US NAVY DESTROYER CAME UNDER ATTACK IN THE RED SEA

A U.S. Navy destroyer came under attack in the Red Sea on Sunday, the Pentagon said, in what could signal another escalation in the tit-for-tat attacks between the American military and Iranian-backed militants.

A Pentagon official said the U.S.S. Carney, along with several commercial ships nearby, came under fire for several hours beginning around 10 a.m. Sunday. The destroyer intercepted at least one drone during the attack, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.U.S. Navy Destroyer Is Attacked in the Red Sea, Pentagon Says (msn.com)

IN THE NEWS---WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ANTISEMITIC MOB IN A NYC SCHOOL

Let’s begin with a thought experiment. Flashback to June 2020. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder by police and the subsequent Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations around the United States, a Black teacher in a predominately white school posts a picture on social media that reads, “I Stand With BLM.”

The response from white students is outrage. There are demands for the teacher’s ouster from the school, and days later, they organize an in-school demonstration replete with “All Lives Matter” placards. The protest, which is recorded on social media, spirals out of control as students rush toward the teacher’s classroom, demanding her immediate firing. She is whisked away by security officers to safety in another part of the building. The situation is so tense that the police are called to the school to restore order.

If such an event actually happened, it would likely fill hours of cable news and lead to even more public protests against such rank and obvious racism.

Yet, this event occurred as described above—at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica, Queens. The crucial difference is that the teacher was Jewish, and she had posted a picture on social media (taken two days after Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on Oct. 7) that read, “I Stand With Israel.” READ MORE AT We Need to Talk About the Antisemitic Mob in a New York City School (thedailybeast.com)
