The 66-year-old actor-comedian took to X on Monday and hit back at one follower who wrote that he liked Lovitz but‚ “You support genocide..

A war Hamas deliberately started.” “Knowing Israel would retaliate and knowing innocent Palestinian civilians would be killed‚” the actor continued. “They don’t care.” GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS When another account labeled Lovitz as “anti-Semitic‚” claiming he’s “a jew defending a genocidal apartheid regime demanding all other jews do so‚” the “Saturday Night Live” alumni wrote back‚ “…All lies. Keep trying.” Lovitz recently made headlines when he blasted comedian John Oliver‚ who slammed America for supporting Israel. “This country has emphatically picked a side‚” Oliver‚ who accused Israel of “war crimes” and a “form of apartheid” in 2021‚ stated. “In recent years‚ we’ve given Israel $3.8 billion a year in military aid. You can make geopolitical arguments as to why that is or isn’t a valid thing to do‚ but it means we’re heavily implicated.” Lovitz hit back at Oliver: “Yes. The United States is aligned with Israel‚ our Democratic ally‚ not Hamas‚ a terrorist organization who broke a two year cease fire‚ murdered at least 1‚200 innocent civilians‚ and took 240 civilian hostages back with them. So they could start a never ending war with Israel and annihilate Israel and then Jews all over the world. God bless America.” Related: Jon Lovitz Blisters John Oliver For Slamming U.S. Aid To Israel‚ Adds‚ ‘God Bless America’

The United States should aggressively push Qatar to imprison Hamas leaders for the hundreds of hostages the terror group is holding in Gaza‚ according to GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. Top Hamas leaders are currently granted safe haven in Qatar’s capital city of Doha‚ from which Hamas makes many of its most significant decisions. The city houses the Hamas politburo‚ the main decision-making body of the terror group. It is comprised of 15 members and is led by chairman Ismail Haniyeh. “Qatar has blood on its hands. President Biden should demand that Qatar arrest Hamas leaders and seize their assets. He should make this demand every day — twice on Tuesdays — at least until every hostage has been safely returned. If Qatar refuses‚ there should be consequences‚” Lee posted on social media on Sunday. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE Qatar has blood on its hands. President Biden should demand that Qatar arrest Hamas leaders and seize their assets. He should make this demand every day—twice on Tuesdays—at least until every hostage has been safely returned. If Qatar refuses‚ there should be consequences. — Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) November 26‚ 2023 Lee has been a vocal critic of Qatar and the Biden administration for treating Doha lightly regarding its ties to terrorism. “Qatar gives sanctuary to terrorists who committed war crimes against American and Israeli citizens. The United States should revisit its [cozy] relationship with Qatar‚” Lee said in another Sunday post. Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 and took roughly 240 people hostages‚ largely civilians‚ before returning to Gaza. The hostages include 33 children. Israel negotiated an agreement last week for a temporary pause in fighting in exchange for 50 of the hostages to be released. The Biden administration has recently begun to push Israel to allow for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting to allow for more aid to reach Palestinian civilians. Critics of the Biden administration pressure have pointed out that much of the aid sent to Gaza has been confiscated by Hamas‚ which is believed to have ample resources and fuel stashed in an extensive tunnel network spread throughout the Gaza Strip. “Why does President Biden seem to put more pressure on Israel than on Qatar‚ which provides sanctuary to the terrorists who comprise the Hamas leadership?” Lee said. GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS “Israel knows what it needs to do to defeat Hamas‚” he added. “President Biden doesn’t. He should let Israel fight this war. If he wants to apply pressure to solve this problem‚ he should focus on Hamas and its enablers in Iran‚ Qatar‚ and Russia‚ just to name a few.” Hamas’ ties to Qatar have been a boon for the terror group. For its part‚ the country has claimed that its connections to terror leaders are an aid to Western nations. Qatar has maintained ties to Middle East terror networks‚ claiming to be a moderating force among the Arab world’s most extreme elements.

