On today’s program, Ben-Ami said Biden saw the video and surprisingly called him. The 12-minute phone call, he said, “proved once again how much he loves us and how much he supports us. That reinforced my feelings that brought me to express those words of gratitude last week.”

President Biden surprisingly called החדשות - N12 anchor Oded Ben-Ami after the words of gratitude Oded voiced last week. He told the story on air today:

With the threat of an Iranian attack on Israel imminent, Dr. Suzanne Maloney, one of America’s foremost authorities on Iran, says the U.S. must be tougher on Tehran, no matter who is elected in November.

ובבוקר הזה, תקשיבו שוב לרייצ׳ל, אמא של הרש גולדברג פולין ז״ל, האישה העוצמתית והחכמה, שאמרה כל הזמן את מה שחשוב- ״המחיר להחזיר אותם הביתה יהיה יקר, אבל המחיר לא להחזיר אותם יהיה יקר יותר. כי לעולם לא נתאושש כעם. לא נהיה יותר העם שיכול להגיד שהוא מעריך חיים. נסתכל לילדים שלנו

Initial autopsy report indicate that the 6 Israeli hostages were executed by a gunshot to the head. Their bodies show severe neglect. At least one was bound. The IDF believes they were murdered by Hamas in the past few days as Israeli forces were closing in on their location.

In almost four years of Unholy, perhaps the most moving interview we’ve done is with Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son Hersh was buried yesterday. That interview is quoted extensively in this very affecting The New Yorker piece newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Soon after the horrific events of October 7, I met with Jon & Rachel Goldberg-Polin, friends of many years. Jon said “don’t think about helping Hersh, imagine it was Leo”. Those words never left me. Today is my son Leo’s BDay - as I look at him, all I can think about is Hersh.

This is harassment and has nothing to do with CNN’s coverage, and everything to do with Dana being Jewish. It’s vile antisemitism on full display. Your mask can’t hide your bigotry.
