Jews in NYC: “We account for 60% of hate-crime victims in NYC, and your rhetoric puts a target on our backs.”

Mamdani: Doubles down.

"How could the United States Senate confirm Tulsi Gabbard? How could it confirm Pete Hegseth? How could it confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? How could it confirm Kash Patel? The answer is as depressing as it is obvious because courage has become scarce."

“Last week, after the agreement was reached, Iran attacked Kurdish strongholds. It was a demonstration of resolve: not only will Tehran enjoy the spoils of the war, it will also try to entrench a regional hegemony. It’s doing the same in Lebanon, against Israel.”

[Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee @AJCCEO]

After watching @NYCMayor's recent speech at a political rally, I wanted to offer these thoughts to him.

Mayor Mamdani, referring to fellow New Yorkers as “monsters” is outrageous and dangerous, and the impact of your words extends far beyond politics.

It’s not only about your repeated attacks on Israel and those who support it, now rooted in the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theories of secret control and nefarious agendas. It’s about politics and division. You are doing exactly what you falsely accuse others of doing.

Your accusation, Mr. Mayor? Efforts “to turn us against one another instead of our leaders turning toward the moral change we all know to be necessary.”

But when you use your position to label people you disagree with as monsters - people who live and work and pay taxes in the city you lead, people who loved the Knicks championship parade as much as you did, people who spent yesterday celebrating their fathers and grandfathers - you are turning people against one another.

Your speech wasn’t just about preserving your power. By every measure, it was about growing that power by dividing New Yorkers.

You want to debate ideas? Fine. But when you call people monsters, you’re not debating ideas, you’re dehumanizing the people you disagree with. And when that comes from a mayor, it creates an environment where people hear clearly who is being cast as outside the community, one where they wonder whether they can safely live and speak as themselves.

You say we deserve leaders who lead with hope and not fear. We all agree. But what you did here is the opposite.

No one should have to wonder whether they are safe expressing who they are or what they believe, whether they worship at shul, at a mosque, in a church, a gurudwara, or at a temple.

Contributing to an environment in which people feel that fear is not leadership. It is exactly the kind of division you claim to oppose.

People bang on about “Rothschild this” and “Rothschild that”

Did you know Lionel de Rothschild raised about £600,000 for the Irish famine (roughly £80-£81 million in today’s money) - Queen Victoria raised just £2,000.

And now Ireland has become one of the most antisemitic countries in the West.

You’re welcome Ireland 🇮🇪

This is a fairly long film in terms of what X likes, but it is one of the most important and detailed videos that absolutely everybody should bookmark, watch and share.

This is the most detailed evidence-based film about the Origins of the Palestinian Cause, right from its Nazi roots.

I cannot complement the producer of this film, @rehoov, enough. This is a masterpiece of historical significance.

I hope people like @MOSSADil @marklevinshow @DefiyantlyFree @BillAckman @ACTBrigitte @jihadwatchRS and others may share this to a much wider audience. It is so essential that the truth is seen by everyone, and the lies exposed.

On This Day — June 1, 1967

In case anyone still doubts the genocidal intent of the Arab armies massed on Israel’s borders just days before the Six Day War, the Chairman of the PLO made it crystal clear.

Ahmed Shukairy stated in a Friday sermon in Jerusalem:

“This is a fight for the homeland – it is either us or the Israelis. There is no middle road. The Jews of Palestine will have to leave. We will facilitate their departure to their former homes. Any of the old Palestine Jewish population who survive may stay, but it is my impression that none of them will survive.”

He added:

“We shall destroy Israel and its inhabitants and as for the survivors — if there are any — the boats are ready to deport them.”

This was the official leader of the PLO speaking before Israel had fired a single shot — while the Jewish state was still entirely inside the 1949 armistice lines (the so-called “67 borders”). No “occupation,” no “settlements,” no control over the "West Bank" (then Jordanian) or Gaza (Egyptian).

The actual goal was simple: total destruction of the Jewish state and the extermination or expulsion of its Jews.

Yet today, the same movement and its defenders still pretend the conflict began with the “occupation” that only existed after Israel survived yet another attempt at its annihilation.

BREAKING: Just an hour after Trump said he spoke to Hezbollah and they agreed to stop firing, they launched a massive barrage of rockets at Israel civilians.

Unbelievable. And somehow Israel will still be blamed.

[Saul Sadka @Saul_Sadka]

This was Hamas’s own PR: an 8-year-old hostage begging for her life. But they still won the PR battle, with the full support of Western media. If you are wondering why that is, you don’t know much about Jew-hate.

Unfathomable but real

[Luai Ahmed @JustLuai]

Everyone wants to talk about the Palestinian Nakba but no one wants to talk about the Yemeni Nakba.

Or the Egyptian Nakba.
Or the Syrian Nakba.
Or the Iraqi Nakba.

Or all the other Nakbas that forced almost 1,000,000 Mizrahi Jews out of the Middle East due to persecution, hatred, antisemitism, and genocides.

People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing:

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

52,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria by Islamists.

Not a word from Candace Owens.
Not a word from Tucker Carlson.
Not a word from the international media.
Not a word from the United Nations.

This is a real genocide.

Their silence is deafening.

[🦅 Eagle Wings 🦅 @CRRJA5]

😔 So incredibly sad…
Rest in peace, Melika Azizi (2008 - 2026).
This brave 18-year-old from Masal, Iran, was executed by the Islamic Regime on Nowruz — a time meant for renewal and celebration — under the charge of “Moharebeh” (enmity against God). Her “crime”? Participating in protests and allegedly burning regime symbols during the January 2026 demonstrations.
She was violently arrested, reportedly beaten, and faced a system that silences young voices with death. In court, she refused to stay silent, boldly telling the judge she couldn’t ignore the bloodshed of so many others.
A young life full of potential, stolen away. This is heartbreaking.
We must remember her name. The world needs to see the cruelty of this regime.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

14 years ago today, on March 19, 2012, in Toulouse, France 🇫🇷, a terrorist targeted Ozar Hatorah, a Jewish school.

A rabbi and three children were murdered in cold blood.

Today we remember:

Jonathan Sandler (30)
Arié Sandler (6)
Gabriel Sandler (3)
Miriam Monsonego (8)

People keep saying antisemitism is “just words.”
But antisemitism doesn’t end with words.
It escalates.
And if left unchecked, it becomes deadly.

Trump’s former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis:

“America is becoming predatory. America is unreliable. There’s a sense that we are not a reliable security partner right now…you can’t bring allies on board if they don’t trust you”

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

My colleague & friend Jared Moskowitz was the target of an assassination plot by an armed & dangerous fanatical antisemite who was just sentenced to 25 years in prison. The convergence of antisemitic & racist hate with gun violence is a continuing threat to American democracy. https://t.co/DfpzJ2gf98

Thanks goodness this is on CCTV or nothing might have happened to the mail carrier. At least local police have detained him. Waiting to see if there is now some accountability
