P!nk, who is Jewish, reposted a Jewish org’s complaint about Macklemore ambushing an Ed Sheeran crowd with a Gaza rally. No caption. For that: boycott.
Macklemore is still on the tour. Even after his racist Jew-face outfit. His career is fine. The only career anyone’s trying to end is hers.
That’s the deal on offer to Jewish artists. Stay quiet, keep your seat.
Luckily, P!nk has always been brave enough to speak up, even when it's not popular.
Hannah Einbinder didn’t say a word about Iran, a regime that jails women for showing hair, executes protesters, and funds terror across the region.
But she did choose to wear a bloody red hand pin at the Golden Globes, a symbol associated with the lynching of Israelis in 2000.
Staying silent on Iran while wearing a bloody red hand pin says plenty, and none of it is about peace.
Silence is a choice.
So is symbolism.
Bernard Henri-Levy, in the WSJ: “A genocidal army doesn’t take two years to win a war in a territory the size of Las Vegas.
A genocidal army doesn’t send SMS warnings before firing or facilitate the passage of those trying to escape the strikes.
A genocidal army wouldn’t evacuate, every month, hundreds of Palestinian children suffering from rare diseases or cancer, sending them to hospitals in Abu Dhabi as part of a medical airlift set up right after Oct. 7.
To speak of genocide in Gaza is an offense to common sense, a maneuver to demonize Israel, and an insult to the victims of genocides past and present.”
There should be a resolution in each house of congress calling on Trump to respect the clear intent of the 22nd amendment and stop this talk of a third term! Put EVERY ELECTED REPUBLICAN on the record as for or against our constitutional democracy.
When Hezbollah was starving entire Syrian towns and murdering civilians for Assad, the world was silent.
When Hezbollah was regularly persecuting and attacking Christians in Lebanon, the word was silent.
When Hezbollah stockpiled a hundred thousands rockets from Tehran and put them in residential buildings and towns preparing for a war they wanted, the world was silent.
When Hezbollah started launching daily rocket attacks and displaced hundreds of thousands of Israelis after 10/7, the world was silent.
But when Israel started taking out or blowing the nuts off the group that has been terrorizing the region for decades, suddenly the world is very concerned.
Just once it would be nice if the concern started when the terrorizing was happened instead of when the victims of it started fighting back.
Over the weekend, Bahrain’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa became the first Arab leader to publicly condemn Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
During a keynote address at the @IISS_org’s annual summit, he announced that he "unequivocally condemned" Hamas. He also criticized Israel and the death toll in Gaza and called for peace.
No matter who you are or what you see as the solution, we should all agree that Hamas's attack on October 7 was barbaric and must be condemned unequivocally. If the leader of Bahrain can do it, then everyone else — politicians, students, professors, journalists, world leaders, and anyone in between — should be able to do it too.
Some of us have decided to read text messages sent from the last moments of people’s lives in Israel. Yes, this is disturbing and heartbreaking, but it’s something I have decided to do in hopes it can continue to convey the depth of pain and suffering the Jewish people and the Israeli population are experiencing as we defend our right to exist. #TheLastMessage #HamasisISIS
@AaronChalfin Could it also be that Stuyvesant is over 70% Asian American and Horace Mann isn't, and Asian Americans are demonstrably discriminated against in college admissions?
