Third-party 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. strongly criticized incumbent President Joe Biden's response to the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization.
Kennedy said in an interview with the New York Sun that Biden has “allowed the Democratic Party to drift away from 80 years of support for Israel" in recent weeks. He further stated that the administration's recent rhetoric has “driven the rising tide of antisemitism nationally."
He stated that Biden's "most disappointing deficiency" has been his failure to make the moral case for Israel's need to destroy Hamas after the terrorist organization committed the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust on October 7.
Kennedy blamed Biden's "tentati...

The head of Hamas’s political leadership, Ismail Haniyeh, said an Israeli airstrike killed three of his sons on Wednesday, the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr, an attack that could complicate a U.S.-led plan for a cease-fire in the six-month-old conflict in Gaza.
The Israeli military didn’t immediately comment on the statement.
Hamas said five people died in the strike, which the group said hit a car making social visits for Eid, the holiday marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Haniyeh, in a separate statement, said some of his grandchildren also died.
“I thank God for this honor that he bestowed upon us with the martyrdom of my three sons and some grandchildren,” Haniyeh said in a video statement posted on X by Qatar-bas...

Fifty-six Democratic members of the US Congress have penned a letter to US President Joe Biden and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, calling on them to withhold the transfer of offensive arms to Israel, following the deaths of World Central Kitchen workers earlier this month.
Announcing the move on social media, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisconsin) wrote, "Big news! Our letter to withhold offensive arms transfers to Israel picked up steam today. We added 16 signers for our final push - 56 Members of Congress total. A shift is underway!"
"The Israeli airstrike that killed seven WCKitchen aid workers, including an American citizen, was absolutely horrifying and unacceptable," Pocan wrote.
"Today, I called on the Biden Admin to withhold offensive arms transfers to Israel with Rep. M...

Baltimore, MD - Apr. 9, 2024:
Dear Baltimore Community,Over the last six years, I’ve heard from many parents of children with disabilities about the brutal process of obtaining an appropriate education for your children. The years of fighting with the school system that many of our parents endure is not okay. As a member of the Ways and Means committee, I have spent a significant amount of time studying this issue and working on ways to change the current process. Last year, I sponsored legislation to shift the burden of proof in these cases from the parents to the school system. That bill faced a significant amount of opposition and ultimately did not pass. Over the interim, I worked with the Chair of the Ways and Means committee on other solutions and we drafted ...

Jerusalem, Israel - Apr. 9, 2024 - On Rosh Chodesh Nissan in Yerushalayim, a special program at the Yeshurun Central Synagogue attracted hundreds of women from the north and south of Israel, as well as from the US.
"Women United in Prayer for Am Yisrael" was led by dynamic singer Ricka Razel with her daughter Michal and female musicians. Her brothers Aaron and Yonatan Razel are popular Israeli singers. But when Ricka stated after having eight children and running a business that when she reached her forties she had a kind of mid-life crisis and thought, “I’m going to be a grandmother soon, my life is basically over; I need to follow my passion! I knew that my real passion in life was to write music, and I began to go back to my songs." She began singing fo...

More than 50 people were arrested Tuesday after the Senate cafeteria was shut down by anti-Israel protesters chanting "Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats!"
The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed to Fox News that those arrested inside the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., were charged with Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding.
"It is illegal to demonstrate inside any of the Congressional Buildings," Capitol Police said in a statement.

A new proposal for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with the release of hostages held by the militant group, has been met with caution from both sides, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
The plan, presented by Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns to officials from Israel, Hamas, Qatar, and Egypt in Cairo, suggests a six-week ceasefire in Gaza.
However, negotiations remain in a delicate state as significant disagreements persist between the two sides. Key points of contention include the conditions for displaced Palestinians to return to northern Gaza, the selection of Palestinian prisoners for release, and the potential permanency of the ceasefire.
The ceasefire period would see Hamas releasing 40 hostages in exchange for...
