When Tehran hanged several activists, killed many hundreds in the aftermath of 2022 woman life freedom movement, the UN didn’t lower its flag in honor of the victims. But when the man who ordered those killings died, the flag flew halfmast. And that’s the moral state of the UN.

Translate it into German, add chants of 'Sieg Heil!' and this could be 1933. At this same GW campus one day earlier, anti-Israel protesters displayed a banner reading 'Final Solution.'

A terrible evil is at loose in America.

Jeff Jacoby I will not wear this shirt again.

Of all the Oct. 7 video clips, I think this haunts me the most. You hear the horror in the voice of an Israeli first responder at the Nova music site as he realizes all the young people are dead. He keeps pleading for someone—anyone—to give a sign of life.

#Arguable : It's appalling that L.A. would pick April 30 — the date of the fall of Saigon — to bestow an honor on Jane Fonda. Vietnamese Americans are outraged by this new accolade for 'Hanoi Jane,' who made propaganda broadcasts for North Vietnam in 1972

 ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

New footage released from The Hostage and Missing Families Forum shows the horrific kidnapping of 5 female Israeli hostages: Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Adam Berger, Daniella Gilboa and Naama Levy

They are just 5 of the 128 who have been held hostage

Biden insists that Israel not invade Rafah — but then, Washington always tries to restrain Israel from defeating its enemies. History shows that when Israel acts in its own best interest, it wins US respect for not being a pushover.

And what an insult as well to Catalans. For Hamas, Pedro Sánchez favors statehood but for Catalonia — never.

Some things never change. #Ireland was 'neutral' during World War II, meaning it was objectively pro-Nazi. Today Dublin still makes common cause with those who seek the extermination of Jews.

Time and again, when Israel has attacked its enemies it has done so despite strong opposition from the U.S. Eventually, Washington has almost always agreed that Israel was right to act.

Actually, Ben, taxpayers in this state making $1 million and up were already forking over 24% of all income taxes collected — and that was before the new tax rate was imposed.

Is this chaplain out of his mind? Iranians are thrilled that Raisi, a vicious monster, is dead.

Of all the problems California is facing, somebody decided it was time to go after the (checks notes) people practicing yoga with their friends on the beach.

Boston's busiest neighborhoods are desperately short of road space for the vehicles that actually provide the city's transportation. So hey, let's make driving even more difficult for them.

The important thing is that 7 bike riders should be indulged.

The Pope is entitled to his opinion, I guess, but Scripture has a different one:

'The intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth' — Genesis 8:21

'The heroes of Ireland’s republican tradition, like Bobby Sands, must be turning in their graves at the pro-Palestine posturing of today’s republicans and the broader left,' writes Iain Fitzsimons in @SpikedOnline.

'What would they have thought of Irish republicans if they had

It baffles Salman Rushdie that anti-Israel fanatics screaming about war in Gaza never say anything negative about Hamas, the Islamist Jew-hating terrorists who started it.

I can only imagine how revolted Rushdie must be by the Islamists' useful idiots.
