Just One Thing: (More) Horror in Gaza
Israel announced on Sunday that the bodies of six hostages -- four young men and two young women -- were recovered in a tunnel in southern Gaza. The six included dual American-Israeli citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin who had become well known in the US because of his parents’ tireless efforts to tell the nation and the world about their son. All were executed by Hamas.
While there have been protests in the streets of Israel calling on the country to sign a ceasefire agreement with Hamas as soon as possible, there is at least as much redoubling of commitment to killing every last member of Hamas. And as far as a ceasefire, that requires an opposing side that negotiates in good faith and abides by agreements. Hamas does neither.

Don Bentley is a former US Army Apache helicopter pilot and FBI agent and now best-selling thriller author who is now taking over Vince Flynn's series with protagonist Mitch Rapp. (Vince Flynn passed away about a decade ago at the much-too-young age of 47, from a rare form of prostate cancer.

Watch this video and then I'll tell you about it:
Now if you watched that ad as a supporter of Israel you might think it's decent except for the stuff about "a free Palestine" and the unusual use of the word "hate", essentially praising Kamala Harris for not siding with terrorists. In fact, this ad is being run (by a small group) in heavily Arab neighborhoods in Michigan to push those voters NOT to vote for Kamala Harris. If you watch it again from that perspective you can see what they're trying to do
