The next time someone tells you October 7th was “resistance”, ask them how raping young women before burning their faces off and beheading Thai workers with garden hoes supported the movement for “human rights”. Seriously - ask them. (And yes, I saw both.)

A home where multiple members of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Jewish fraternity were living at was vandalized with hateful, antisemitic messages.

The perpetrators are still at large, and of course, the messages on the group's posts about the incident were a mix of 'I bet it was a Jew who did it' and 'Who cares it's not a big deal.'

It's a completely unacceptable reaction to a completely unacceptable incident.

“He talks 10 hours a day. Of course he’s going to say horrific things.”

“The clips are taken out of context.”

“But he has so many supporters and so much reach.”

“It’s just a persona.”

If you wouldn’t make excuses like this for Alex Jones, don’t make them for Hasan Piker...

Why won’t fellow Democrats condemn these abhorrent views from DSA?

How is embracing Hamas a “big tent” issue for Democrats?

One of the biggest propaganda victories in modern history was convincing millions of people that Palestine was basically a frozen civilization: an ancient Arab population sitting in the same villages for a thousand years until, one day, foreign Jews suddenly showed up from Europe.

It’s an astonishingly dishonest version of history.

Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire. Its population was never frozen in time. People, including Jews, Arabs, and others, migrated throughout the region, settled, moved, intermarried, and crossed boundaries that were nothing like today’s national borders. Arabs came into Palestine from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere, just as people moved out of Palestine and throughout the wider region.

Yes, Arabs lived in Palestine before modern Zionism. So did Jews. And yes, much of the later Arab population boom came from natural increase.

But somehow Palestinian ancestry gets treated as if it comes with a 1,000-year certificate of authenticity, while a Jew whose people originated in that exact land is automatically branded a “foreign settler.”

And the irony is incredible: an Arab can immigrate to America or Europe and immediately call himself American, British, French, or German. Yet a Jew can return to the land where the Jewish people originated, where Jewish civilization was born, and where Jews have maintained a continuous presence for thousands of years, buy land, build a house, and somehow he is still the “foreign settler.”

It’s a political mythology built around one ridiculous rule:

Every Arab is presumed indigenous, no matter where he immigrates to.

Every Jew is presumed foreign.

AIPAC supports a bipartisan Israel-America relationship. It is not some kind of Pro-Dem group and does not pretend to be. No non-partisan lobbying group is. You know this. But you single AIPAC out because you want to rile up your Jew-hating base that loves to demonize Jews the way you do, and have your entire career.

He couldn't condemn the attempted slaughter of Jewish kids in a terrorist attack on a Michigan synagogue without also condemning Israel.

BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed has won the Michigan Senate Democratic primary, the AP reports.

When a Hezbollah-inspired terrorist attempted to bomb 140 Jewish preschoolers in Michigan, El-Sayed said it was a “risk” for him to condemn it and that the terrorist acted out of hurt.

Now, he’s one step closer to representing those preschoolers in the Senate.

Today is Troy Melton’s 16th career start with the Tigers, and the 3rd time he has gone 7+ scoreless innings. Casey Mize (103 starts) and Matthew Boyd (158 starts) also did that 3 times with the Tigers.
