Education #theroadtopeace. My passion is to find innovative ways to reach hearts & minds for Israel.
At a time of rising antisemitism worldwide, a mural at the site of Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, a synagogue destroyed by the Eaton Fire in January 2025, was targeted with antisemitic graffiti. Earlier this year, in January 2026, the ruins of Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center were also vandalized.
Enough is enough.
If someone had asked me before October 7th what I wanted to be remembered for, I would have said that I wanted people to know that I was a good father, husband, and friend; a fair judge; and a model American citizen.
But October 7th was a watershed moment in the history of Western civilization—not because of what happened thousands of miles away, but because of what happened here in our supposedly sacred institutions.
Hamas killed 1,200 innocent people. They butchered them in their bedrooms. They beheaded them at their dance parties. They blew them up clutching their families in their bomb shelters.
And yet, at my alma maters, in our universities, we Jews became the oppressors. Hamas raped dozens and dozens of Jewish women and girls, mothers together with their daughters. That's now clear beyond peradventure. You can go home tonight and watch the videotaped confessions of Hamas terrorists admitting to these unspeakable acts. They committed the crime of kinocide.
This was just announced in a recent report by an international NGO on May 12th of this year. It is the first documented use of kinocide as a weapon of war anywhere on the planet since Rwanda in the 1990s.
And yet, in our Western media outlets, we Jews became the aggressors.
The truth. This book, written in Latin in 1695, describes the region called Palestine at that time.
Author Adriani Relandi was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist.
He understood many languages, including Arabic, Ancient Greek and Hebrew.
He described nearly 2,500 settlements mentioned in the Bible, and made an approximate census according to settlements.
His notes;
1. Palestine is mostly empty, abandoned, sparsely populated. The main population is concentrated in Jerusalem, Akko, Tsfat, Jaffa, Tveria and Gaza.
2. The majority of the population is Jewish; almost everyone else is Christian. A very small part is Muslim, mostly Bedouin...
(Relandi refers to Muslims as nomadic Bedouins who come to cities only as seasonal workers in agriculture or construction.)
3. The only exception is Nablus, inhabited by about 120 members of the Muslim Natsha family and approximately 70 Samaritans.
4. About 5,000 people live in Jerusalem; almost all Jews, and a few Christians.
5. The names of most of the settlements are of Jewish origin, and some have Greek or Roman Latin names. Apart from the city of Ramla, there is no Arab settlement whose original name is Arabic.
Place names derived from Jewish, Greek or Latin are usually adapted into Arabic and meaningless...
6. Approximately 550 people live in Gaza, half of whom are Jews and half are Christians.
Jews were successful in agriculture, especially vineyards, olives and wheat, while Christians were engaged in trade and transportation..."

@globalnewscheck @IsraelMFA I think you got that backwards..
Jewish Nobel laureates have won over 200 Nobel Prizes, representing 20-25% of all recipients (including over 10% of Peace Prizes). Conversely, Iranian Nobel laureates; two major Peace Prize winners-Shirin Ebadi (2003) & Narges Mohammadi (2023)
@davidmdraiman@NME@thestrokes Our privilege as American Jews (AKA Zionists) is that we are blessed to have disproportionate presence among Nobel laureates, accounting for over 20% of all Nobel Prizes awarded despite comprising 0.2% of the world population; in the arts, medicine, physiology,economics & peace.

May her memory always be for blessings and inspiration 🙏
We must all condemn the monstrous, unconscionable, savage murder of this young man. Islamists lynched him for his religious beliefs, which were different from that of the gang of murderers. He leaves behind his wife and one-year-old baby.
Mr. Vice President @JDVance, I am an American whose parents came here after the Holocaust. They wanted their children to grow up free from the ethnic and religious hatreds that plagued our people in Europe. I am beyond grateful to them and to this country.
Yet today, I see disturbing levels of extremism and hate rising across the political spectrum in America. I've dedicated much of my life to fighting back through @standwithus, because I know all too well where this hate can lead. The murders in Pittsburgh, Washington DC, and Boulder did not happen in a vacuum. Antisemitic ideas are spreading faster than they have in many decades, fueling deadly violence on our streets. These ideas are poison for our society as a whole.
So I appreciate you stating clearly in a recent interview that antisemitism has no place in your political movement. However, the notion that our concerns about this bigotry on the right are "overstated by people who want to avoid having a foreign policy conversation about Israel" does not align with facts.
It is a fact that influential figures are spreading antisemitic ideas to millions of Americans. Then, when they are criticized for doing so, they play victim and claim their critics are just trying to "shut down" a debate about Israel. They use Israel to avoid having a conversation about the toxic hatred they promote.
Countless Jewish and non-Jewish Americans who support the U.S.-Israel alliance would love nothing more than to have a sane and rational conversation about foreign policy. We believe that this alliance is a massive win for the American people, and have evidence to back that up. We're more than happy to have substantive debates with those who disagree.
What we strongly object to is how "criticism of Israel" and a "backlash to a consensus view in American foreign policy" are being used to launder lies and hate.
For example, Tucker Carlson had a guest tell his millions of followers that the Nazis murdered Jews because of logistical challenges, not genocidal intent. He called the man who peddles this garbage the "best" and "most honest" historian in America. Criticizing that has nothing to do with Israel.
False narratives about Israel or "the Jews" controlling the American government echo the dangerous conspiracy theories that helped the Nazis rise to power and murder my family.
Framing U.S. citizens who care about Israel as disloyal to America is a smear designed to turn patriotic Americans against each other.
Regardless of their intent or status as your friends, Carlson and others with large platforms are poisoning American minds with bad ideas.
Mr. Vice President, I am asking you to put the interests of our country first, and start pushing back far more substantively and forcefully against those bad ideas.
Thank you.
Thank you for putting this important video together, @canarymission.
Folks, please watch this and wake up.
I can’t believe this is happening right before our eyes, but it is.
One by one, the conservative pundits are turning on the Jews.
The latest to join the party? @megynkelly.
So sad. I was a fan.
Gotta hand it to the Qataris. They managed to pay off Candace, Tucker, and now Kelly, maybe even Piers. Allegedly.
Now they accessed their tens of millions of loyal followers.
Hats off to them.
Maybe they should stop trying to spread conspiracies about who killed Charlie, and actually listen to what he had to say.
@PopCrave Heartfelt, perhaps? But ignorant of facts! Palestinians vow to kill all Jews (not only Israelis). Their neighbors. Since their inception in the 1980s. It's enshrined in their national charter. What would you do with a genocidal neighbor vowing 10/7 (think 9/11) again and again?
At TIFF, organizers did everything they could to sideline The Road Between Us — the only film telling Israel’s story after October 7. They stripped it of prominence, gave it one weak time slot, and hoped no one would notice.
But the audience noticed. And they voted with their hearts.
The Road Between Us just won the People’s Choice Award for Best Documentary.
Attempts to erase the Jewish story will always fail. Hate never has the final word.
