Absolutely no ceasefire until Hamas is destroyed. No appeasement of terror.
Some keep calling for a ceasefire from Israel.
There was a ceasefire on October 6, 2023. Hamas didn’t care.
There have been numerous ceasefires in the last 20 years.
So in the face of Hamas saying they will try to annihilate Israel again, Israel should stand down!?!?

Usually if cash or other legal items are seized, the Govt will file for civil forfeiture of those items regardless of conviction-it's a lower burden if there is a nexus to the alleged crime. Here it's documents (as far as we know) so not sure what there would be to retrieve.

Ilhan is not an antisemite, she's a Palestinian American who criticizes the Israeli gov't. Conflating the two proves "israel=jews" does a disservice to Jews, conflating racial geopolitics & state repression w/ faith. She's a consistent voice against antisemitism w/ moral clarity.

Of course, if there are wiretaps, there are strict rules about those. If not wiretaps, the warrant has to be sufficiently particularized to not be a fishing expedition. One would think the Govt would have an airtight warrant in a case this big, but never know.
