The view I love in Israel.
It is a diverse, pluralistic, rollicking democracy that is by no means perfect but is one of the best countries I know.
Miss it already.
There are real documented concerns about Ben Gvir's prison conditions. @NickKristof and @nytimes had that story.
They buried it under a Euro-Med report that publishes organ theft accusations as fact and has been making the dogs rape claim since June 2024.
Edward Norton says there is a ‘genocide’ in Gaza while accusing ICE of being a “paramilitary” force.
“We see genocide being live-streamed to us. We see American citizens being killed by paramilitary people in our own streets for standing in solidarity with their neighbors.”
🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨
Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets...
When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement...
Who stood with us? Who risked everything?
The Jews.
They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight.
- Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would.
- When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away.
- In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish.
- Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever.
Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized.
That's why I stand with the Jews.
They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us.
So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today:
Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us.
Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together.
Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights.
Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it.
I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱
Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters.

If your country has freedom of religion, but members of one religion need to pay millions on security just to safely gather, then your country does not have freedom of religion.
It’s not just Iran.
It’s Lebanon.
In less than 2 weeks, Israel has killed 570 people and displaced 750,000 — over 10% of the entire country. Residential buildings are being bombed with no warning.
The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Netanyahu’s wars.
