My thoughts on politics.
Israelis who live on kibbutzim, for the most part, are left-wing, which in Israel means they are against settlements, what they call “occupation” and believe every sacrifice of land is worth it to obtain a lasting peace. But no more. After October 7, most of them no longer believe peace is possible with Gaza. The …
Alice Walker is a renowned author known for her novel “The Color Purple,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1983. The novel was subsequently made into a movie, and is now debuting as a musical. Walker’s views on Israel and Jews, however, are decidedly unsavory—Walker is an out and out antisemite who trashes …
President Biden has been lambasting Israel about the need to tamp down settler violence against Arabs. But there is no comparison between Arab violence and settler violence. A editorial in the Jerusalem Post, points this out by comparing the number of incidents emanating from either side, and the difference in attitude in these two populations: …
Car dealers are concerned that Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate could negatively impact their sales. They have sent a letter urging him to reconsider the requirement of having two-thirds of new cars be EVs by 2032. They argue that the current slump in EV sales is hurting their business.

With 39 hostages released as part of …
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists crossed into Israel and massacred 1,400 men, women, and children in the largest attack since the Holocaust. Roughly 240 civilians were taken to Gaza, and with the exception of 5 captives, remain in captivity. Since that time, a tide of antisemitism has swept the world. Jewish people are living in …
Antisemitism seems to be on the rise in Georgia, this time in Macon. On Sunday, residents of Beall Hill woke up to hate-filled pamphlets from the Goyim Defense League. It’s the third public expression of Jew-hatred this summer—two in June, and now this. As everyone knows by now, antisemitism is surging in America and it …
Israelis protested against judicial reform on Saturday night. The reform is meant to curb overreach, as justices are by law, allowed to overturn any government decision they don’t like. Israel now has a right-wing government and the court is packed with left-wing justices. When the court overrules the decisions of this government, they are subverting …
US Ambassador Tom Nides said that Smotrich is stupid and he would throw him out of a plane. American officials say they won’t meet with him in Washington, and even AIPAC won’t meet with him. Meanwhile, Smotrich had no plans to meet with officials during his trip. https://twitter.com/LahavHarkov/status/1631471099341840387 In other words, all the umbrage is …
