I am absolutely stunned by this exchange. Especially as I look back a few years and recall how the Trump kids were assaulted by the media.
A University of Chicago student asks a left wing reporter about the media cover up for Hunter Biden. Watch his question and watch her arrogant reaction. It perfectly encapsulates why so many distrust the media.

The Vice President is supposed to preside over joint sessions of Congress. @KamalaHarris refusal to do so when the Prime Minister of Israel makes his first public address in the United States since Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, tells you everything you need to know about.

Tucker, my friend, before the Palestinians took over Bethlehem pursuant to the Oslo Accords in the mid-1990’s, Bethlehem was under Israeli control and its population was 80% Christian. It was one of the centers of the Christian world. Since Oslo and the resulting Palestinian.
Ep. 91 How does the government of Israel treat Christians? In the West, Christian leaders don’t seem interested in knowing the answer. They should be. Here’s the view of a pastor from Bethlehem.

You are a disgrace. You yourself covered the Syrian Civil War where 230,000 civilians were murdered, including through chemical attacks. The death toll in Gaza is less than 5% of that and it includes Hamas terrorists. Other war zones over the last 100 years have even been worse.
“The worst ever.” Those are the stark words of @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths, about the death and destruction in Gaza. Having worked in the field for decades, he adds “I don’t say that lightly.” Watch our full conversation.

Congresswomen, delete this tweet. It is a lie. It is demonstrably false. And it is leading to violence against Jews. Under the law, you are responsible for the foreseeable consequences of your reckless actions.
Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. @POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many.

Thank you Professor Franke for creating a comprehensive list of Columbia and Barnard faculty members siding with Hamas against Israel. You have saved the clear-thinking world endless hours of trying to separate the tone-deaf, morally bankrupt and intellectually stunted Columbia.
Columbia/Barnard faculty have signed an open letter supporting our students, making the point that identifying with the suffering of Gazans and historically contextualizing the current war in Israel/Gaza is not anti-Semitic. Please read and share.

Ok, I’ll play. Ms. Weingarten, expert as you are in matters of hostage negotiations and national security, please tell me the terms of the deal that Hamas had agreed to that Netanyahu refused. Please be specific:. 1) how many hostages were to be released and when?;. 2) which.
Our hearts are breaking for the families of the hostages Hamas murdered. At the same time anger must be placed at Netanyahu’s feet for his refusal to consummate cease fire/ hostage release deal.

You are the worst person I have encountered on X. There aren’t enough words to fully explicate how vile this is.
Zionists are asking that we believe the uncorroborated eyewitness account of *men* who describe alleged rape victims in odd, fetishistic terms. Shame on Israel for not seriously investigating claims of rape and collecting rape kits.

Please resign. Your post, in simple terms, translates to “I hope Hamas wins this war so it can continue to mutilate, rape and torture Jews.” How shameful for the head of the UN. How indicative of the UN’s moral bankruptcy. Here’s the right message: “Hamas must immediately.
I deeply regret that military operations have started again in Gaza. I still hope that it will be possible to renew the pause that was established. The return to hostilities only shows how important it is to have a true humanitarian ceasefire.

Help me with this: DOJ is prosecuting Trump for sharing information with a reporter, when DOJ itself shared the same information with CNN.
The Trump audio:. "See as president I could have declassified it. Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret.". "Now we have a problem," a staffer responds.

You truly are a horrible person. To be factual, a single incident is suspected of an Israeli abusing a Palestinian terrorist/prisoner. The police have arrested the suspects who are alleged to either have committed or condoned the act. If the allegations are true they will be.
So it’s been confirmed Israel is raping and torturing Palestinian detainees—why are Christians silent on this? . I’ll tell you why. Plus, I weigh in on that ‘ballerina farm’ interview, and Trump vs. black reporters. Join us LIVE in 20 mins!.

Message to @Columbia . If your faculty thinks rape, slaughter, kidnapping and mutilating babies, and torturing civilians is a type of “counteroffensive,” in a military conflict, you have lost your values as a once great institution (of which I am an alumnus). Just do the right.
Columbia School of Social Work is holding a “teach in” this week on the “Palestinian Counteroffensive” of October 7th. Have they lost their minds? Referring to the rape of women, beheading of babies and slaughter of civilians as a “counteroffensive” is perhaps Columbia’s most

Did you just say that condemning Hamas for its sexual atrocities against women somehow offends female members of Congress? I am having difficulty discerning where your stupidity ends and your venality begins.
It is appalling that AIPAC is targeting women members of Congress who have survived sexual assault with this horrific rhetoric. Each and every day, their role in US politics becomes a greater scandal. They are the NRA of foreign policy. Of course they don’t want a ceasefire.

Blinken is 100% wrong. I researched this for over a year with many State Department lawyers. There is nothing illegal about Jews living in their biblical homeland. Indeed, Undersecretary of State Eugene Rostow, also the Dean of the Yale Law School (who negotiated UNSCR 242),.
BREAKING: Blinken overturns “Pompeo Doctrine” and says Israeli settlements in the West Bank are “inconsistent with international law”. The move comes a day after Israel announces thousands of new housing units in the settlements.

When the history of the Israel-Hamas war is written, the @nytimes will be remembered for its tactical assistance to Hamas. It began with reporting that minimized the October 7 attack and maximized the casualties to Gaza civilians. When that didn’t end the battle, it shifted to.

“Let me be clear” — really? You had a whole day yesterday before the entire nation to be “clear.” And you failed spectacularly! You think a single tweet, not subject to cross-examination or other follow up inquiry, fixes this? You are insulting the entire country!.
Statement from President Gay: There are some who have confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students. Let me be clear: Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic.

It’s been more than 24 hours since Hezbollah murdered 12 children in Israel. Trump has condemned Hezbollah; even Biden has done the same. @KamalaHarris just recently had one of her advisors issue a “statement.” . Look, Madame VP, no one is forcing you to run for president. If.

Not surprised but here are three questions that @amanpour didn’t ask the Queen:. 1) why is it that more than half the Jordanian population is Palestinian but the Palestinian citizens are forced to live under a Hashemite dictatorship?. 2) why isn’t Jordan willing to accept a.
Queen Rania of Jordan was interviewed by @amanpour today, and I have posted the entire interview along with some summary notes. As a student of Jordanian history, I have watched hundreds of interviews with Queen Rania over the last two decades; I have never seen her so

It’s bad enough that ordinary hateful people are spreading false libels about Israeli soldiers but for a U.S. Senator to repeat those accusations is just despicable. Senator — this didn’t happen and you must apologize to the soldiers who literally risked their lives dealing with.
Children are starving in Gaza. Instead of opening up the borders and allowing humanitarian aid to come in, Israeli soldiers are shooting people who are desperately trying to get food off of trucks. This must stop. The U.S. cannot continue funding the Netanyahu war machine.

If any kids are hurt tonight it’s because their teachers, parents and people like you told them they didn’t need to observe the law or respect others with different views or respect private property.
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

You gotta love how @nytimes gets the Middle East so wrong. It’s now reporting that Israel’s battle against Hamas is “poisoning” its relationship with the Arab world. It misses entirely the reality that most moderate Sunni governments are secretly rooting for Israel to annihilate.
