Here’s Meghan’s full 10 minute speech at the inauguration of the Lost Screen Memorial at Place des Nations in Geneva Switzerland.🇨🇭 I cried. She humanised these children and made us truly feel the weight of their loss. Powerful.
“Let our children look back at this moment, and let them feel proud of us, that we chose something better, for them, and for us all.”

“Because if an adult is barely able to survive the bullying and predation of the online world and the dangers that these platforms can bring, how is a child?"😭
@UN_PGA Haben Sie auch eine persönliche Meinung, z.Bsp. über die ca. 50000 gemarterte und ermordete junge Menschen? Menschen die in einer freieren Welt leben wollten.
@SarahMSander@AhmadMansour__@oliverreporter Toller Podcast vielen Dank dafür. Entspricht genau meiner Meinung über die Situation seit dem 7.10.23. Ich bin entsetzt und enttäuscht darüber was seither weltweit passiert. #NeverAgain Alles Gute für Sie Frau Sander ich habe den größten Respekt für Sie
After my parents fled the Islamic Regime in 1979, they found safe haven in Queens, New York.
That’s where I was born. In a tiny apartment in Queens.
My parents had nothing. Not money. Not connections. Not even the ability to speak English.
Unlike Zohran Mamdani, I didn’t go to a fancy private school. I went to a NYC public school that was so crowded there weren’t enough desks for each student. Half the time I sat on the radiator in the back of the room and took notes on my lap.
I rode the MTA bus home, while both my parents worked to put food on the table and rebuild their lives.
And they did rebuild. Because in America, and only in America, capitalism gave them a real chance to start again.
The people supporting Mamdani are just like him. A bunch of entitled rich kids who have no clue how lucky they are, and even less of a clue why they have been conditioned to hate America.
They don’t know what it’s like to buy shoes two sizes too big so you don’t outgrow them before the end of the school year.
To act as the translator for your parents at 6 years old.
To claw your way from having nothing to achieving something.
And today they celebrate, because they’re too dumb or radicalized or both to realize they’re falling for the same Islamist-Marxist lies that caused my parents to flee Iran in the first place.
All to destroy a city that was once a hopeful refuge for millions of people who just wanted a better life.
People like me and my family.
What a sad, sad day.
My heart is absolutely broken for NYC.
"HEY JEW"
This has probably been shared a bazillion times. But it's still not enough.
Every time Roy said something I wanted to write down, he said something that topped it.
One of the best things you'll see. Period.

Those non-Jewish supporters of Israel may not realize how deeply their presence fills us with pride and encouragement. I am profoundly grateful for this global love and solidarity.
May this Shabbat plant its warmth in every heart.
