Yeah he said a couple of hypocritical things but later I read he said "I support Israel".

the maralago mango mocked Israel a few days ago as well and today came out with a I stand with Israel comment.

fuck them both

Yes

It is really difficult to watch or read about Holocaust survivors who were killed in this. I can't focus.

Y'all beat me to it with Putin's 'unacceptable' quote today.

Unreal.

I also learned today that I have cousins who live in the Tel Aviv area (I thought they lived near Jerusalem). Haven't seen them for about 25 years but I am hoping someone in my family would know if they are ok or not.

To back up the comments that Israel is in no mood for BS, there's this from the BBC:

**

A group of BBC journalists covering Israel's war with Hamas were held at gunpoint and assaulted by Israeli police in Tel Aviv Thursday night, according to the network.

The disturbing incident came as the team of three journalists drove to their hotel in a vehicle "clearly marked as media," the British news network said.

The BBC said that the team was "dragged from their vehicle," searched, and pushed up against a wall during the stop. One of its journalists said that when he tried to film the incident, an officer threw his phone to the ground.

Blood is clearly boiling.

someone tell me again that there are good people on both sides....   

[Gusington]

^I just saw that in Politico and didn't understand the background, it sounded like a random crime. I dunno...

[Gusington]

9/11 really messed me up as old-timers here know, as I was there.

This is different in a new, horrible way. Similar to the Russian invasion of Ukraine last year, but worse.

I just feel like I am walking around with a bullseye on my chest.

hamas or whoever called for a day of jihad today.
a French teacher was killed by a chechin.

[Gusington]

^I know, I was ordered to stay out of my office building today.

Some kids in my area did not go to school.

I was expecting much worse.

Awad Darousha, an Israeli Arab citizen, was an ambulance driver who, during the Hamas terror attack on Saturday, worked with medical teams to save the lives of the wounded until Hamas terrorists murdered him as well. One of the 1300 victims of Hamas' heinous terrorism and hellish diabolical massacre in Israel this week💔
