J Street to Democrats: Unconditional Support for Israel’s Gaza War or Lose Endorsement

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:37:45 GMT

On Tuesday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Ranking Member Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., introduced a resolution pledging Congress would stand “with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” Nearly every member of Congress announced their support for the resolution — with the exception of 13 Democrats.The resolution, however, does not mention Palestinian civilians, who face an ongoing siege of medieval proportions — with Israeli forces cutting off access to food, water, and electricity — and calls for further restricting and scrutinizing imports because of Hamas’s use of bulldozers and other rudimentary equipment to break down the border fence with Israel. The lack of any attempt in the resolution to urge Israel to avoid civilian casualties, as the Palestinian territory stares down an apocalyptic and ongoing massacre, has led to a small pocket of resistance to the resolution among a handful of ...

DENVER (KDVR) — A reporter covering the loss of life in the Israel neighborhoods attacked by Hamas is local to Colorado.Nicole Zedeck, a Steamboat Springs native, was one of the first reporters to confirm babies and young children were among the dead, some of them brutally murdered. Denver man’s family members taken hostage by Hamas Zedeck said she’s never covered anything like the Hamas attack, because Israel has never experienced anything like it before. She lives in Tel Aviv, so she's missed a lot of the major warfare, but it still hit close to where she lives.Not even a few hours after FOX31 ended a conversation with Zedeck early Friday morning, a direct rocket was reported in Rehovot, with Hamas restarting fire on the Tel Aviv area where Zedeck lives. Thankfully, though, she seems to be safe."Central Israel has been under attack, a rocket falling about two blocks away from my apartment.

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is joining the legal fight to keep medication abortion legal nationwide.Weiser has joined a multistate coalition of 24 attorneys general to protect access to mifepristone, the first part of a two-part drug regimen used to induce abortions.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:37:45 GMT

(CNN) — Grammy award-winning artist Taylor Swift continues to be a good luck charm for the Kansas City Chiefs, as they defeated the Denver Broncos 19-8 at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night.Swift was watching the Chiefs in person for the third time this season and has yet to see them lose. The singer was shown on the Prime Video broadcast sitting in the family suite next to the mom of two-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce.And tight end Kelce, who was listed as questionable coming into the game after suffering an ankle injury in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings, ended up spearheading the Chiefs’ effort on the night. The 34-year-old had nine receptions for 124 yards (100 in the first half alone), the most receiving yards for a tight end in the NFL this season.Kelce continued his theme of somehow always getting open as he toyed with the Broncos’ defense in the middle of the field, exploiting their zone coverage on multiple occasions.Neither Kelce nor Swift have publicly commen...
