[Trisha Posner @trishaposner]

It is getting worse for Jews in Europe. In broad daylight in central Vienna, Jewish Austrian artist Alon Yishai — former president of Austria’s Jewish Students’ Assoc. — was assaulted after peacefully protesting at the monument of notorious antisemite Karl Lueger.

“You are the shame of Austria.” “Jewish pigs.” Hitler an “idol.” Spitting.

Austria recorded a record 1,532 antisemitic incidents in 2025. Authorities are silent, enabling this hatred. This is the new normal across Europe post-Oct 7.

Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey is at Khamenei’s funeral chanting ‘death to Israel’ and thanking Iran from all the “free peoples of the world”. Is this satire?

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

The propaganda was published. The science is now catching up.

The flawed Lancet study used to vilify Israel is now facing serious criticism over biased sampling, possible double counting, and inflated death estimates.

The “anticolonial” crowd went awfully silent when Turkey started talking about reconquering Jerusalem.

They’d go nuts if British ministers vowed to reconquer New Delhi. They’d go ballistic if the French said they’d “liberate” Algiers or the Spanish said they’d take back Lima.

[Never Again @Never_Again2020]

The @BBC's coverage of Khamenei’s funeral has been so reverential, you'd think a respected statesman had died, not a monster who killed 40,000 of his own citizens, hanged gay men and blinded girls who defied his dress code. Our national broadcaster has lost its moral compass.

Alain @Destexhe, the former Secretary-General of Doctors Without Borders (@MSF, 1991-1995), on the deep rot that has penetrated the organization:

“It would have been impossible at the time when I was secretary-general of MSF to be as biased as MSF is now in Gaza. We were defining ourselves as a neutral, impartial and humanitarian organization … I think now MSF in Gaza is really taking the side [of] Hamas and against Israel. Americans need to know that Doctors Without Borders is not anymore the organization that it was 15 or 20 years ago. It has become a biased, partial and militant organization.”

I used to donate to @MSF every month, but I will never do so again, unless they radically change their ways. See: https://t.co/i7ReK7jmR7

Sa'id David Moshe (75) held the safe room door firmly, but the terrorists shattered the window and broke in.

Before Hamas soldiers murdered Sa'id in front of his wife, the elderly man gave Adina (72) one last kiss.

She was abducted to Gaza and held in tunnels for 49 days, where she met Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Adina was released and returned to Israel, but her husband was never to return, a victim of Palestinian terrorism on Jews.

Did you all know this?
I didn’t.

[Ashager Araro @AshagerAraro]

We didn’t need to know what was in Payton Gendron’s heart when he targeted and murdered Black Americans in a Buffalo supermarket.

We didn’t need to know what was in Brenton Tarrant’s heart when he opened fire and slaughtered Muslims in a Christchurch mosque.

We didn’t need to know what was in Omar Mateen’s heart when he massacred the LGBTQ+ community at an Orlando nightclub.

We knew exactly what it was: violent hate.

But when a criminal firebombs a Jewish community space in Boulder while shouting anti-Israel slogans, DSA-backed candidate Melat Kiros suddenly claims we "don't know what was in the perpetrator's heart."

This isn't a lack of information, it is the deliberate, systematic sanitization of violent antisemitism. The same radicals who built their entire political identities on calling out hate have zero issue with gaslighting Jews when we are targeted in broad daylight.

[Avi Nir-Feldklein @avraham_nir]

Violence against Jews has become normalized, not only in Spain, but unfortunately in other nations that position themselves as guardians of human rights and morality.

​It is intolerable that Jews are being hunted in the streets, least of all in countries that claim the moral high ground.
Before casting judgment on others, these nations would do well to take an honest look at the grim reality within their own borders, even when the victims are Jews. Today, all too many Jews in liberal societies feel compelled to conceal their identity.

Today the Rabbi at our synagogue in Brighton was on his way to give services and a car slowed down while passing him. The white middle-aged driver shouted: "How many children have you killed today? F**king genocider!"

EVERYONE who spread the genocide lie is to blame for this.

[Natasha Hausdorff @HausdorffMedia]

The announcement of the Committee to Protect Journalists that it will revise its database, after removing members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad whom it had previously listed as journalists, is too little too late. Discussing the immense damage the CPJ has done, with David Ross. The CPJ's false figures have been widely cited by governments, NGOs, campaign groups and international media organisations, even after independent researchers have called out this misinformation.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

The San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain opened with a giant banner saying “Destroy Israel”. Not surprising from a place where all Jews were forcibly converted, expelled or killed. History repeats itself.

[Kosher Chutzpah @KosherChutzpah]

Romi Gonen is still held hostage by Hamas.

She physically returned home in January 2025 after 471 days in hell—but her mind never did.

Kidnapped at age 23 from the Nova music festival, Romi endured multiple sexual assaults, endless isolation in tunnels, an untreated gunshot wound, and brutal conditions.

Today, Romi battles deep, lasting trauma, PTSD, guilt, anxiety, and daily emotional struggles, even as her body tries to recover. Ordinary sounds still transport her back. Mental breakdowns strike without warning.

In her public testimony, she said it plainly: "You can’t heal from such a thing." Her fight continues every single day.

The horrors of October 7 are not the past—they are still today.

Philippe Lazzarini made UNRWA an arm of Hamas. It's time to indict him for complicity with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Egypt occupied Gaza from 1949 to 1967. Never created Palestine. Kept the residents in squalid refugee camps. Built almost nothing except a giant wall to keep them out of Egypt.

Turkey just banned a cruise ship carrying nearly 2,000 gay travelers, including Broadway legend Patti LuPone, from docking in Kuşadası and Istanbul.

Officials called the passengers a threat to their "moral values."

Istanbul police then raided a gay nightclub that had operated for 18 years, because it planned to welcome the cruise's passengers.

A state punishing people for existing. If a different, specific Middle Eastern country did this, it would lead every front page for a week. Turkey, a NATO country does it and the human rights industry looks away.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On July 4, 1943, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met Heinrich Himmler — and was told that three million Jews had already been murdered.

Amin al-Husseini spent the day with top SS officers at Himmler’s field headquarters. Himmler confided in him about the ongoing genocide and even discussed Germany’s advancing nuclear program, promising an atomic weapon that would secure the “final victory.”

By then the Mufti was already a full partner in the Nazi project. He had met Hitler in 1941, received a lavish salary and residences from the Reich, and was actively recruiting tens of thousands of Muslims for the Waffen-SS in Bosnia and elsewhere. He broadcast vicious antisemitic propaganda on Radio Berlin, urging Arabs to “kill the Jews wherever you find them.”

The explicit goal was never hidden. In a top-secret letter from Foreign Minister Ribbentrop (and coordinated with Italy), the Axis powers promised the Mufti full support for Arab independence and the destruction of the Jewish National Home in Palestine.

Al-Husseini didn’t just hate Jews in theory. He worked directly with the men running the death camps, pushed for the bombing of Tel Aviv, trained Arab commandos for sabotage operations against Jews, and spent years trying to block any rescue or refuge for European Jews — all while the gas chambers ran at full capacity.

He chose the Nazis over every other option, including earlier Ottoman and British proposals that had offered Jews a national home while recognizing Arab rights. He bet everything on Hitler — and lost with him.

Some alliances don’t just fail. They make you an accomplice in history’s greatest crime.

Bruna Valea immigrated to Israel from Brazil, and was murdered on October 7th by Hamas terrorists.

She had just celebrated her 24th birthday.

Her family begged for a miyan at the funeral... just 10 people, but famously nearly 10k showed up to pray🇮🇱
