This "disfigured woman" is a car bomber who, having blown herself up in a an attempt to kill Israelis, demanded that Israelis pay for her plastic surgeries. This is how The New York Times covered her release.

- Columbia University President Minouche Shafik will be leaving tonight to Qatar to negotiate the release of Hamilton Hall.
- Despicable. This is what it looks like when Jewish identity is treated like a vague fandom (if not a self-centered, Protestantized cosplay), rather than something you actually need to defend existentially.
- Replying to @savannahborn4 and @MeghanMcCainTell that to middle Americans on the verge of retirement who just saw their savings slashed by around 10-20 points.
- I was a reader, listener, and fan of The Dispatch from day 1. I had the pleasure and honor to join the team two years later. As @stephenfhayes as my witness, I've been itching to direct a sizzle reel for the company from the second he hired me. It's now our fifth anniversary
00:00 - Replying to @DrewPavlouYou're telling me this is coming out of Romania, the only European country that launched its own freelance Jew-murder program during the Holocaust independent of the Nazis? Who'd have thought.
- If Israel is to have a future, the Ben Gvir/Smotritch faction must be kicked out of government. They stoke fantasies of total occupation (if not genocide) at the expense of both Palestinian freedom and Israeli security.I am getting increasingly more and more frustrated with Ben Gvir and Smotrich, and their continued proposals of relocating Palestinians out of Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of Gaza is not an acceptable outcome. Hamas 2.0 will use it as a recruiting slogan for years to come. π€¦π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈ
- Jonah's on to it: Coates is less clearly an antisemite than simply a shallow, timid, thin-skinned thinker. Lacking even a smidge of intellectual courage, he uncritically follows the moods of his tribe, and according to his own words, may do so to gruesome ends.Coates is a follower, a joiner, a groupthink denizen with a gift for telling his biggest fans the stuff they want to hear and his biggest fans think heβs bold and courageous for it. Thatβs it. Thatβs who he is. But yes, heβs a good writer. Like a glorified press release writer.
- I had to click into the article to confirm and I still can't believe my own lying eyes.
"On Saturday, after sixteen years of siege, Hamas militants broke out of Gaza. More than 1,300 Israelis were subsequently killed...." nybooks.com/online/2023/10β¦ - Oh yeah. They're marking the brutal lynching of Jews. Europe is rediscovering its true voice.People gathering in Brussels to show their support for a Palestinian murderer
00:00 - Good job, team, you shamed the heck out of that cancer center and pediatric hospital!Not a good look as pro-Palestinian protestors target a cancer hospital on New Yorkβs Upper East Side. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center also houses a paediatric day hospitalβ¦ βMake sure they hear you, theyβre in the windowsβ.
00:00 - At @thedispatch, every podcast is a flagship podcast. This week The New Yorker profiled the inimitable @whignewtons, host of Advisory Opinions, our flagship of flagships. The piece also mentions occasional guest David French for some reason.
- Trevor Noah's ponderous nodding shows how far along the brain rot has progressed in American media.Replying to @aziz0nomicsI think it's particularly disgusting that Trevor Noah simply nodded along with what Coates was saying rather than challenging it in any substantive way.
