Happy Hanukkah!
May we draw inspiration from the memory of the Maccabees, whose commitment to Jewish liberation resonates powerfully in our own time.
Freedom over fear.
Courage over cowardice.
Pride over shame.
This is Doron. A veterinarian nurse with a true passion for animals, she is always the first to help. On October 7, Doron was abducted by Hamas terrorists from southern Israel and dragged into Gaza. She's been there ever since.

"There's just been a double standard in the way university leaders have responded to racism, to other forms of prejudice, and the way they've responded to what is pretty clearly antisemitism." - Larry Summers, Former Harvard University President
CRY WITH ME. 5-year-old Israeli Emilia Aloni, who spent nearly 2 months as a hostage in Gaza and was released on November 24th, returned to her kindergarten in Israel today and reunited with her friends and teacher. An I ncredible moment of light after such a dark experience.💙
Liz Cheney: "Trump is not an acceptable alternative. He is not the lesser of two evils. He is a completely unfit man for office. He's already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again."
No, not Germany of 1933, #Philadelphia 2023. Pure unadulterated Nazi tactics to intimidate peaceful Jews. #Hamas genocidal narrative on full display on the streets of democracies in the USA.
Today, we are seeing the same kind of mass dehumanization of the #Jewish people that enabled the #Holocaust - though, we are no longer defenseless.
For the American Jewish students at Cornell, #Columbia, and other campuses where Pro-#Hamas protestors are spouting anti-Semitic hatred, remember that #Israel is your home.

Yes Gal. The silence by women’s groups about Hamas’ rapes, mutilation and murder of Jewish women and girls - is beyond racist. Everyone saw the Hamas footage. Everyone heard the accounts. There can be no excuse.
CNN host and pro-Israel zealot @DanaBashCNN claimed "we saw" Hamas raping Israeli women on Oct 7, despite no video or direct testimony, and deployed the Israeli govt psy-op to shut down @PramilaJayapal every time she mentioned Israeli war crimes
Unsurprisingly, Jayapal folded
When asked about why there hasn’t been more outrage about Hamas’s rape of Israeli women Rep Jayapal says sexual violence should be condemned but “we have to be balanced” in our condemnation.
.@DanaBashCNN to Jayapal: "With respect, I was just asking about the women [who were raped], & you turned it back to Israel."
Jayapal's demand for "balance" is extraordinary--as Bash points out, no evidence exists of IDF soldiers raping Palestinian women.
There’s no “but” @RepJayapal. Hamas is using rape & sexual violence against women as weapons of war and Jayapal had neither the decency, fairness, or courage to unequivocally condemn what Hamas did. She had to say “but.”
Good on @DanaBashCNN for pushing her.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal on CNN on condemning Hamas's sexual violence: "I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians."
Dana Bash replies, "You don't see Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian women."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal is an absolute monster who loathes Israel & Jews.
She repeatedly & falsely accuses Israel of "indiscriminately" targeting civilians & hospitals.
Dana Bash asked about Israeli women being raped & Jayapal pivots to attacking Israel. Bash calls her out.
Good on @DanaBashCNN to continually press @RepJayapal on condemning Hamas’ horrific sexual violence against Israeli women. Jayapal repeatedly said she spoke out specifically against the sexual violence but has apparently not done so, at least on X. (1/2)
