At least 10% “of UNRWA’s Gaza workforce” belongs to “groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, according to Israeli intelligence,” a reality the UN merely ignores. “American tax dollars helped make this possible. That must end.”
Radical watch: Red Fat Cats Feud over Strategy
Two “Communist millionaires” who’re “putative allies” as they individually fund “a transnational web of far-left groups” are exchanging “fire” over their opposing fashions of “serious radicalism,” notes City Journal’s Stu Smith. Cox Communications inheritor Jim Chambers favors “militant” “direct action,” such because the “targeting of Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems” by Palestine Action UK with “illegal vandalism, destruction, and force,” whereas Neville Roy Singham believes “revolutionary mass movements will fail unless they are guided by an educated vanguard.” This “split between the far-Left’s two most serious backers” could help Congress, which is probing Singham’s funding sources, to realize “more effective scrutiny” of home teams “involved in coordinating large-scale unrest.”
Auto beat: Behind Ferrari’s Luce Horror
Ferrari’s new $640,000 electric Luce “looks to be the biggest product introduction flop since Crystal Pepsi,” snarks Jack Baruth at The Free Press. It doesn’t appear like a Ferrari, however like “every other electric four-door sedan on the market, only worse.” In response, Ferrari stock fell 8% in Milan and 5% in New York. The Luce exists as a result of of “European compliance and Chinese tariffs”: “Ferrari is heavily reliant on Chinese business” as 12% of its automobiles sell there, however tariffs hike non-EV fashions’ price. And the EU requires electric-vehicle manufacturing. “Ferrari will be lucky to sell a thousand Luces a year,” however the dud “is just the natural consequence of regulations that require every car firm to offer at least one EV.”

Americas watch: Mexico Protects Cartels
Mexico’s authorities has granted “institutional protection” to 10 “current and former Mexican officials” indicted by the United States “for allegedly conspiring with the Sinaloa Cartel to import massive quantities of drugs” into America, fumes Arturo McFields at The Hill. President Claudia Sheinbaum claims extraditions can be “a violation of national sovereignty,” and her minions complain that “the fight against drug trafficking is being used as a campaign tool by right-wing groups” for the midterm elections. Mexico “is blackmailing and testing the US,” falling back on historic paranoia concerning the “so-called threat of an invader.” But the Drug Enforcement Agency alerts “the beginning of a new phase” within the battle on the cartels, one that may maintain “Mexican government officials” to account for conspiring with the drug lords.
