One problem Trump faces with the younger generations is they have no context for the stuff heâs doing.
- They donât know that Venezuela was once the worldâs sixth richest country before Communism devoured it.
- They are all but ignorant of the Castro regimeâs abuses and the plight of Cubans.
- They are blissfully unaware that Iran started a war with us decades ago and have been slaughtering Americans whenever possible ever since.
- And most importantly, when it comes to Israel, they have no idea that Arafat refused a deal that granted the PLO more than 90% of what it wanted at Camp David, or that Palestinians regularly launch rockets from civilian strongholds specifically so Israel will target those areas in return and Hamas can then scream âGenocide!â
Itâs not Gen Zâs fault they donât know it. We failed them by refusing to teach it.
Or, more specifically, by allowing our educational system to be hijacked long ago by Marxists who aimed to accomplish exactly what is happening now.
We let it happen, and now we are paying for it handily.
But weâd better address it ASAP.
Or we will all learn about the horrors of Cuba and Venezuela firsthand.
I was today years old when I learned that an estimated 20,000 deaths from natural causes in Gaza are counted as genocide victims.
Apparently, Hamas hasnât released the natural death numbers since 2023 and automatically includes anyone who dies in the total âgenocideâ figure.
Kristen McQuillan argues that "differentiation"âgiving struggling students easier textsâbackfires, trapping them in permanently lower-level work instead of catching them up. She recommends "teaching to the top": give all students the same challenging material, but add temporary supports like vocabulary help or read-alouds. Unlike differentiation, these scaffolds should fade away as students improve. https://t.co/tPQbgrjOiF
đš RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV đš
Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.
Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.
Marco Rubio said it out loud.
âSo imagine if youâve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. Thatâs real. That happens. Thatâs happening every day. That makes no sense.â
You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.
Thatâs not compassion.
Thatâs a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.
Brooke Goldstein sat on a CNN panel and did the one thing that table almost never allows. She spoke as someone who actually went.
Two years in and out of Jenin, Ramallah, Tulkarem, and Nablus. Interviews with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, not through a press release and not through a translator who works for the story. They told her to her face that they want war. That is not a talking point she invented in a green room. That is what they said.
The rest of the table looked the way people look when the script gets interrupted. They have never been in Samaria or Judea. They have never watched the propaganda machine operate on the ground and then come home to hear it repeated as news. They sit on a sofa in a studio and decide what Israel is allowed to do, while the people who have been there keep getting treated as the problem for noticing that this is an ideology that teaches children to love death and then parks those children in front of the launcher.
She said the quiet part without raising her voice. It is not only Hamas. It is what the schools print. It is what the commanders admit. It is why there can be food in the Strip and still be starvation, because Hamas treats the warehouse the same way it treats the tent.
CNN will air the clip, then go back to calling itself journalism, and still act wounded the next time someone says the network is selling a product instead of a report.
@GoldsteinBrooke already did the work they refuse to do. They just did not like hearing it at their own table.
Every time someone says "1948," we only get half the story. So here's the whole thing.
In November 1947, the UN voted to divide the land into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. The UN didn't give the Jews a country. It recognized a people with 3,000 years of roots in the land, who had been promised a home since 1917.
The Jews got a small, fragmented territory, and Jerusalem wasn't even part of it. They said yes anyway. The Arab leaders said no. The day after the vote, Jewish buses were attacked, and the country slid into war.
And to those who say Israel stole a country.
There was no Palestinian state to steal from. The land had been ruled by the Ottomans for 400 years and then by the British. Israel got its share through the UN. The rest came from a war the other side started.
On May 14, 1948, Israel declared independence. The next day, five Arab armies invaded from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. The goal wasn't a Palestinian state. The goal was that there would be no Jewish state.
Israel had no real army and barely any weapons, and many of its soldiers were Holocaust survivors who had come ashore only months earlier. They won because the alternative was to die.
Yes, around 700,000 Palestinians lost their homes in that war. Some were expelled by Israeli forces. That's documented, and it shouldn't be denied. Others fled the fighting, and some were told by their own leaders to leave their villages until the Arab armies had won. They didn't.
But there was another expulsion nobody talks about.
Around 850,000 Jews were driven out or pushed out of Arab countries like Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, and Morocco. Families who had lived there for centuries lost everything. The Jews of Jerusalem's Old City were expelled by Jordan.
Israel took them in and gave them new lives.
The Arab countries did the opposite with the Palestinians.
They kept them in camps and in refugee status that is now passed down to the fourth generation, so today there are nearly six million registered refugees.
