that one day police would use West Bank occupation tactics on Jewish Israelis. Happening now.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis rally to demand a hostage deal/ceasefire, but sadly I doubt their government will listen (just as the gov ignored the opposition to its judicial overhaul). The callousness, recklessness, and cruelty of Netanyahu and his far-right henchmen is appalling. It's past time for the Biden administration to recognize who it's dealing with and call out Netanyahu's stonewalling.
No is not an acceptable answer. Please reconsider. We’re being extremely reasonable.
I’m waiting for the call from the Vice President’s team. I can’t go anywhere until the Vice President agrees to having a Palestinian American speak from the stage.
I’m waiting for the call.

Solidarity with the Uncommitted Delegates taking action right now.
There will be no Palestinian-American voices on stage at the United Center here in Cook County — home to the largest Palestinian population in America.
BREAKING: Uncommitted National Movement leaders told reporters that the DNC has now DENIED their request for a speaking slot in Chicago.
This has been one of the group's long-running requests to the DNC and Harris camp. Some activists could be seen embracing, many in tears.
President Obama: "You can tell those flannel shirts he wears don't come from some consultant, they come from his closet, and they've been through some stuff."
In the audience, Gwen Walz vigorously nods in agreement.
Shame on AIPAC and the $9 million they spent against her. Shame on the Jewish institutional world, which spread the lie that she was antisemitic. Shame on those who oppose AIPAC quietly but sat on the sidelines for this fight.
AIPAC is a threat to the whole progressive movement.
Thinking about the $30M AIPAC et al spent to oust Jamaal and Cori—and thinking about the things that actually keep Jews and our neighbors safe: affordable housing, thriving places of worship, quality education, healthcare, food, etc. How much more good could that money have done?
