Alas, Mr. Congressman, I'm not lying. And I started this line of questioning assuming you were telling the truth. I've written long essays on extremist Israeli violence in the West Bank. I know it happens. I was ready, at first glance, to believe it happened here. But it didn't. This wasn't Israeli violence. This was agitprop for your American audiences.

I said explicitly that I'm not familiar with the details of that area. It took a lot of effort for JPost to find out what it found out -- which was that it was a closed military zone only recently opened.

But if you'd coordinated your visit with Israeli authorities, this would have been sorted out from the start. Those soldiers weren't angry or aggressive, they seemed mostly just confused about the status of the area and how to handle your visit.

Because, you know, there was no coordination.

JPost suggests all that in the article you yourself shared.

And what of the violence? Your group had cameras -- a professional photographer and at least one bodycam -- yet you've produced no evidence that I've seen of the violence you claim to have experienced.

Remember that you claimed the violence was sufficient to demand that Netanyahu order the prosecution of those soldiers.

I've seen that sort of violence before; if you produce that footage, I'll join your demand for prosecution. That's not rhetoric. I really will, wholeheartedly.

But if you don't, I think it's safe to assume you blew up a small inconvenience caused by your own refusal to talk to Israelis.

In a similar vein, you used the word "detained" as if you were unlawfully held against your will -- and hide behind its second meaning, that you were a bit delayed in driving forward into the area. The first is on the spectrum of kidnapping crimes, the second is the sort of problem you'd encounter at the entrance to a federal building as you search your pockets for an ID. Which was it?

Anyway, you were angling for some domestic political brownie points, and congratulations, you got 'em.

@BarackObama Both parties have participated in gerrymandering over the years. Stop trying to trick people into thinking this is a republican phenomenon to create rampant mistrust. Both sides should stop this, agree on a fair rules based policy and then may the best candidate win.

[Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth]

This is 100% correct.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

Exactly. This is the gamble.

Special thanks to @CBSNews for having me on tonight to speak about China’s role in building up Iran’s arsenal and capabilities.

And especially why Xi Jinping is in trouble.

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

America went to war in Iran because Iran made itself a Chinese weapon. I explain in detail in my piece in @TheFP.

America didn’t need to do this -- to invest so much political capital and military firepower -- just to shore up a second-run Israeli operation, nor is it reasonable to believe, as Secretary Rubio claimed, that it's all because of potential Iranian counter-strikes against US forces.

Months of American buildup, America setting the timing and pulling the trigger on the operation, and the growing and increasingly dangerous strategic ties between Iran and China for America's ability to face down its chief adversary in the Pacific -- these are all evidence that this was an American decision, and that Israel is playing second fiddle this time around.

There are now two wars underway in Iran, not one: The longstanding Israel-Iran war playing out on the regional chessboard, and the much larger US-China confrontation on the global chessboard.

They overlap significantly in terms of the two nations' banks of targets in Iran -- but that overlap may not hold to the end.

Two wars, not one. If you can only see one of them, you'll misunderstand what's happening now and what happens next.

Yeah, he's an antisemite.

The theory that all evil in your world ultimately traces back to the Jews - that's what antisemitism is.

[Zaher Abu Elnaser @zaherabuelnaser]

Video footage shows Hamas, disguised as IDF soldiers, abducting an Arab citizen of Israel, humiliating and assaulting him - as he pleads for his life on October 7th.

It is still unclear if he is alive. We do know one thing, however: both Jews and Arabs are victims of Hamas.

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

The world would be a much better place if it had more “outposts" like Israel.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Welp, no Jews involved, so no problem

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@SecBlinken on family attacked by Hamas: "The father's eye gouged out, the mother's breast cut off, the girl's foot amputated, the boy's fingers cut off before they were executed, and then their executioners sat down and had a meal. That is what this society is dealing with."

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

They fully intend to murder every one of these children, and to do so on camera. That's why they took them.

Tonight, the Arch of Titus, in Rome.

We stand with #Israel. 🇮🇹 🇮🇱

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

I am stunned by the extraordinary lack of basic humanity & blind allegiance to destruction and terrorism on display at this rally over the weekend.

There is nothing “democratic” about this #supportisrael

I just read an account by an El Al crew member.

An Orthodox Jewish man who preferred to remain anonymous stood quietly near the El Al counter at New York's JFK Airport yesterday.

Anyone who showed him an IDF call-up notice got his ticket paid for.

He paid for 250 tickets.

.@NicRobertsonCNN: "But I'm moving on. But I wanted to share that because it's important for people to understand, but I'll move on to tonight and what's happening here where we are now."

@JakeTapper: "You don’t actually — Nic, you don’t actually have to move on."

Robertson: "It seems and feels a bit — yeah?"

Tapper: "You don’t actually have to move on because, look, this is one of the most horrifying terrorist attacks in the history of the world...[T]his was done person to person, individual to individual, you know, terrorist to child, terrorist to young girl, terrorist to senior citizen. The remarkably up-close and personal nature of this barbarism is one of the things that strikes you about it."
