Today marks 24 years since Jewish American @WSJ journalist Daniel Pearl z”l was brutally murdered on camera after being kidnaped and tortured by Al Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan. His murderers filmed his execution and broadcast it to the world.
In his final words, Pearl proudly and defiantly declared his Jewish identity: "My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I am Jewish."
The ADL Daniel Pearl Award was established two years later to honor his memory and commitment through his work to build cultural bridges and promote understanding.
May Daniel’s memory forever be a blessing.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI REVOKED THE INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE ALLIANCE (IHRA) WORKING DEFINITION OF ANTISEMITISM.
THIS DEFINITION HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY NEARLY 50 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, AND IS THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED DEFINITION OF ANTISEMITISM.
ZOHRAN ISN’T FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM. HE’S PROMOTING IT.
There’s a good reason the US and dozens of other countries and cities have adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism. When leaders move to revoke it, like what happened today in New York, it should alarm everyone—especially as violence against Jews is dangerously escalating.
🚨 Breaking: Iran's 🇮🇷 IRGC Quds Force commander Gen. Esmail Qaani is confirmed safe in Israel 🇮🇱
It can now be revealed that he was an Israeli asset, providing intelligence that led to elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Hezbollah leaders Nasrallah and Safieddine.
If you read these in your best Yoda impression, you’re doing it right! This May the 4th weekend, NYSDOT is using the Force to promote something truly important: safety on our roads.

All New Yorkers, including Jewish New Yorkers, deserve equal protection under the law. This is especially true in our schools, where every student should be able to learn free of discrimination, violence, and harassment.
The antisemitic agitators at Columbia University & on campuses across the country have gone unchecked for too long.
Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.”
There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.
One of the hardest parts about the past 100 days is realizing just how much people hate Jews. Even if we already knew it intellectually, it’s viscerally different now. The denial of rape, the celebration of death, the justification of our pain - even our most cynical were shocked
@NYCMayorsOffice@NYCMayor@DOEChancellor@UFT you spent millions having teachers set up Google classrooms, let’s use them tomorrow so staff and students feel safe amidst the threat
@LIRR on the 4:41 Farmingdale train at Jamaica pulled in late&short. It’s an old train and there is no air in the front or rear car. It’s too crowded to get a seat in the other cars. When are you going to retire these trains? No direct trains from Brooklyn so we have to suffer.
@LIRR please add more trains from bethpage during rush hour to Brooklyn. The 7:00 no longer stops at Jamaica and the 7:06 is only 10 cars and pulls in packed. The train prior is 6:21, so there is a 45 minute gap of train access during rush hour.
@LIRR It was 6 yesterday. They announced 6 on the platform. It is indeed 8 today. Less people standing than yesterday. All Brooklyn trains should be 10.
