Donald Trump's federal trial on election interference drops off court schedule.

The truth remains the truth: Israel is acting as any other democracy would in impossible circumstances.

The terrorists know exactly what they are doing. For years, they have dealt with UN officials, NGO representatives and the international media. They understand the Weltanschauung of such circles. They know that they need only enable a supply of videos of civilian casualties and the credulous journalists, sneering diplomats, jihadi sympathisers and useful idiots will do the rest.

As a result, the disinformation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza – Israel has been falsely accused of that since Soviet times – is accepted as fact. During a lesson on Lord of the Flies, my daughter’s English teacher cited the actions of the IDF, not Hamas, as a recent modern example of the “savagery” that killed Piggy.

Tentative agrrement reached for release of 50 hostages.

Pending approval by Israel.

There wouldn't be any release of hostages if not for the IDF operation in Gaza. The Hamas barbarians have been decimated and are desperate for reprieve. President Biden was right in rejecting talk of a cease fire.

Israel exists as a country, whether some like it or not. Anti-Zionism is the belief that it should not. Its as simple as that.

You can't redefine words. If that is your stance, just say so.

And Zionism is not related in any way to objection to a two state solution or Palestinian self determination.

It appears as if Hamas accidentally put an ammo depot near a hospital. Surely a mistake, nt

I don't see how it is possible, but I have underestimated the pervasiveness of antisemitism.

It is everywhere, regardless of religion, political affiliation, race. I am not naive. I knew it was bad. I mean, thousands of years bad. But it's so much worse than even I could imagine.

Were there people in the 40s that tried to draw moral equivalence between Nazis and the Allies?

125000 German civilians died in the Battle of Berlin. Was there a separation made between the civilians of Germany and their leaders by "concerned" individuals? How would that operation have been carried out to the satisfaction of both siders? Wait it out?

Just wonderin'.

Neal Katyal sees another AG that is not up to the task.

He doesn't understand the decision. He wrote the rules.

There will be those that defend Garland up to and after....

it is announced that there will be no criminal charges against Trump.

Unlike criminal charges against Trump, that much you can bank on.
