I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

The Blogs: Trump’s β€˜Stupid’ Jews Comment Is the Same Old Antisemitic Garbage From the blog of Ryan Aviv Fagan at The Times of Israel

It’s antisemitism, full stop. It’s not clever. It’s not strategic. It’s a festering mix of arrogance, ignorance, and insecurity wrapped up in one grotesque sentence.

Just finished up a blog post for @timesofisrael.com about my thoughts on the 30th anniversary of Rabin’s assassination. How as a 14 year old midwestern kid it was the first assassination to really affect me. I’ll share a link when it’s posted! I’m proud of it.

None of this is guaranteed. Hamas could still dismiss the proposal, Netanyahu could stall, and the foreign ministers could retreat under domestic pressures.
