But nowhere does he mention the deep visceral hatred of Hamas and associated groups toward Israel. It was always apparent that not long after the Oct. 7 massacre Israel would lose the public relations war. Israel does not deliberately target civilians. No serious defender of Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 massacres argues that the lives of Israeli children are worth more than those of Gazan children.

At its height in 2015, we brought in somewhere between $5 million and $6 million in revenue. To be honest, though, as soon as I started working on the pan, I knew it wasn't going to fail.
