Context for Barry Bonds's George Steinbrenner story: George would sometimes work separately from his front office in possible trades/deals, without its knowledge, and if this happened during Bonds's first free agency, the conversation would've occurred at a time Steinbrenner was serving a lifetime ban with MLB, but there was a general assumption George worked around the rules. At that time, however, the Yankees were digging out after Steinbrenner's ugly stewardship of the late '80s, and were not considered a coveted destination by free agents; rather, players and agents often used them for leverage to get better deals from other teams. The previous year, the Yankees had signed another outfielder, Danny Tartabull, who was represented by agent Dennis Gilbert -- who also repped Bonds.

MIssissippi's largest synagogue destroyed in an arson attack on the Sabbath. The fact this isn't the biggest story of the morning, or the day so far, should tell you just how normalized anti-Semitic action is becoming.

The question is often asked whether it's worth going to Selichot late at night, or early in the morning, if it means that one will be very tired, have compromised productivity, learning, etc. I think that's kind of the point - to shake us out of our routine, to knock us out of our default settings, to take us off autopilot, and remove us from our comfort zone.

I spoke to former Israeli hostage Or Levy last week.

He shared everything about his captivity.

I’ve written down everything I remember from our conversation. Please take one minute to read his chilling and terrifying experience.

He told me that in Hamas’ tunnels, he didn’t speak for months—because they warned him that if he spoke, they would kill him.

After so long, he forgot what his own voice sounded like. Sometimes he would cover his face with his shirt and whisper—just to remember how he sounds.

He said you can barely breathe in those tunnels because of the mold.

They were given one single pita bread every two days—often moldy, in different colors. Many times Hamas officers would flaunt their food and taunt them.

The tunnels are only 4–5 feet high, so you can’t stand. They were rarely allowed to use the bathroom and could shower maybe once every 2 months at best (just a small sink rinse).

At one point, Hamas moved him to an even harsher tunnel and chained him to another hostage for eight straight months. They were told that if they were heard speaking to each other, they would be killed.

On October 7th, immediately after kidnapping him, they killed his wife. For an entire year, he did not know whether she was alive or dead. On the day of the hostage deal, the IDF informed him that she had been killed.

On October 7th, when he was kidnapped from the Nova Festival, he said he was more terrified of the “innocent civilians” than of Hamas. Not one civilian tried to help him. On the contrary—they all tried to kill him. Hamas actually had to protect them from the civilians.

From what he experienced, most Palestinians in Gaza want all Jewish people dead.

Don’t be on the wrong side of history.
Israel is not the enemy.
Israel wants peace.

Tonight is yet another night our hostages are chained in mold-infested, five-foot tunnels, starving to death.

Please share this message.

BRING OUR HOSTAGES HOME.

There are entirely too many incorrect stereotypes about funeral directors reinforced by misrepresentations. The reality is most have very animated personalities & when they are outside of funeral home are likely to be having fun, laughing & living it up. #FuneralDirectorFacts

Free all the hostages who have been tortured, starved, raped, beaten and STILL in tunnels in Gaza by Hamas since October 7th, 2023.

Yonatan Samerano's father, requests: SHARE this photo in which UNRWA workers are abducting my son body to Gaza.

Did you hear that the UNRWA terrorist organization is nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? Don't let this madness happen.

An honest conversation between an Arab Israeli cab driver and a Jewish American about to make aliyah to Israel.

Both in their mid-30’s.
Both with similarly sized families.

A truly must read 🧵

No other war in the history of all wars was under such an international microscope, no other army had to behave so polite with their worst enemies, no other nation had to feed the criminals who murdered and kidnapped their owns, no other military men were so indulgent with the savages who raped their women and burned alive their children and parents. No other country was ever more hated and contested for defending itself, no other people, from any country in the world, were more harrased, insulted, punished, sanctioned, lied about, dehumanized by online supporters of terrorism and attacked and bombarded daily by bloody sick terrorists.
No other country had more UN resolutions, no other country under attack by terrorists of all kinds and from all around its borders was ever named a “terrorist state” when defending its citizens. No other set of military proofs about the terrorists’s war crimes was more ignored by WHO and other official bodies. No other really occupied territory- like the North of Cyprus, by Turkey or Crimeea, by Russia…- ever flooded the streets or campuses with such an absurd and lame “activism” for a country they never ever care before October.
No other women, from any nation or religion were more doubted or unsupported like the Israeli women. No other hostages, from any terrorist attack, were more ignored by the public opinion, no other BABY in the world was kidnapped for 6 month now, in which time no UNICEF, no RED CROSS, no AMNESTY…, nobody was even tweeted once about his release….
Welcome to Antisemitism, the new Season. Produced by Iran and the radical islamists from all over the world.

[Elliot Steinmetz @elliotsteinmetz]

We used to wonder how it’s possible people could ignore or deny the #Holocaust.

Now we know.

It’s less than 6 months from #October7 and there are still hostages, yet so many have turned away.

Shame on you.

Many people are wondering about what’s happening on U.S. campuses.

While I can’t speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insider’s view about @Columbia University.
