Guess we’re not going to invade Venezuela after all. But it will be good for oil prices at the end of the day:

Netanyahu described Monday morning’s rocket launch that struck a home in central Israel as a “criminal attack”

If I were him, I’d avoid the word “criminal.”

This attack is a real stroke of luck for Netanyahu, faced with more indictments and an election a few weeks away, WHILE being in DC, scheduled to speak at the big rightwing Israelathon AND meet with POTUS. He can really look “strong” and “conscientious” by immediately heading back, foregoing the speech! And isn’t it amazing that a Hamas rocket actually HIT something for a change? A home, with old people and babies in it, yet! Seems tailor made for propaganda purposes.

I agree: it’s a despicable act, whoever is responsible for it.

Trump and Pence have been dishonestly (of course) accusing the Democratic party of being antisemitic.

This is particularly vile.

It is the kind of behavior one finds in abusive relationships. The asshole in the relationship gets to make his or her own rules at will, and engage in unhindered abuse; the victim in the relationship has to be perfect at all times OR ELSE YOU WILL BE ATTACKED.

The hook for the Republicans is of course Ilhan Omar’s comments, which, by the way, do not make her antisemitic. The Republican strategy is exactly the strategy of a deceitful practiced abuser in a relationship – and it works. The MSM plays it. Dems run. And the obvious antisemites – the Republicans – continue being antisemites. Utterly fucked up.
