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.

Mamdani failed to differentiate Hamas terrorists as he decries the deaths of 66,000 in Gaza - using Hamas Ministry of Health #s. On this solemn day of 10/7 he still felt the need to condemn Israel. To me that says a lot about his lack of compassion and concern for Jewish people.

Imagine if your child went to a concert & was taken hostage by terrorists after 400 of their fellow concert-goers were massacred & the world ignored your kid or celebrated his plight.

There's so much bias against Jewish people & it's heartbreaking!

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.

This is the fifth time they've done this.

Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.

And let us remember that the hostages being held in captivity were kidnapped from the NOVA music festival and Kibbutzim - and there are only several remaining alive hostages who were on active duty with the IDF - so Hamas is holding innocents and demanding killers in exchange.

If those on the boats really wanted aid to reach the Gazans they would have accepted offers for the transfer of aid. Instead they want chaos and to create an event to use for propaganda purposes. Quite hypocritical of those on the boats and their supporters. www.timesofisrael.com/navy-interce...

The fundamental underpinning of democracy, which we spread around the world, is an apolitical, independent criminal justice system.

James Comey’s case is a joke that will never stick. But the damage Trump is doing to the rule of law will leave a lasting stain.
