PINNED: I worry about the quality of our public debate. Discussions of issues such as health care & climate change are often shallow, polarized & plagued with misinformation. I highlight people, organizations & ideas that I feel offer clarity & hope.

Bloomberg made billions with none of these things. Jeff Bezos too. Neither is a monopoly, for example. They have plenty of competition, just not very effective.

NYC: We recently had riots & looting in my neighborhood. We have dangerously mentally ill on the streets and on subways. Local coffeehouse has to keep tip jar empty because homeless run in and steal it. Seedy people sleeping on sidewalk, police say their hands are tied.

The quote is the same in context. I canโt speak to whatโs in her heart but when I heard her casually refer to 9/11 as โsomething some people didโ it sent chills down my sline.

Fake quote. Famously a fake. There is now an entire industry of fake quotes, posted regularly to Twitter by people who think they are helping Palestinians with lies. Is this the best you can do?

โIn context, it's clear she was pointing out how that act was committed by only a few people,...โ YES this is true but she also unmistakably tried ti minimize it. That is what was chilling.

Hamas turns hospitals, mosques, homes and schools into military zones.
Hamas fighters dress as civilians further confusing the situation.
Hamas has destroyed Gaza.
@_timhernandez
Hamas cut off the heads of babies, slaughtered entire families in their beds, massacred attendees at a music festival -- using machine guns -- and now hides behind civilians in Gaza, ensuring mass Palestinian civilian casualties. Tim Hernandez refuses to denounce these
@cenkuygur
Hamas can end the carnage - that they instigated - by surrendering. Otherwise, Israel needs to destroy Hamas military capability despite Hamas hiding under and behind civilians. Also Israel is not holding up supplies โฆ. According to a Palestinian Arab.
@swilkinsonbc
Surrender Hamas in Gaza.
End the conflict instantly.
This has been true since Oct 8.
None of the casualties and destruction had to happen.
It is all due to Hamas.
Without Hamas, Gaza would be a beautiful Mediterranean beach paradise.
Free Gaza from Hamas.

1. They did not do rape tests on the dead bodies. They do have eye witness reports.
2. If you think it was an โinside jobโ you need help. The problem was naivetรฉ and arrogance. They refused to believe the field reports because Hamas had convinced them that they simply
@HadiNasrallah
On Oct 7 a Hamas fighter was recorded calling his family, bragging that he had just killed 10 Jews. His family said how proud they.
The videos of the Oct 7 massacre are horrendous. The videos were shot by Hamas because they are proud of what they did.
NONE of the horror
@REVMAXXING
Without Hamas, Gaza would be a peaceful, beautiful, Mediterranean beach paradise.
Hamas took power in Gaza in 2007, a bloody coup, killing over 400 of their political opponents. They have ruled with corruption and brutality, violently suppressing dissent, stealing $billions
@Resist_05
Surrender Hamas. End the war instantly,
Hamas is the problem. Care about Gaza? Really? Call for Hamas to surrender, instead of firing rockets and hiding under civilians.
@IlhanMN
All of this horror in Gaza was completely unnecessary. Even today, surrender of Hamas in Gaza + return of hostages will end the conflict immediately. This has been true since Oct 8.
All of the death and destruction in Gaza was completely unnecessary, and, 100% due to Hamas.
@ShaykhSulaiman
Violent Protest. The pro-Hamas protestors today at the Brooklyn Museum were violent, defacing artwork, attacking museum staff, attacking police. Check the videos and the news reports.

Marne Manoukian They targeted the building not the journalists. They gave everyone warning to leave the building. Hamas routinely hides military hardware and operations in civilian buildings.

Hezbollah has been attacking Israel daily since Oct 8. 100,000 Israelis have been evacuated from the north for months. Another 100,000 spending a lot of time in bomb shelters.
When Israel responds you act like they are the aggressor.

Hamas took power in a bloody coup in 2007 and has done nothing but instigate violence ever since.
Free Gaza from Hamas.

