The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: Nicholas Kristof’s column on Israeli misdeeds relies on a patchwork of omissions, dubious sources and ever‑more lurid allegations, writes @rachelodonoghue

You know what? When there are terrorist attacks in the US by extremists I’d prefer that the same politicians and podcasters who egg them on with non stop inflammatory rhetoric and by endorsing Hamas rallies and who refuse to condemn phrases like “Globalize the intifada” and who blame everything on Jews don’t then try to act surprised or sympathetic when these attacks happen. It’s insulting and you’re not fooling anybody. I’d rather Mamdani be more like his wife who probably already smashed the like button a billion times and threw a party at Gracie Mansion. At least she owns it. Give me the straight forward hatred rather than the hypocrisy.
The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying. My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are shaken by this act of antisemitic violence. I am continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD will continue to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions across the five boroughs.

Guys that post was just the tip of the iceberg,
I found 70+ radical anti-Israel posts liked by Rama Duwaji, wife of Zohran Mamdani. One calls October 7 a "mass rape hoax." thefp.com/p/nyc-first-lady-l…
I would not recommend getting this card. The value isn’t what it appears to be — always read the fine print.
BREAKING: Robinhood buildt an AMEX Platinum killer. not even trying to be subtle. it's called "Robinhood Platinum".
See what you get at bottom of post...it's a long list!
Robinhood is moving upmarket and going straight after the customers the incumbents care most about.
My main reflection is twofold
- solid value prop from Robinhood
- man, tough to be AMEX
AMEX is facing competition on business side from Brex and Ramp and as far as I can tell losing. Their consumer business has been stronger, but now they have to contend w/ Robinhood.

We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.
ALT Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.

This is what a modern blood libel looks like:
A sick child. A hijacked photo. A lie that spreads faster than truth.
His name is Osama al-Raqab. He has cystic fibrosis, a serious genetic illness.
He’s been in Italy receiving treatment since June 12.
Israel enabled his medical transfer from Gaza.
But that didn’t stop media outlets from weaponizing his image NOT to tell his story, but in order to smear Israel.
Because when it comes to Israel, facts are optional.
Hate always finds a headline.

I am on the board of Axel Springer that owns Político. I consider this article one sided Hamas support. It fails to mention that the airstrikes were aimed at eliminating top Hamas military and thar Israel was successful at doing so. It also quotes casualty figures given by Hamas that are not believed to be accurate.
Israel hits Gaza with new airstrikes that kill at least 200 ow.ly/I1WS1062M21
