@MrChickSports And I'm here.

[Ben Brodsky @BBrodsky]

@MrChickSports You may be there a while!

[Ben Brodsky @BBrodsky]

@margbrennan @FaceTheNation It's not a prisoner swap. It's innocent hostages for convicted Terrorists. Your Face the Nation open was wrong and biased.

Kamala Harris is not Hitler.
Donald Trump is not Hitler.

Equating either candidate or their supporters to the Nazi regime diminishes the genuine horrors of Hitler and his followers.

It dishonors the millions who perished under his orders and disrespects those who gave their lives to bring his tyranny to an end.

Save the reprimand for the actual Nazis.

Hi #Bruce @springsteen! This November will mark 15 years since Clarence played his final #Jungleland in #Baltimore. Let's bring it back Friday as a tribute to the Big Man! @JimRotolo @blogitallnight

I’m amazed by the backlash against BLM when they show even the smallest amount of humanity toward Israelis.

The comments here are quite revealing.

[Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan]

This is outrageous and disgusting. October 7th should be a day to remember the innocent victims who were murdered and raped and those still being held hostage. The antisemitic bigotry must stop. I urge city, county, and state officials and university leaders to take the necessary steps to make all students feel safe on campus.

I am calling upon the CEOs of American Airlines, Delta, and United to end the unilateral + indefinite suspensions of air travel to Israel. The operative words here are ‘unilateral’ and ‘indefinite.’

Air travel suspensions should have time limits and FAA approval. Instead of following the FAA, the three airlines have been acting on their own to suspend flights to Israel. These suspensions are so indefinite as to be indistinguishable from a boycott.

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

Imagine Al Qaeda hosting an event on 9/11 - unthinkable, right?

Yet the @UofMaryland is allowing SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine), a known antisemitic hate group with TERROR ties, commemorate October 7th!

Demand President Pines shut it down: https://t.co/ucid0kaUH5

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

What does SJP at @UofMaryland believe - that the world's only Jewish state has NO. RIGHT. TO. EXIST.

Why are these vile bigots allowed to even EXIST on campus, much less benefit from communal space reservations on October 7th?

As a proud @UofMaryland alumnus, I am horrified to learn that my alma mater will be permitting a known hate group that has been banned from other campuses to hold a public celebration on the first anniversary of the October 7 massacre.

While the campus Jewish community and its allies in the student body mourn the slaughter of 1,200 innocent men, women, and children in the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust, they will be subjected to a display of pure hate in the center of campus.

That’s like letting a pro-Al-Qaeda group hold a celebration on 9/11, or like enabling the KKK to throw a party on the anniversary of MLK’s assassination. It’s just plain wrong.

I am inspired by the critical work of @MarylandHillel and of dedicated Jewish student leaders to ensure that Jewish campus life remains as strong and vibrant as it was when I was a student, but I can’t help but wonder how Jewish students will feel walking past this grotesque demonstration in the center of campus, knowing that it is taking place with the administration’s approval.

I call on @President_Pines to immediately intervene and withdraw approval from this ghastly event.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Fu*k the DNC. Also, can we speak?

[Avi Mayer אבי מאיר @AviMayer]

This @NYMag piece by @JonathanChait is one of the best descriptions of the pro-Palestinian movement I have ever read.

If I could shout (almost) every word from the rooftops, I would.

Do yourself a favor and read it:

“Shalom, Baruch Hashem, Leshana Tova, Shabbat shalom”

Shaq offers heartfelt support to Camp Timberlane, which is currently hosting young Israelis who survived the October 7 massacre or lost loved ones in the attack.

@CCFPeace

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

Palestinians held in Israeli jails for terror offenses are *prisoners*. Israelis kidnapped by Hamas and held in Gaza are *hostages*.

This is not a morally equivalent "prisoner swap" as @Newsweek inaccurately describes it.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Gaza is a racist, apartheid society that has ethnically cleansed itself of Christians and Jews.

Those are cold-hard facts.

Two decades with billions of dollars in aid, with zero progress or prosperity whatsoever.

Every sane person should stand with Israel.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

You can’t claim “Israel changed the ceasefire terms” as an excuse for Hamas refusing to accept the agreement— while also calling this war a genocide.

No group facing genocide rejects ceasefires repeatedly.

Hamas makes demands because they’re drunk on power and you enable them.

@SaraCarterDC @RealCandaceO Thank you Sara for always standing with the Jewish people.

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

Nothing like a Hamas terrorist throwing a tantrum on CNN while sitting in his cushy Qatari luxury residence.
