What Klay’s done in this league, I think should be celebrated and respected in our locker room — which it is,... We can take from those experiences. And I think also he can be excited about this possibility of a new experience to be able to create hopefully something similar, but in a different way and a different locker room and different culture.”

Netanyahu ignored every warning before October 7, and now, 28 days before the election, he’s suddenly busy fear-mongering,
Once, they were spared because of a mishap — but the next time will come, and they too will be sent to the depths of hell,
