Hegseth issued a 144-page book to the 600 troops attending his speech today, it's a compilation of some of his speeches. It includes a forward from Trump saying, "I will not ask you to fight dumb wars."

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.