Hamas steals the food aid. More generally, Gaza would be a Mediterranean beach paradise if not for Hamas.
Israelโs only desire from Gaza is to live alongside in peace. Hamas stole $40B in aid over the years to build tunnels & rockets instead of power plant, water

Surrender Hamas. (If Israel unilaterally ceases fire, Hamas just keeps on attacking. They have promised endless Oct 7 style attacks. Believe them.).
Free Gaza from Hamas.
Seriously.
@ClaudiaWebbe
If you cared about the people of Gaza, you would call for Hamas in Gaza to surrender. This has been true since Oct 8. All of the carnage in Gaza since October has been completely unnecessary; all due to Hamas.

IDF operations in Shifa hospital are necessary because Hamas had resumed operations there, and were firing weapons from within the hospital.

@MariamBarghouti
1. Do we have evidence that any of the hostages were killed by air strikes?
2. Hamas can surrender any time to end the conflict. This has been true since Oct 8. None of this destruction needed to happen if Hamas would have surrendered.
3. Otherwise, we have to note that

Armed guard at a school would be easy to overwhelm with element of surprise + an AR15. They do not have police training nor tools. Cruz bill is disingenuous.

It is not genocide. And Israel has to destroy Hamas military capability. Hamas are otherwise promising many more Oct 7 style attacks.
Hamas hides under homes, schools, hospitals, mosques, โฆ. Which is why so many civilians die.

(1) it is horrible but not remotely genocide.

(3) these protestors are intentionally getting arrested for theater and publicity.

If we give Russia the nation of Ukraine, they will keep taking other nations until we have to intervene with our troops. And China will take Taiwan. Ukraine is preventing WW3. The financial cost is a bargain.
@richimedhurst
Sadly, Hamas turns homes, schools, mosques and hospitals into military targets.
Without Hamas, Gaza would be a Mediterranean beach paradise. Literally. Hamas spent 16 years stealing $40B in aid to build tunnels and rocket Israel.
Free Gaza from Hamas.

FDA is NOT saying that ivermectin is effective against covid. They are just saying it does no harm.

Yes. That is how it all looked Oct 6.
What happened on Oct 7?
Protest Hamas.
Surrender Hamas and end the war instantly.
NONE OF THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN!
Without Hamas, Gaza would be a beautiful, Mediterranean beach paradise.

The UN ceasefire resolution also requires Hamas to return all hostages immediately. Do you support having Hamas return all the hostages immediately? Please answer yes or no. Thank you.
@guychristensen_
Hint. Surrender Hamas.
End the war instantly.
This has been an option since Oct 8.
All the horrendous casualties and destructions were completely unnecessary. A tragic waste. Or what Hamas call โmartyrsโ.
Free Gaza from Hamas.
@RyanRozbiani
All the destruction in Gaza is due to Hamas. None of this needed to happen. And it serves the political purposes of Hamas.
This entire war can be ended instantly with surrender by Hamas military. This has been true since Oct 8.
It did not have to happen. Israel removed
@Kahlissee
Hamas last military stronghold is Rafah. That is the problem.
Israel has to stop the attacks from Hamas. Civilians die because Hamas fighters dress as civilians and hide among civilians.
Hamas could end the war instantly by surrendering. This has been true since Oct 8.
@ScottAdamsSays
My mind-reading on this: Scott is afraid that you will listen to CNN and MSNBC, perhaps other sources that are not so favorable to Trump. He ridicules them so you won't listen to them. I'd love to see him make more of an effort call out misleading persuasion on both sides.
@khalilo1
Thank you for the post. I am so sorry for all that is happening in Gaza. What I do not understand is why you do not blame Hamas.

Israel removed all Jewish people from Gaza in 2005.
Palestinians could have built the start of a nation in Gaza. Instead they fired rockets into Israel and built tunnels. And then attacked brutally on Oct 7.
