In the world of politics, nothing is more exciting than a good olde debate.  The brilliant exchange of ideas that can truly come from an exciting back and forth between two intellectual heavyweights who dominate in their areas of policy expertise is something to behold.

The world received joyous news on Sunday when a helicopter crash resulted in the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.  At least, the world should have reacted as if this was joyous news.  Instead, the moral failure of the world to recognize that this was a good thing exemplifies how backwards many nations are in terms of simple and obvious truths.  

On the same week in which a young Iranian Jew was sentenced to death for defending himself against a Muslim attacker, the helicopter carrying Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, 63, and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, 60, crashed on Sunday in the foggy mountains near the country’s border with Azerbaijan. After many hours of searching, their bodies were found along with those of two other passengers and two flight crew.

Caught between activists in his party who seek to reduce his administration’s support for Israel and the majority of Americans, including most Jewish voters, who support the war effort against Hamas, President Joe Biden announced on Monday that he rejects an international tribunal’s efforts to prosecute Israeli leaders.

Are there any excuses left for the pro-Israel Biden voter? Aside from either complete ignorance of the facts or an intractable hatred for Donald Trump, how is there any justification to vote for Joe Biden if the US-Israel relationship is a top-five issue for you?  Biden’s utter and complete betrayal of the lone Jewish state has moved from the normal inept stupidity we’ve become accustomed to from this administration to downright evil.

As we buy our kids clothes for the summer, one can’t help but notice the watermelon all over cute rompers and dresses and t-shirts - the same symbol that the Free Palestine protest movement has adopted as its symbol. What once was a sweet summer print is now tarnished with anti-Israel, anti-Jewish sentiment. You never know when a watermelon is just a watermelon or when it is a signal of Jewish hate (because, let’s face it, these protesters don’t actually care about Palestinians; they only care about spreading anti-Jewish propaganda).
