The fact that no one is even thinking about going to Persian neighborhoods in America to intimidate or bully local Persians and protest the Iranian government, but they did exactly that in Jewish neighborhoods all around the U.S. because of Israel, tells you everything about their “humanity” and their claim of “just criticizing” Israel.

@shevereshtus I’m being very genuine here because I’ve heard so many different things and I don’t even know what’s true anymore. What would a unit in accordance with Halacha look like? Like is this in terms of Shabbat, kashrut, gender segregation…? Trying to understand

@EliLebowicz One million percent. I work in Jewish education, and yesterday was ACTUALLY the first day of school 😭😭😭

@iiwasinthee212 Truth. My Iraqi grandmother would have been murdered if she hadn’t fled to Israel. HOWEVER, Jews had been in Iraq (Babylonia) WAYYYYY before “Arab” was ever a thing, so “Arab Jews” is not really accurate… but your point stands!

@ChouaIsaac Nothing is his fault, but I too think about this often

@Kurt_Steiner About to teach my middle schoolers how Tenochtitlan “became” Mexico City and how great cities outlast empires ✌🏼✌🏼

[Yafit Fishbach @YafitFR]

@MarcusLuther6 Wow this is fabulous! My middle schoolers would love this

@tweetsricochet It’s how long she’s featured (on average) on TV during football games… and the men get very mad about it!

@CJFerguson1111 @TheFP “Despite evidence never linking viewing to any clear negative effects”

Sir, please read the research 😭

This is my dissertation topic, & there were TOO MANY studies showing the negations effects, so I had to narrow down to potential negative effects on religion in adolescence

@curatorWH This picture immediately launched me back in time 😭😭😭

@Average_NY_Guy I started tearing near the end. Thank you for reminding me why I love being a religious Jew ❤️

[Corey Walker 🇺🇸 @CoreyWriting]

Defending "globalize the intifada" as being about "Palestinian struggle" is like claiming that "the south will rise again" is about "state's rights."

We all know these are dogwhistles, and people who pretend otherwise are revealing their true character.

[Yafit Fishbach @YafitFR]

@JewishWonk Excellent excellent thread

[Yafit Fishbach @YafitFR]

@DebraK36 @KassyAkiva This is crazy. The MOST expensive Jewish school in NYC - the top top head of school doesn’t make that much. In NYC the doe spends about 40k per student. Jewish schools have double the curriculum + a lot more hours per day + more staff… & they are NOT generally charging that.

[Yafit Fishbach @YafitFR]

@BarefootJewess @ShabbosK Wow love this!!

[Yafit Fishbach @YafitFR]

@MrEvanRoss @KassyAkiva maybe 15% of Jews go to Jewish schools… so this is a wierd angle to take
