I believe yesterday (Friday, 20 /10) Rep. Tlaib caused a riot on the Capitol steps similar to Jan 6. I saw no one wearing MAGA hats, I saw no skin heads only radical, hateful Americans, and possibly other anti-Semites, supporting the cause/actions of Hamas terrorists. There was little mas media coverages as when there was such about Charlottesville.
Frankly, speaking for myself, I am glad anti-Semitism is now out in the open even though the mass media is doing little to report it's occurrence. It is far easier to acknowledge that which is public than buried/resides deep in the sewer. Now that the Democrat Party has allowed itself to be defined by "The Squad" it should not escape "deplorable" voters when it comes time to vote.
Yes, it is far easier to rip/confront the scab of hatred when it surfaces like the evil it is than when it lies dormant. anti-Semitism now has a face/the avid support of America's terrorists. It is now embraced/tolerated by the administration of America's elite colleges and universities and engaged in by their radical student bodies. It no longer can be denied, the Democrat Party and it's friends at The NYT are repeating The Och's Family's denial of the Holocaust, their effort to hide, behind their German Jewish roots, fearing that would harm them.
anti-Semitism and support of terrorists, who perform heinous and inhumane acts, are not the basis of American beliefs. We are a better people. However, we allowed this virus, like Covid, to infect the body politic and it has begun to tear our nation apart.. We have tolerated The Democrat Party's weaponization of politics, attempt to intimidate and silence the nation's decent people, to destroy the character and reputation of others whose views they disagree with, because they refuse to believe facts that offend their ideological garbage. Yes, the enemy remains "US"
Finally, when the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah Iran tell you they want to kill you, and proceed to behead babies, believe them. When rabid students support terrorists, confront them, make them pay a deserved price by not hiring them for they have earned this justified rebuke. They are not the foundation on which to build our democracy. They are scum and wish to destroy our nation. Mark Levin had it right when he wrote: "The Democrat Party Hates America."

Hamas's release, in my opinion. is designed to continue to postpone Israel's invasion of Gaza? It may backfire because it allows the IAF to continue to destroy Hamas/ facilities.
Everything terrorists do is calculated for propaganda benefits. It is generally effective because Hamas knows it can depend upon anti-Semites, misinformed campus wimps etc. to continue rioting and supporting terrorism.

Dear Richard,
Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Israel's special envoy for combating antisemitism, recently slammed media outlets in a Fox News Digital article, accusing them of dangerous reporting that empowers terrorists. She highlighted how they quickly blamed Israel for the Gaza hospital blast that killed hundreds of people without verifying facts. Subsequent evidence revealed that the actual cause was a rocket fired by the Iran-funded Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Cotler-Wunsh also expressed her concerns about organizations like the United Nations. She urged them to stand against such "genocidal terror" narratives and to recognize the true sources of these tragedies.

The House GOP's Mercenary Caucus
A majority doesn't count for much in a chamber where every man is a king.
By Kimberley A. Strassel
The House remains speakerless, the chamber’s Republicans mired in a humiliating standoff. It might be tempting to think those blocking Rep. Jim Jordan from the top post are more high-minded in their opposition than those who ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy. Think again. Different nominee, different holdouts—same grandstanding, same parochialism. Same mess.
Top blame for this embarrassment still rests with Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and his unmerry band of exhibitionists, who gutted Mr. McCarthy’s speakership and left their party in a slow bleed. They had no follow-up plan to the McCarthy ouster beyond also blocking his obvious replacement, Majority Leader Steve Scalise. One notable joke is that the Gaetz crew claimed the putsch necessary to stop House “chaos” and return to regular order. Two weeks into this spectacle and standstill, how’s that going?
Yet two failed votes into Mr. Jordan’s so-far-unsuccessful bid to take the gavel, the fault has spread to a different band of malcontents. Just as a small minority bucked the will of a conference that overwhelmingly backed Mr. McCarthy, a small minority is now bucking the will of a conference that this week overwhelmingly voted to give Mr. Jordan the job. This might all be over save for a new crew of limelighters.
The press is working mightily to give these holdouts cover for their opposition—the better to prolong the GOP disarray. The media suggests their intransigence is somehow more principled than that of the McCarthy rebels. One hilarious excuse is that the “no” votes have been pushed beyond human limit by a “pressure campaign” by Jordan allies. Please. Washington didn’t become “mean” overnight, and the “pressure” of this debate is no more or less than that of any other intraparty fight. If the poor, fragile creatures can’t handle the stress of a mere leadership vote, God help them should ObamaCare repeal come to the floor.
Another pretext is that some “moderate” Republicans in Biden-leaning districts just can’t risk a vote for—as the New York Times
describes him—the “hard right” Mr. Jordan. The Times bestows the same descriptor on pretty much any member to the right of Nancy Pelosi. Many Republicans in competitive districts did vote for Mr. Jordan—on the obvious grounds that continued GOP upheaval is a far greater risk to their re-election.
As backroom negotiations and public statements prove, what’s really going on is more parochial and self-serving, not unlike the Gaetz rebellion. The Jordan refuseniks include a claque of New Yorkers holding back their votes over demands that hard-working Americans in flyover states once again be forced to subsidize New York’s insane tax rates by reimposing full deductibility of state and local taxes. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito on Twitter: “I want a Speaker who understands Long Island’s unique needs. Restoring the SALT deduction, safeguarding 9/11 victim support funding, and investing in critical infrastructure are our priorities.” By all means, let’s prioritize Long Island.
The Empire State crew is joined by a group of appropriator cardinals who see in their opposition to the small-government Mr. Jordan an opportunity to keep the spending spigots open. After all, what’s the need for a speaker to deal with war in Israel or $33 trillion in debt by comparison with the freedom to keep spending?
There are the usual grandstanders, who love the trailing media and who issue regular updates about their latest thoughts about and conversations with “Kevin” and “Jim” and “Steve.” And then there’s the hurt-feelings caucus, grumpy over the treatment handed out to Messrs. McCarthy and Scalise, refusing to vote for Mr. Jordan on the grounds that this will somehow reward Mr. Gaetz. This appears to include Mr. Scalise himself, who, while a member of leadership, has refused to issue a public endorsement of the man his caucus nominated.
Largely absent are particularized policy or procedural or leadership complaints against Mr. Jordan, at least not of a type specific enough that he might address them or satisfy demands. Also absent from many opponents is any considered alternative. While some members cast protest votes in favor of Messrs. McCarthy or Scalise, many just voted random names. Colorado Rep. Ken Buck, who voted to oust Mr. McCarthy, refused to cast votes for either Mr. Scalise or Mr. Jordan as nominee, and voted against Mr. Jordan on the floor twice, joked that in the most recent round he’d cast his lot for Rep. Tom Emmer because “I don’t like Tom Emmer. I figured this would be the worst job in America.” There’s serious for you.
The bigger point is that the name on the ballot no longer matters: McCarthy, Scalise, Jordan, Jesus. Members drew a lesson from the McCarthy fight in January and the later Gaetz revolt: We are, any one of us, kings and queens now. While the vast majority of the GOP conference remains focused on what’s best for party and country, a small but significant number of mercenary members intend to glory in their power. Good luck getting through to Washington’s new and ever-shifting royalty.

| by Peter Berkowitz via Real Clear Politics It is not university administrators’ job to opine on behalf of their institutions on the great issues of the day. However, after decades of taking sides, usually supporting decidedly progressive causes and priorities, it is grotesque for university presidents and deans to only discover the virtue of institutional neutrality following Hamas jihadists’ massacre of at least 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians. and:

BIBI must not succumb to the senseless, anti-Semitic calls for Israel to cease fire. This is all a clever move on the part of Hamas and the consequence of a muddled president's speech that, while good, gave Hamas an opportunity to throw a wrench into Israel's totally justified decision to wipe Hama off the map. Should Hezbollah continue to escalate, they too, along with Iran must also be destroyed.
You cannot call up over 300,000 troops, disrupt an entire economy and then walk away from terrorists and not expect continued repetition of more savagery.
The world's anti-Semites deserve a finger.
