With regard to "Judeo Christian":
The 10 Commandments are Jewish.
The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish.
The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery.
The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy.
The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West.
This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable.
And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term:
Christ Himself was a Jew.
It was 16 years ago this month that I checked my bank account one Friday afternoon. I had only $6 in it. "How are we going to pay for dinner?" I asked my boyfriend Daniel. "Don't worry," he said. "I know somewhere we can get a free dinner. It's called Chabad."
"What's Chabad?" I asked.
"It's a Jewish organization that hosts Jews for Friday night dinner," Daniel said. "Just don't tell the rabbi you aren't Jewish."
"Sure," I said.
When we walked into that Chabad house on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the rabbi with kind eyes greeted us with a smile. His family welcomed us with open arms. The other people there so nice.
It was at this Chabad house where I experienced joy, love, and community, where I felt something warm in my chest that washed over my entire body, and a thought in my head: "This is God."
I started believing in God again. I asked Daniel if we could do Friday night dinner every week. Judaism answered so many questions I had, and I felt like I was coming home.
I ended up converting to Judaism five years later. Daniel went back and asked that Chabad house rabbi, "Did you know that Kylie wasn't Jewish?"
"Yes," he said, laughing. "It's OK though."
I had never experienced that kind of unconditional kindness before. Chabad and the entire Jewish community continue to amaze me--they love all people, they are willing to help, and they just want to make the world a better place.
I am so glad I joined the Jewish people. Best decision I've ever made.

ME AYUDAS COMPARTIENDO ?
Turkey OCCUPIED Gaza for 400 yrs. Never offered independence.
Turkey MASSACRED 1.5 million Armenian Christians. To this day, never acknowledged the genocide.
Turkey was NEUTRAL & PROFITED from war against greatest evil in human history—German Nazism.
Turkey has OCCUPIED 37% of #Cyprus since 1974.
Turkey has SUPPRESSED aspirations of tens of millions of #Kurds.
And we’re supposed to take morality lessons from @RTErdogan & company?
Give me a break!
It's really important to understand that not only has there been no genocide in Gaza, it's the opposite.
It's actually the most humane, the most precise urban warfare fight the world has ever known. It's a war that was run, for the most part, by lawyers, international law scholars and lawyers called MAGs, military advocate generals, who are deployed in the field with the commanders, thousands of them, and who evaluate every action, every strike.
And unlike here in the United States, where JAG officers give advice to commanders and say, "Hey, this is a precatory piece of advice. You can disregard it if you want," in Israel, the MAG's advice is not precatory. It's a mandatory order that must be followed by the commander.
Every single day in Gaza, strikes on legitimate military targets are canceled, and I've seen this with my own eyes dozens and dozens and dozens of times, because of the risk of collateral consequences to civilians in Gaza. That's the very opposite of genocide.
Think about real genocides in history. When you take the Nazis, for example, who pushed my mother's half-brothers and sisters into the gas chambers, they weren't looking to warn civilians to get out of the killing zone. They weren't looking to cancel strikes, which is to say a gas chamber, because there were too many civilians near the gas chambers. The whole purpose, the whole architecture of a genocidal regime was to push the civilians into the killing zone.
Israel cancels strikes because of a fear of civilian casualties. It employs the most sophisticated civilian warning system the world has ever seen that gets civilians out of the killing zone in the war. Israel then shepherds them to safety, provides them with food purveyors, medical clinics, and the polio vaccine for 98% of the children in Al Mawasi—given for free by the Israeli government and by Israeli doctors to children in Gaza—this is the very opposite of what we would expect if there were a genocide.
What happens when fashion stops hiding the injured body, and starts designing for it?
A fashion school in Tel Aviv worked with Israelis who were injured in the war Hamas started on October 7th to reimagine fashion for accessibility.
I don't think I've ever been so moved by a fashion show 💜🇮🇱
FIFA security tells a Jew to remove his Israeli flag — for his safety.
Whilst allowing the fake Palestinian flag holders to keep theirs — and threaten him.
"I’m just following orders.”
Yes. Where have we heard that before? https://t.co/7EGQgRToyE
The Israeli Air Force, defending its children, women, and citizens, carried out strikes against Islamic regime military bases in western and central Iran a short time ago, destroying key targets. Let's remind President Trump; Prime Minister Menachem Begin in 1982 to Reagan: "Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
