You don't get to spend years pushing to fundamentally transform the country, divide it on racial lines, inject DEI into every institution, and then try to brush it off as a minor misunderstanding when your worldview turns out to be extremely unpopular with the American people.
Iranian people remind America that it's a shame to show the flag of terrorism on US soil.
The flag of a regime that murdered Iranian protesters, the flag of a regime that targeted the US soldiers and shot down US helicopter and fighter jet.
Good thing that Iranian people will remind the world where the moral compass is.
She’s 80 years old.
Dame Helen Mirren was walking home through London at night with her husband when a stranger came at her with a phone. Her first instinct, the reflex of a woman who has spent eight decades being decent, was to smile and ask if he was okay. He answered by screaming “evil Zionist b**ch!” in her face, then turned and cursed at her 81-year-old husband too.
Her crime: she once said she believes Israel should exist, that she supports peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and signed a letter supporting a Jewish Israeli singer’s right to sing at Eurovision. That’s it. For that, a grown man followed an 80-year-old down a dark street to abuse her.
Just last week at Cannes, Hannah Einbinder and Javier Bardem spent the whole festival describing how much it costs to speak up for Palestine, how they got blacklisted for it. They said it from the stage of the biggest film festival on earth, in cover interviews with Variety and every paper in Hollywood, to a standing ovation. That is the strangest kind of silencing. It comes with a step and repeat and a publicist booking the next interview.
Nobody chased them down a dark street for any of it. Helen Mirren is the one that happened to. They filmed her, posted it to a crowd happy to pile on, and turned an 80-year-old into the villain of the day for refusing to join the mob. And she has said nothing.
People keep telling you this is about politics. It isn’t.
He decided in advance that a certain kind of person is fair game, and once you’ve made that decision, the age stops mattering and the decency stops mattering.
He looked at an 80-year-old woman who had just asked if he was okay and saw a Jew, or in this case an ally to Jews. That was all he needed.
They came for her on her way home, with her husband beside her, and the likes rolled in. This is a Tuesday for them. The only difference today is that you saw it.
Iranians are still looking for loved ones and collecting bodies for funerals and there is a possible “20 yr agreement” with the regime that killed and continues to kill Iranians..
Riverside Park NYC this weekend: chilling graffiti openly inciting violence against Jews.
"Kill a Jew, Go to Heaven"
How did a city once seen as a safe haven for Jewish life allow this level of open hatred to take root?

“We don’t turn off menorahs. We don’t hide kippahs. We stand proud and loud.”
When Sydney Chabad emissary Sorella Abrahams returned from the Bondi Beach Chanukah attack, her children cried and begged to turn off the menorahs in their home, fearing they would become a target.
The next day, a Christian neighbor told Sorella her daughter called and sobbed, “They’re turning off their menorahs. This evil can’t win.”
And Sorella and Rabbi Aycee knew in that moment that they would never turn off the lights again. Rabbi Eli Schlanger’s final message before his murder was to fight antisemitism by spreading light.
That’s how we clear the darkness. That’s how we rise above. ✡️❤️🩹
The Israeli American Council criticized Oprah Winfrey for what it called a “misguided” response to the terror attack at a Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach in Sydney, saying her public comments failed to acknowledge that Jews were specifically targeted.
