That's the thing.The press keeps uncritically citing fatality reports from the "Palestinian Health Ministry" while knowing they are run by Hamas and consistently try to attribute Palestinian deaths from Hamas rockets to Israeli strikes.
And Hamas doesn't bother to build bomb shelters for Palestinians because they don't mind innocent Palestinian deaths (they just use them as propaganda) so those Palestinians have no protection from Hamas' indiscriminately launched rockets.
Even if you cared nothing for Israeli lives and only cared about Palestinian lives, you should recognize Hamas' attacks kill innocent Palestinians and the Iron Dome saves them. It's telling how some politicians are so full of ignorance or hate that they ignore that fact.
Again, these deaths are almost guaranteed to be reported by the Gaza Health Ministry (& thus most western media citing them) as resulting from Israeli strikes:
This is a Palestinian group going through every death. Every western news outlet reported all of these deaths as resulting from Israeli strikes bc they cited the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, but up to 8 of 9 kids may have been killed by Hamas rockets.

Hamas is ultimately responsible for every death, but think about that: As many as 8 of the 9 Palestinian children killed may have been killed directly by Hamas rockets. Now look at how they were reported by news outlets.

It's not really about Kushner personally, but seeing a lot of takes like this misunderstanding the significant accomplishments achieved in the last couple years.
The reality is that much of the Arab world has been focused on destroying Israel since 1948. It has led to anti-Semitism becoming mainstream in those countries. That was despite the obvious costs of war and major benefits of peace. It was rarely about Palestinians for them.
However, even as the interests of some of those countries started to align with those of Israel (Ex: in opposing Iran), the view of the constantly wrong foreign policy establishment was that any discussion of peace must be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

1st pic is of British mandate, which had Arabs and Jews. 2 was plan to split the mandate, which was rejected by Arab states that instead started a war to wipe out Jews. They lost that war leading to 3 only green area was Jordan & Egypt. They then started & lost another war in 67.
Btw I like how people pretend Israel was the only country formed this way when Iraq, Jordan, Syria etc were all created out of British and French mandates around the same time.
This isn’t remotely true. In 1947, the population was about 1.9M. About 32% of that was Jewish. But Jews made up most of the immigrants that year (for obvious reasons post-Holocaust) so UN attempted a partition that took that into consideration.

Some things to think about:

How many Jews live in areas controlled by Hamas? 0

How many Muslims live as full citizens in Israel? ~1.6M or about 18%

Gaza? Male homosexuality is illegal

Israel? Host largest gay pride period in Asia each year.
Gaza? Illegal to sell land to Jews (punishable by death)
Israel? No religious restrictions on who you can sell land to.

Gaza: Regularly fire rockets at civilians, then use women/children as shields.
Israel: Target attacks on militants and system of bomb shelters for civilians.
Gaza? Married women need a husband's protection to travel. Women's rights severely restricted.
Israel? Women have equal rights in almost every area.

Gaza? Terrorists are celebrated and families often get paid.
Israel? Military members are often prosecuted for abuse of force.

This is a really frustrating response I keep seeing. Just because the claim of widespread voter fraud was false doesn't mean there aren't legit concerns about voter security, especially given major changes in election processes that occurred in 2020.
As an example, drop boxes were not common in most states before 2020. They are a good idea, but having a bunch of ballots gathered in one place can be an obvious risk if they are not secured so rules that limit their locations/times to places they can be observed make sense.
Similarly, voter ID is a common-sense measure to ensure that the people voting are supposed to be. Even if voter fraud is not widespread, any illegal votes can cancel out and devalue the votes of Americans. Gov't has a responsibility to prevent that.

Berenson writes a summary thread full of misinformation and idiocy. Just to highlight 2 of the points. It doesn’t sound that frightening when you say Israel now has less than 2 people dying per day from Covid-19 so instead Alex randomly decided to extrapolate the # to US pop.
Now this one, which is his favorite idiotic claim. Not only is it arguable, but it’s 100% false. It is scientifically impossible for mRNA vaccines to cause a spike in Covid. The vaccines do not have the virus in them.
He’s taking data of vaccines starting during outbreaks and pretending they cause the outbreaks bc vaccines take time to work. But even forgetting the science, we know this is false because: 1) The people getting covid were mostly people that weren’t vaccinated.

He’s such an irresponsible a-hole with his just asking questions shtick. A nightly segment of conspiratorial nonsense.

This is like saying 8k people a day are dying in the US after eating breakfast. We can’t speculate how many died bc of breakfast, but raises serious questions.
VAERS is a self-reporting system. We vaccinated all the people in nursing homes first. So when one of those elderly people dies of any cause (car accident, heart attack, stroke, cancer etc), they could have been added in there. Some of those people also died of Covid btw.
And he does this with everything, not just vaccines. Remember how many segments he did “just asking questions” about whether it was really Assad mass-murdering Syrians with chemical weapons only his regime really had access to?
