Tamara Lich’s husband just said he believed protesting was one of his First Amendment rights. Justice replies “What First Amendment rights?” 👏🏻👏🏻

Newsflash for the media:

Hostages like Hersh Goldberg Polin did not just “die.” They were murdered by Hamas.

Hostages like Noa Argamani were not just “released.” They were rescued by Israel.

The rockets did not just “land” on Druze children and civilians. They were fired by Hezbollah.

Words matter because the truth matters.

📢📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT📢📢

@Columbia has opened an investigation into my advocacy for the Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff at the university.

This is a clear act of retaliation and an attempt to silence me.

If you want to know more, read my statement below

You’re tired of hearing about antisemitism. We’re tired of living it.

Former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Abella on the genocide case against Israel:
“As a lawyer, I find it shameful; as a Jew, I find it heartbreaking; and as the child of Holocaust survivors, I find it unconscionable.”

I am sick & tired of this BS being pushed by these ill-informed antisemites.

🇮🇱 has mandatory military service, literally everyone has to serve with few exceptions.

Contrast that with 🇨🇦 where we don’t have mandatory service. Those of us who wear the uniform volunteer to serve.

Servicewomen or not, to wish death on anyone is beyond the pale. Never mind all of the falsehoods that continue to be perpetuated by people who no longer care to pretend that this hasn’t always been about one thing: hating Jews.

Release them and all the hostages now immediately and unconditionally, so that the path to a just & durable peace in the Middle East can be possible.

[Ben M Freeman - בן מ פרימן @BenMFreeman]

Israel is the only country to be brutally attacked and then, when it defends itself, be dragged before the international criminal courts accused of the crime it experienced, genocide.

A stain on the humanity of the international community.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

I have been accused of being “one-sided.”

I feel no need to be balanced between Israel and Hamas.

One is a democratic ally of the US.
The other is a genocidal terrorist organization oppressing both Israelis and Palestinians.

Better to be right than to be balanced.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

.@ICRCPresident Which of your Red Cross officials told the family of a female hostage held by Hamas in Gaza not to worry about their daughter's need for daily medication, and to worry about Gazans instead?

Harvard - another student has been identified participating in the antisemitic mob caught harassing a Jewish pupil in this now viral clip.

Meet Harvard Divinity School student Elom Tettey-Tamaklo. Tettey-Tamaklo graduated from Haverford College with a concentration in political science and African studies.

He is the recipient of the prestigious Clementine Cope Fellowship, a 124 year old fund that helps support graduate studies for Haverford Alumni.

Quebec so far this week:

• Synagogue firebombed

• Imam says Jews should be exterminated

• Pro-Palestinian screams "kike" at Jewish student

• Professor calls Jewish student "a whore," says go back to Poland

• Two Jewish schools hit with gunfire

And it's only Thursday.

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

Today at McGill University, the pro-Hamas students held a rally where they cheered over “terrifying” Jewish students and pledged to continue to harass Jews “until they give up.”

Bad news for her? We don’t give in to bullying and terrorist threats.

Don’t believe us? F*** around and find out…

I told the Congress: “The UN misrepresents basic facts, falsely accusing Israel of bombing a hospital when it was Islamic Jihad; falsely terms Israel’s legitimate self-defence as ‘collective punishment’; and creates a false moral equivalence between self-defence and terrorism.”

[Michael Levitt 🇨🇦🎗️ @LevittMichael]

It’s tragic that it came to this but the firebombing of a Jewish community centre and synagogue in Montreal must send a clear message to our country’s leaders. Antisemitism is real! The threats against Canadian Jews are real! For God’s sake, take action now before someone dies.

[Shayan Sardarizadeh @Shayan86]

Be highly suspicious of anyone that confidently tweets the exact cause of a deadly incident in a war zone within minutes of it happening.

It takes time to investigate such incidents. And sometimes, it might never be possible to determine what exactly happened.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Israel dismantled all settlements in Gaza 18 years ago. Every single Jew left. They even took the extraordinary step of disinterring bodies from cemeteries.

Hamas responded with terrorism, which is how they've responded every single time Israel has offered peace.
