You don’t need to be #Jewish to stand with @Israel.

You just need to be human 🙏🇮🇱💙

Simple questions:

Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not 40-60 million freedom-seeking #Kurds?

Why are there endless marches & protests for Palestinians, but not Kurds?

Why is the UN obsessed with Palestinians, but doesn't give a damn about Kurds?

Tomorrow is Israel Day on Fifth, the biggest Jewish celebration in NYC, themed “Proud Americans. Proud Zionists”.

Jews and non-Jews alike, we will march in the tens of thousands to show our love for the U.S. and the one and only Jewish State - in New York, home to the largest Jewish community outside of Israel.

And we will miss no one there.

“It is the mayor’s decision not to march and it is my decision to march proudly.”

A MESSAGE TO MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS:

[Shahar Azani @ShaharAzani]

@mahmoudkhalel Go away

[Shahar Azani @ShaharAzani]

@CounsellingSam Because it NEVER happened.

[Victoria Coates @VictoriaCoates]

Honest question: why does Khalil want so badly to stay in a place he believed to be complicit in genocide? It’s just bizarre.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Perhaps some British don't like the Muslims who say they are going to take over Britain

Apparently people who don't like that are 'far' right

But it sounds pretty sensible to me

I don't want British values to be replaced by child marriage, clitoral surgery, beating wives and stoning adulteresses

Call me old-fashioned...

[Shahar Azani @ShaharAzani]

@AssalRad Because its a disgusting lie. Simple. Here, I solved it for you.

"Stories harmful to Israel—false claims that Israel caused a famine as a weapon of war, or that an Israeli air strike destroyed a Gazan hospital—are reported credulously and corrected slowly, if at all. Stories that discredit Israel’s enemies, such as about Hamas’s crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, are reported grudgingly, if at all." https://t.co/udG0ag6Zg7

We demand an explanation from the Spanish government regarding its treatment of the flotilla anarchists

As a historian, I can tell you that societies that allow Jews to thrive are societies in history that are flourishing themselves.

Look at America. It is the center of the most influential, the wealthiest, the most powerful Jewish community that has ever existed in the world, and it is no surprise it is also the most powerful, the most influential, and the wealthiest force for good the world has ever had. We are privileged to live here.

But on the other hand, societies that allow themselves to be taken over by Jew hatred are societies that are sick and dying. Look at the Russia of Kishinev in 1903, the worst pogrom of the 20th century before the Holocaust. It was the biggest country in the world at that time.

It had existed for hundreds of years. 14 years later, it was gone.

Look at the Germany of Kristallnacht in 1938, the most powerful army, the most powerful air force. It was supposed to be the thousand-year Reich. Just seven years later, it was dead.

So not because I'm a Jew, but because I am an American who came here from Venezuela with nothing, knowing no one, and who was embraced by this community and this country with open arms, which has given me and my family every blessing and privilege under the sun, I understand that we, each of us, Jew and not Jew alike, have a moral and practical obligation to root out anti-Semitism in our society because it is the moral rot in the wooden framework of our house.

If we are not careful, it will bring the entire edifice tumbling down on all of us, not just the Jews.

Dana W. White is a wonderful friend. But more than she is a friend, she is a leader. she dares speaks truth to power, stand up to the hate mob and carry on her grandfather’s legacy of Black-Jewish alliance for good.

She and I wrote this opinion piece (link below and in first comment) not just out of our love for our communities, but for our love of AMERICA. We must all come together to defend what we hold dear and cherish. For our future. For our children:

“But it’s not only up to the government to fight this disease. More needs and must be done by us, the “ordinary people.” Not just by passive remembrance, but by taking action. It is time to stop the smears. It is time to reject the “woke” wedge being driven between Blacks and Jews, and between America and its Jewish community. It is time for the silent majority to cry out and make a stand — politically and publicly. If we allow these suspicion-laden tropes to win, the only victors will be the extremists who want to see America divided.”

@zarahsultana Throw your cellphone while you’re at it.

These violent hooligans are invading peaceful Jewish neighborhoods to threaten and intimidate.

They do not scare us. We are not Jews with trembling knees and what might have been shall be no more.

My office is aware of a planned "protest" this evening in the 24th Assembly District targeting the Young Israel of Jamaica Estates. I have been in contact with the @NYPD107Pct who will be deploying officers to keep the community safe.

I love America. Do you?

A radical professor at U Michigan decides to align himself with the lynch mob and virtue signal to those who hate Israel and America. It’s ok to criticize Israel’s policies and government - in Israel it’s a national sport - but it’s not ok to lie and incite. This professor’s selective “conscience” goes where Jew-haters go.

In New York a vile mob frantically clashed with the NYPD trying to breach a synagogue and a daycare. They did not “criticize” policy, but called for violence (“intifada”) and the eradication of the one and only Jewish State.   

May is Jewish American Heritage Month. It’s a perfect moment to remember, and be reminded of, what America is all about. In his letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790, President George Washington proclaimed that the United States “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”

Hatred of Jews is never only about Jews.
As Bari Weiss says, rising antisemitism is not merely a prejudice against Jews, but a “canary in the coal mine” signaling a structural decay of society and the erosion of our civilization.

This rogue mob hates “the Jews” and hates America.

It’s up to us, the peaceful yet all too silent majority, to wake up from our slumber and stand up for what we believe in. Make our voices heard - on the street, in the media, during elections and political campaigns - and do so for our families, our children, our future.

I love America. Do you?
