The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…

Why is Democratic Congressional leadership still the same? Why has there been no accountability? Nothing has changed. So no, it seems as though party leadership has not hit rock bottom yet.
A new poll finds Democrats have their lowest favorability rating in decades. Have they hit rock bottom? rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
When you realize you’ve been complicit in genocide and everyone knows.
