BILL GETS REAL: Late-night host Bill Maher torched Macklemore on Real Time, accusing clueless celebrities of fueling global antisemitism.

NO WAY, NORWAY: Norway is facing fierce international backlash over a controversial bill that could jail citizens for up to three years for doing business with Israeli communities in the West Bank. Israel’s UN ambassador and Christian group leaders slammed the proposal as deeply discriminatory, accusing the Norwegian government of criminalizing trade based on Jewish identity and creating an anti-Israel boycott under law.
GUEST EDITORIAL: Iris Reff Ronen, CEO of Warriors of Israel, writes that while global elites squabble over sanctions against Israel, she is watching wounded soldiers pull off miraculous comebacks. The rehabilitation boss slammed armchair politicians for pushing economic warfare while ignoring real human sacrifice. For injured troops rebuilding shattered lives in rehab centers, international political posturing is just background noise to their grueling battle for recovery.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “Because nowhere has this moral confusion become more obvious than in a place called Gaza. A little strip of land that was not part of the original Israel, but they won in a war launched against them, but then gave back, gave back as a peace gesture — did they tell you that part on TikTok, kids?” – Bill Maher
