Re the murder of children. Yes, that started October 7, and it was terrible. But there's information you appear not to know about the IDF and Gaza, or perhaps you remain willfully ignorant.

When a movement discards even the pretense of principle, what’s left is raw power. When truth no longer matters, morality is only a costume; there are no guardrails. That is what makes MAGA not just hypocritical, but dangerous to the very idea of democracy.

Indeed,that so much now depends on the whim of a terrorist group is a scandal.

The first paragraph would have been all that's needed.

The rest of it is unproven, mostly untrue rubbish, unfortunately.

Mamdani does deserve credit for his initial words.
But he needs to do better. Much better than this.

That so much now depends on the whim of a terrorist group is a scandal. If Hamas refuses, the world must be made to see that Palestinian misery is not the people’s inevitable fate, but the direct consequence of Hamas’s obstinacy.

Israel is at an existential pivot point. It never needed to go this far.
Two years after October 7, failures by Netanyahu, Biden, Trump and scores of others have brought Israel and the Middle East to a dire point.

...except that the photo is Tuvia Grossman, a Yeshiva student pulled from his taxi and beaten by hate filled Arabs.
This is just one example of poor reporting by @nytimes.com.

On September 30, 2000, an image of a bloodied “palestinian” teenager crouching in front of a club-wielding Israeli policeman made front page headlines in the Associated Press, New York Times, and other major media outlets. 1/8

But it turns out that the teenager was not a palestinian Arab – he was Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish American yeshiva student who was pulled from his taxi in Jerusalem by a mob of Arabs and beaten to an inch of his life. 3/8

What a story! Thanks for sharing.

In the months following #October7, we had hope for these babies.

We learned they’d been murdered—choked by the hands of a terrorist.

This is Hamas: pure hatred. It curdles the spirit of the world.

Stand up to it.

Demand that Hamas surrender and release the hostages.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has funded, armed, and directed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad for years. A sovereign Palestine without restrictions could easily remain Iran’s forward base against Israel.

October 7, 2023: The day that forever changed the Jewish people. The brutality, horrors, cruelty, killings, kidnappings were horrific acts of terror and the deadliest antisemitic event since the Holocaust.
Remember the victims: Each was an individual with a full life. May their memory be a blessing.

shared this in a chat on X & I realized given the world Today I should share with everyone -
There are bad people and good people in every group. I teach my students - you can hate an individual, you can hate an organization or a movement but never hate an entire people

Excellent point.

Hamas could end the war now by releasing the hostages.

It prefers war and the suffering it causes Gazans, Palestinians, and Israelis alike.

This is Hamas’s war.

Protest terrorism.

Demand that they #ReleaseTheHostages.
The emblem of Hamas has 2 swords. The emblem of Hezbollah has an assault rifle. The emblem of Israel has 2 olive branches.

Hamas must be stopped. All the hostages must be released to end this conflict.

Just a reminder that people facing a "genocide" wouldn't hold hostages to allow the "genocide" to continue.

I happen to know this for a fact, and not just via media reports. Trump is first and foremost a crook.
