We get it. He was awesome.
Ozzy Osbourne was a supporter of Zionism. He broke the boycott by performing in Israel and, during a time when thousands of children in Gaza were being killed, he called on other artists to do the same. Never forget that.
Trump’s Spy Chief Alleges a ‘Treasonous Conspiracy' that includes President Obama. Is She Right? @EliLake , while noting all that was flawed in Russiagate, offers an emphatic NO: thefp.com/p/trumps-spy-c…
“As someone who was an early critic of the Russiagate narrative, I can report that Gabbard did not get the goods. Gabbard’s evidence mainly relies on declassified intelligence assessments that state that Russia lacked the capability to change the tallies of state and local voting…
This is excellent and spot on. Kudos, @EliLake. Gabbard’s claims are a nothingburger. At best. Millions though will be misled by her tendentious claims. Good to see Eli reminding people of actual facts.

Back in 1987, I interviewed #OzzyOsbourne for the heavy metal mag 'Metallix: It'll Rock You To Shreds!' while he was promoting Randy Rhoads Tribute. I was stunned by what a nice and affable person he was and he talked about how much he loved @PaulMcCartney and the Beatles, among…

BREAKING: On a Zoom call tonight, Mahmoud Khalil revealed that his meetings with multiple Democrat lawmakers confirmed what he sees as a shift in his favor. According to Khalil, “Palestine is becoming mainstream,” and members of Congress are now “awakened” to what their…

If you don’t want to instantly be discredited as an obvious hack, wouldn’t you at the very least qualify or temper your claims? Like instead of saying Israel’s *primary* strategic goal is to get Americans killed, maybe that’s like 9th down the list of goals? Surely…
One of the greatest of all time. @OzzyOsbourne R.I.P. 💔
Ezra Klein’s latest is the most elegantly packaged betrayal of the Jewish people I’ve read in years. Beneath all the hand-wringing and pseudo-intellectual anguish is a breathtakingly cynical message: antisemitism might be our fault after all. Not explicitly, of course—Klein is…
Out of curiosity, has @ggreenwald ever hired any journalists for @theintercept who aren’t deranged dyed-in-the-wool pro-jihadi shills?
As much as I criticize the Israeli government for Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe, that by no means exempts Hamas from responsibility. In fact, as a Palestinian from Gaza, I hold Hamas even more accountable. They’ve looted aid, resold it on the black market at inflated prices to…
With everything going on in the world that demands our attention, I must admit I’ve been surprised today by the level of ignorance surrounding the status of Hamza bin Laden. He is dead, and you don’t even need to take my word for it. Come with me on a journey to lay out the…
Simone: "Hamza bin laden actual is not alive. He is dead. However, I do not dispute the fact that someone calling himself Hamza bin laden, perhaps even a bin laden cousin, is doing all of that." Shawn: "My friend Sarah Adams, who who says that Hamza bin laden is still alive,…
As America begins a year long celebration of her 250th birthday, @EliLake has a great, easy to listen to, podcast on our Declaration of Independence. Oh, and he has a great voice. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bre…

Big news. @havivrettiggur joins @TheFP as a regular contributor. His first livestream will be this Wednesday. thefp.com/p/haviv-rettig…
I don’t think Glenn Greenwald likes me. Here’s the problem. When he says I fanatically defend Israel, what does he mean? Does he mean that the only thing I defend uncompromisingly - the survival of millions of Jews through Israel’s founding who could not have been saved any…
Many people criticize "The Free Press" for merely pretending to value viewpoint diversity while only hiring writers who agree with Bari Weiss' most sacred cause. Yet today, they have "big news": they just hired an Israeli journalist who is a fanatical defender of Israel.🇮🇱
Watch the episode. Would love to hear your thoughts. Freely admitted and gave a lot of detail about all the things I didn’t understand.
We didn’t go to Iraq over 9/11, we went over WMD’s, and we found thousands of chemical munitions aka WMD’s. The Pentagon finally admitted so in 2014, question is why did they lie, and hide it for 11 years? The fact that she thinks we went to Iraq over 9/11 tells me she…
