I was born in the United States.

My parents were born in the United States.

Two of my grandparents were born in the United States more than 100 years ago. Neither of the other two were born in Israel.

I never even visited Israel until I was in my 30s.

Hasan Piker is the child of two Turkish Muslims who engaged in birth tourism so he could become “American,��� after which he was immediately taken to Turkey and spent his entire childhood.

Piker said “America deserved 9/11.”

“KiII the motherf*ckers. Let the streets soak in their red, capitalist bIood!"

“If you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill @SenRickScott”

He has campaigned alongside Representatives @RepSummerLee @RoKhanna @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib @ZohranKMamdani @AOC and @BernieSanders

This is the Democrat Party today.

People ask my all the time where I get my ideas and arguments from

I read @jordanbpeterson
I watch @benshapiro
I listen to @DennisPrager

Those three are by far the most effective, wise, intelligent, and impactful thinkers of our time!

Groundbreaking New Study Finds Islamophobia May Be Partially Caused By Muslims Killing People All The Time https://t.co/m47fiHMLPA

[Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine]

Bring it.

I will not sacrifice America on the altar of suicidal empathy.

Islamophobia is lie.

Because fear of Islam is rational.

[Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine]

A Muslim immigrant burning holocaust survivors alive in Colorado wasn’t enough.

A Muslim immigrant executing National Guardsmen in Washington wasn’t enough.

Muslim immigrants attacking and killing non-Muslims in Australia wasn’t enough.

9/11 wasn’t enough.

October 7th wasn’t enough.

Now the @FBI has announced they have arrested five Muslim terrorists who were planning Muslim terror attacks on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

This has to stop.

Diversity is not our strength. Diversity has become suicidal.

It is time for a Muslim travel ban, radical deportations of all mainstream Muslim legal and illegal immigrants, and citizenship revocations wherever possible.

Mainstream Muslims have declared war on us. The least we can do is kick them the hell out of America.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

No to the groypers.
No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash.
No to those who champion them. 
No to demoralization.
No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit.
No to anti-Americanism.
No.

Dozens of IAF jets completed the first stage that included strikes on dozens of military targets, including nuclear targets in different areas of Iran.

Today, Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon. Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the State of Israel and to the wider world.

The State of Israel has no choice but to fulfill the obligation to act in defense of its citizens and will continue to do so everywhere it is required to do so, as we have done in the past.

Your empire is nothing but a museum. A backdrop for Instagram selfies.

Your Senate is gone. Your legions are dust. Your pagan gods are long dead and forgotten. Your language nearly extinct. Your glorified plumbing projects lie in ruins. Your empire collapsed. All that remains is some cool TikTok edits and replica helmets sold to bored tourists.

The Jewish people live on. Our one and only God reigns. Our language is still in use. Our Torah is still strong.

King David's descendants still pray in Hebrew, serve the same God, and observe the same Torah as he did. Caesar's descendants eat pasta.

We outlived you. We outthought you. We outlasted you.

Sit down.

[Emily Damari @EmilyDamari1]

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,

My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.

On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.

This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.

You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.

Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.

This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

By the way, @lufthansa in case you wanted to know exactly who to investigate.

Here are the two gate agents who went around ONLY asking visibly Jewish passengers to check their bags & the older gentleman is the supervisor who demanded all photos be deleted.

Thankfully, deleted photos can be recovered, and the Czech Republic is a free democracy where people can take photos when they are being discriminated against...

Lufthansa Accused Of Antisemitism, Again!

Last year, the @USDOT released part of their 653 page report on a story we broke back in 2022. They found @lufthansa discriminated on the basis of religion and engaged in unfair business practices.

I spoke with multiple passengers today, who allege they, too, were unfairly targeted by Lufthansa in Prague.

In the end, Lufthansa allegedly went around the boarding area targeting only visibly Jewish passengers, while ignoring all other passengers present.

If you want Lufthansa to stop with this despicable behavior, like, comment, and share this tweet.

IDF RESERVISTS DEMAND TOTALY VICTORY: The "Reservists of the Victory Generation" movement, which represents thousands of IDF reserve officers ahead of the start of the new ground operation in Gaza released the following message.

"In the next 48 hours, thousands of members of the movement will receive an 8th order for another combat round. We will report for any mission. At the same time, we will not agree to another one of the Israeli government's endless round strategy, without a decision and without the complete destruction of the terrorist organizations and without vigorous and genuine action to evacuate all residents of the Gaza Strip in the spirit of the Trump plan. We will not agree to occupy areas that we have occupied 4 and 5 times together with our friends who are no longer with us, and who have returned to our enemy again and again and again - to no avail."

