This is a good speech and Biden seems really fiery and keyed up.

It's the busiest shopping week of the year, and I have a proposition: The infrastructure of online shopping has been built to ensure that you make bad decisions and buy stuff you don't really want. We'd be better off if buying were slightly harder. https://t.co/S2nEBNiYuG

CNN, BBC and NYT all sent push alerts blaming Israel for killing hundreds of civilians at the hospital.

If, as now looks likely, it is confirmed that the cause was a misfired rocket from Islamic Jihad, will they send push alerts correcting the original story?

Of course not.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

The instinct to believe Hamas spokespeople is not an innocent mistake.

[Alisha Steindecker @a_steindecker]

I may be partial but The Atlantic’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war is necessary. Here’s an important ⁦@Yair_Rosenberg⁩ piece that argues we must stop glossing over anti-Jewish rhetoric and take it at face value for what it truly means. https://t.co/AbiiLJR4KR

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Murdering Jewish families is not fighting for human rights.

[Yascha Mounk @Yascha_Mounk]

Yes, mpapers must take care not to report rumors or falsehoods. Yes, the Middle East conflict as a whole is very complex.

But it appears overwhelmingly likely that what just occurred was a mass atrocity, which involved deliberate targeting of non-combatants.

Make. That. Clear.

[Yascha Mounk @Yascha_Mounk]

Justin Trudeau publicly recognized this as a terrorist attack over an hour ago. Emanuel Macron did so six (!) hours ago.

Why can mainstream newspapers still not do the same?

[Yascha Mounk @Yascha_Mounk]

Remarkable how similarly, and how similarly inaccurate, all the major newspapers are describing what just happened in Israel on their front pages.

All are talking, vaguely, about “militants” who are “launching attacks”; not about the apparent murder and kidnapping of civilians.

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

Nothing “military” about this - straight-up terror attack, with civilians as the explicit target. Of course, we’ve witnessed this from Hamas for years but the scale and brutality of this is unprecedented.

"Hamas has backers—Iran and Syria foremost among them—and unlike the flatfooted Israelis, they and their backers are likely to have had plenty of time to think through how the war will unfold." -- @gcaw:

BREAKING: More than 150 Israelis were killed in the Hamas invasion - most of them are civilians, Israeli officals say

This is so awful. Praying for everyone in Israel. Be careful with the news you choose to consume today. https://t.co/IsmI2FdPHg
