“Hamas said Sunday [its] military commander was in good health, a day after the Israeli military targeted Mohammed Deif with a massive airstrike that local health officials said killed at least 90 people, including children,” Huffington Post reported on Monday, July 15, 2024 (photo b[...]

Leave other people’s posters and signs alone
An angry Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL), who’s Jewish, says posters of Israeli hostages were ripped off the wall outside his Capitol Hill office (photo, left; story here). No, no, no! No to pulling up other people’s yard signs, too. The right-and-wrong isn’t about whose views are right[...]

Is Biden senile?
Let’s figure this out. My raw material is Time magazine’s June 24, 2024, cover story (here). It’s mostly about foreign policy; I can only quote short excerpts, for space and fair use reasons, and encourage you to read the entire article linked above. It begins, “During his 40[...]
NY Democrat risks seat by pushing for two-state solution
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY; photo, left), who represents a district with many Jewish voters, faces a serious primary challenge because of his opposition to Israel’s policies toward the Palestinian people. Bowman, like many American politicians, supports an eventual Palestinian state. But during [...]

The monster behind Oct. 7 attacks
This is him. His name is Yahya Sinwar, and he’s Hamas leader who precipitated the Gaza war. He’s to blame for the kidnappings, killings, and hostage-takings by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, and the 36,600 Palestinian lives lost to the Israeli military attacks he deliberately provo[...]
Nikki Haley has no soul
Nikki Haley spent Memorial Day in Israel, writing graffiti on artillery shells, not honoring America’s fallen. She wrote, “Finish them! America ♥ Israel! Always, Nikki Haley.” These shells aren’t destined for Normandy beaches or Iwo Jima pillboxes. In Gaza, Hamas mingles w[...]
Speaker Mike invites Israeli leader, snubs Kenya leader
House Speaker Mike Johnson will invite Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress even if the Senate doesn’t cooperate (see story here), but refused a similar invite to Kenya president William Ruto — even though he sides with Israel against Hamas (de[...]
He didn’t say, “I support Hamas,” Republicans did
The GOP’s congressional campaign committee put those words (see them here) in Rep. Pat Ryan’s mouth. Why? Because Ryan (D-NY) voted against a GOP bill attacking Biden’s arms delivery pause, as did nearly all House Democrats. It’s a ludicrous political attack. Ryan supports the U[...]

Thought for the day
Thought for the day: Saying “from river to sea” is declared to be antisemitic and supporting terrorists because it implies Palestinians want all of Palestine, by people who see nothing wrong with Israel taking all of Palestine. Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]
GOPer calls Gaza war “Biblical warfare”
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC; photo left, profile here) called the Gaza war “Biblical” and claimed Israel “doesn’t occupy the land, they own it,” The Hill reported on Saturday, May 11, 2024 (read story here). That doesn’t seem to leave a lot of room for Gaza’s appr[...]
