Here is @NYCMayor Mamdani 13 days after October 7th accusing Israel of genocide. Yet, Israel didn’t launch its counterattack on Hamas until October 27th.

How is it possible for Israel to commit genocide a week before it launched its response to the massacre of 1,200 citizens and the kidnapping of 251 of its people?

Mamdani’s genocide talking point was part of his hateful rhetoric even before Israel had a chance to defend itself.

It has as much credibility now as it did then.

This is NYPD Detective Jose Mercedes. He was stabbed SEVEN times while off duty by two illegal Dominicans.

This happened last week. Two miles away from the ICE shooting yesterday.

This is not a story NYC Dems care about.

Keep him in mind when you hear those same Democrats demand that ICE be abolished.

The Attorney General is OBSESSED with national politics.

I’m focused on the safety of New Yorkers, and I always will be.

FACT CHECK: Under Letitia James, criminal convictions by New York's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit have plummeted.

[Spectrum News 1 Albany @SpecNews1Albany]

Republican candidate Saritha Komatireddy claimed Democratic candidate Letitia James “has never prosecuted a criminal case in her whole career.”
In response, James said that for the past seven years in office, she has “gotten results for individuals in the state of New York.”

[Saritha Komatireddy @sarithaforny]

Antisemitism is on the rise in New York, and we cannot allow this hatred to become the new normal.

I made it clear tonight: As Attorney General, I will confront antisemitism head-on and hold those responsible accountable.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Letitia James wrote the catch-and-release law. Then she told New York not to overreact.

Read that again.

Saritha Komatireddy, on NY1… an NYPD officer was stabbed 10 times in the chest this week by two people who had been arrested with weapons and burglary tools and walked.

New York is the only state that will not let a judge ask if the person is dangerous.

James has no answer for that.

[Saritha Komatireddy @sarithaforny]

I confronted Letitia James about her record on Medicaid fraud.

Criminal convictions by New York’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit fell from 97 in 2018 to just 19 in 2024 — an 80% decline.

[Saritha Komatireddy @sarithaforny]

Tonight, I’m making the case for a new direction in New York. We need an Attorney General who will fight crime, enforce the law, and deliver real results for New Yorkers.

A Statement of Conscience on October 7

I will not start by saying ‘as a Muslim’ or ‘as an imam’, but as a human being.

On October 7, over 1,200 innocent people were killed in a single day. Families were shot in their homes. Young people out dancing were hunted across open fields. Over 250 people, including children and the elderly, were dragged into Gaza as hostages. I think of a mother hiding in a safe room with her baby’s mouth covered. I think of a father listening as the line went quiet. I think of families who waited month after month for someone to come home, only to receive a coffin. I didn’t need my faith to recognize the evil of what happened. My heart told me first.

But I’m a Muslim and an imam, and I owe the world one honest sentence: what was done that day was a crime against God. God teaches that whoever kills one innocent soul, it is as if he had killed all humanity.

This day has an author: Yahya Sinwar. He planned it, ordered it, and knew what would follow. Every death of that day and war he started rests on him and Hamas leaders who sat in tunnels and foreign hotels and called slaughter a victory. It rests on every Palestinian leader who cheered, excused, handed out sweets, or said nothing. They chose this. They own it.

But Sinwar did not invent himself. He was the fruit of a tree planted almost a century ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas named itself in its founding charter as the Brotherhood’s branch in Palestine. The Brotherhood’s poison is slow. It arrives through study circles, youth camps, charity boxes, and kind words to lonely young men. Drop by drop, it teaches him that his religion is a political party, his neighbour is his enemy, the Jew is the cause of his sorrow, and God is pleased by rage. By the time the gun arrives, the soul is already taken.

I have seen this poison in mosques where sermons became rallies and young men could recite slogans but not sit still for a verse on mercy. Every people that let the Brotherhood in has paid in blood and ruined generations. It has never built anything it did not first set on fire.

