Why do I have to learn about some hippies' shitty little boat on the second anniversary of the most deadly act of antisemitic violence since the Holocaust? I will never forgive these idiots for this.

You don't trust the Israeli Foreign Ministry. I don't trust a bunch of Swedish Hippies on a racing boat.

I'm going to go with the Israeli Foreign Ministry:

Two years ago, the world witnessed horrific terrorist attacks on October 7th. Today, the First Lady and I light Government House yellow to remember all the innocent lives lost, to stand with the families still grieving, and to honor the strength of those who continue to carry unimaginable pain.

This is an unacceptable act of antisemitism that must be unequivocally condemned. After a summer marked by political violence in our state, we must all stand up, speak out, and act to combat hate.

I am watching We Will Dance Again. I don't want to forget their stories. The survivors of the Nova Festival have to live with them everyday, but I am choosing to feel their pain today, and carry it for them. If you haven't seen it yet, it is worth it - on Paramount Plus, and Amazon.

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.

Every death is a tragedy. But Hamas must bear much of the blame for starting this horrific conflict. They're thugs and care only about killing Jews and creating martyrs out of their own people
