Orit Strook's sons, Zviki Strook, was once convicted and sentenced to two and a half years in prison for abducting and torturing a 15-year-old Palestinian child. He got out 9 months early.

Someone remove all his 9 children. The kids are not safe.

Oh look another rape. Israel calls it just another Tuesday.

The daughter of Orit Strook, the far-right Israeli Minister of Settlements, has filed a police complaint accusing her parents and one of her brothers of sexually assaulting her

Are we sure we want our greatest ally to be bunch of rapists?

New for Zeteo from Prem Thakker: It’s clear Washington and universities do care about campus safety – just only for one group: pro-Israel students.

Another large law firm capitulates. Absolutely shameful. These firms are helping Trump destroy the rule of law and democracy.

If Willkie Farr & Gallagher won't defend itself, why on earth would any client trust it to defend the client?

I continue to ask for, but do not see, blue state governors banding together to form a coalition to handle important multi-state fundctions.

We need a blue state health coalition, a blue state environment coalition, a blue state education coalition and so on.

For years conservatives and some liberals complained incessantly about ‘cancel culture’ and the lack of ‘free speech’ on campuses. None of that stuff comes even close to what the right is now doing in power, in terms of the open bullying and pressuring of colleges and censoring of curricula.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

The externalities of cars scale with weight, size and speed: space taken, gas burned, tire particulates, noise, pavement, cost to consumer and, above all, crash force, injuries and fatalities.

Shrinking cars would accomplish most of the goals of EVs with many ancillary benefits, like fewer deaths.
