60,000 strong in the face of hate.
💪🇨🇦🇮🇱
When your government doesn’t stand with you, your voice gets louder.
Thank you to all of those who kept us safe today and every ally who showed up to be counted, ✌️
Today, we walk together @UJAFederation’s Walk for Israel.
We walk for peace, justice, pluralism, and the right of every person to thrive in a Toronto that is welcoming, tolerant, and safe for all.
To Toronto’s Jewish community: I stand with you, and I will walk alongside you today and every day.
Overnight, the window of a synagogue near Bathurst and Glencairn was smashed. A place where families gather to pray was targeted, and the Toronto Police Hate Crime Unit is leading the investigation.
No one in this city should have to wonder whether their place of worship is safe. Antisemitism has no home in Toronto, and an attack on one community is an attack on all of us.
Tomorrow, tens of thousands will gather for the Walk with Israel. To Toronto’s Jewish community: I will walk with you tomorrow and always. Know you belong here, you are valued here, and you are not alone.
¹ Thanks to the work of @bandlersbanter, @AshleyRindsberg, @EllaTravelsLove and @shlomitlir, there's growing awareness of coordinated ideological takeover of Wikipedia's Israel/Palestine coverage after Oct. 7
So I decided to measure its extent and the results are extraordinary🧵
How is Platner ‘working class’?
He comes from a distinguished and affluent family.
He went to a prestigious boarding school, Hotchkiss.
His family bought his home.
He has a vanity business.
Prior to Maine he sloshed around in DC with political elites and activists.
Dysfunctional, downwardly mobile leftists always try to pass off their destination as their origin story, but if you pay attention at all it’s not convincing.
I agree with every word Sam Harris says here about Israel, and I'll go further. The preoccupation with this country is antisemitism. There is no other explanation for how that, of all the world's many brutal dictatorships and ongoing famines, all of Europe and the Middle East is obsessed with this tiny scrap of land and what the people that rule it defensively and democratically, in a sea of aggressive tyrants, are doing. Any country subjected to such unrelenting scrutiny by those already predisposed to be suspicious of it would come out looking evil, and that's before the lying and semantic games.
If you believe that no criticism of Israel can be antisemitic, and that the antisemitic Arab world is not interested in destroying it, with the applause of most of antisemitic Europe, I'm sorry, but you live in an alternate reality and we have nothing to discuss.
Between a new round of helicopter money, a subsidies-first AI strategy, $600M in more cultural subsidies, and media reports that the government is delaying regulatory reform this week alone, Carneynomics is proving to look a lot like Trudeaunomics.
Such a skilled storyteller, bringing the reality of the Islamic Revolution to the West.
Reminded me of my parents' stories about fleeing the Cuban Revolution as children.
"Died of sadness," per her family.
A big reason the United States has healthier demographics than most developed countries is that it is the global leader in building single family homes.
American housing is intrinsically pronatal. Thread!
@LawfareProject Uh guys did you read your own picture here? Carney is not our friend.
He’s betrayed the Canadian Jewish community and refuses to observe any of the duties the Cdn government has towards us as productive, patriotic Canadian citizens.
@JJ_McCullough Well for the Democrats, it’s primarily that he seems to hate Israel, and for them, that’s more qualifying then a Nazi, Waffen SS tattoo is disqualifying.
“Progressive” values these days.
