Nova Music Festival survivor Millet Ben Haim and Hannie Ricardo, mother of Oriya Litman Ricardo, who was murdered in the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack, sit down with @MooreintheAM and share their stories of that harrowing day. https://t.co/CnU6I2XseR
Apparently there’s been some confusion about @Fontainebleau regarding Jewish people so I interviewed every visibly Jewish guest I could find. The consensus here is that this place is nothing but an absolute safe haven for Jews.
People like him restore my faith in humanity.
Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, has announced plans to air $7 million ‘Stand Up to Jewish Hate’ commercials during this Sunday’s Super Bowl.
The ads will be narrated by Dr. Clarence Jones, the speechwriter for Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
The ads call on viewers to stand up against antisemitism, particularly amidst the hostility towards Israel and Jews in American universities during the Gaza war.
Light in the darkness ❤️

“What’s harsh — what’s harsh is the way Hamas is using people as human shields... What's harsh, is dropping in on a music festival and slaughtering a bunch of young people just trying to enjoy an afternoon. I could go on and on. That's what's harsh.”
OMG I can't believe I'm saying this, but....go John Kirby?
TV Globo’s @RKrahenbuhl: “So, besides saying that he doesn't have confidence in these numbers, the President went further to say that innocents will die and that this is the price of the war. You also said that.”
Kirby: “I have indeed.”
Krähenbühl: “Don't you think this is insensitive? There’s being very harsh criticism in about it. For example, the Council of American-Islamic Relations said it was deeply disturbed and call on the President to apologize. Would the President apologize?”
Kirby: “No.”
Krähenbühl: “And does he regret saying something like that?”
Kirby: “What’s harsh — what’s harsh is the way Hamas is using people as human shields. What’s harsh is taking a couple of hundred hostages and leaving families and anxious, waiting and worrying to figure out where their loved ones are. What's harsh, is dropping in on a music festival and slaughtering a bunch of young people just trying to enjoy an afternoon. I could go on and on. That's what's harsh. That is what's harsh and being honest about the fact that there have been civilian casualties and that there likely will be more is being honest, because that's what war is. It's brutal. It's ugly. It's messy. I've said that before. President also said that yesterday. Doesn't mean we have to like it. And it doesn't mean that we're dismissing anyone of those casualties each and every one is a tragedy in its own right...It would be helpful if Hamas would let [Gazans] leave....We know that there are thousands waiting to leave Gaza writ large and Hamas is preventing them from doing it. That is what is harsh.”
"We have to face a truth that many of us have refused to for too long. We are not one giant human family. There are monsters among us."
Today, I gave the most important speech of my career before 100 FL legislators. We stand with #Israel. TY @Paul_Renner@Kathleen4SWFL.
Big thanks to the @Nationals for hosting a special delegation of bereaved military families from Israel who are here for the @TAPSorg National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp. ⚾️🇺🇸 @IDFWidowOrphan
It’s been 77 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.
The #Holocaust didn’t start with death camps.
It started with the delegitimization and dehumanization of Jews, while everyone looked the other way.
Today, we remember. #NeverAgain#HolocaustMemorialDay#cdnpoli
Today we were pleased to present a special program on #antisemitism to @JusticeCanadaEN. More than 140 people learned about historical and modern antisemitism, including here in Canada, and how to be an ally to the Jewish community in the fight against virulent Jew-hate.
