The antidote to the offensive spin being slung about in Ann Arbor right now comes directly from @SethAMandel in Commentary, and it’s the truth.

It is important to see beyond any doubt that every Hamas-worshiping tentifada activist knows exactly he’s doing. There’s no “youthful innocence” here. No one’s just getting carried away.

A guide to the psychological projection of Israel's enemies: if you pay attention to *when* the spurious accusation is made, you'll know what crime the accusers themselves or their supporters have likely committed, and when the news will break: commentary.org/seth-mandel/t…

Bethany is out of town and texted me during the third quarter to ask about the game. My response:
“Knicks are losing by a massive margin.”
I’m afraid if I text it’ll wake her now so let’s just say she’s going to be very confused tomorrow at first.

Does Natalie Portman believe Israel is a colonialist state? Does Nadav Lapid really believe that if you take the ideological messaging in his work seriously you *shouldn't* boycott Israelis--including Nadav Lapid?

Senior US official tells me 20 targets inside Iran were targeted tonight. Though US strikes have ended, according to CENTCOM, the situation is still “active,” and US military prepared to respond if Iran decides to retaliate.

That it’s Gillibrand who has to put out this statement because she’s at DSCC is an extra layer of degradation
Jun 10
DSCC Chair Gillibrand: Over the past year, we have created a path to win a Democratic Senate majority and put a stop to the chaos and damage of the Trump administration by defeating the Republicans who enable his harmful agenda. Susan Collins has never been more vulnerable after she voted with Trump 96 percent of the time, confirmed his far-right judicial nominees, and took millions from special interests while voting to rip health care away from Mainers. In November, Maine voters will elect Graham Platner, and we will win a Senate majority

You don’t have to say the strikes were a “proportional response.” We sound like we’re asking Iran to please not shoot us again. Let’s rediscover the virtues of self-respect please.
Jun 10
CENTCOM: "U.S. forces completed self-defense strikes against Iran...in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. The forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters. U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression"

Why is the big Jewish event each year specifically an 'Israel Day?'
Because a celebration of Israel *is* a celebration of Jewish peoplehood, of the Jewish nation--not just the Jewish nation-state. Americans need to rediscover Jewish nationhood:

TPSI: “Shockingly, when voters are informed of sexual assault rumors, Platner improves, leading by 8.1%”
“This confirms suspicions that Democrats may be looking for their own Trump. Even more surprisingly, 75% of voter age 18-29 support Platner after being informed of the rumors.”
