Hillel Zeitlin had the juice.
Genuinely unique thinker, great writer, has stuff so deep and insightful it'll stop you in your tracks. What a genuinely horrible loss for klal Yisrael we didn't get more of him because of the Nazis

A single fir-tree, lonely,
On a northern mountain height,
Sleeps in a white blanket,
Draped in snow and ice.

His dreams are of a palm-tree,
Who, far in eastern lands,
Weeps, all alone and silent,
Among the burning sands.

Sludgy, country-inflected rock music instrumentals? Yes. It's that sort of night.

Haley is 100% correct and also 100% salty.
Nikki Haley trashes Trump’s appointment of Tulsi Gabbard, saying she has sided with Russia, China, Iran & Syria against the US: “DNI is not a place for a Russian-Iranian-Syrian-Chinese sympathizer.”

Schatz and Ossoff joined Bernie, eh? Disappointing.
UPDATE: 18 senators vote in support of blocking tank rounds to Israel, with 1 present.
Yea: Heinrich, Hirono, Kaine, King, Markey, Merkley, Ossoff, Sanders, Schatz, Smith, Warren, Welch, Durbin, Van Hollen, Shaheen, Lujan, Warnock, Murphy.
Present: Baldwin
Carper was a Yea and then flipped to Nay.

Good. Waiting for them to update the roll call to see who the 17 other yes votes were on this other than Bernie. But I'm glad this thing is dead, and decisively so.

I don't even know if it's necessary to "move to the right;" it's more a case of wanting leaders to talk about things like actual human beings and not a bunch of humorless college professor robots who think everyone outside of academia is contemptible and clueless.
It is a simple fact the reason so many stories about democratic campaign operatives saying the party needs to move to the right is because they are trying to create a permission structure for candidates to loudly distance themselves from the left aka all of you.

Do video embeds work here? Because this version of Hemi Rudner's song "Geula" is great.

This is good, and I think Biden honestly supports Israel, but this administration has been so wishy-washy that it's hard to trust them about anything. There are still reports that things like armored bulldozers, helicopters, and certain munitions are currently being withheld.

So which is it?

Israel: Reported in almanacs as approximately 8,600 square miles of physical existence on planet Earth; actual size: infinite, existing rent free in antisemites' heads.

Last year, Emily Hand, who was kidnapped, turned 9 while in Hamas terrorist captivity in Gaza. This year, on her 10th birthday and her first since being released, she was surprised by Noa Argamani and Hila Shoshani, Hamas hostage survivors, who celebrated with her and brought her birthday treats.🎗️

"My heart is in the east, and I in the uttermost west —
How can I find savour in food? How shall it be sweet to me?
How shall I render my vows and my bonds, while yet
Zion lieth beneath the fetter of Edom, and I in Arab chains?"

In 586 BCE, the Babylonian Empire under the leadership of Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem, destroying the First Temple and exiling many Jews from our ancient homeland.

This is what Babylon looks like today. And Jerusalem is still the beating heart of a reborn and thriving Jewish state.

Hear me out, what if European cops enforced the law instead of telling Jews and gays that the onus is on them to avoid potential mobs.

Is there anyone out there as good at this as Haviv Rettig Gur? The man has a gift for weaving history and current events into an easily understandable and fair picture.
