Jews were accused in pre holocaust Europe of being a drain on public resources, of being a vector for disease, and having offensive dietary practices. The stuff you said about Haitian Americans is a lie and Americans are in danger now.

Hamas killed a 23 year old with a banner in his room saying Jerusalem is everyone's. They killed an 80 year old man who used to drive sick Gazans for treatment in Israel hospitals. They killed an 82 year old lady who advocated for peace all her life. This will never be resistance

Why does former President Trump feel the need to specifically call out that Governor Josh Shapiro is Jewish?

Why does he feel compelled to falsely tell the world that Gov Shapiro "has done nothing for Israel?"

This election should be about issues, not identity.

The campaign should be about debating policy not invoking prejudices. https://t.co/lqCBHSGv0t

Lets talk about these pictures of JD Vance, some of the bad takes about the pictures, and why SOME takes to attack Vance are rubbing many the wrong way who find his policies towards LGBTQ+ people cruel.

Devastating images from Gaza today. Reports of civilians who were killed as twenty Hamas terrorists were hiding within a school complex, using the school and mosque as a shield for their violent activities.

We don’t know the actual number of casualties as Hamas lied before (saying that as many as 600 people died and then international intelligence determined it was actually 12) so we must be cautious with spreading Hamas’ numbers.

The media, however, did not wait and rushed to condemn the IDF's counteroffensive on the Hamas complex in Gaza. But no one will ask the only question that matters: why Hamas used this school as a military base in the first place?

These twenty militants intentionally sacrificed civilians, as it is their strategy to maximize suffering.

Palestinians deserve better than Hamas’ reign of terror.

I want this war to end, I want peace for every innocent living in this land. There’s no rational answer to “what is proportionate” response to the holding of a baby and 115 other innocent hostages in captivity. If it was my son, I’d want my country to do anything to release them.

All I know is that we need the violence to end, and Hamas is the only one that can do it.

[Noa Tishby @noatishby]

Okay, so let’s talk about the tragic incident that left dozens of Palestinians dead in Rafah over the weekend, and the firestorm on social media that followed.

On Sunday, the IDF located and targeted two Hamas leaders. They were in a Hamas compound a mile away from the humanitarian zone that was created to keep Palestinian civilians safe. There was another unauthorized camp 200 yards away from the compound. Israel launched a precision airstrike targeting only the terrorist leaders, in accordance with international law.

Shortly after the strike, a secondary explosion was heard and a fire erupted near the compound. It is believed that this was caused by Hamas weapons that were stored near the compound. Israel’s strike alone could not have caused this level of damage and destruction. Palestinian eye witnesses also reported that the secondary explosion and fire were caused by Hamas’s weapons.

But, of course media outlets social media activists and celebrities around the world who never heard of Rafah in their lives, were quick to blame Israel for these horrible deaths. Insinuating that Israel did this on purpose. So here is the useful information for everyone. Hamas is hiding among Palestinian civilians and all eyes should be on Hamas. So to everyone posting “All Eyes on Rafah”, without knowing any of what actually happened, I suggest you actually open up your eyes and realize, once and for all, that you are being played by Jihadi terrorist propaganda that is not just causing the death of Israelis and Palestinians, but is coming for you too.

One of the saddest & scariest things about the anti-Zionist "encampments" happening on university campuses is that so many of the students participating in this initiative don’t even know what they’re protesting. It’s pure virtue signaling. It's disingenuous & it's hypocritical.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The leader of Hamas says that when they say From the River to the Sea they mean genocide, no place for any Jewish state to exist.

Glad we can clarify what the chant means. Next.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Denying the atrocities Jews faced in the Arab world should be treated the same as denying any other history of oppression.

You don’t get to deny the mass murder, rape, and crimes against humanity we experienced because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility - a day to recognize trans people and raise awareness about the discrimination they face. Today we honor Lily and her mom Mindy for their activism and leadership. Thank you for making the world a better place for all of us!

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Too cowardly and unable to engage in conventional warfare, Hamas relies on killing, raping, mutilating, and abducting civilians. Senior Hamas leaders must be brought to justice or eliminated.

Bring every hostage back home. NOW.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

It seems like many are confused about what Zionism is.

Zionism is simply the belief that Jews should have their own nation, self-governance, and self-determination in their indigenous homeland, Israel.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s not your fault you don’t know what Zionism truly means, the word has been misused and rebranded by antisemites to make their hatred to Jews and the Jewish state “kosher”.

Don’t fall for it.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Jews are tired of fighting for the right to live.

We are tired of beseeching the world for the legitimacy to have our own homeland.

We are tired of being held to a different standard, which is then weaponized against us.

We are tired of people refusing to listen when we define the hate that we are victims of.

We are tired of being constantly threatened, exiled, discriminated against, scapegoated, blamed, murdered.

We have had enough.

We will stand up for ourselves because no one will do it for us.

We will stop waiting for the world to change because the world has always hated Jews.

We will fight for our country because we recognize it is the only place we can be safe.

We will define our movements, our identity, and our self-empowerment; no one else.

We will love our Judaism, our culture, our people, and our homeland because only we can make them better through that love.

This is what it means to be a Jew.

Kudos to Ohio Governor DeWine (Republican) for vetoing legislation that would have prohibited transgender youth from accessing gender affirming care. If you’re going to argue in favor of “parents’ rights,” you cannot selectively choose which parents and which kids to protect.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Governor Mike DeWine's full veto statement on today's gender affirming care ban can be seen here:

"Many parents have told me that their child would be dead today if they had not received the treatment they received from an Ohio children’s hospital."

[mindy freeman @FreemanMindy]

@dinachka82 Completely agree! Feeling sad, angry, disappointed, perplexed (so many feels) in what I’ve been witnessing.

I sat down with @chelseahandler to discuss being pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, and anti-Hamas.
