If it was a test, most of them got zeros. That's what used to happen when you didn't show up.

Even though she might be our next President, Harris is no match for Bibi. Harris is taking her cue from Bernie and the rest of the gang, who see Israel as a pariah State. I am not a fan of Bibi either, though I support his defense of Israel in a war that Hamas started. In Bibi's earlier years, he helped Israel immensely by promoting and funding high-tech start-ups. However, he has outlived his use, and his reliance on the ultra-orthodox (a group with whom he does not even agree) is cynical and cruel. Now, it is time for Bibi to step down; he is harming Israeli democracy by not taking responsibility for his actions and thwarting hostage negotiations. His approval rating in Israel is hitting rock bottom. I doubt that a meeting with Harris will change either of their minds regarding Israel's future.

One more display of elder abuse & a pathetic attempt to gaslight & distort reality to create more distracting & further digging the ditch deeper & creating more instability. CORRUPTION let’s tune in & see how they’ll manipulate their captive confused constituents.

NOTHING CHANGED in the last 24 hours. WHOEVER IS running the country is also orchestrating this disrespectful display .

Joe serves NO real use after tonight. It’s the LIBERALS$ & they’re PASSIONS && they’re near absolute power on the STEERING wheel of all things education/information/indoctrination. Which universities allowed persecuting their Jewish students? Which SCOTUS doesn’t know the difference between a boy & girl & they put her in for life?

Of course Netanyahu is having a pow wow with a man’s man. This is about respect, keeping doors open or getting REAL & not FAKE information. Who did the President of Hungary go to see recently? The most powerful man in the world, the President of the USA 🇺🇸 Biden??? No he skipped it & wanted to see Trump.

This high school election with the drama does not instill confidence in ANYONE - even the KHivers will turn & jump ship… how far does this go??

Elect people who fight wars w/ words firstly - the art of a deal when real lives are at stake & those leaders involved * value* ALL human LIVES.

To KH - tonight might be her coming out party overly prepared trying really hard & even if she was honest to the core at it’s worse it’s like the lipstick 💄 on a pig 🐖 BUT it’s Team._Harris setting her up to talk like a truest intelligent & qualified leader. She’s just not the sharpest tool… It may be her REVEAL ( ie another like_the_DEBATE 6/12)

They are just buying time to sell the American people another HUMANGOUS set of LIES.

Now take a off the rose colored glasses 👓 & force yourself to L👀K & then force your ears to 👂 HEAR 👂; force your mind brain 🧠 to process & 🤔 think 🤔 WHO & WHAT your eyes REALLY see & what are you going to store in your brain after tonight’s gala?

It’s immoral to use people like this especially under these circumstances & so closely together- Biden at the DEBATE & all this build up like she’s the Prom Queen, or 2nd runner up now that Mr America can no longer perform his duties. Seriously insulting, arrogant & contemptuous trying to put Dem_nominee_crown 👑 dress her up 👗 high heel 👠💄& all.

It’s mean.

I just read Pelosi’s comment on X. She complained that Bibi failed to end the war and get the hostages back. I am slowly losing the ability to discern reality from the background gaslighting.

Couple things....possibly no one will be back to see this, but I want to comment on the speech.

1. I became a fan of John Fetterman today. Wearing a suit and tie showed enormous respect for Netanyahu, as well as the numerous times Fetterman stood up with applause.

2. I noted with interest Netanyahu's remark that if ICC charges against him prevail, America and other countries will have a big problem fighting terrorism in the future.

Are you noting all this Bari?

What's going to be your excuse for endorsing Kamala and not Trump come November?

If Harris is elected, there will be a second Holocaust against the Jews.

It will start with the nuking of Israel, but it will not end there. Assuming a massive Israeli retaliation that hits not only Iran but much of the Gulf oil/gas supply, the worldwide economic collapse would be unprecedented. Muslims and Marxists worldwide will be given a license to exterminate the world's remaining Jews.

As the feral "protestors" burn flags and destroy monuments in DC today, the VP signals her alliance with them with her terrible to insult to Netanyahu and to Israel. We now know where she and her party stand; vote accordingly.

If Harris is elected Israel will have to learn to survive without help from the U.S.. If Trump is elected Israel will have full support from the United States. This election is existential for Israel. The word "existential" is thrown around a lot these days mostly to scare people but in this case it is true. Few things are as black and white in this choice of candidates. If you are a Jew or anyone else who cares about Israel choose carefully.

There are already a lot of lame wishy washy statements about this issue on the forum as liberals hate to admit the truth, just as they hated to acknowledge Biden's mental decline until it was thrown in their faces.

I am an American Christian and I am embarrassed by our ridiculous VP's immature behavior today. I pray for Israel and our Jewish brothers and sisters every day. I don't and never will understand this ancient hatred.

The elected leader of our only ally in the Middle East is visiting Washington today.

Our President is ailing, mumbling something about Charlottesville into his tapioca pudding.

Our Vice President is visiting a sorority in Indiana in protest.

Our military is laser-focused in preparation for any world-wide event, training our troops in the proper use of pronouns and non-binary combat wear.

Israel is, indeed, alone in the world right now. Iran knows that, and acted on October 7. Now everyone knows that.

The noose will be tightened until Iran gets the nukes in a few months, then she will use them.

At that point, all bets are off as to the existence not only of Israel, but of all Jews.

I am pretty pessimistic about Harris and Bibi.

Very good chance she is worse than Obama in this regard.

Expand full comment

Israel would only have one option - go nuclear. And once the nukes start flying, things will proliferate and won't stop until likely the whole world is consumed. It won't be just Israel and Iran.

This is not as evil as inciting race riots for votes like they did in 2020 but it is a good reminder of how shameless and short sighted the Democrats are to appease the base.

Kamala Harris made an important statement today: she stands unequivocally with the Keffiyeh Klux Klan and its mission.

This has determined my vote in November.

Look, whether u are a dem or not the unavoidable truth is that the DNC is currently doing more than the RNC to normalize the mistreatment of Jews. Ironic given the historic support from Jews for the DNC, but there you have it. The campaign math is pretty simple Jews are about 2% of the US public and falling while Muslims are currently almost 2% of the US public and the fastest growing religion worldwide. There is also, I believe, a sense within the DNC that Jews have nowhere to go. That they have for so long been a stalwart of the DNC that a little normalized prejudice against them won't send them running to the RNC.

Among most of my Jewish family and friends this is proving to be correct, in that many cannot see themselves as republicans after being lifelong loyal dems, even as they acknowledge and even fear the antisemitic direction the DNC has increasingly followed. But among younger Jewish people I'm seeing a willingness to consider options outside the DNC. And of course, it goes without saying that the RNC is not a completely safe refuge for the Jews. The Charlottesville fiasco and Trump's dinner with Fuentes and Kayne are but two obvious examples of the problems Jews ought to have with that party.

But in a world of two lousy choices for American Jews and in which historically most Jews leaned to the DNC it stands to reason that over time that we will see a relative exodus of Jews out of the DNC and into the RNC. Or maybe more accurately a evening out of the distribution of Jews supporting the RNC and the DNC, which is a voter net loss to the DNC I believe the DNC is well aware of this and their campaign math tells them this is an acceptable loss.

It does however put American Jews in a unique position, since they are no longer electorally needed by the DNC (at least mathematically if not in terms of monetary support) and yet they are not a meaningful enough electoral block for the RNC to pick up so as to warrant policies that would make their party uniquely attractive to Jews. So Jews are somewhat uniquely in America, a demographic without a party vying for them. And this I believe is why it is uniquely the Jews who can be publicly discriminated against without real political ramifications. This is pretty easy to prove. The next time you hear a statement like the one John king made on CNN recently about Harris perhaps not selecting josh Shapiro as a VP because he is a Jew, think about whether he could have said such a thing about any other religious or racial or other demographic and not have been excoriated if not fired. The fact is, what King said is true. Democrats would have a hard time running a Jew, but if you swap out any other minority, while the statement may remain true, it is not one that could be made publicly without significant political repercussions.

If it's too difficult for you to type "Y-O-U," your message is too difficult for me to read. (Pet peeve of an English teacher.)

laugh out loud (see what I did there?) :) I have always taken the position that unless I'm actually writing the article myself instead of just offering some comments on it, some of the traditional conventions for writers are less required. But you are not the first person to find my shorthand annoying so I'm learning that my approach needs to change. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, my, thank you for being so gracious. Please forgive my being so critical and forward. I don't mind "lol" at all -- I just have a hard time with "u". Like I said, a pet peeve. I'm going to go read the rest of your comment now.

The irony is, by 2050 all minority groups will increase their % of the American people. Some by double digits. Hispanics will be the majority.

The only group that will not grow it's % of the American population is blacks. They are at 13-14% now. And that will not change by 2050. Unless of course the Dems get in charge and broaden the genocide of Black Americans by abortion.

Any Jew who thinks that both sides aren't filled with antisemites live in a bubble.

The difference is that the antisemites of the American Right hate Jews and want to send them all to Israel. The antisemites of the American Left hate Jews AND Israel and want them all to "go back to Poland" or some such bullshit.

Neither is optimal, but one is better.

As a conservative who knows many conservatives I cannot think of one who "hates Jews" or wants to "send them all to Israel.".

"Conservatives" aren't the problem, in the same way that not every pinko lefty wants Hamas to win. But Candace Owens exists, as does Nick Fuentes. And Nashville has some odd people visiting right now. Both parties accept their antisemites under the tent in order to finish first past the post.

How do you properly address awful people who support your candidacy?

The difference is clear right now. The Republican leadership recognizes our long-standing friendship with Israel. The Republican leadership supports Israel's right to exist. The Democratic leadership recognizes neither.
