MAGA Sycophant Elise Stefanik says that college students chanting "from the river to the sea" is an open call for genocide against Jewish people, but Trump's threat that "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," is mere diplomacy against Iranians.
So a chant by helpless college students that also appears in the Likud charter is suddenly genocide, but a threat as civilization-wide death by the guy who has the nuclear codes is "diplomacy."
Reprehensible hypocrisy.

Media: WBUR on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Four previously unknown recordings of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Pakistani singer known as the ‘King of the Kings of Qawwali’ who died in 1997, have been rediscovered on a warehouse shelf in England. They’re released on a new album called “Chain of Light.” Michael Brook — the Canadian guitarist and composer who recorded the newly released tracks with Kahn back in 1990 — and Hussein Rashid, a scholar of Muslim and U.S. culture, join…