"We demand that the Minister of Defense and the members of the Cabinet embark on a final and decisive round under the sign of an immigration-oriented maneuver, a phrase that we already planted many months ago in the military agenda. After hundreds of days of reserve duty in Gaza, Lebanon and Judea and Samaria, after risking our lives and experiencing many losses on the battlefield, we will not accept failure. Decision and migration, now. After a year and a half, too late, let the IDF truly win."

[Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone @Mottel]

Deeply disappointed in your words congressman.
That you couldn't be bothered to condemn the people who marched on my neighborhood on Thursday, and are doing so again, with openly genocidal chants ("we don't want two states, we want 48") and justification of violence ("when people are occupied, resistance is justified") - the very least would be even a pittance of concern... especially as this post comes NOW, not when any right-wing Ben Gvir supporters are on the streets, but when Antisemites that are EXPLICITLY casting all Chasidic Jews in Crown Heights as landlords complicit in the "occupation" of Brooklyn is beyond the pale.

In truth this isn't something no... It's part of the critical and total lack of empathy on the part of not just you, congressman, but those who act in tandem, such as @NYJewishAgenda (@phylisajoy) ... It's part of a systemic and repugnant desire to dehumanize Jews in Brooklyn that look different... The same indifference that allowed the rioters in 1991 to pogrom on the streets of Crown Heights...

Due better. Give a damn about us.

[AP @Average_NY_Guy]

Did you ever notice how Orthodox Jews couldn���t care less what the world thinks of them?

Not a little. Not secretly.
They truly, completely, deeply don’t care.

They’ll walk through an airport looking like they time-traveled out of 1850.
Pray out loud in a hoodie or a hat while people whisper.
The men grow beards, wear hats, let their tzitzit hang out.
The women cover their hair with wigs, scarves, hats (depending on your heritage)—like queens from another world.
And they’ll show up to your office two days late because it was a holiday no one’s ever heard of.

And they won’t apologize.

Because you can’t even imagine what their life is.

You can’t imagine what it’s like to disappear from the world—fully—every single week.
Shabbat comes in and they’re gone. Just gone.
No phone, emails, group chats, news, and no chaos.
You could be calling them a hundred times. The world could be in flames. They won’t pick up.
And they wouldn’t even know.
And honestly? They don’t even care.

While the world is busy arguing over the next divisive topic, they’re sitting around the table with their eight kids. Singing 1,000-years-old songs.
Wearing their nicest clothes for no one but each other.
Eating and talking about the weekly Torah parsha or the current holiday, Walking to shul in the rain without an umbrella—because it’s muktzah (forbidden to carry or touch).

It’s not just that they are screen-free or tech-free.
They are world-free.

And it doesn’t stop there.

You can’t imagine what it’s like to live on a calendar that makes no sense to anyone else.
To be out of office when no one else is.
To fast for 25 hours on a random Tuesday in July or September.
To miss concerts, meetings, deals—because it’s Pesach, Sukkot, Purim, or Tisha B’Av.
To need kosher food and say no to 98% of restaurants—not because you’re picky, but because there’s a God, and He is watching.

You might think they’re disconnected from the world.

Maybe.
But somehow, many of them still manage to own buildings, run multimillion-dollar companies, donate billions to charity, raise big families, live rich lives.
They vanish for Shabbat, disappear for holidays, leave early Fridays—and yet they’re still there at the top.
Still getting it done.

How?

Because when you live with clarity, you waste less time chasing noise.
Because when your values are ancient, you’re not shaken by what’s trending—because your values were already tested, again and again, and they won.
Because when you know who you are, you don’t need to keep proving it.

They don’t care what people think—
Not because they’re rude or arrogant.
But because they already have something better than approval: conviction.

Their compass doesn’t point to likes or clicks.
It points to Sinai.
And once you’ve stood at Sinai—even in memory—you just see the world differently.

So yeah, they’re not ashamed.
Not of their prayers.
Not of their outfits.
Not of the way they live.
Not of the rules that guide them.

They’re not trying to be different.
They’re trying to stay loyal.
To something eternal.

In a world obsessed with changing,
they’re holding on.

And that kind of confidence—that kind of freedom—

You can’t buy it.
You can’t fake it.
You can’t even imagine it.

But they live it. Every day. Proudly. Openly.
And they wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Shout out to @chabad, I’m traveling for work so I’m so sorry I missed yall!

They sent someone at least 45 minutes out into rural South Carolina to hand deliver Passover matzah, even though I’m not a member (and it’s possible I haven’t gone in over a year 😅) I’m the only Jew in the little town I live in and they’re the only Jewish organization who has ever reached out or even knows I exist 😂

Incredibly impressive as always. Makes me want to go to services more often 🙏

This isn't how I wanted to spend my Friday morning, but I just came across one of the most incomprehensible articles I've ever seen.

It is astonishing in its stupidity and deliberate in its manipulation.

I refuse to let it slide.
