Congratulations to @CarlMichaelW on his election to the @NYCCouncil. Carl beat a @DemSocialists candidate endorsed by @NYCMayor@ZohranKMamdani by delivering for the people of his district by working and delivering for them. He will be an outstanding addition to the Council under the incredible @SpeakerMenin.
It’s high time to cut the rope and go straight to the point.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist organization and it must be treated as such. Not only through sanctions against the Khomeinist Republic, but by officially calling it by its true name and listing it among terrorist organizations, as the United States and Canada have already done.
Not only because we stand firm with Israel and with the peace-seeking brotherly Arab countries.
Not only because we support the United States in militarily supporting Israel today under the leadership of President Donald Trump.
Not only because the European Union, through President Ursula von der Leyen, has once again underlined today the murderous nature of the Tehran regime.
But first and foremost, on a day like this, when acts, not just words, are required, in honoring the endless innocent victims of the bloody Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Albania has faced firsthand the barbaric face of the Tehran regime through its cyber aggressions against our country. For us, this is not abstract geopolitics. It is national security, moral and legal clarity.
Albania will act accordingly. We will call the Revolutionary Guard what it is and list it among terrorist organizations, and we call upon our European friends to do the same.
We fully endorse every decisive effort to prevent once and for all the murderers in Tehran from acquiring nuclear or any other military capacity to harm Israel or any other peace-loving nation in the Middle East.
Terrorism must be named. And once named, it must be stopped.
No Surprise here.. @NYCMayor@ZohranKMamdani is an antisemite who props up, elevates, and supports other antisemites and pathetic self-hating Jews. He keeps proving this again time after time…
I mean, did anyone miss the memo that @NYCMayor / @ZohranKMamdani is an antisemite??? Is it s surprise that his staff are antisemites or self-hating Jews as well?
NEW from me
Álvaro López — Zohran Mamdani's Brooklyn Borough Director — once called pro-Hamas activists tearing down signs of missing Israeli hostages "heroes" in a now-deleted post on X
@shashj Where are the protests of support on British streets for the victims of Iran, as we see for Gaza?
Where are the right-on celebrities clutching at their pearls & demanding action?
Where are the usual suspects on their pod-casts & social media posts?
Their silence is stunning.
Few things are more infuriating than watching those who spread, encourage and defend rhetoric that incites antisemitic violence pretend to condemn antisemitic violence.
You fool no one.
The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing.
While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.
On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.
@MrMikeBlake This is Hypocrite Opportunist @MrMikeBlake@blake4thebronx HEADLINING an AIPAC event, and then going to Israel to visit the Israeli Parliament to express solidarity. Blake stands for nothing but what’s best for him.
Daily Reminder that @MrMikeBlake / @blake4thebronx is someone who cannot be trusted, & is an opportunist with no sincere ideology. He's a hypocrite, which is why he keeps losing elections - people know not to trust him. Here's a photo of him cheering on Bibi in Israel.
