Today was the first snow of the season in Paris, France.
And of course, the first thing residents saw in the quiet suburb of Neuilly, home to many Jewish families, was a giant swastika.
Hate us because of Israel? Then stop giving us reasons to move there.

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide.
📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

In my entire life, I've never seen any President actively ask the Supreme Court to intervene so that they don't have to feed hungry people.
It's truly obscene, I don't care what party or religion you belong to.
It's foul and inexcusable.

Hey, @WSJ.com, if Hamas broke the truce by killing two Israeli soldiers, how is it Israel's *response* that "tested" the ceasefire?
Instead of following the anti-Israel media herd, how about using some common sense reporting?
