There’s a good reason the US and dozens of other countries and cities have adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism. When leaders move to revoke it, like what happened today in New York, it should alarm everyone—especially as violence against Jews is dangerously escalating.
We’re grateful to @taylorswift13 for standing with families facing hunger. Her generosity reminds us what’s possible when we come together to help ensure full tables this holiday season and beyond. 🧡
Next time, it would be nice for the media to talk about antisemitism before it ends with 15 of us murdered while lighting candles on the beach.
Jews appreciate that the world knows how to mourn us. But we wish it would learn how to protect us, instead.
My dad, Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, was murdered on December 14, 2025, at Bondi Beach Hanukkah Lighting Festival. He was a fascinating, cheerful and kind person of many talents with an unwavering spirit. He died shielding my mum, Larisa. 🧵
Antizionism is a hate movement against Jews. It spreads lies against Israel to make all “Zionists” fair targets as “evil” so their ostracism, demonization and murder will be “justified.”
Until everyone understands this, my people will continue to be murdered wherever we live.
I lived through Oct 7th. Never imagined I’d see this horror in Australia.
Bullet grazed my head. Doctors said miracle survived, but will make recovery.
Tonight is 1st night of Chanukah. The forces of darkness and hate will never triumph. We will prevail.

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,
My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.
On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.
For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.
So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.
This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.
You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.
Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.
This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.
This is what we woke up to THE MORNING AFTER @ZohranKMamdani was elected. Swastikas all over Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend — the biggest Jewish school in NYC.
The antisemites are emboldened. This is not a game.
Stay Vigilant.
I am not worried about Zohran Mamdani's policy on Israel. He's running for the mayor of NYC, he isn't going to be making policy on Israel.
I'm also not going to tell Americans that they can't vote for someone because of their opinion on Israel. He's entitled to whatever opinions he has.
But, as mayor of New York, Zohran would be responsible for the safety of Jews, and I don't think he's up to the task.
Antisemitism has increased drastically since October 7th. In New York City alone, antisemitic hate crimes made up 54% of all hate crimes.
For a little perspective, there were around 345 hate crimes that targeted Jews in 2024. The next highest category of hate crimes was against queer people, of which there were 78 hate crimes committed.
Antisemitism is becoming a massive problem, and Mamdani doesn't take it seriously at all.
Less than 100 years ago:
Baghdad Iraq: 35% Jewish
Warsaw, Poland: 30% Jewish
Minsk, Belarus: 40% Jewish
Today:
Baghdad Iraq: 0% Jewish
Warsaw, Poland: .5% Jewish
Minsk, Belarus: .2% Jewish
Jews in NYC: tomorrow, vote like your life depends on it.
This is possibly Trump's most dangerous press conference of all time. The president spreading lies about vaccines and medications could lead to so many unnecessary deaths and suffering.
