Can you please clarify the stat of the day? You write that the percentage of Democratic voters that are no longer “backing” Israel is 33%. I believe you mean that that is the percentage that IS backing Israel versus 83% of Republicans…

Yeah, the way that was written threw me too.

I was about to like that response, but actually just thanks for letting me know. So terrible.

How's Gene Hackman fighting in "Vietnam" at age 16 in 1946? Might want to rethink that one.

He had a hatred of French colonialism and was secretly the real founder of North Vietnam.

Thank you! Hackman was making movies my Dad (a Vietnam vet himself) enjoyed as a young man. Hackman made 2 French Connections (one I find unwatchable) and the Conversation during the Vietnam war. He served 4.5 years in the Marine Corps, in pre-communist China, later Japan and Hawaii.

Unless…?

What the h_ll is Netanyahu’s and Likud's delay?!

I hope the reason is only because of the newly-guaranteed $8B from the US in additional armaments that need to be acquired first, because this opportunity is once in a lifetime and won't be available much longer.

Israel before Trump’s inauguration needed to refit and replenish -that tine is over and the so called second stage is a no winner so expect the IDF to back into Gaza under new rules of engagement

Hackman served in Nam? In the Army??

He lied about his age to serve 4 and a half years as a radio operator (slash rifleman) in the Marine Corps. He was deployed to Qingdao, China. That was prior to the communist takeover of China, let alone the Vietnamese communist takeover.

A rare miss for the Scroll. Boo
