This is not a normal statement from a normal cabinet member of a major nation. 

This statement from Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir is the statement of a war criminal. 

The racist, extremist Israeli government does not deserve one nickel of U.S. support.

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

The ADL is dangerously conflating the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC with “the Jewish community.”

In an apparent policy shift, the ADL is endorsing the antisemitic dual loyalty trope. 👇

Just saw a cool 1961 Italian war film The Brigand directed by Renato Castellani at Film at Lincoln Center. It is the full three hour cut of the film that was censored when it came out. Great cinematography of a peasant uprising and the Italian countryside:
