@el_raul Love you.

When I light #Shabbat candles with my Hillel community, I’ll be praying for easy transitions (end of academic year), health and peace. We each deserve comfort and happiness. May it be so. #shabbatshalom

@thestustustudio They’re really tiresome.

@JewTLA @mnmomalibu How do we help? Your work is valuable and necessary.

I am a Zionist. Many people out there don’t seem to understand what a Zionist is - and what it isn’t - so here you go.

I believe in the existence of a Jewish home land, Israel, in the land of Judea, where it currently is.

As a Zionist, I do not automatically agree with or support everything the country does, nor do I automatically agree with every government, every politician, every decision.

As a Zionist, I am free to criticize policies and governments of Israel, just the same as I am to criticize the Canadian government or the American government or any other government.

I can believe that the Israelis who spit on Christians should be charged, and I do.

I can believe that the violence in Judea and Samaria needs to be stopped, and I do.

I can believe that every single Israeli, regardless of religion, who commits rape, should be tried and should face the harshest punishments, and I do.

I can believe that every single war crime committed by an Israeli should be prosecuted, and I do.

I can believe that Israel should be held to the same standards of every other nation, and I do.

The only things I don’t do, because I’m a Zionist?

Call for the destruction of the only Jewish nation in the world.

Hold them to a far higher standard than everyone else, just because they’re Jewish.

Spread false propaganda about them, just because they’re Jewish.

Because even though you pretend that’s “antizionism”, it’s just masking your true motives.

Jew hatred.

@HowardA_AtLaw Mazal tov!

@HamblettMike @havivrettiggur Do you even know anybody Jewish? Most I know have plenty to say about the govt.

@thefuzzyone83 Thank you so much!

When I light #shabbat candles, I’ll be at home, as it’s hard to help with Shabbat while using crutches. I’ll have in mind people wondering how to make ends meet, folks crippled by self-loathing and all those trying to persist amid unimaginable circumstances.
#Shabbatshalom!

[Andrea גילי Harris @DeityShe]

@AnneLowry8 Thank you! I spilled water in the kitchen almost two weeks ago, and slipped! It’s tile. Hope you are well. Shabbat shalom!

Eid Mubarak!

[Andrea גילי Harris @DeityShe]

@hwinkler4real Uh, that seems personal, given the ceremony our son had on his 8th day. We also know it’s hogwash.

[Andrea גילי Harris @DeityShe]

@ChmielPhillip @UCLAchancellor @UCLA He is - please email me at Hillel at UCLA if you want to know more of what’s actually happening.
