"Amen" is a Biblical Hebrew word: אמן. It is a word simply meaning "may it be so." It has nothing to do with the word "man" or "woman" because it is FROM HEBREW. This is some of the dumbest s*** I have ever seen in my life.

For Palestinians who have to mourn their dead, are they supposed to find solace in the notion that Israel doesn't "deliberately" target civilians, when the outcome is the same? There's something about odd about killing people and then telling them you didn't mean it.

Today is Jewish Refugees Day. We remember 850,000 Jews forced out of Arab states and Iran in the 20th century. Communities 2,500 years old were destroyed. At the United Nations, I asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, and the others: “Where are your Jews?” Still waiting for an answer.
