Yes. I am also proud to be living at a time when I can be not only a Jew but a Zionist. Jews now have a tiny country to love and support aside from our nations of birth. One is our father and one is our mother. We want peace and prosperity of ALL Israel and its neighbors.Zionists care about the middle east and its peoples.
It is a country of Jews and Arabs and some Christians who are all Israelis. Sabras mostly and and some immigrants. 2 million Arabs live in Israel and are full Israeli citizens
Do people think Israelis fall out of the sky? They are Americans. They are from Germany, Russia, the UK, France.
It's a Western colony. Founded, armed, and supported by the West, and made up of Westerners.
The other day I had to speak up at an Art Camp for seniors I was attending , with lots of other aging artsy types. They are very outspoken thinking everyone has their opinion. When the topic turned to the “badness of Israel” I spoke out. I said my Israeli families were running day and nights into bomb shelters so they would not be killed. I said my husband’s parents fled Nazi Germany and fascist Italy to Israel so they would survive the Holocaust- because America and everyone else shut their doors. Let people hear the complete story. Don’t stay silent.
I never wanted to be a political account.
I'm a British Jew. A husband. A father of two. An engineer. A man who believed that if you worked hard, treated people decently and kept your head down, the world would mostly leave you alone.
My grandfather survived Auschwitz.
For most of my life, antisemitism felt like history. Something to remember, not something my children would have to face.
Then came October 7th.
Since then I've watched Jewish people told to stay quiet, hide who they are, apologise for who they are, or accept standards that would never be applied to anyone else.
For a long time I said very little. I didn't want to drag my family into politics. I convinced myself someone else would speak.
Eventually I realised that silence comes with its own cost.
Martin Luther King Jr wrote:
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
So I'm speaking.
Against antisemitism.
Against extremism.
Against political intimidation.
For free speech, liberal democracy, integration and honest debate.
You don't have to agree with me on everything.
But if you're willing to have difficult conversations without hatred, you're welcome here.
I went to see this exhibition this morning. It is incredibly well done and so worth taking the time to go, you may be surprised by how you feel and your reaction to it.
HENRY NOWAK PROTEST
Over 1,000 people gathered in Southampton.
Families, women, children, locals and supporters from across the country united to demand justice.
🔥🚨 JUST IN — Independent Journalist Nick Shirley says he has IDENTIFIED the man who threatened to KILL him in broad daylight.
CAIN: "Have we found out? Who is this man?"
SHIRLEY: "Yeah, I have found out who this man is; he's actually an immigration LAWYER here in NYC, down by Chinatown."
"Like he said, he is VERY well known in left-wing organizations, if you show his face."
"I have a buddy who has said that he's threatened his life as well."

Three days ago, I wrote that many Jews in Montreal feel like we are living in a pressure cooker.
Waiting for the next escalation. The next synagogue attack. The next Jewish school shooting. The next tragedy everyone will pretend came out of nowhere.
This morning, we woke up to the news that Temple Emanu-El, the oldest reform synagogue in the country, was firebombed.
I’m not a prophet. I’m not a fortune teller. I’m just a Jew living in Montreal.
And while everyone waits for the official wording, I will say what Jewish Montrealers already know: this is what happens when our leadership refuses to call out antizionism for what it is, a violent global hate movement.
It radicalizes people. It dehumanizes Jews. It turns Jewish schools, synagogues, community centres, and visible Jews into acceptable targets.
Call it what it is, instead of creating another committee of questionable bureaucrats to check off a box. Too little, too late.
Since when was it standard practice for UK riot police to beat unarmed passive middle-aged men viciously with the sharp edges of their riot shields, and then repeatedly kick them when they're on the ground? Is this some new crowd-control protocol? Just asking for a friend.
A wonderful pre-Shabbat story:
At the bank, the teller asked how to pronounce my name. He asked it’s origin. Reflexively, I said it’s “Hebrew.”
I immediately grew nervous, having just told a stranger, with access to my information, that I’m a Jew.
But he smiled, and asked its meaning. I told him, and that’s it the same as the name “Evan” but just a different dialect. He asked if I’ve ever been to Israel and what it’s like there. He then wished me well and asked how to say “goodbye” in Hebrew and was elated to hear it was the word “Shalom,” which he already knew.
I’m so grateful to live in Florida where Jews are safe and cherished.
Israel provides Jewish doctors from the diaspora who choose to immigrate to Israel with grants of tens of thousands of shekels and rental assistance to encourage the immigration of brilliant minds.
In 2025 alone, more than 500 doctors immigrated to Israel. 🇮🇱👨⚕️👩⚕️
I believe all lives matter. However…
What was done to Iryna Zarutska was beyond heartbreaking. Afterwards, the savage who stabbed her said “I got that white bitch.” Also, while she was bleeding out, the people around her did nothing.
What was done to Henry Nowak was legitimate injustice. The cops were way more afraid to be seen as racist than they were to enforce the law.
Besides, wearing this shirt would piss off the right people, so I think it’s funny.
Reason I don’t wear a Black Lives Matter shirt is because no one wearing that shirt would give a rat’s ass if my black conservatarian ass died. Speaks to a larger problem than just “black lives.”
