That the Democratic Party has stooped to calling J.D. Vance and other Republicans “weird” is a milestone in the descent of Jefferson’s party toward rock bottom. It is nothing but name-calling worthy of children, and they do this because they have nothing of substance and intelligence to challenge the Republicans’ policies, led by Donald Trump.

However, for sheer weirdness, nothing beats the Israelis, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had a sense of this. Following the satanic horrors of October 7, he said, “Any other people would have flattened the Strip.”

Consider a recent Israeli headline: “A 37-year-old man wounded when Gaza terrorists fired a rocket barrage of 15 projectiles…the military’s aerial defense array intercepted several projectiles, with several others hitting near kibbutzim…”

What is weird is the Israeli decision to invent this aerial defense array called Iron Dome. They’re very proud of it and have sold to other nations, but in truth, it has been a complete failure. Here’s why:

What’s being launched at Israel are terror rockets, terror being a human sensation of great fear. In terms of material damage, given the number of rockets fired, these small rockets have caused insignificant harm to property and individuals.

But as terror rockets, they have been completely successful because the terror begins with the launch that triggers air sirens in Israel. During the night, hundreds of thousands of Jews startle awake and, in their pajamas, must flee into a home bomb shelter or an apartment house stairwell. Of course, those terrified at 3 a.m. include the children too.

The rockets out of Gaza started some 23 years ago. The IDF has discovered that today’s 18-year-old recruits who grew up in Sderot and adjacent communities show signs of PTSD.

Israelis are weird for having invented the Iron Dome because the normal response to these missiles........
