What frightens me about how antisemitism overtook Germany and gave rise to the Nazis is how ordinary and banal the phenomenon was. The men that built and sustained the Nazi movement and the silent masses that enabled it were not ‘peculiar Germans,’ but ordinary men and women. They exist in every society— even this great country. Some of those you know, if conditions were right, would be turned on to such a movement, or passively allow it to promulgate. They may even be people you consider friends, or your coworkers, or the mailman that smiles as he drops off your mail. They exist in every society—interwoven into its fabric—waiting for the “right” historical conditions to activate them.

I am outraged that a swastika flag was raised overlooking Washington Square Park. This hateful antisemitic act was meant to spread fear among and intimidate Jewish New Yorkers. It has no place in our city. Our administration is committed to fighting antisemitism in all its forms

Hi @StoneEmma_ , @josalw and other Hollywood elites boycotting Israel: look Liel’s grieving family in the eyes and tell them why you condemn her people for protecting themselves, for fighting so their children never endure this terror again. Please RT and to make sure all the other misguided Hollywood elites boycotting Israel do so as well! @realDonaldTrump @AGPamBondi @GatesMcgavick @ChadGilmartinCA @JewsFightBack @StopAntisemites @TheLeoTerrell

"I'm just a girl, I have school tomorrow!" Liel Hetzroni (12) begged Hamas monsters to let her go. But they m*rdered her. It look forensic archeologists 6 weeks to identify her. All that remained was ash and bone fragments. Where is 23-minute standing ovation for Liel?

After Camp David failed with Yasser Arafat’s refusal, Bill Clinton tried to continue negotiations by proposing his parameters to Arafat & Israeli PM Barak. Clinton in his 2004 memoir “My Life” on what happened next: "The Palestinians would give up the absolute right of return; they had always known they would have to, but they never wanted to admit it. The Israelis would give up East Jerusalem and parts of the Old City, but their religious and cultural sites would be preserved; it had been evident for some time that for peace to come, they would have to do that. The Israelis would also give up a little more of the West Bank and probably a larger land swap than Barak’s last best offer, but they would keep enough to hold at least 80 percent of the settlers. And they would get a formal end to the conflict. It was a hard deal, but if they wanted peace, I thought it was fair to both sides. Arafat immediately began to equivocate, asking for “clarifications.” But the parameters were clear; either he would negotiate within them or not. As always, he was playing for more time. I called [Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak and read him the points. He said they were historic and he could encourage Arafat to accept them. On the twenty-seventh, Barak’s cabinet endorsed the parameters with reservations, but all their reservations were within the parameters, and therefore subject to negotiations anyway. It was historic: an Israeli government had said that to get peace, there would be a Palestinian state in roughly 97% of the West Bank, counting the swap, and all of Gaza where Israel also had settlements. The ball was in Arafat’s court. I was calling other Arab leaders daily to urge them to pressure Arafat to say yes. They were all impressed with Israel’s acceptance and told me they believed Arafat should take the deal. I have no way of knowing what they told him, though the Saudi ambassador, Prince Bandar, later told me he and Crown Price Abdullah had the distinct impression Arafat was going to accept the parameters. On the twenty-ninth, Dennis Ross met with Abu Ala, whom we all respected, to make sure Arafat understood the consequences of rejection. I would be gone. Ross would be gone. Barak would lose the upcoming election to Sharon. Bush wouldn’t want to jump in after I had invested so much and failed. I still didn’t believe Arafat would make such a colossal mistake ... Perhaps [Arafat] simply couldn’t make the final jump from revolutionary to statesman. He had grown used to flying from place to place, giving mother-of-pearl gifts made by Palestinian craftsmen to world leaders and appearing on television with them. It would be different if the end of violence took Palestine out of the headlines and instead he had to worry about providing jobs, schools, and basic services ... When he left, I still had no idea what Arafat was going to do. His body language said no, but the deal was so good I couldn’t believe anyone would be foolish enough to let it go. Barak wanted me to come to the region, but I wanted Arafat to say yes to the Israelis on the big issues embodied in my parameters first ... Arafat never said no; he just couldn’t bring himself to say yes. Pride goeth before the fall. Right before I left office, Arafat, in one of our last conversations, thanked me for all my efforts and told me what a great man I was. “Mr. Chairman,” I replied, “I am not a great man. I am a failure, and you have made me one.”"

Bill Clinton describes the incredible deal for Palestinian statehood in 2000 & he does not waver on who’s to blame for the deal’s failure - Yasser Arafat. If a state next to Israel, not instead of Israel, was acceptable, Palestine would be celebrating its 25th Independence Day.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., a “day that will live in infamy” for the unprovoked attack by the Empire of Japan upon U.S. forces stationed in Hawaii. But it also marked a dark turning point for Japanese Americans, who overnight became the “enemy.” At age 4, I was /1

Stop us if you've heard this before, but Shohei Ohtani did something that hadn't happened in over 100 years... He's the 1st player since 1890 to finish Top-5 in both HR hit and strikeouts pitched, with 34 HR and 219 K. He's just the 4th player all-time to accomplish this feat.
