Summary

Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.

Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.

    Not funding a genocide perpetrated by a rogue nuclear state that routinely spies on US citizens and influences our politics is kinda antisemitic don’t you think?

      Careful… someone with my religion used to own your house. Would be anti-semitic of you to suggest I can’t take it.
