[יאיר לפיד - Yair Lapid @yairlapid]

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said: “I have never seen killing and destruction like Gaza in all my years as Secretary-General.”

According to even the most critical reports, Guterres, 70,000 people were killed in the war in Gaza, a large proportion of them Hamas terrorists.

During your years as Secretary-General: more than 600,000 people were massacred or starved to death in Ethiopia.

377,000 died in Yemen — that figure appears in reports issued by your own organization.

150,000 were killed in Sudan and 12 million were displaced.

Hundreds of thousands have been buried in Ukraine.

You didn’t see it? They died before your eyes. You simply looked the other way, because the Jews couldn’t be blamed.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU'RE BEING ANTISEMITIC:

Do most Jews tell you you're being antisemitic?

Congratulations. You are antisemitic.

Do you believe they're saying it because they're secretly conspiring to silence you?

Congratulations. You're still antisemitic.

[Ian Haworth @ighaworth]

It’s hilarious that Mamdani’s defense is “my wife is a private citizen, leave her alone,” and not “of course she doesn’t hate Jews, blacks, and gays.”

[David Frum @davidfrum]

It's apparently a newly controversial position, but American Jews should have the right BOTH to support the state of Israel as the redeemed national homeland of the Jewish people AND ALSO not to have their children murdered by depraved gunmen.

[The Persian Jewess @persianjewess]

If you spent the past two weeks screaming about the Iranian school strike but haven’t said a single word against the Hezbollah terrorist who tried to murder 140 Jewish toddlers in a Michigan preschool yesterday…

Then you’re not fooling anyone with your selective outrage.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

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.

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

Six synagogues were targeted in one week across Canada, the U.S., Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands.
Threatened, bombed, set on fire, and rammed with a car.
And we’re still told anti-Zionism has nothing to do with antisemitism.

[Shai Davidai @ShaiDavidai]

When the mayor of New York City hosts a Hamas sympathizer at Gracie Mansion, it sends a message.

When the mayor of New York City appears alongside an anti-Jewish domestic terrorist, it sends a message.

When the mayor of New York City stands by his spouse’s support for the massacre of Jews, it sends a message.

The message is clear: Jews are not welcome in his city.

[Eric Adams @ericadamsfornyc]

We were seconds away from a mass slaughter of Jewish children at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, today.

We got lucky.

Next time we might not.

Antisemitism is being normalized across America by extremists on the left and the right, while too many politicians are too weak, too cynical, or too complicit to speak up.

If the center won’t confront the radicals, the radicals will replace the center.

Enough is enough.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

The Jewish community is in my thoughts right now, and I’m grateful for the armed security forces and law enforcement.

The global scourge of antisemitism is rampant.

The constant criticism targeting Israel and the Jewish community only serves to inflame and accelerate hate.

[Peter Savodnik @petersavodnik]

If you call yourself a progressive, and you’re not even a little excited by the prospect of a woman-hating, gay-hating, Jew-hating neanderthal regime that in no way represents the will of its people being crushed, you’re not actually a progressive.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

During the recent blizzard, Zohran Mamdani’s failure to clear homeless encampments resulted in more civilian deaths than U.S. or Israeli strikes on Iran.

[Casey Babb @DrCaseyBabb]

I can't comment on every single act of antizionism and anti-Jewish hatred, but I must say, what Spike Lee did during the @NBA All-Star Game was one of the more deplorable things I've seen in a long time.

Sadly, though, it was very on-brand for the Palestinian movement. Indeed, Spike didn't wear a Palestinian outfit to celebrate a Palestinian player. Rather, he wore it with the soul-purpose of signalling to the only Jewish player that he isn't welcome. This is the very ethos of Palestinianism. It's not about love, celebration, and a shared future. Instead, it revolves around hatred, demonization, and returning to a past now long gone.

But in my mind, this isn't about Palestinians. It's about a young Jewish man who has spent his entire life mastering his craft, only to have the symbols of his slaughterers visible in the front row of his first All-Star Game. It's absolutely disgusting and I really hope that one day, these despicable acts of bigotry come to an end — it’s got to stop.

[Yoni Leviatan @songsofyoni]

This picture is why @Israel keeps winning against all odds.

We care more about our dead than our enemies care about their living.

You can’t defeat that.

Or the bravery of our soldiers.

[AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @AIPAC]

So-called champions of freedom, democracy, and human rights went quiet as brave Iranian protesters were massacred by the regime.

No rallies. No campus protests. Silence on the airwaves.

Phony warriors.

Total hypocrisy, @BernieSanders @RoKhanna @AOC @ChrisVanHollen @SenWarren.

[Ashley Rindsberg @AshleyRindsberg]

Doctors Without Borders hasn’t bothered to do a single post about 20,000 civilians killed in Iran.

Literally not even one post.

[Rabbi Poupko @RabbiPoupko]

The Persian diaspora at @Yale University was joined by Pro Israel students at Yale in demanding freedom for the Iranian people.

Do you know who showed ZERO solidarity with the 16,500 Iranian civilians brutally murdered by the regime?

The Pro Palestinian groups.

Not one Keffiyeh or Palestinian flag.

[Bennett Arron @BennettArron]

Seeing friends justify antisemitism makes you realise just how easily the Holocaust was allowed to happen.

[Debra Lea @thedebralea]

If you posted nonstop about Gaza but haven’t posted anything about Iran, you’re not an activist. You just hate Jews. But we already knew this.

[Patricia Heaton @PatriciaHeaton]

The blatant hypocrisy surrounding the thousands who spoke out nonstop about Gaza but have said not a word about Iran is astounding. Actors and celebrities, university students and professors, major news networks, government administrations from every country regularly spewed lies and propaganda after Israel was attacked, supposedly in support of an oppressed people. Yet here we have Iranians being slaughtered by the thousands under a corrupt, despotic, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-western Islamic regime, and their silence is deafening. How have they become so psychologically beholden to Islam?
