As I watch some my friends seem to be ok with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I wonder if they would celebrate my death if I was killed while at work because a left wing gunmen decided the "Zionist" in the California Legislature were an oppressor and open fire at a Jewish event I'm attending.

I commented about how @nbcla.com failed to mention NY Times editor in chief was Jewish and that the red paint splashed on his home was likely a hate crime.

On October 7 I was 3 days into a 4 day music festival.
I spent 10/7 and 10/8 waiting for one of the artists to acknowledge the mass slaughter of Jews just trying to enjoy music. It never happened.
I never imagined I should be grateful no artist was leading chants cheering on the death of Jews.

The atrocious shooting in DC last night was about anti semitism, not anti Zionism. The victims were not murdered at the Israeli Embassy. They were murdered at a Jewish Museum during an event by the American Jewish Committee to discuss increased aid missions to the Middle East and Africa.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

Yes. I'm sure the person who came up with this ad did it "ignorantly and not with malice." It's not like it not only mocks the Holocaust but also does it using the colors of the Nazi flag.
