Boulder firebomber Mohamed Sabry Soliman recorded a video before the attack declaring, “Jihad is more beloved to me than my mother, wife, and children. Allah is greater than the Zionists and America.” @MEMRIReports
Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives.
This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC.
The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss.
Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.

"I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent, and we must not tolerate it in our nation." - @VP https://t.co/E5Olee1VNp
Statement from The Wall Street Journal:
“This is a sham trial that should never have taken place, just as Evan never should have been arrested. The sooner it’s over, the better. Journalism is not a crime, and Evan should be released now."

BREAKING: Jill Maurer Burnett has been elected the next IU alumni trustee. John McGlothlin took 2nd and incumbent Jeremy Morris came in 3rd @IndianaUniv@WFIUWTIUNews
@WFIUWTIUNews Important to mention: the university says it's still accepting feedback from the community on this policy. The IU Student Government is taking student input here https://t.co/VwMVjM7fqY
We wholeheartedly agree with @JFedLA, and thank them for their leadership:
"Harassment, intimidation, and physical attacks against our Jewish community cannot be tolerated or normalized.... (1/2)
A building at @Stanford, including a war memorial, was defaced with hateful and antisemitic graffiti.
This is not about politics.
This is not about Israel or Gaza.
This is about waging war on American values and institutions. It's about the acceptance and adoption of totalitarian ideologies by individuals who have been radicalized.
12 candidates will run for the open alumni position on the IU Board of Trustees. Any IU degree holder can vote in the election either online or by paper. The election begins at 12:01 a.m. June 1 and ends at 10 a.m. June 28.

Long but totally worth it:
Here is the response that Dina Roubina, a Russian and Israeli writer, sent to the Pushkin House in London, inviting her to a conference but first asking her to clarify her position on Israel.
Dear friends and colleagues
Recently, the Pushkin House in London, in collaboration with the University of London, invited me to a literary debate broadcast on Zoom. The conversation was supposed to be about my books.
I just received this email from the moderator of this meeting.
I suggest you read it, as well as my response, which I invite you to share on social networks
By: Nataliya Rulyova
Hello, Dina!
The Pushkin House announced our upcoming conference on social media and immediately received critical messages regarding your position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They wanted to understand your position on this issue before responding. Could you formulate your position and send it to me as soon as possible?
Please accept, Madam, the expression of my distinguished greetings,
Natasha By: Dina Rubina
Here the reply:
Dear Natalia!
You've written beautifully about my novels, and I'm so sorry for the time you've wasted, because apparently we have to cancel our meeting.
The universities of Warsaw and Torun have just canceled lectures by the wonderful Russian-speaking Israeli writer Yakov Shechter on the life of Galicia's Jews in the 17th and 19th centuries - "to avoid making the situation worse."
I suspected that this would affect me too, since academia is now the main breeding ground for the most disgusting and virulent anti-Semitism, disguised as so-called "criticism of Israel."
. I was expecting something like this, and I even decided to write you an email about it... but I put it aside. It's time for me to publish it.
This is what I want to say to all those who expect from me a quick and obsequious report on my position regarding my beloved country, which currently lives (and always has) surrounded by ferocious enemies who seek to destroy it . My country which is waging a just war today against a rabid, ruthless, deceptive and cunning enemy.
The last time I apologized was in elementary school, in the principal's office, I was 9 years old. Since then, I have been doing what I think is right, listening only to my conscience and expressing exclusively my understanding of the world order and human laws of justice.
Natalia, thank you for your efforts, and I personally ask you to send my answer to all those who are wondering:
"On October 7, Saturday, the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, the ruthless, well-trained, well-prepared and well-equipped Hamas terrorist regime of Iran, Hamas, which rules in the Gaza enclave (which Israel left around twenty years ago), attacked dozens of peaceful kibbutzim, and bombarded my country with tens of thousands of rockets.
Hamas has committed atrocities that even the Bible cannot describe, atrocities that rival the crimes of Sodom and Gomorrah. Atrocities filmed by the way, by GoPro cameras, the murderers having taken the horror to the point of sending the images to their families or on social networks in real time.
For hours, thousands of happy, blood-drunk beasts raped women, children and men, shooting their victims in the crotch and heads, cutting off the women's breasts and playing football with them, cutting off the babies from the wombs of pregnant women and immediately decapitating them, tying up and burning the small children. There were so many charred bodies that, for many weeks, forensic pathologists could not cope with the enormous workload of identifying individuals.
A friend of mine, who worked in the emergency room of a New York hospital for 20 years, then in Israel for 15 years, was one of the first to arrive in the kibbutzim, as part of a team of rescuers and of doctors.
She still hasn't been able to sleep since.
