Americaโ€™s Anti-Jewish Assassins Are Making the Case for Zionism History shows that violence against Jews creates more Zionists.

I wrote about the recent spate of anti-Zionist violence against American Jews and how such assaults just make Zionism's argument for it. "The unwitting agents of Zionism throughout history have been those unwilling to tolerate Jews in their own countries." Gift link to the full piece:

Trump's "big" trade deal is with the UK:
- It's a framework not a deal
- They're our 11th largest trading partner
- They're only 3% of US trade (97% to go)
- They *already* charge average tariffs of only 1% (limited upside)

It's a photo op, not a macroeconomically significant moment.
