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.
Total collapse at russia's Sochi airport. Thousands of passengers have been stuck there ever since Friday's drone attack.
What’s the matter? Is your own little war getting in the way of your travel plans? 😏
Meet Kaylynn Dang, a DoorDash driver in Michigan. In a video she posted, Dang is seen laughing while announcing that the customers will not be receiving their delivery after spotting an Israeli flag in their front yard.
Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Senator Bill Cassidy just personally blamed Donald Trump for the rise in healthcare costs in our country. Woah.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
11, 12, and 14 years old.
Raped for days by more than 20 Pakistani immigrants.
Tortured—one had her tongue nailed to the wall to keep her still while they raped her.
The police ridiculed, insulted, and ignored them.
The feminists turned the other way.
If it hadn't been for Elon Musk, who publicly shared the trial testimonies, sparking outrage from Reform UK and internal investigations, no one would have known anything.
You're not angry enough.

Egyptian Copt Christian explains how Egypt became Muslim:
“We are one of the first Christians in the world. Islam took over by the sword. They killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children.
Egypt went from 0% to 90% Muslim. It’s a cult of sex, perversion and violence.”
