My hardest journalism job was being @USATODAY commentary editor during Trump's rise and reign. The challenges I describe are ongoing, but after J6, this should be rule one: Don't reward Big Lie opportunists like Ronna McDaniel. @BulwarkOnline https://t.co/2D1VChdPXC
The Palestinian people are the only people in the world who can pass their refugee status to their children. No other people is afforded that right.
What you call a 'refugee camp' is in fact a neighborhood that has been around for decades and is being used by Hamas as civilian cover for its terror activities.
"On Monday I go to work. How are your family, a colleague asks. When I answer, she squirms. Canāt they just leave, my colleague says. No, they canāt actually."
This is an extraordinary piece from a Jewish employee at The Guardian

DEAR NEW PALESTINE WAR EXPERTS: The Jabalya "Refugee Camp" was indeed a real remote tent camp in the desert teeming with displaced Palestinian refugees ... in 1948! According to UNWRA over 75 years the "camp" turned into a major neighborhood in a densely populated concrete urban region called GAZA CITY. The "Refugee Camp" designation is an administrative & historic neighborhood with +7 Generations of Gazans.
HAMAS knew who would suffer above ground when they built the tunnel and command post complex under the entire city.
I have a basic fundamental question Iāve yet to hear a valid answer to.
āIsrael stole Palestinian land. They need to return it or else, all Palestinian resistance is justified. Now Israel is an apartheid state committing genocide against the Palestinian people.ā
Just one question.
Iām not even talking about the fact that we have actual artifacts that say Palestine on them alongside a Star of David showing clearly that Palestine was Israel before 1948.
Iām not even talking about the fact that before any occupation, before there was even a state of Israel, Arabs were terrorizing Jews. See Hebron Massacre, 1929.
Iām not even talking about the fact that Israel has Arabs in every position in Israel including parliament members and Supreme Court justices.
Iām not even talking about the fact that the Palestinians have grown 6x so we either stink at genocide or thatās just another lie.
Iām not even talking about the fact that there was never an Arab Palestinian state in history, and a terrorist named Arafat woke up one morning and decided to call a group of Jordanians, Palestinians.
Forget all that. One question.
Should any country in the world that conquered land in a war or who took land from someone else, return that land?
Is a Native American violent uprising justified in the United States?
If the answer is no, if you understand that in war, nations take land, if you know history and know that Israel never started any war in history (itās called Israel DEFENSE forces for a reason) but won them all, if you put all the facts I mentioned above aside, please tell me why Israel should return land that it took in a war it didnāt start but won, but that same standard doesnāt apply to any other country.
Why should Israel return any land when every other country took land in a war and no one is saying they need to return land?
Iād love a real answer.
Why is Israel held to a different standard?
If Israel should return land in your opinion, what other countries should also return land?
Canada? Australia? America? India? Poland? UK? Spain?
Iād love a real answer.
Since Houthi-controlled Yemen just declared war on Israel, now is a good time to remind the world that Yemen violently attacked its 50,000 strong Jewish community in 1947. They fled to Israel.
The handful that were still left in recent years were ethnically cleansed by the Houthis too.
Jewish owned business. Not Israeli businesses. If you continue to deny that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism you are, at best, the equivalent of a Flat Earther. And at worst, you are a monster.
