from The Daily Signal · host The Daily Signal

This month, Kristof published a piece titled “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” where he alleges that the Israeli military used dogs to rape inmates. That is the biggest blood libel and slur against the Jewish people that I’ve ever heard.
