My wife Toby and I are in @Israel becoming citizens. At the Interior Ministry, the official reviewing our papers - a Jew who came from Ethiopia in 1991 - asked me for proof that I was Jewish.
I showed him letters from our rabbi. As I did so, tears began to flow.
I told him: “I remember the 1970s and ’80s, when we marched and protested so Ethiopian Jews could come home to Israel. Back then, many questioned whether Ethiopian Jews were Jewish at all. We insisted our Black brothers and sisters were as Jewish as any of us.”
And now, 35 years later, here was a holy Ethiopian Jew confirming my Judaism.
We had come full circle.
Holding his hand, I sang: “Zeh hayom asah Hashem, nagilah ve’nismechah bo” - This is the day God has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Jews from East and West have returned home together.
Am Yisrael chai v’yichyeh.
Zohran Mamdani just signed an executive order protecting illegal immigrants from ICE, quoting the Prophet Muhammad.
Given Muhammad married a 6 year old and then slaughtered the Jewish tribes of Medina between 624 and 627 CE, this is completely on brand for Mamdani.
🚨 BREAKING:
After a decade of firing rockets on San Diego, the Mexican army infiltrated the US by land, sea and air, killing 50,000 Americans and capturing 8,500 hostages.
The UN urges "restraint" in America's response.
President Obama signs letter along with thousands of academics, celebrities, and activists laying the blame on Spanish and American imperialism.
Canada, Cuba and Guatemala also declare war on US and begin firing rockets on Minnesota, Florida and Texas.
Protests around the world erupt calling for the murder of English-speakers wherever they may be found.
🤔 Now ask yourself why this scenario is different.

@RepRashida Thank you Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omer, Cori Bush, and AOC, you’ve managed to rally the Dem Party to strong support of Israel at a time when many were nervous about the direction the Democrats were taking on Israel. Your hate towards Israel has fueled love of Israel
Thank you @Ilhan, @RepCori, @AOC, and @RashidaTlaib, you’ve managed to rally the @DNC to strong support of Israel at a time when many were nervous about the direction the Democrats were taking on Israel.
Your hate towards Israel has fueled American love of Israel.
Great job!
My newest piece - a report from NY Jewish voters, who seem to be leaning toward Lee Zeldin as the NY Governors' race comes down to the wire! @leemzeldin https://t.co/GaCJ3wdY5s
I know Lee Zeldin personally & believe he could work with pols across the aisle - which is what the US needs! Zeldin Uses Adams as a Surprising Weapon in N.Y. Governor’s Race @leemzeldin https://t.co/llBNZtWoTW
