@Brianteta With the news of Tupperware’s bankruptcy, there’s a unique personal angle I think would resonate with your audience. My grandfather was CEO for 20 yrs during the company’s heyday, empowering 1000s of women to reach their potential. I’m writing a book about this era.
I would love your support to provide the 407 children who lost one or both parents on #October7 with the necessary funds to help them not only survive - but THRIVE. Please join me in supporting the @ilchildrensfund . 🙏❤️

I simply cannot fathom the moral rot in someone's soul that leads them to win an award for a movie about the Holocaust and with the platform given to them, to accept that award by saying, "We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness."
@Jason Join us in rebuilding the lives of Israeli children who have lost one or both of their parents to the #hamasattack https://t.co/JwxsbKcRLt We would love your support!
Many years ago, when I was still a Member of Knesset on behalf of the Labor Party I was sent on a mission to the European Parliament to meet with our “fellow” socialist members (that’s when I still naively thought that the socialist left was the ally of Israeli Labor…). After leaving one meeting with a senior member from Germany who spent the entire meeting lamenting Israeli evil, I turned to the Israeli EU Embassy staff member and said: “I get it, it’s clear, they still can’t handle what they did to the Jewish people, and so they need to find a way to cleanse their sins by retroactively projecting onto Israel all of their sins. So let’s just be done with it, we’ll tell them we forgive them in return of them just leaving us alone.” The wise staff person responded, “but you know what will happen: they’ll pocket our forgiveness and keep projecting their sins on us. They need this too much to let go”.
And this is the context for the the complete submission of so many on the left in media and politics to the Hamas lie that it was Israeli attacks (no, it was another Gaza terrorist group - Islamic Jihad) that destroyed a hospital (it didn’t, not even close, it was the parking lot) and led to hundreds of innocent dead (the figure is not grounded in anything).
For eleven days now, pillars of the global left from the “Squad” to Corbyn to many in the media had to deal with the collapse of their entire theology, which placed unique Israeli/Zionist/Evil at the core of their worldview. Without this one certainty of their political lives they do not know how to be in this world. It is the one idea that gives sense and order to who they are.
But the glee with which Hamas terrorists and “ordinary Palestinians” (remember Daniel Goldhagen’s “Ordinary Germans” also known as “Hitler’s Willing Executioners”?) proceeded to engage in the greatest possible atrocities against families and people of all ages from babies to grandparents, was to them first and foremost a massacre of their entire theology. They did not know who they were anymore without “Evil Israel”. They especially could not handle the terrifying possibility that evil lies on the Palestinian side - the people whom they have elevated to Jesus like sacrificial and saintly status.
And so the lie handed to them by Hamas that included all the elements they needed - Israeli evil, innocent Palestinian victims - allowed them to restore their theology. All was right with the world again. Israel/Zionism/Jews were thereby restored to their proper place in their theology as the epitomes of unique evil.
This is the reason why the intense energy released was not simple of tribal loyalty, or “anti-Israel bias”. Rather, it was the collective relief of people whose entire worldview was endangered for eleven long days, and which they - thanks to the failure of Islamic Jihad and the lies of Hamas - could finally restore.
These are all members of the same family, 10 of them, all being held captive by Hamas.
Take a minute and let that sink in.
Children, mothers, grandparents, all been taken from their homes and not heard from since last Saturday

@GretaThunberg Do you think @elonmusk is so brilliant that he reinstated Tate just for this seminal exchange with @GretaThunberg to occur and make @Twitter relevant again? If so, I, for one, am grateful!
This campaign ad has triggered Republicans in a way that I have never seen before. Take a moment and watch it. If you think that a Democrat being elected Attorney General of Florida is devastating news for Ron DeSantis please give it a retweet.
Georgia residents 17+, Georgia is having a runoff Jan 5 to decide who their 2 new senators will be. If those senators go blue Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader. You have until Dec 7 to register to vote. Retweet to share even if you don’t live in GA.
@united I’m already rebooked. Just voicing my frustration that beyond rebooking my husband & I on completely different flights, once I finally got a representative on the line that helped me she said she was doing me a “favor” by booking me in extra legroom seats - seats that I PAID for!
@united Last night’s cancelled flight from TLV to SFO was a textbook case of being unprepared! Not only was it avoidable - but the nonexistent communication about what came next created chaos for everyone involved!
