Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza.

For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing.

How they’ve responded is shocking.

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism.

“I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.”

Look at this and then think back to how Kamala Harris responded to protestors with "I'm speaking"
A heckler kept yelling about “intifada” & “communism” at Zohran Mamdani’s rally.

Mamdani responds with: “I want you to be able to afford this city too my brother. I want you to be able to call this city home too…We stand together with a vision of a city that has room for every political opinion.”

Cuomo hung up when asked about Trump’s support for him just hours before Trump says it plainly: “Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him…”
