Good morning Stroock's Books constituents. We write this from our adopted home state of New Jersey. The temp here is a positively Berkshire like 70 degrees this morning.
Man, as we get older that three-and-a-half-hour drive from the Stroock Northern Strategic Direction back home takes more and more out of us. They told us not to get old, but did we listen? Noooo. [Who's 'they'? The Jews?-Ed]. That's what they want you to think.
Speaking of God's Chosen People, The Jerusalem Post tells us that 37% of NYC Jews support Jew hater Zohran Mamdani for mayor. Now before one freaks as one does....to put that number another way, 67%* of New York City Red Sea Pedestrians oppose Mamdani. Still, that 37% is way too high. Who are these people? These are the trendy, secular, Reform Jews, the Yankee Protestants of the Jewish world. We link once more to Ezra Levant's great video on Trump and secular Jews. Go ahead and watch, it's pretty funny.
In any event, Mamdani is almost certainly the next mayor of New York City. NYC deserves this. Mamdani is the future of the Democrat Party. We shudder. The Golden Age of Jews in America is over.
Related. Stop Anti-Semitism via Legal Insurrection reports, 'Florida State University - female student attacks a Jewish peer at the gym wearing an IDF shirt, screaming "F*ck Israel, Free Palestine" and physically shoves him....' Again, we wear Israel shirts to the gym almost every day. At most we've gotten the side eye from someone. At best we've gotten a thumbs up and 'nice shirt'. Every once in a while a guy at our gym wears a 'Palestine' flag T-shirt. So what? What are we supposed to do? Drop a 40 pounder on his head? Anyway, this blog suggests sending this woman on an all expenses paid tour of Gaza.
And Israel Hayom reports, 'Hamas rejects deal as Netanyahu pushes for military resolution seeking to free hostages...A senior diplomatic official told Israel Hayom that Israel is engaged in talks with the US, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for a military resolution combined with the entry of humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Egypt and Qatar have informed Israel that the Hamas has not shifted its position and continues to reject the demands put forward.'
Okay peace and ceasefire and perpetual negotiation types, what do you want to do...? You people got anything to say other than 'Ceasefire! End the war!' You've got the moral high ground. You're so much more virtuous than the rest of us. Give in to Hamas, then what? ...Yeah.
Trump has had it with Hamas they say. Let's hope so. The war has gone on for too long. Time to win it. [Okay Mister 'let's win the war'. What do you do when Hamas murders a hostage on camera? And no, executing Hamas prisoners isn't the answer. Hamas doesn't care-Ed]. Exit question: what good is Steve Witkoff?
Look at us, making Sarah Hoyt's Sunday book promo. We shall try once again today to think of story ideas, or a story idea, for a 5th nuke novel. Wish us luck.
*Mamdani is also drawing a smattering of support from the anti-Zionist whack-jobs in the Hasidic community. About them the less said, the better.
