CW wrote about it in his mclaughlin awards last December.

Fire alarms do not recruit donors and fighters for Hamas. That sort of puts them on the anti-Netanyahu, anti-Hamas side. Although I suppose if they're in buildings used for Hamas recruiting or funding efforts, like banks in Iran or the UAE or something, they sort-of do help keep Hamas going. (Or was it Bahrain instead of UAE? One of the smaller Gulf states has some significant involvement. Hamas certainly isn't just an Iranian effort, anyway.)

Of course, even when I do find something substantive on a politician's opinions about Israel/Palestine, it's never framed correctly. It always goes along with the political fiction that Hamas and Netanyahu are on opposite sides.

yeah, that was depressing. boebert is popular with the crazy and vindictive crowd, which is unfortunately a large percentage of republican primary voters.

@cw,

Jamal Bowman lost in my wife's home district (technically mine too, but i've been glacially slow with the moving paperwork so I couldn't vote yet).

I formally nominate Bowman for MDDOTW - for his 20-point primary loss itself, for his defiant non-concession concession speech, and also for the myriad underlying reasons for his loss. he's ignorantly anti-israel in a district with a LOT of Jews, AND he pulls fire alarms in the capital. I do believe he'll be on my "not sorry to see you go" list this December.
