@HeerJeet you’re mispronouncing Harris’ name on WNYC right now. It’s KAmala (like comma), not KaMAla

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@OnyishiPaschal Yes, keep struggling and being poor never giving up on your big break until you die!

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@JesseBWatters “She’s sharing links.” LOL the horror

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@Travis_in_Flint Yes.

@nadiaaakd @Khaledhzakariah Israel has offered two-state deals but has consistently undercut them with settlement expansion.

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@YuvalDavid It’s painful.

@PeterBeinart @RashidaTlaib Please explain what "From the river to the Sea" means and if this phrase should be mainstreamed. Her censure was not about calling for a ceasefire. It was about excusing Oct 7 as resistance and coding for dissolving Israel.

@anarvirji This is much, much better than ripping down posters.

@jggross @livia_ar "Since she wrote her profile last fall, Ms. Li said she had gone on about 15 first dates with men who reached out after reading it." But how did these men find her profile? Other than the BK guy with the (paltry) database, I was really unclear on how ppl find these.

@NfiniteJustice @SenSanders Wait, why did the map change after the UN plan? Oh right, because the Arabs rejected it, not Israel.

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@jakeshieldsajj @YoniMichanie “From the river to the sea” is code for dismantling Israel and kicking out the Jews.

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@Rawaak @YoniMichanie “Hundreds of Jewish” lol

@BrianLehrer @SmithInAmerica @CrisisGroup @krystafauria @WNYC Brian, you really didn't challenge Tahani's outrageous claim that Hamas didn't intend to kill or take hostages, that bad actors who infiltrated the "liberation operation" perpetrated violence and that Hamas condemned it? Seriously?

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@TonyKaron Hmm why is there constant bombardment? Because Gaza is ruled by a terror organization whose aim is to wipe Israel from the map and kills Israelis every chance it gets. If it were ruled by a peaceful entity, there wouldn’t be a blockade or these attacks.

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@EliClifton Oh yeah, rampaging through the streets and kidnapping kids and the elderly is really the moment to talk about solidarity with Hamas.

[Prof. Jeffrey Lax @CUNY_Prof]

With immense relief, I would like to share some huge news with my incredible friends and supporters:

Nearly one year ago --and to my utter shock-- CUNY placed me under investigation for having the temerity to file an antisemitism complaint that, in small part, connected to BDS activists being put in charge of hiring antisemitism DEI officers on my campus.

CUNY hired an outside investigative firm who completed their findings nearly 8 months ago. CUNY repeatedly refused to turn over the investigation's findings to me.

Today, however, I finally received the below letter, completely exonerating me of all charges in what was a despicably retaliatory investigation that should have never been commenced to begin with.

No one, of any protected class, should EVER be persecuted and subjected to something like this for simply standing up for their rights and pursuing legitimate claims of discrimination.

I did nothing wrong. All I did was stand up to antisemitism. For doing so, I was subject to a deeply stressful and retaliatory investigation and then was deprived of even being told of my exoneration for all these many months. CUNY has known that I was cleared of all charges since late February/early March 2023.

I will continue to pursue retaliation charges against the university for subjecting me to this injustice and I stand in full support of my Zionist Jewish colleagues who have also been placed under investigation by CUNY for filing antisemitism complaints.

So many of you have shared such strong words of support about this for the past year. I cannot thank you enough. It really helped keep me going. I am so grateful for your support, kindness, and words that gave me strength and resolve through what was an incredibly stressful period.

We must all stand up to persecution of Jews who stand up to antisemitism, or it will never end.

With love and appreciation to all of you who have followed this situation and supported me,

Jeff Lax

@JoshNBCNews @NBCNewsNow Just watched your report and btw Africa is not a country. You kept referring to it as one.

[Avichai Scher @avi_scher]

@RyanWaltersSupt Wow you clearly need some schooling yourself. This is clearly a joke at your expense and you fell for it.

@SarahKSilverman What say you about Bradley Cooper’s prosthetic nose in your movie Maestro??
