55 million views in 12 hours. New York City has 8.5 million people.
Tonight begins Tisha B’Av, the day the Jewish calendar sets aside for mourning the destruction of both Temples and two thousand years of catastrophes that gathered around the same date. The rabbis taught that the Second Temple fell to sinat chinam, baseless hatred. Slander did what armies couldn’t.
I don’t believe Mamdani consulted a Jewish calendar before posting his video. The timing is likely coincidence. But the fast lands differently this year.
Because here’s what most of those 55 million viewers never saw: at the 1:40 mark of a 2:13 video, the mayor admits he cannot do the thing he promised. The accusation opens the video. The retreat is buried at the end, where the retention graph says almost no one is left watching.
Jews keep a national day of mourning because we have long experience with accusations that travel faster than any correction can. Fifty-five million views in twelve hours is the largest audience such an accusation has ever found this quickly.
The day exists because accusations like this one have never, in our history, stayed on the page.

The world said “never again” in 1945, and then it happened again.
So the world at first said “never again”, again, on Oct 7, and then it happened yet again.
So we no longer care what a single person anywhere in the world has to say to us anymore.
We will make sure it never ever happens again.
Do you see this, Zohran Mamdani? This is Evyatar David, starving to death, minutes before being forced to dig his own grave in a terror tunnel in Gaza.
The well-fed hand offering him "food" belongs to a Gazan Hamas terrorist.
The only people deliberately starved in Gaza were the Israeli hostages.
Zohran Mamdani says Israel "targeted hospitals" in Gaza.
This is the European Hospital in Gaza, where the IDF says it found a massive underground terror tunnel belonging to Hamas.
Has Mamdani condemned Hamas for using hospitals as terror bases?
BREAKING: It is now confirmed that the men who were presented to the world as football players killed by Israel were actually top terrorists in Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization.
I want to show you a terror attack the global media won’t show you.
This is the terrorist arson attack on the Jewish community of Havat Gilad in Samaria last Saturday. 24 homes were damaged, 13 of them burned to the ground. Residents suffering from smoke inhalation were evacuated.
Two Palestinian Authority officers were arrested on suspicion of carrying out the attack.
This is the reality we live with alongside these damn terrorists.
Canada has spent $500+ MILLION DOLLARS on "Palestine."
Can anyone think of any better ways Canada could've spent it?
Because I'm pretty sure $500M buys a lot of water bombers and slightly less post-apocalyptic cities.
Good Shabbos

Naturally, we think of the Jewish people as a conglomerate of many Jews. But the Baal Shem Tov saw the Jewish people as a single, indivisible whole.
Think of a geometrical point. A point is indivisible, but not because it is too hard, too big, or too small to cut up. A point simply has no area to be divided. That’s what makes it a point.
And yet, from a point you can extend infinite lines radiating in infinite dimensions.
In a somewhat similar way, but far beyond, all Jews are one Jew. Which means that in any one Jew, you will find all of us—just from a different angle.
So that whatever happens to any one of us instantaneously happens to the entire Jewish people. Not by some ripple effect or resonance. But because any one sample of the whole is the whole and the whole is one.
And so, the Baal Shem Tov taught, when the light of any one Jewish soul breaks free, the entire nation is redeemed along with it.
And accordingly, the Rebbe wrote, the ultimate exodus of our entire people is also a personal, intimate liberation for every Jew.

The people blaming Israel for situation in the Middle East need to stop talking about Israel and start focusing on the Iranian regime.
They are the ones trying to kill Americans on American soil.
🚨 Gazans who now live in Antwerp, Belgium spoke with Israeli news N12.
One said Gaza should be ruled by Israel, not the PA or Hamas and that civilians uninvolved in terrorism should be allowed to cross to safety while Israel finishes off Hamas.
Another claimed that the Hamas commander who once interrogated him now lives comfortably in Belgium, holds Belgian citizenship, and continues raising money for Hamas from Europe.
The antisemitism we've seen on college campuses over the past three years is directly related to the anti-Israel hatred animating the DSA. The rapid takeover the Democratic Party by these radicals is deeply worrying.