Behind Hamas stands another hand: the IRGC. It was the IRGC’s money, weapons, and training that turned a hateful idea into an army. One calls itself Sunni and the other Shia, and they may curse each other’s creeds, but they are united in what they worship. It is not God. It is power. The same IRGC that armed the killers of October 7 shoots Iranian girls for showing their hair, hangs young men for asking to be free, and has left graves from Tehran to Damascus to Beirut. They speak in God’s name. So did Pharaoh speak in the name of heaven.

So let me say this clearly. Hamas and the IRGC are not merely enemies of Islam. That would be too small a charge, as if their crime were only against us. They are enemies of God. God is the Giver of life, yet they deal in death. God calls Himself the Most Merciful, yet they have made cruelty a sacrament. God honoured the children of Adam, yet they look at a child and see a target or a shield. To murder what God created and sign His name to it is the oldest blasphemy.

And we Muslims have been too quiet. Some of us were afraid. Some told ourselves it was not our business. Some, God forgive them, felt something other than horror that morning and never confessed it. Silence was the soil this poison grew in. I will not add to it.

So on this anniversary, let us say plainly what our scripture already says. The Jews are not our enemies. They are our cousins in Abraham, and their dead were created by the same God who created us. Today belongs to them: the murdered, the hostages, and families who still set a place at the table. To them I say: I am sorry for what was done to you by men who used the words of my prayers. You’re not alone in your grief or remembrance.

The enemies of God are those who murder in His name. We know their names. It is time we said them from our own pulpits, in our own voices, before they speak for us again.

@Reuters , seems like you’ve conveniently forgotten how we got here, here’s a little reminder.

View of southern Israel during the October 7 Massacre:

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 innocent civilians in Israel.

Among those slain were men, women, and children — including dozens of Americans.

We will never forget this act of barbarism against an ally and recommit ourselves to the defense of civilization.

A few days ago, we believed that without the heroism of the passengers on Flight 1073, the almost 180 people aboard, 27 of them children, would have been killed. Now we know that without the bravery of Capt. Smit Machchhar, Yaniv Hayun, Tzvika Mans and Assaf Rajuan, we would be facing a catastrophe likely worse than October 7.

Under interrogation, Hamam al-Hammami, the Omani co-pilot, confessed that after killing the pilot his plan was to fly a normal landing approach and, in the final seconds, when interception was no longer possible, crash the plane into Ben Gurion Airport. That is why, rather than striking at the outset, he attacked the captain only once the plane was over Jordan.

The flight was due to land around 9:30 a.m., at the height of Sukkot, when traffic through the airport peaks. Tens of thousands of travelers would likely have been in the terminal when it arrived, and the death toll could easily have run into the thousands. Under interrogation, al-Hammami admitted that on previous trips to Israel he had “gathered information,” perhaps on where a crash would claim the most lives.

Had he managed to crash the plane into the Saudi desert, as we originally believed was his intention, the aftermath would have been catastrophic. The day would have gone down as the second-deadliest terror attack in Israel’s history, with nearly five times the death toll of the third. The central artery of the Abraham Accords, the 30-flight-a-day corridor, would have been severed, and the steadily warming relations between the Emirates and Israel would have frozen.

Had his original plan succeeded, it would have been, by a wide margin, the worst attack in Israel’s history, and it would have closed far more than one flight corridor. Even if the physical damage at Ben Gurion could be quickly repaired, no airline would risk flying to Israel. The country would face an aviation isolation worse than anything it experienced even at the peak after October 7.

The tourism industry, barely hanging on by a thread after three years of war, would plunge into the abyss. Above all, the damage to the sense of safety of Israelis, chronic world travelers, would be incalculable.

