Good morning. It's Friday, Dec. 29, and we're covering absurd accusations against the Israel Prime Minister, blocking the World Trade Center, MLB's memorable baseball moments, and much more.

| | Breaking Updates | | Rashida Tlaib Steps in It Again With Absurd Accusations Against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu | Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a proud member of the Hamas caucus, displayed her ignorance of terms like "genocide" during a livestream discussing the Israel-Hamas war. As an ardent critic of the Israeli government and aggressive defender of Hamas, she has been on the front lines of the anti-Israel debate, using her position to spout pro-Hamas propaganda while urging Congress to force Israel to stop its war against the terrorist organization.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is calling out her colleagues in the U.S. Congress who have sat down with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the ongoing war between his country and the terror group Hamas. She called the conservative leader a "genocidal maniac" in a post on her Instagram Story on Wednesday.
As is typical, there are several flaws in Tlaib's assertions. For starters, Israel is not committing genocide, nor is it even attempting to. Genocide involves wiping out an entire group of people. The notion that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are attempting to annihilate the Arabs living in the Gaza Strip is laughable, considering that the population in Gaza and the West Bank has grown considerably since Israel ever became involved in these regions.
Tlaib's accusation also ignores the reality that Israel has taken steps to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, unlike Hamas, who deliberately targeted Israeli civilians on October 7th, slaughtering men, women, and children for the crime of existing. She is simply doing her part to promote Hamas' agenda, which has nothing to do with helping the Palestinians. | Read more updates here |

| | Anti-Israel Crew Storms, Blocks Entrance to World Trade Center, Shouting 'Revolution' and 'Allahu Akbar!' | I have to think that whoever is behind the anti-Israel actions must be trying to pick the worst possible places to target on purpose, because they keep doing things that are guaranteed to tick off people and drive away people from their "cause."
Some of the protesters have sported banners saying "abolish the settler project." They regard the U.S. as part of settler/colonizers that must be "abolished," not just the state of Israel, as one professor/activist explained.
So on Thursday when they blocked the exits of the World Trade Center, many had a visceral, bad reaction to seeing people posing there in keffiyehs, waving the Palestinian and Yemen flags. The crowd was also carrying Syrian flags. The police prevented them from getting inside the building.
Almost 3,000 people were killed in the attack on the World Trade Center by Islamic extremists in 2001. It's not something we're ever likely to forget--and these people show what horrible scum they are with this action. | Read more updates here |
