It’s more important than ever for New York to show up in support of Israel.

Tomorrow I’m traveling to Israel for a solidarity mission to meet with diplomatic leaders & communities devastated by the horrific Hamas attacks.

New York will always stand with Israel.

Imagine being a Jewish man or woman living outside of Israel, especially in the Western world (US, UK, Canada), and seeing hundreds of thousands of people — of various ethnicities and around the world — cheering the slaughter of your people in the Jewish homeland. Imagine trying to figure out where the safest place would be for you and your family.

Now, multiply that by 1,000 and you may get a small glimpse of what our Jewish brothers and sisters are experiencing right now.

I have to say something right now because I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t. For years, I spoke up for the people of Palestine and their right to self-determination and to live in peace. For years, nobody cared. For years, Iranians have spoken up against their terrorism and brutality at the hands of the IRGC. For years, nobody cared. For years I had felt we shared the same unnerving struggle, which is the world’s indifference to the loss of our lives. Over the past week, however, I’ve seen something that I’m ashamed to say I had never seen before and I can’t believe what it took for me to see it. When Jews are murdered, the world is not just indifferent. Instead, the world rejoices. It celebrates. This is a type of depravity no people should ever have to endure, especially given the barbaric history of persecution since time immemorial. To the Jewish community, you are my brothers and sisters. I am so sorry that I let you down. I am so sorry that you screamed about it for years and I didn’t hear you. I am so sorry I didn’t stand up with you. I am so sorry I pretended not to see the flagrant and hateful anti-semitism. But my eyes are open and I see you now. I hear you. I’m with you, and I promise to never let you down again.

The world is full of moral complexity.

But the cold-blood murder of civilians and children is simply and purely and absolutely evil.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Israel will long outlive the Islamic Republic of Iran, whose state sponsorship of terrorism stands as the single greatest stumbling block to peace in the Middle East.

Iran and its proxies—Hamas and Hezbollah—will ultimately fail.

Israel and its allies will ultimately prevail.

A new Middle East will ultimately take root in the Abrahamic soil of Israeli-Arab peace and prosperity.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Israel has discovered 40 murdered babies. So far.

The deplorables who cannot bring themselves to condemn the murder of babies as barbaric are revealing themselves to be nothing short of barbaric.

The defenders of baby killers are perpetuating oppression under the guise of liberation and terror under the guise of resistance.

[Madonna @Madonna]

What is Happening in Israel is Devastating.. Watching all of these families and especially children being herded, assaulted and murdered in the streets is Heartbreaking.
Imagine if this was happening to you??
It’s Un-fathomable.
Conflicts can never be resolved with violence. Unfortunately Humanity does not understand this Universal truth. Has Never Understood it. We live in a World Ravaged by Hate.
My heart goes out to Israel. To Families and Homes that have been destroyed. To children who are lost.
To Innocent Victims who have Been Killed.
To All who are Suffering or who will suffer from this conflict.
Im Praying For you. I am aware that this is the work of Hamas and there are many innocent people in Palestine who do not support this terrorist organization. This Tragic attack will only cause more suffering for everyone
Let us all Pray. For Israel. 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 For Peace. 🤍 For The World.

@profgalloway phenomenal! “society’s writing hand rediscovers penmanship…drawing a line is a chance to remind yourself…take a stand now” 💥

[Scott Galloway @profgalloway]

The line on Kanye should have been drawn sooner. Every elected leader, citizen, and CEO must ask themselves, Where is my line? To answer the question: We must first decide there is one.

I’m grateful to be joining our Jewish brothers and sisters in the celebration of Hanukkah—the Festival of Lights. In this season of light, let’s remember that each of us, no matter our age or ability or standing, can be a light. More of my thoughts here:
