[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

How dare you?
Millions of us Iranians are in total darkness.
The internet is shut down.
People being killed and from the safety of the free world, you go on international media to repeat accusations the regime uses to kill them.
That’s not analysis.
That’s fuel.

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.

The final moments of 10-year-old Matilda.

She had her face painted, was happy and smiling, just moments before she was shot to death by Islamic terrorists at Bondi Beach, simply because she was Jewish.

It shatters the heart.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

The mother of 10 year old Matilda who was murdered at Bondi beach just spoke. She can’t get the image of the terrorist aiming at her child and firing out of her head and heart. It wasn’t an accident. He fired at her. This is unbearable to watch.

Is this purge the justice we called for?

@Roman_Baber @nccm Are they fortune tellers? Israel hadn’t had a military response yet. It took Israel 3 weeks to respond. This statement put out the day after 10/7 - this statement reads as a coordinated plan. I can’t believe the nerve of this woman in her response to you.

@GreatBig_Sea @Roman_Baber @nccm There’s a number of them condemning Hamas right now. Not enough of them, but a handful. Also, check out the Center for Peace Communications

@DahliaKurtz 80% of Dutch Jews murdered in the Holocaust were turned in by their neighbors, so this seems about right.

[Catherine Black @dubhcat]

@Eve_Barlow I think I recall reading in the Museum of Tolerance that 80% of Dutch Jews killed in the Holocaust were turned in by their neighbors.

@ultravisk It was the sound designer who used AI - not Adrian Brody. This was the filmmakers choice and not a performance issue. Before AI they would hire other (cheaper) actors to do ADR for A-listers. If you watched his performance you’d see, he was truly the best actor.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Wow. Extremely moving speech.
Share everywhere.

“Jews are the canary in the coal mine”
“15 months ago that canary died on Oct 7th”

One of the most important speeches you will see.

If there is one video you should watch today it’s 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚.

Please put aside 20 mins to watch @lauder_ronald at the Holocaust Memorial.

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, I have some thoughts on why Holocaust education hasn’t been as effective as we might’ve hoped.

Much of the western world was taught the “what” of the Holocaust (what happened), but not the “why” (why it happened).

They were taught about Hitler’s rise to power on antisemitism, but they weren’t taught that Hitler didn’t invent antisemitism and that it was lying dormant in Germany, as it always does, waiting to be excited back to life again.

They were taught about Auschwitz, but they weren’t taught about millennia long antisemitism that needed only shapeshift to the grievance of the time to make Auschwitz happen.

They were taught numbers and statistics, but they weren’t taught about how blaming the Jews for every evil was the precursor to persecution, from blaming Jews for the crucification of Jesus during the 1st century, to poisoning the wells during the Black Death in Medieval times, to the blood libel of drinking children’s blood in the 12th century, to economic manipulation during the Farhud.

They were taught about concentration camps, but they weren’t taught that what preceded the concentration camps were accusations of secret Jewish council’s controlling the world, “Jewish supremacy” plaguing society, Jews “controlling banks and manipulating the economy,” and tracing all contemporary evils and social ills backs to Jews.

They were taught about the genocide of Jews, but not the history of scapegoating Jews as the catalyst to their genocide.

Had they been taught the “why” of the Holocaust, they may have been much savvier at identifying today’s persecution of Jews as the “greatest evil of our time,” as another iteration of identical pre-Holocaust antisemitism.

Because they weren’t taught the “why,” these patterns have reemerged as they do on estimate every 2-4 generations.

Holocaust education should’ve taught the world about Nazi Germany as the horrifying end, not the covert beginning of Jewish persecution.

[David Lynch @DAVID_LYNCH]

David Lynch, our beloved dad, was a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace. On Monday, January 20th—what would have been his 79th birthday—we invite you all to join us in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm NOON PST for 10 minutes.

Let us come together, wherever we are, to honor his legacy by spreading peace and love across the world. Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe.

Thank you for being part of this celebration of his life.

Love,

Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch

I was working on this essay rejecting both Islamism and demonisation of Muslims before the Amsterdam pogrom, but the title seems ever more fitting day by day

It feels a little bleak right now, but I’m truly excited for the future of filmmaking. Here’s my ode to indie filmmaking and love of storytelling and why I think it’s our future. Read the full article on Substack #Hollywood #indiefilmmaking https://t.co/5BX5IVHjab

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

I am the only woman in America right now with eight people, including senior members of a foreign government’s military from Iran, charged with plotting to kill me for fighting for freedom. Yet, not a single female politician from my adopted country, the U.S., has condemned this attack. Why?

That’s why I’m calling on Vice President @KamalaHarris to stand with the #WomanLifeFreedom movement and speak out against this IRGC terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

The reach of this foreign government’s terror makes every American less safe, now is the time to act.
