An edtech educator advocating for accessibility, civil discourse, and art, while opposing antisemitism and advocating for the hostages from Oct 7 2023.
Rinse and repeat :
1. Antisemitic or antizionist attack occurs in country X.
2. Government issues statement: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community at this time. There is no place for antisemitism in [insert country].”
3. Another attack against Jews.
4. Government issues statement: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community at this time. There is no place for antisemitism in [insert country].”
And on and on like this. Because there is room for Jew-hatred in [insert country]. It has a cozy place right by the hearth.
🇮🇱🇰🇷 Koreans are marching through the heart of Seoul, carrying large Israeli flags and holding banners and signs in support of Israel!
They are chanting in Korean:
“Hamas, stop spreading propaganda and lies! Stop using fake news and playing the victim to deceive the world and demonize Israel!”
“Hamas, stop your evil propaganda now!”
“Korea stands with Israel!”
🇰🇷🤝🏻🇮🇱
Koreans will always stand with Israel.
Koreans will always stand with the Jewish people.
Korea and Israel, Koreans and Jews—we are one family! 🇰🇷🇮🇱💙
Mark Rufallo is joined by his Marvel friends Benedict Cumberbatch, Cate Blanchett, Don Cheadle, and many more in a petition to free none other than Marwan Barghouti, former head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
The signatures keep coming: Ian McKellen, Tilda Swinton, Sting, Annie Lennox, Richard Branson, Margaret Atwood, Javier Bardem, Gary Lineker.
None of them mention what he was convicted of. I do, in the video.
I’ve spent years calling out Ben Gvir and Smotrich for their hateful rhetoric. I don’t give my own side a discount, so I’m not giving one to a man convicted of five murders, including one at a bat mitzvah.
“But he’s the only alternative to Hamas”— a movement offering a choice between a mass murderer and a murderer of five is telling you something. So is every celebrity who signed without reading the verdict.
One of the greatest speeches from Jonathan Sachs in 2020 and it is relevant NOW more than ever.
If you’ve never heard this before then I’d recommend just giving 2 and half minutes of your time.
A must listen and share.
May his memory be a blessing.
Dear @EvanLSolomon, any partying words of goodbye for our family? We are leaving Canada in part because of the astounding rise of Jew-hatred that the Quebec and Canadian governments have allowed to fester. Did we deserve to "live, work, worship, and raise our children without fear, intimidation, and hate"?
This is a new low. A girl goes missing and posters are getting ripped down. @MarkJCarney@fordnation@MayorOliviaChow - Canadian values? https://t.co/TVNRuphCIV
@MarkJCarney I'm deeply concerned by the humanitarian crisis in Toronto where Jewish institutions are targeted with assault rifles and fire bombs and nobody in government seems to care.
Proud to be on this lineup of men and women of different faiths, ethnicities, and politics.
We disagree on many things but not this:
Antizionism is a hate movement, and it must be opposed.

Some good advice. Social identity (& relationships), time invested, and perceived safety are more important factors than facts.
Kate Emerson (@KateEmerson88), a neo-Nazi who laments the fact that Hitler didn't manage to kill every Jew in the world, pretend to be both Jewish and from Oxford. In fact, she lives in Narrabri, NSW/Australia, and she's a Catholic. Nice try Kate.

Like every year, thousands of Palestinians visited the Temple Mount to pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first night of Ramadan. Throughout the month, 10,000 Palestinians from the West Bank will be granted access to attend Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa.
Israel continues to facilitate freedom of worship for all religions. There is no apartheid here.
My great grandparents were shot by the Nazis in front of their Odesa family home in 1941.
On this Holocaust Remembrance Day don't say "Never Again" if you don't stand up for the Jews or the Persians now.
Pls take a few minutes to watch my ask at the Justice Committee yesterday.
LEFT: U.N. “human rights expert” Francesca Albanese says she's silent on slaughter of Iranian protesters as it's beyond her Palestinian areas mandate to which she is “rigorously dedicated.”
RIGHT: Albanese last week condemning U.S. for arresting dictator Maduro in Venezuela.
The sudden presence of #Iran at #Davos is an absolute scandal. Davos claims to be a sanctuary of dialogue, yet it offers its platform to a regime that has just massacred 20,000 of its own citizens. If Davos does not cancel this invitation, Davos should be shamed and boycotted.
