Posted by Mary Chastain on October 12, 2020 35 Comments

It looked like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) delivered her opening statement for Judge Amy Coney Barrett's hearing remotely using a teleprompter. It made the delivery even more awkward, especially since it's hard not to follow her eyes.

The history of Israel since its rebirth in 1948 has been littered with numerous brutal acts of terror and bloodshed against its citizens and defenders.
