Capt. Victor Glover is a national treasure. 🛰️
Kerry is the biggest fool and fabricator I’ve ever met.
He says Bibi tried to get Bush to attack Iran.
Small problem.
Bibi wasn’t Prime Minister when Bush was president. Sharon and Olmert were.
Kerry made this up out of whole cloth.
Honestly kudos to @jetblue for catering Kosher for Passover snacks during Passover.
They’re available on request and most people don’t know about them.
Pro tip: I like the cranberry raisin mix more than any other JetBlue snack, even the non-Kosher ones.

I have so much admiration for how strong this woman is.
Arbel was Sexually Assaulted almost every single day by Gazan terrorists for 482 days, they broke her ribs and they starved her.
She tried to commit suicide multiple times.
In the end it was due to seeing people campaign for her released that she managed to stayed strong and survived
Well done to all of those that campaigned for the hostages, you helped her stay strong and helped saved her life!
Shame on everyone that ripped down the posters of the hostages.
The strength of Israeli women honestly
We are ALL with you Arbel.
Here’s how this Super Bowl ad should’ve gone:
We stand tall, we keep building, and we bring light to the world.
Hate against any group is wrong.
Hate against Jews has exploded over the last decade.
Builders channel the hate and resentment from others as FUEL to make us stronger.
We refuse to be Victims.
We are Protagonists in our own lives.
Builders - of all religions, ethnicities, races and nationalities - join to Build a Better World Together.
Builders turn darkness into light

I was part of a group of rabbis who met again yesterday with @ZohranKMamdani. While we were pleased to be able to discuss our concerns with the mayor-elect, those concerns remain. We've never before had a mayor who has expressed this kind of ideological hostility to the very existence of Israel. It is not about policy differences; rather, it is about the denial of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state at all. I continue to worry deeply about the upcoming four years and conveyed to the mayor-elect that anti-Zionist rhetoric and anti-Israel policies will threaten Jewish safety in NYC and will, inevitably, lead to an unproductive and tense relationship with the Jewish community. What Mr. Mamdani says and which policies he pursues is up to him — he will be the mayor — but I emphasized that the Jewish community will energetically oppose any and all anti-Israel rhetoric and action.
@JoshGrahamShow He's the grandmaster of coaches. If he was really upset then he could have said so during a handshake. Take a moment to educate the next generation. Instead he walked off like a diva. Can't deny he's one of the winningest coaches, but hard to argue that he's one of the best...
Four years ago, I gathered all the evidence from an antisemitic attack against a bus full of Jewish teens celebrating Chanukah. I spoke to victims, had Hebrew audio verified and translated by linguistic experts, and presented it to the BBC whose reporters and editors decided to completely invent a falsehood that blamed the Jewish teens.
The BBC fought it all the way. We ended up having to go all the way to the its Executive Complaints Unit and to the broadcast regulator Ofcom who validated our findings. But the damage was done. Lies travel halfway across the world before the truth can get its boots laced and validated by months-long bureaucratic processes of regulatory bodies.
The misinformation ecosystem sustained by institutional bias and failing journalistic standards continues to poison public discourse, fuelling resentment, hatred, antisemitism, and xenophobia.
Even now, BBC lifers are circling the wagons instead of learning from this moment. Much more will need to be done to change this culture. And much more will need to be done at other media outlets too.
This is what we woke up to THE MORNING AFTER @ZohranKMamdani was elected. Swastikas all over Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend — the biggest Jewish school in NYC.
The antisemites are emboldened. This is not a game.
Stay Vigilant.
Please please please make this video of Mamdani go viral. It is DEFCON 1 in NYC. And this is 3 minutes of video of Mamdani at his rawest, most honest, and most vile. It MUST BE SEEN BY EVERYONE ASAP.
This is appalling ignorance by @BillNye. German Jews were some of the most assimilated and secular in Europe. They were university professors and military officers. They didn’t live in shtetls. They were murdered anyway.
And if this is supposed to be advice for today? Most American jews marry non-Jews, so I think they’ve gotten to know their neighbors quite well.
To the man in 2D. Today you were traveling from Orlando to Philly. I don’t know you, but I imagine you saw us somewhere.
I was pushing a stroller, had a diaper bag on my arm and also lugging an oxygen machine for my daughter. We had smiles on our faces as we were headed to see her “friends” at CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia).
We pre- boarded the plane, got cozy in our window seat and made jokes to those around us about having to sit by my yelling-but-happy baby. The flight attendant came over and told me you were waiting to switch seats.
You were giving up your comfortable, first class seat to us.
Not able to hold back tears, I cried my way up the aisle while my daughter Lucy laughed! She felt it in her bones too... real, pure, goodness. I smiled and thanked you as we switched but didn’t get to thank you properly.
Sooo... thank you. Not just for the seat itself but for noticing. For seeing us and realizing that maybe things are not always easy. For deciding you wanted to show a random act of kindness to US.
It reminded me how much good there is in this world. I can’t wait to tell Lucy someday.
In the meantime we will pay it forward. AA 588 passenger in seat 2D, we truly feel inspired by your generosity.
