The Fiercely Heterosexual Cory Booker, who apparently has not dated a woman since his sudden intensely-publicized storybook fauxmance of LGBT-friendly actress Rosario Dawson just in time for his 2016 presidential run, was in Israel during the attacks, and posted a Sad! video about how his heart breaks for his good Israeli friends.
The most famous rabbi in America responded to him thus:
As soon as the rockets started in Israel, my Senator and dear friend Cory Booker ran for his life. Maybe it's because he voted to give Iran $150 billion. @CoryBooker voted to give Iran $150b. Then he ran today away from Israel
@corybooker please stop bragging about how you endured rockets in Israel. You were my closest friend for 25 years. You were my student president at Oxford and my brother. Then you voted to give the Iranian terrorist monsters, who are largely responsible through Hamas for this attack that murdered 700 Israelis, $150 billion to murder innocents, in order to preserve your political standing.
Also, right after you made this video, your staff spirited you right out of Israel. And I wonder if you got special treatment to get on a plane to get out of the war zone. The only hope for our friendship and your relationship with Jewish Community is for you to finally come to the well of the Senate floor this week and condemn your own vote to give billions to Iran and by extension Hamas and to apologize profusely, and beg forgiveness of the innocent Iranian people being brutalized by their Goverment and the world Jewish community.
Otherwise, we are not interested in these posts. Words are cheap Cory. Remember all the Torah we studied together? It's action that counts #CoryCondemnIran
A Guardian reporter wants you to know that while Hamas verifiably murdered babies and Hamas verifiably decapitated people, there is so far no proof that Hamas decapitated babies. They may have just murdered babies in the normal, acceptable way you murder babies.

The @guardian newspaper wants you to know there's a right way and a wrong way to murder babies.

@mck_bethJust looked at today's UK front pages and I am horrified by the headlines claiming "40 babies beheaded by Hamas" in Kfar Aza. Yes, many children were murdered. Yes, there were several beheadings in the attack. This claim, however, is unverified and totally irresponsible.

Good to know that some babies were merely murdered in the normal way.

It's not about the manner in which children were killed. it's about the racist stereotyping of Arabs and conflating all conflicts in the Middle East as the same thing
Ah. We shouldn't stereotype Hamas terrorists as the sort of terrorists who decapitate babies. They might be the kind of "good terrorists" who just shoot babies to death.

It's not about Hamas terrorists murdering babies but it's about the racist stereotyping of Arabs. An actual take by the Guardian's Jerusalem correspondent. Can't make this up.
Thanks to andycaunck for that.
So much White Supremacy:
@MrAndyNgo
Multiple cars in Ladera Heights, Los Angeles was vandalized with swastikas, setting off fears a white supremacist was targeting the black-majority neighborhood. Antifa helped bring attention to the incidents. Last week, Robert Haymore was arrested. He's a 37-year-old black male.
Thanks to Red Turban Someguy.

Apartheid and "open-air" imprisonment of innocent people is inhumane, unconscionable, and downright cruel.
Such treatment should only be reserved for unvaccinated people.

Jame Raskin refuses to comment on Democrats who support Hamas, claiming he's aware of no such Democrats. Just another right-wing conspiracy theory!
