Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza - a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza.

A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.

As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home - and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support - for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.

@Slyone1970 @Out5p0ken Hummm, that “black dress under her coat” seems rather sad, aka blue, in all the other photos I’ve seen. But, let’s say the dress is an odd shade of black and the poor thing owns no black coat. Would not a person simply remove her coat indoors?

Please, #PittsburghPirates, #Cherington would someone instruct the Pirate announcers to call the game instead of conducting a talk show. It is so frustrating. Give facts, stats about who is pitching, batting, running, catching. That’s what fans want to know.

#santana traded. Salary dump. #Nutting is at it again — the epitome of a cheapskate. Just like #Cole and #McCutchen in 2018. https://t.co/j1X0AtWKIQ

Come on #PirateAnnouncers! Talk about the game! Shameful gibbering like old men on a front porch.

[janestis @janestis]

Watching #PIRATES新作情報 Mets game from CT live with Mets announcers. In two innings I’ve heard more relevant, current baseball info about both teams & players & plays than in an entire season with the Pirates announcers. So that’s great. Also, I’d like a win please.

It’s time to retire Ron DeSantis on November 8th.

This is a reasoned intelligent point of view, which might actually make it against an emerging one man “community” guideline.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

TikTok just suspended this video because of mass reporting claiming I violated the community guidelines. Seriously?! Man, they don’t want this point out there.

One of our daughters in law is from Canada, so as a country, I’m a fan. However as an offensive coordinator Canada is a big fail. #Steelers #LetTheQBcallThePlays #SteelersNation

Watching the #PittsburghPirates game. Sure the kids screwed up in the seventh but I don’t blame the kids. I blame the ones who should be providing what these talented hard working kids need to succeed. #PirateFrontOffice #Nutting #SpendSomeMoney #SellTheTeam

@CNN Help me here, offended parents&grands. Do you & your SO have sex at breakfast? No? K. Have kiddos ever breakfasted with Mom & Gramma? Yes? K. Then in whose mind does this delightful glimpse of a different family scream sex? Not in the littles’ I bet. Is that a plank in your eye?

[janestis @janestis]

I know the rule for pitchers. So how many games do you have to let a manager lose before you can fire him? Asking for a friend… #Pirates #cherington

@AndrewYang I voted for Andrew Yang once. Never again! He is the Ross Perot of 2022.

@AnestisJoye With no personal ties to Pittsburgh or its sports teams, David watched Steelers games with Steelers fan and son-in-law Mike, and even cheered them on, which definitely was a loving action. Seems like a little thing, but then, isn’t it the little things that truly define us?

To crib one of his fave songs, my stepdad flew away a week ago. We are still reeling. one of his wishes was for a viral obit. I’m not sure any of us were up to the task (or have the followers), but I’m sharing here to honor a good & decent life. https://t.co/JLiyhlK6Rd

[janestis @janestis]

Watching Pirate game. Lots of new guys, some making their first appearance, and our announcers will not stop talking about a squirrel on the field. Yuk!

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Please stop whatever you are doing to listen to (and share) this historic moment. The words of Judge Jackson resonate in defiance of cynicism, they grow from the deep roots of pain and struggle, and they usher forth a vision of hope in a better and more just America.

[janestis @janestis]

@cooltxchick Focus on the first aggressor. That was not simply a “tasteless joke.” It was a bully attacking a woman with a lethal weapon of words. Is this despicable “men will be men” word aggression where the “grab them by the…” ex-pres bully has moved us?

[janestis @janestis]

I did not think any baseball announcers could be more irritating with their nothing relating to baseball small talk, but OMG the Mets announcers seem worse!