In Lebanon, they're still barred from a long list of professions. And from 1948 to 1967, Jordan held the West Bank and Egypt held Gaza. Neither of them created a Palestinian state. They could have done it at any time.
Israel took in refugees, drained swamps, and built a beautiful country with no oil and enemies on every border.
The Palestinian leaders were offered the same chance, and they chose war instead. Imagine what could have been built if they had said yes.
The roughly 160,000 Arabs who stayed in Israel became Israeli citizens. Today they number around two million, with the right to vote, their own parties, and seats in parliament.
So when someone says Israel was built on expulsion, remember the whole picture. The Palestinians were offered a state before Israel even existed. The Arab side chose war. Israel defended itself.
Israel didn't start that war. It just refused to lose it.

Arabs make up 21% of Israelâs population.
Across 22 Arab nations, Jews make up less than 0.002%.
Guess which country gets lectured about coexistence?
BREAKING: A hacker reportedly was able to break into IRGC servers, and discovered that the death count from January was in the hundreds of thousands.
If true, this would be the largest massacre in such a short period of time in history.
American foreign policy has totally always been âsubservientâ to Israel.
May 15, 1948: The United States maintained an arms embargo while Arab armies invaded Israel
One day after Israel declared independence, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Transjordan invaded the former British Mandate. Egyptian aircraft bombed Tel Aviv, and Israel was fighting for its continued existence. Despite recognizing Israel, the Truman administration maintained the American arms embargo throughout the war.
October 29, 1956âMarch 8, 1957: Eisenhower forced Israel to withdraw from Sinai and Gaza
Israel entered Sinai after years of Egyptian-supported fedayeen attacks, Egyptâs blockade of Israeli shipping through the Straits of Tiran and Nasserâs acquisition of large quantities of Soviet weapons. President Eisenhower nevertheless supported U.N. condemnation, threatened economic consequences and forced Israel to surrender Sinai and Gaza without receiving all the security guarantees it demanded. Israel completed its withdrawal on March 8, 1957. Washington placed its own Cold War interests above Israelâs judgment about what its security required.
May 23âJune 5, 1967: Johnson warned Israel not to act despite Egyptian blockade and military mobilization
On May 23, 1967, Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping after expelling U.N. peacekeepers and moving large numbers of troops into Sinai. Israel regarded the blockade as an act of war and feared an imminent multi-front attack involving Egypt, Syria and Jordan. President Lyndon Johnson nevertheless warned Israel not to initiate hostilities, telling Israeli leaders that Israel would not be alone unless it decided to âgo it alone.â
October 22â25, 1973: America stopped Israel from destroying Egyptâs Third Army
Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel on October 6, 1973, during Yom Kippur. After surviving the initial assault, Israel counterattacked, crossed the Suez Canal and surrounded Egyptâs Third Army. The Nixon administration then pressured Israel to accept the October 22 ceasefire, stop advancing and permit supplies to reach the trapped Egyptian force. American leaders placed the preservation of their relationship with Egypt and the avoidance of a confrontation with the Soviet Union above Israelâs desire to fight against a country that had attacked it.
June 7â19, 1981: Reagan condemned Israel for destroying Iraqâs Osirak reactor
On June 7, 1981, Israeli aircraft destroyed Iraqâs Osirak nuclear reactor. Iraq formally remained at war with Israel, had participated in earlier wars against it and was ruled by Saddam Hussein, whose regime openly rejected Israelâs existence. Israel considered the strike necessary to prevent a hostile dictatorship from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Reagan administration condemned the operation, supported the unanimous passage of U.N. Security Council Resolution 487 and suspended delivery of additional F-16 aircraft on June 19.
January 18âFebruary 25, 1991: America prevented Israel from retaliating against Iraqi missile attacks.
March 27âApril 4, 2002: Bush demanded Israeli withdrawal after the Passover massacre.
July 12âAugust 14, 2006: Washington helped end Israelâs war against Hezbollah.
July 8âAugust 26, 2014: Obama pressured Israel during its war against Hamas rocket attacks.
October 7, 2023âMarch 25, 2024: America demanded limits and permitted a U.N. ceasefire resolution after the Hamas massacre.
May 8, 2024: Biden confirmed that weapons could be withheld over Israelâs Rafah operation.
Totally subservient to Israel.
The lying continues. Duly noted.
Ben Shapiro: âThere will not be a Palestinian state, and the reason there will not be is because the Palestinians do not want a state, they just want to destroy Israel.â
He's 100% correct.
