But maybe there is a reason.
1)
Omeed Malik has financed Carlson’s broadcast venture to the tune of $15 million. Malik, a Muslim of Pakistani and Iranian background, has contacts in Iran.

I think we should question some of the other things he is involved in.
I am concerned that he may be a problem for national security."

@RobSchneider I remember when Hollyweird turned its back on Roseanne after she had given jobs to so many. They all knew she was not a racist. She had fought for civil rights her whole life and ensured African Americans were represented on the new version of the Roseaane Show and yet,
1)
@RobSchneider they canceled her over her misconstrued tweet and refused to allow her to apologize and explain what the tweet was about.
I was friendly with her on Twitter and we were talking to Iranians at the time who wanted peace with Israel.
2)
@RobSchneider The people of Iran love Israel and Israelis love Iranians. Iranians wanted their freedom. Her misconstrued tweet was not just about how the left is classist and uses class to divide us but

That's what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did when he paid tribute to Charlie Kirk and posted:
"Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth & defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization.

I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place.
We lost an incredible human being.
His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact.
Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk"

Those who have had children grow up, get married, move away, know how it feels—the happiness for them, the sadness of their leaving, and the worry about how their lives will be.

Moses, I imagine, felt all those things in his last address to the people he led for 40 years before his own death and before they would become a fully free nation in the land promised to them.

@PenninahBloom I truly miss Pope John Paul II because his legacy was improving Christian-Jewish relations and is defined by unprecedented efforts to heal centuries of division, foster mutual respect, and establish a foundation for lasting reconciliation.
1)
@PenninahBloom He is widely recognized as the most significant figure in transforming Catholic-Jewish relations in modern history, breaking down deep-seated prejudices and building bridges between the two faiths.
2)
@PenninahBloom His personal history, growing up in Wadowice, Poland, where he had Jewish friends and neighbors and witnessed the Holocaust firsthand, profoundly shaped his understanding and empathy towards the Jewish people. He often referred to Jews as "our elder brothers in faith,"

This week, again, Hamas has agreed to continue negotiations on release of Jews taken hostage by Hamas.
1)
The simple fact is that kidnapping and hostage taking is nothing new in the Muslim world. The practice goes back to the early days of Islam in Mecca and Yathrib (Medina), when Christians and Jews were taken hostage and forced to convert to Islam or killed.
2)
It was a practice essential to the slave trade in West Africa, where Muslim forces kidnapped and sold captives to Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and English interests. A lot of other examples could be noted over the past 1,400 years.
