You must pay the cheese tax

Define Jewish State The phrase is even more complicated than it appears.

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We'll see. Even the die hards in that district are getting a bit tired of the bullshit.🤞🏼
