A Fox News poll released today:
We saw this sobering documentary at the “Other Israel” Film Festival the other night, which I recommend highly. Kudos to JCC Manhattan for being the only venue in the United States willing to screen this award-winning Israeli filmmaker, Tal Michael’s, latest work.

Before the intifada, Israel’s experiment to create a new Palestinian leadership to replace the PLO left both sides with tragic consequences.

The Epstein stuff thats already been released points to conduct so monstrous that I don’t think I want to know what the GOP (and surely others) are trying so hard to keep under wraps
Republicans are bracing for a significant chunk of the conference to vote for Khanna and Massie’s Epstein file disclosure bill once it lands on the House floor.
Republicans expecting mass defections on Epstein vote
Democrats pushing the discharge petition predicted that Republicans would rush to support the measure once it hit the floor.

If you told me in 1990 that, in 2025, a black President of South Africa had filed a lawsuit accusing Israel of genocide against Palestinians and, at the same time, a U.S. President named Donald Trump had accused South Africa of genocide against white Afrikaners, I wouldn't have believed you.

If you think it’s morally acceptable to oppose Israel’s nonnegotiable condition that Hamas be removed from control over neighboring Gaza then you have lost your way, at best.

If "Trump Derangement Syndrome" exists, it appears that belief in the "The Russia Hoax" is a false positive diagnosis.

When has a nation in a defensive war of survival ever before been pressured to disarm and sacrifice itself to avoid civilian casualties on the other side? Protests calling for an Israel arms embargo have only strengthened the extremists while impeding peaceful Israeli and Palestinian co-existence.

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

Dear Trump-voting Jews: Two things can be true at once: 1- the Democratic Party helped platform left-wing antisemitism in order to avoid alienating its base; and 2- the Trumpublican Party will platform right-wing antisemitism as long it's practiced by Trump loyalists who will serve the kleptocracy.
