If you believe Palestinians deserve freedom, say it clearly. freedom from Hamas too. Freedom from Iranian-backed terror. Freedom from leaders who use civilians as shields. Compassion cannot be selective…
I keep seeing tweets saying “finally!” Have the humility to realize that there is a lot happening in Israel that you don’t know about if you’re not reading Hebrew. Mainstream Religious Zionist Rabbis have been condemning the violence all year.
Of course the crazies don’t care what normie rabbis think, anyway. So it ends up being more like a “not in my name” statement. But that also has value.
PLO leader Yasser Arafat announced this week that his wife is pregnant.
The happy couple said they really don't care if the child is a boy or girl, just as long as it hates Jews.
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.
I don't mind Hollywood figures opposing the merger and seeing it as a serious threat, but they sound like idiots when they go on to argue, "Pointing out the crucial connections between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Hollywood is the exact opposite of antisemitism.”
Really? Is that where things are right now? People have always blamed Hollywood for a lot of things, but blaming it for the war in Gaza actually does sound kinda antisemitic.
This morning, AIPAC was featured on the @nytimes podcast The Daily. The NYT did not ask us for comment or to verify any of the “facts.” As a result, listeners were subjected to several inaccuracies, omissions, and mischaracterizations about our work and our members. Below are just some of these false claims:
If you can’t fully condemn calls to “globalize the intifada,” you should be prepared to confront the normalizing of that rhetoric. Words inflame, embolden, and lead to violence against Jewish communities.
Leaders must reject hate—clearly, consistently, & without qualification.
Kemi Badenoch, the leader of British opposition party says what many in the UK seem to forget: Israel doesn’t need the UK, but it is thanks to Israel's intelligence that British citizens are saved every day 🇮🇱 🇬🇧
For years, Haim, a Jewish band with family from Israel, refrained from commenting on Israel or antisemitism. Fair enough. I’m of the firm belief that artists don’t need to engage in identity politics/global affairs for clout. But the explosion of antisemitism recently directed at Alana Haim proves that not commenting is not enough and will not save you. You don’t need a commercial for luxury apartments in Herzliya to be a target.
Lyndsey Fifield told ‘The New York Times’ Graham Platner emotionally abused her and became physical multiple times. So why is she under attack? Frannie Block and Audrey Fahlberg report. https://t.co/CX7DpfI0WU
Thankful for @TheFP actually contacting sources I gave NYT and verifying I did, in fact, have friends who knew about Graham’s abuse/corroborated everything.
I never would’ve spoken out if NYT hadn’t convinced me—but even after their betrayal I’m confident I did the right thing.
