@mtgreenee Because the US sent signals to the Liberty to stay away from the combat zone which were not received, and the Israelis thought the Liberty was Egyptian.

@MarcSchaefferGD @JHWeissmann @RachelBitecofer @ABC @FCC probably add their own "audience" track instead

@dumbassgenius @laralogan Right in front of your eyes? OK, show us, factually, documented, photos or however you want to. Show us. We are open minded, ready to listen and see. Somehow Courts found no evidence. COURTS have waited to see facts which don't show up. Intuition does not equal facts.

As Trump screamed "Comey was a dirty cop" during "Meet the Press" questions about Trump's Jan 6 lies....

We should note:

1) Comey wasn't employed by FBI on Jan 6, 2021
2) The FBI worked for Donald Trump on Jan 6, 2021
3) Trump launched the Jan 6 prosecutions on Jan 7, 2021

@MeghanMcCain Meghan, this isn’t evidence of fraud.

It only proves that the presidents unhinged and false lies about the 2020 election have put Republicans into mass psychosis and created a permission structure to call every unfavorable election outcome rigged. C’mon.

@StanFischler @Canes @GoldenKnights Not having a favorite makes this so much more enjoyable to watch for the sake of the play. What a series, hoping it goes to 7 and double OT !!

@DStarmanHockey @coachdecastro I think hockey fans and hockey kids are staying up similarly to the basketball fans staying up to watch the knicks - spurs. In Vegas they start at 5 pm, so we in the east must adjust too.

@ulryfam5 @brianstelter @kwelkernbc EVIDENCE = FACTS. Lack of Evidence equals I wish, I hope, I expected, I wanted, I would have liked, BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME AS REAL WORLD FACTS!, sorry.

@BasedIllinoisan @adammocklerr RIGHT, so stop them all, period !! If we just pick one little country, that happens to be the Jewish state, out of all the rest, and JUST PICK ON THEM, then it shows its face for what it really is, no? But because because, it must be OK ? Uh uh, not so

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

In appeals court fight over the White House ballroom, DOJ says the federal government could quickly bulldoze the statute of liberty and no one would have standing to sue over the changes once the demolition is done.

@_waleedshahid TWO assholes out of hundred of others who would rather live in peace next door to Arabs (if the Arabs felt the same way). Now do ANY free Palestine crowd and ask around, see if ANY would live with Jews If the Jews can have even some power over their own lives.

@dumbassgenius I would understand mooning management on the way out though, no?

In one of his first moves as Rangers GM, Chris Drury traded Brett Howden for a 4th-round pick and Nick DeSimone (who never played a game for the Rangers). Howden is very likely going to be the leading goal scorer in this postseason, and may win his 2nd Cup in three years.

If Israel had the ability to save every baby in Gaza, it would.

If Gazans had the ability to kill every baby in Israel, they would.

That is the difference.