The most obvious and striking parallel is that Israel almost had its own 9/11, nearly exactly 25 years after the first. Not in the loose, figurative sense in which the phrase is so often used, but literally: a plane turned into a weapon, with a death toll that may have been comparable to that disaster, and far greater relative to Israel’s population. And the effect would have been even more disastrous. The World Trade Center was a symbolic target, while Ben Gurion is the heart of Israel’s connection to the outside world. It would have done more to isolate Israel from the world than any single Hamas attack.

No thanks, medals or rewards are sufficient for the heroes who prevented what would undoubtedly have been the most devastating single attack on the State of Israel.

Some numbers tell a dispositive story.

1939: 40 million Arabs in the world.
2026: 450 million Arabs in the world

1939: 17 million Jews in the world.
2026: 16 million Jews in the world

1939: 4 sovereign Arab states
2026: 22 sovereign Arab states

1939: 0 sovereign Jewish states.
2026: 1 sovereign Jewish state

Tell me again what the argument is about.

Asaf Rejuwan, one of the Israeli survivors of flight 1073 wrote on Facebook:

״I don't usually post on social media, but today I felt something burning deep inside me that I simply had to share.

Ever since the incident where the terrorist's attempt to hijack the Flydubai flight was thwarted, there has been a lot of coverage in the media, and I’ve been asked many times what factors I believe prevented the terrible disaster that could have befallen our people had that despicable terrorist succeeded in his plans.

Today, I think I received a very special and interesting answer to that question. Naturally, after the incident ended and we landed safely on the Land of Israel, I felt the need to thank many people... the passengers who cooperated, my lioness of a wife and all the mothers and fathers who protected their loved ones, the children who stayed composed, and every Israeli passenger on that plane.

Yesterday, I was part of a group of passengers interviewed for an international channel. As each passenger went into detail about how they experienced the flight, we realized something very important- something you only understand when the dust settles and you get into the small details during intimate conversations among yourselves.

We realized that every single passenger on that flight had a role, every passenger on the flight had a role.

One passenger was responsible for communicating with Israel's security services

I discovered there was a passenger on board who provided a mobile hotspot and made sure to share it with others

Another female passenger sat and recited Psalms

A passenger made sure to pass along headphone cords to tie up the terrorist

Passengers kept track of where we were going to land using GPS maps

An Australian passenger was the only one on the plane who could make calls back to Israel from an enemy country (Saudi Arabia)

And the list goes on... And, of course, the amazing Yaniv, the wonderful Tzvika and Tali, the hero Shota, the great man Or, and many other great friends who lent a hand.

I had no doubt that after such a great miracle, I would be attending synagogue on Saturday morning to recite the Birkat HaGomel (the prayer of thanking the God of Israel after a lifesaving miracle)

I am not a religious person. I believe in God in my own way, and I don't usually look for signs in everything. But today, something happened that completely astonished me. Completely by chance, today in the synagogue I read from Parashat Devarim (Deuteronomy 33:26):

"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to help you, and in His majesty rides the skies."

אֵין כָּאֵל יְשֻׁרוּן רֹכֵב שָׁמַיִם בְּעֶזְרֶךָ וּבְגַאֲוָתוֹ שְׁחָקִים

I read the verse, stopped, and got goosebumps, and so did all the other worshippers who knew the story and understood why I was there with them.

After everything that happened on that flight, after the fear, after the storming of the terrorist, and after realizing how thin the line between life and death really was- finding myself facing those exact words, "rides the heavens to help you," was a moment I can hardly explain.

I don't know if it was divine providence, a coincidence, or simply a moment that took on a profoundly deep meaning for me. But today, in the synagogue, as I recited Birkat HaGomel, I felt mainly one thing:

Thank you. Thank you for life. Thank you for the miracle. And thank you for the privilege to stand here and tell the story.

Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱״

“[FSD Supervised] is life-changing.

I was on the phone with my brother last night, and I made him buy one. He literally bought one while we were talking.

I’m buying 10 of my employees a Tesla with FSD. It’s 8x safer than the average driver.

There’s nothing more important than the safety of you and your loved ones.”
