Profound confusion here from the Vice President. Paragraph 1: I support this violent escalation by the Israeli military. Paragraph 2: I will support any future violent escalation by the Israeli military, regardless of the circumstances. Paragraph 3: I support de-escalation and diplomacy.

Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands. Across decades, his leadership of Hezbollah destabilized the Middle East and led to the killing of countless innocent people in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and around the world. Today, Hezbollah's victims have a measure of justice.

I have an unwavering commitment to the security of Israel. I will always support Israel's right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.

This type of rhetoric obviously and specifically increases danger against me and all Jews, everywhere in the world. Neo-Nazis couldn’t hope for more cooperative behavior from Jews.

Arsen Ostrofsky tweet:

Regardless whether Nasrallah is dead, what a glorious fu*k you that was by the tiny Jewish state to the rest of the world!

They all wanted us to stop, to appease these jihadi bastards. But Netanyahu went to UN, slammed that cesspool, then got off podium & calmly gave the order.

This is what it means to have a sovereign Jewish state!

What level of violence is the Lebanese military authorized, in the name of its “right to self defense,” to visit upon Israeli civilians in order to assassinate senior Israeli military commanders and government ministers?

The idea that blowing up Nasrallah and everyone around him will make Israeli Jews safer implies a profound misunderstanding of both the nature of safety and the characteristics of the prevailing dynamics in the region.

Sad to part with DiVincenzo, and obviously Randle deserves the lion’s share of the credit for inciting the current Knicks revival, but Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, Towns, Robinson is probably the best starting 5 in the league. With Kolek, McBride, Hart, and Achiuwa/Morris off the bench, its cash.

“GOTV” is the same number of syllables as “Get Out The Vote” and harder to say.

For a sense of how deeply Eric Adams believes in the presumption of innocence and the commitment that no one should be punished without standing their day in court, take a look at what his administration has meant for Rikers Islane.

Gotta make sure to protect the safety of Jews on campus by… firing Jewish professors. t.co/6zToFau9Hu

Wish just for a week I could go back to my last job, as comms director for Eric Adams’ chief nemesis in the City Council. Also a bit salty thinking about how suddenly everyone is always going to have opposed him, when the reality is we did early, when there was a cost, and it was lonely.
