Hey @JetBlue - I have always liked your service. Please fix this. Discrimination and harassment by your staff against Jewish people is unacceptable. https://t.co/ER2yzE6O2V
Iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel with the intent to inflict mass casualties. Iran has financed terror threats like Hezbollah, which has displaced thousands of Israelis from their homes; and Hamas, which perpetrated October 7th, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
Israel has a right to defend itself from both direct and indirect forms of Iranian aggression.
📢📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT📢📢
@Columbia has opened an investigation into my advocacy for the Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff at the university.
This is a clear act of retaliation and an attempt to silence me.
If you want to know more, read my statement below
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.
(this thread may be a bit long, but trust me: it's worth it)
Harvard College Early Applications Drop 17% From Last Year
It takes 400 years to build a reputation and only a few months to destroy it. https://t.co/AHOyYzrRKz
The SNL live audience didn't laugh because the skit wasn't funny & neither is Antisemitism. Especially in light of the resignation of the Penn President hours before the show.
If this is the best the SNL team can offer, I think we were all better off when the union was on strike
BREAKING: UPenn president Liz Magill has resigned.
Now Harvard's Claudine Gay & MIT's Sally Kornbluth must do the same.
Their schools censor criticism of DEI and saying that sex is biological & binary, but they'd allow calling for genocide of Jews “depending on the context.”
for a long time i said that antisemitism, particularly on the american left, was not as bad as people claimed.
i'd like to just state that i was totally wrong.
i still don't understand it, really. or know what to do about it.
but it is so fucked.
BREAKING: Ross Stevens, CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, sent a letter to @Penn telling them that he is withdrawing a $100M donation over President Liz Magill's anti-semitism comments before Congress.

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
Shame on you Macys for allowing a Palestinian flag on a float in your parade. I will never shop there again. How offensive! You have ruined the parade. @Macys@macysnews@MacysTourism
Fairfax County, VA - in a shocking development, Langley High School has suspended an Asian student who REPORTED this vile hatred!
Please contect Langley High Principal Kimberly Greer to voice your outrage: [email protected]
Students who courageously bring attention to such incidents deserve commendation, not punishment!
Fairfax County Public Schools has emboldened students to become even more aggressive in their open antisemitism where they explicitly express support for Hamas and include swastikas in their signage.
Last week, teens at Robinson Secondary School, rallied in front of their school with a shocking chant breaking out, “Long live Hamas!” Parents who witnessed the chant asked administrators to intervene, but they did not.
Israel's most renowned satire show presents an exclusive interview between the leader of Hamas and the BBC's best and brightest - don't miss the end.