Pro-Palestinian protesters vandalized New York City’s flagship public library in Manhattan on Thanksgiving‚ and the clean-up process could cost up to $75‚000. The enormous building on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street‚ known for its iconic lion statues out front‚ was defaced with red handprints‚ stickers‚ and green spray paint during at least three separate protests over the last few weeks. The most damage was done on Thursday when hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE “On Thanksgiving‚ individuals involved in a protest engaged in a shameful act of vandalism to the Library’s flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman building‚ a space devoted to the open exchange of ideas and intellectual debate‚” New York Public Library spokeswoman Jennifer Fermino told The Washington Post. The flagship library building is named for Stephen A. Schwarzman‚ a Jewish businessman and philanthropist who donated $100 million in 2008 for the library’s expansion. Some of the graffitied structures are delicate carved pieces that may have to be replaced if crews cannot remove the paint without damaging them‚ Garrett Bergen‚ director of facilities for the library‚ told Gothamist. “It is too early to say the costs of fixing the damages but the repair costs for all could be between 60k and 75k‚” Fermino told the New York Post. The NYPD ended up arresting 34 protesters‚ including some who spray-painted “Free Palestine” on the library’s pillars. Library display boards outside the building were also vandalized with green and red paint — the colors of the Palestinian flag — and the words “Free Gaza.” Some protesters also briefly disrupted the parade by gluing their hands to the pavement on its route. Several wore white jumpsuits drenched in fake blood and bearing words like “colonialism‚” “consumerism‚” “ethnic cleansing‚” and “fascism.” GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS Police said four people allegedly connected to the library vandalism were criminally charged with resisting arrest‚ obstructing governmental administration‚ trespassing‚ and disorderly conduct. The other 30 people arrested were issued summons for trespassing. The library’s vandalism comes in the wake of budget cuts due to New York City’s illegal migrant crisis. Earlier this month‚ Mayor Eric Adams (D) slashed the city’s budget in several areas‚ including public libraries‚ policing‚ and sanitation. “Migrant costs are going up‚ tax revenue growth is slowing‚ and COVID stimulus funding is drying up‚” Adams said in a statement. The library spokeswoman noted that the library “strongly supports the right to protest” but said the “steep budget cuts” have already affected the library’s service and the vandalism will be “costly to repair.” Libraries across the city have already shuttered on Sundays in response to the budget cuts.

Actor John Travolta recalled a near-death experience he had while piloting a plane in 1992. The 69-year-old recently discussed what happened while attending the London premiere of the Disney+ short film “The Shepherd.” In the movie‚ a pilot loses electrical control of the plane he’s flying. “I actually experienced a total electrical failure‚ not in a Vampire‚ but in a corporate jet over Washington D.C.‚” Travolta said during a Q&;A about the film‚ per Variety. “So when I read [Frederick Forsyth’s book of the same name]‚ it resonated even more because of this experience I had personally had.” “I knew what it felt like to absolutely think you’re going to die‚” he continued. “I had two good jet engines‚ but I had no instruments‚ no electric‚ nothing. And I thought it was over.” A report about the incident described how investigators found “the threat of a mid-air collision was very real” at the time‚ according to The Washington Post. The report said a Boeing 727 headed for New York almost collided with Travolta’s plane‚ resulting in flights being suspended across four airports. “And then as if by a miracle‚ we descended as per the rules to a lower altitude‚” Travolta said. “I saw that Washington D.C. monument and identified that Washington National Airport was right next to it‚ and I made a landing just like [pilot Freddie Hooke] does in the film.” GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS Frederick Forsyth’s 1975 novella‚ upon which the film is based‚ tells the story of Freddie Hooke (Ben Radcliffe)‚ a young Royal Air Force pilot flying home for Christmas across the North Sea. After his plane has a total electrical failure‚ a pilot (Travolta) appears in the sky to guide him to safety‚ per Variety.  Travolta said Radcliffe “so beautifully” portrayed Freddie’s emotions in the movie. “He captured that despair when you think you’re actually going to die. And I had my family on board and I said ‘This is it‚ I can’t believe I’m gonna die in this plane.’”

Is there a full moon every single month? Yes. Do I still gaze up at the night sky every single time to admire it? Of course. And the one making an appearance tonight is sure to be no different. November’s full moon is known by many names‚ one of them being the full Beaver Moon. According to the Farmer’s Almanac‚ the name was given because this particular full moon coincides with the time of year when beavers are almost done prepping for the winter. At this point‚ they’ve gathered enough food and are making their way into their shelters‚ ready for the long winter ahead. Frank Cone/Pexels Want to join me in admiring this celestial event? The magnificent Beaver Moon will begin to rise in the sky tonight at 3:48 p.m. EST and should be visible until tomorrow morning at 8:28 a.m. EST — because the sun will be setting a little less than two hours earlier‚ they’ll briefly be visible at the same time. I don’t know about you‚ but I love when that happens! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here! The post Don’t Miss The Full Beaver Moon Tonight!
