🥐 Bakery closes in Berlin due to antisemitic harassment
Married couple Shahar Elkin and Marcin Liera-Elkin, who ran two branches of Babka & Krantz in the German capital, said staff had been subjected to “constant verbal abuse” in the wake of the October 7 attacks.
A Berlin hummus bar called Kanaan, which was jointly owned by an Israeli and a Palestinian, has also closed in the aftermath of October 7.

An anti-Zionist Jew wrote about how awful Zionism is. Then her interview was cancelled suddenly.
Instead of support, the people she's marketing to told her "to go to hell for trying to salvage the Jewish image during Judeo Nazism at large."
This is what gets me about anti-Zionist Jews. They are absolutely free to believe what they want, but when we tell them that there are anti-Zionists using Zionism as an excuse to be antisemitic they never believe us.
And, every single time, they have to learn the hard way, usually after trying to throw Zionist Jews under the bus.
Because, to some, there is no such thing as a good Jew.
A Jewish woman was choked and had her hair ripped out of her head because of the never-ending barrage of blood libel in the media, and everyone wants to continue pretending that antisemitism is not a problem.
The assailant has been charged, but true justice isn't just reactive; it's proactive. We need these things to never happen again, not just to see the perpetrators punished.
The Bund is fascinating but this review like Bund itself is a triumph of wish over reality. Bundists who werent killed by Hitler were shot by Stalin inc Alter Erlich Feffer Markish Bergelson many in the Night of Murdered Poets 1952. A dangerous world. Yet oddly the review just says: ‘Bund ceased operating in 1949.’
Dieses Trolling des israelischen Außenministeriums bringt die beispiellose Hysterie der vergangenen Tage, und auch den linksextremen Antisemitismus der spanischen Regierung, nicht schlecht auf den Punkt.
Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

Both true. But the fourth story down the NYT homepage? And the only Iran story on the homepage? Anemic, misleading, and a poor excuse for reporting. (Currently reading Citizens so I couldn’t not think of the parallel. @simon_schama)
The Free Palestine crowd can’t use Google anymore:
Google officially partnered with Tel Aviv University for a massive 3-year AI research program worth millions of dollars. The program will pioneer the next generation of Language Models and Data Science in Tel Aviv University. The world’s biggest tech giant is doubling down on Israeli innovation.
This is absolutely sickening to listen to.
We have professors literally repeating blood libel in the classrooms. The blood libel that led to pogroms, exiles, and the holocaust.
This demonizing of Jews isn't even a little bit related to the conflict, and if you won't call it out because you think that it is, you are part of the problem.
And, wouldn't you know it, this professor, Dr. Samar Maqusi, spent years working at UNRWA. What a surprise.
