Today on Meet the Press, President Herzog asked a question that many kind souls who are opposed to weapon production and against the military-industrial complex prefer not to address: How would you feel if 100,000 of your neighbors (or even you yourself) were displaced (from northern Israel), and your country was under constant missile barrage? Somehow, this question never gets answered: does it challenge our sense of moral certainty? I also consider myself a pacifist—when others share my vision. I, too, would like to see the wolf lie down with the lamb.
And here is exactly what President Herzog said today:
PRESIDENT HERZOG: Absolutely not. We did not want this war. We're not seeking war. This war was waged upon us by the proxies of the empire of evil of Iran, on October 7 by Hamas, and on October 8 by Hezbollah. And ever since, from Lebanon in the north, and, of course, from Hamas in the south and all over the Middle East, the proxies of Iran are attacking and attacking now. Hezbollah has been attacking us on a daily basis, demolishing Israeli villages and towns, basically leading to the eviction of 100,000 Israelis from their homes. Life has been shattered in our northern border. I don't think any American would have accepted it as a kind of a status quo situation in the United States. And at the end, there are things that must be done. The duty of a government or a nation is to take care of its citizens and bring them back home. And don't forget, it's 252 days- 352 days, sorry. 352 days, two weeks short of one year since our hostages were taken. We have 101 hostages in the dungeons in Gaza already waiting and waiting and we are pleading for them.

In the meantime, listen to what Nick Fuentes said:
(I had to listen to it a few times because, again, I could not believe my own ears: “Our country is destroyed by the international cabal.” “So-called antisemitism..”)

“Nick Fuentes has come out with a not so subtle endorsement of Kamala Harris, regurgitating all her campaign’s talking points about how Trump is a “grave threat to this country.”
In case you forgot, see who this person is:

Of course, asking Fuentes if he would have loved his next-door neighbors attacking him and whomever he loves (if he is capable of loving) and sending bombs to his house would be completely pointless because he is blinded by hate.
Margaret Brennan us an asshole and an antisemite. In a earlier interview with Ron Desantis during the republican primary when he was discussing the tentifadas and his work against antisemitism, she actually said that the Arab students cant be antisemites because Arabs are semites. She is an embarrassment to the field of journalism.
