With the US elections just around the corner, some food for thought about #democracy, #dictatorship and #truth.

Many voters seem to think Trump would be good for the economy. In fact, almost everything he proposes would slow economic growth.

President Biden, you're treating the war against Israel as if it were another political point of compromise. There is a primary reality: Hamas is a terror organization and they need to give the hostages back.

Congregant: Rabbi, I have a strong desire to live forever. What should I do?

Rabbi: Join Twitter.

Congregant: And will I live forever?

Rabbi: No, but the desire will disappear.

Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way in words and deeds..I now know that’s exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose — at scale. I wasn’t aware of that before. I saw bodies were burned but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was - they did it methodically, you hear it in the voices, the commands the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims.

America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.

My take:

[Dani Buller @askdani__real]

A survey of 250 students in the US, who sympathise with the phrase "From the river to the sea", showed that:

- 53% don't know which river and sea
- 25% never heard of the Oslo Accords
- 10% thought Yasser Arafat was the first prime minister of Israel
- After learning a few basic facts about the Middle East, 68% changed their view, and rejected the popular phrase.

The more you know...

"This is the curse of #history: people try to save the past instead of saving the #future. We cannot go back to the past and correct the wrongs that were done in previous years or decades. We need to look to the future and find some way for future #peace."

I encourage everyone to watch this entire @jaketapper segment which lays bare how deeply evil and cynical Hamas and its top funder the Islamic Republic are.

This does not mean governments are off the hook, but Hamas and the Islamic Republic do not wish for freedom... all they want is death, destruction, and subjugation.

[David Karchmer @dkarchmer]

So what’s the ratio of number of people killed in Gaza over bombs dropped? Like 1? Or is it less than 1?

All people calling genocide must think the IDF is the most inefficient army in history.

Israel airstrikes are on target. If Israel would have bomb the #GazaHospital , the whole hospital would be in ruins. Not just the parking lot.