Sure we are happy to have been born Jewish. It is a rare privilege and also a challenge. We have a lot of history to learn- We must try to learn Hebrew if we are able. We should try to live our moral inheritance and pass it on to the next generation. We should never do anything to shame our people -our Creator - or our Holy neshamas. It is a awesome challenge.
Our collective heart is shattered and our blood calls out for justice.
A young Jewish woman — a 23-year-old nurse — was viciously assaulted on the NYC subway in broad daylight. A woman screamed the medieval blood libel “Jews are eating kids!” at her, “I smell the kids on you,” then choked her, threw her to the ground, beat her, and ripped out chunks of her hair. The victim ended up hospitalized with a concussion.
This wasn’t random rage — it was pure, ancient Jew-hatred unleashed in 2026 New York.
And where is Mayor Zohran Mamdani? Four days of deafening silence. No condemnation. No statement. No leadership.
This is not leadership. This is complicity.
When the highest elected official in our city refuses to speak out against a brazen antisemitic attack — especially amid a shocking 70% surge in anti-Jewish hate crimes — it sends a clear message: Jewish New Yorkers are fair game. Mamdani’s rhetoric, his policies, and his selective silence have helped foster an environment where medieval blood libels are shouted on our subways and Jews are targeted for simply existing.
This young woman could have been any one of us. Any Jewish mother, daughter, sister, grandmother riding the train home. She is someone’s child. Someone who chose to heal others — and was brutalized for being Jewish.
How many more attacks will it take? How many more silent days from City Hall?
We are not strangers in this city. Brooklyn, our neighborhoods, our history — we built lives here after the Holocaust. We deserve to ride the subway, walk the streets, and live without fear.
Enough. Call out the hate. Demand leadership that protects every New Yorker — including Jews.
Silence in the face of blood libels and violence is not neutrality. It is permission.
My heart weeps for this young woman.
Never again means never again — not even in 2026 New York.
Last night, at an official UTLA House of Representatives meeting, 160 credentialed teachers — the people who teach your children — spent thirty minutes denouncing me by name, declared that Zionism is racism, and then voted to expel me. I never said a single word the entire meeting.
For two hours I sat silently as an observer, which is my right as a union member in good standing. Then someone noticed I was there. What followed was half an hour of teachers explaining how terrible I am, how Zionism is racism, and how I had personally tried to get them fired — stories I don’t recognize and that anyone who knows how schools work would find laughable.
Then they voted out the only Orthodox Jew in the room.
No charges. No process. No hearing. Just organized hostility, a vote, and a gavel.
I’ve been doing antisemitism accountability work in K-12 education for years. I file complaints. I document. I publish. I name names. Apparently my silent presence on a Zoom call is a five-alarm emergency.
I want to be clear about what happened: a union used official meeting time to conduct a public denunciation of a Jewish advocate, then expelled her for the crime of showing up and saying nothing.
I’ve been kicked out of better places.
But I’ve never been more certain the work is landing.
That is the way Jew/Israel haters . We see right through you. You Turn every mishap into a conspiracy. You guys are such lowlife. However- there is a recording of your brew of hate snd lies. You will be finding out that shenanigans in life are remembered and are seen.
🚨🇺🇸 Thomas Massie will honor the USS Liberty Crew in Congress on June 8th.
Israel KILLED 34 Americans while attacking the USS Liberty in 1967, injuring 171 more.
AIPAC says speaking about the event is antisemitic.
The more I sit down and talk to Jewish people, the more I realize how maligned they are.
The lies the JQ crowd now tell about me are similar to those they tell about Jews.
I was part of that crowd, but now I'm glad to say I'm no longer an antisemite.

Nobody asked them to do it. Nobody trained them for it. They were just two teenage boys — the kind you pass on the sidewalk and barely notice — leaning on their bikes in the summer heat when they saw something no child should ever have to experience.
A man walked away with 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas. She was supposed to be playing outside. She was supposed to be safe.
And in that single, awful second — while most of us would have been paralyzed, reaching for a phone, waiting for someone with a uniform and a badge to show up — these two boys made a choice.
They got on their bikes and they went after him.
No hesitation. No waiting for permission. No "someone else will handle it." Just two pairs of legs pumping hard through the streets of Lancaster, eyes locked on a stranger who had a little girl that wasn't his.
They tracked him. They stayed close. They didn't let him disappear into the afternoon like something that was never going to be found.
And then they confronted him.
Two teenagers. On bikes. Against a grown man who had already done the unthinkable. They forced him to stop.
He let Jocelyn go.
"The entire thing lasted only minutes." — Lancaster Police
Minutes. Because two boys closed the distance fast enough to interrupt it. Because they were raised — by someone, somehow — to believe that other people's emergencies are your business too.
When reporters asked one of them afterward why they did it, he gave the most deflating, most beautiful, most teenage answer imaginable.
He shrugged.
"I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
No speech. No GoFundMe. No press conference. Just a kid who saw a little girl in danger and couldn't make himself look away.
Jocelyn went home. She was reunited with her family. She got to grow up.
Because of two boys on bikes who hadn't been asked, hadn't been trained, hadn't been paid — and did it anyway.
America has a few more chances to pass it. We voters should have a march on Washington. Especially Black Americans whom would be fraudsters are using hypocritically and with embarrassing bigotry to twist dim witted Americans opinions
