Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is naming Christian fundamentalism as a key driver of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, pointing to recent US actions in the region.
Speaking on local New York radio station Hot 97/WQHT on Thursday morning, the progressive Democratic congresswoman argued that the conflict was not simply the result of Islamic fundamentalism and Israeli extremism.
"It's not just Islamic, it's not just Jewish, it is also Christian," said Ocasio-Cortez. "In the United States of America, Christian fundamentalism and nationalism — which has also been extremely anti-Semitic — has also aligned itself with some of the most right-wing and authoritarian and inflammatory powers in the region."

Over a dozen business executives are joining the call to blacklist the Harvard students who put out a statement that blamed Israel for the Hamas attack, while the group whined about being persecuted in the aftermath.
CEOs from EasyHealth, Belong, FabFitFun, Inspired, DoveHill and many more joined billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman in the charge of outing the members of 31 student organizations who issued the statement on Sunday.
Ackman said, 'One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists, who, we now learn, have beheaded babies, among other inconceivably despicable acts.'

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who was dressed in a hoodie and gym shorts, appeared on 'The Late Show' with host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday accompanied by a tablet to assist him. "Sometimes you literally just can't believe these people are making the decisions that are determining the government here," Fetterman said. "It's actually scary too," he added. COLBERT: Is it awkward to be in the Capitol and then run into people that you have put up a devastating meme about because you have excellent meme game. But then you have to see these people in the cafeteria. FETTERMAN: You all

In a time when Americans in Israel are relying on their government for support and protection, the U.S. State Department’s Consular Affairs Crisis Management System (CACMS) has left many American citizens hanging in the wind, demanding them to sign promissory notes as a precondition for any assistance in evacuating from the crisis-hit region.
The so-called “assisted departure options” were outlined in an email sent to American citizens stranded in the Middle Eastern nation, stating that the U.S. government would offer loans for transportation.
The Biden regime’s assistance to Americans wishing to depart Israel will come at a financial cost.

The reaction to the Hamas attack on Israel by left wing college students has been horrible and Harvard is no exception.Several student groups at Harvard University have withdrawn their signatures from a controversial document blaming Israel as “entirely responsible” for the Hamas terror attack on Israeli civilians, following intense backlash.
Dozens of student groups from the elite school signed a letter blaming Israel and supporting Palestine, which is represented by Hamas.
The public reaction to this has been near-universal disgust, and now these Harvard students are starting to worry about their future employment prospects.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) grimly assessed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s (R-LA) prospects of becoming Speaker of the House.
McCarthy said it was a “big hill” to become House Speaker for Scalise, who secured the Republican nomination for Speaker. Although the Louisiana Republican received more votes than House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), he did not have enough votes to become Speaker. (X) “He told a lot of people he was going to be at 150. He wasn’t there,” McCarthy said. He continued by saying that “time is of the essence.”

The BLM Chicago chapter posted a graphic online Tuesday that said, “I stand with Palestine.” The graphic also featured a paraglider with the Palestinian flag, which is notable because Hamas terrorists paraglided into a music festival in Israel and attacked the attendees.
Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel from Gaza over the weekend on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle, resulting in over 900 deaths and

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is withdrawing from the race for Speaker of the House after a brutal day that saw him hemorrhage support from between 30 and 40 Republican colleagues.
“Our conference still has to come together and we’re not there,” Scalise told his colleagues during a hastily called conference meeting at the Capitol. “There are still some people that have their own agendas.” (X) Scalise is expected to remain Majority Leader, although who will seek the Speaker’s gavel is not clear. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), currently Speaker Pro Tem, has been encouraged by some of his colleagues to seek the position permanently.

According to the registrar, the mistake impacts voters in the county Board of Supervisors District 4 special election and less than a dozen voters in the city of Chula Vista special election. Following discovery of the duplicate ballots, the registrar’s office “immediately contacted the print and mailing vendor to determine what happened and how many voters were impacted,” according to a statement from the office. “After researching, they reported that around 7,500 or a little over 1% of voters
