Full Summary

Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Key Takeaway

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

Modi's February 25 address to Israel's Knesset affirmed India's firm support for Israel, alongside new deals on defense, trade, and technology that deepened ties. Posts since February 26, like Mahesh Vikram Hegde's pro-Israel statement with over 6,700 likes and Raju Parulekar's pro-Palestine call echoed by non-Muslims, highlight splits invoking national claims, religion, counter-terrorism, and empathy. The exchanges echo India's evolving foreign policy—from non-aligned roots to balancing relations with both sides—while exposing domestic divides between Modi backers and critics. Older Pew data from 2025 showed Indians roughly split, with 34% viewing Israel favorably and 29% unfavorably.

Key Takeaway

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrapped up his landmark trip to Israel, countless Indians took to X with bold declarations: 'I stand with Israel' or 'I stand with Palestine.' These posts reveal raw divisions rooted in loyalty, history, and humanity.

Syria's Interior Ministry confirmed a large breakout last month after Syrian Democratic Forces withdrew ahead of government arrival on January 20, finding 138 breaches in the perimeter fence and far fewer than the reported 23,500 residents. The SDF countered by accusing Damascus factions of attacks that forced their exit, claiming government forces then released families under ministry watch. U.S. Central Command saw no escapes beforehand, while estimates put those who fled at 15,000 to 20,000, now scattering across the region as the now-nearly-empty camp highlights tensions in post-Assad Syria.

Key Takeaway

Thousands of ISIS-linked families slipped away from Syria's Al-Hol camp amid a chaotic handover between Kurdish forces and government troops.

Kiswani, founder of Within Our Lifetime, filed a federal lawsuit on February 25 in New York against Betar USA and its leaders, accusing them of a year-long campaign of stalking, threats, and intimidation tied to her Palestinian heritage, Arab ethnicity, and Muslim faith. The suit invokes the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act, citing incidents like aggressive filming, social media calls for assaults, and bounties referencing Israel's 2024 pager attacks on Hezbollah. It follows Betar's January 2026 settlement with New York AG Letitia James over similar bias-motivated actions, while Betar calls the claims baseless and vows to fight back.

Key Takeaway

Nerdeen Kiswani, pregnant and protesting, faced cash bounties for 'beepers' handed to her—a chilling nod to deadly explosions—and shouts promising 'intifada' right back at her.

A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Key Takeaway

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.

Nico O'Reilly's brace had Manchester City fans dreaming of the title, but Antoine Semenyo's missed chances turned cheers to groans at the Etihad.
