The horrific acts of Antisemitism this week – including a demonstration celebrating the 10/7 attack, vandalism targeting Jewish homes, attacks on Jewish faculty at college campuses, and harassment of subway riders – are abhorrent.

Antisemitism doesn't just threaten Jewish Americans. It threatens all Americans, and our fundamental democratic values.

[Benjamin Abella, MD MPhil @BenjaminAbella]

As a medical school professor, I spoke yesterday at a #upenn session with President, Provost and others.

Here is what I said, a plea to American academia on behalf of Jewish students, staff and faculty.

Thank you, Justin.

[Justin Reid @JustinqReid]

This 🤬 is SAD man! Kids are being shot and somebody didn’t come home tonight. We cannot allow this to be normal. We cannot ourselves to become numb and chalk it up to “just another shooting in America” and reduce people in statistics and then move on tmrw.

This is a SERIOUS PROBLEM!! I pray our leaders enact real solutions so our kids’ kids won’t know this violence.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Just like we drew it up.

@bobbystroupe Bobby, no AIRBNB, but we have an extra room at The English Hotel (Autograph Collection) you’re welcome to it. Shoot me a DM…

[Michael Bondar @michaelvbondar]

Never again.

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

Entire families obliterated for one reason: they were Jewish.

Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we commemorate the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

We promise to remember them today and always.

[Noa Tishby @noatishby]

HOW DARE YOU @GretaThunberg. How DARE you call for ethnically cleansing the Jewish people from our ancestral land?? You know nothing. No history, no reality, no truth. So I have this to say to you.

Israel is not a colonialist state – it’s a refugee state which was literally decolonized from Britain.

The majority of Israeli Jews are people of color, whose families were ethnically cleansed from other parts of the Middle East.

Throughout history, the only indigenous sovereign entities to exist in the land have been Jewish states.

Jews originate from the land, derive our religion and our practices from it and despite centuries of exile and displacement have always kept an unbroken presence there.

And you Greta Thunberg, are chanting “crush Zionism” on the streets of Sweden.

Zionism is the Jewish people exercising our right to self-determination in some parts of our only historic, ancestral and indigenous homeland.

Hamas showed us on October 7 what “crushing Zionism” looks like and you want to cheer that on Greta?

Greta Thunberg, if I can borrow your famous phrase, “how dare you!”

But this is how antisemitism works – Find what is most evil to you, and blame it on the Jews, or today - on the Jewish state.

I can understand that younger generations in western societies feel guilty about the evils of colonialism.

But Israel’s history is not your history, and whatever guilt you feel, supporting the massacre of Jews in their ancestral land will not wash away the sins of your fathers. When your ancestors were colonizing the world, my ancestors were being slaughtered by Cossacks.

We were dreaming – next year in Jerusalem – of building a life raft in our homeland. We fled genocidal violence in Europe. We were ethnically cleansed from Arab countries all over the Middle East. And we built a liberal, democratic Jewish state. That is not a colonial enterprise.

Zionism is not a colonial enterprise – Zionism is the decolonization movement of the Jewish people.
And to anyone who cannot accept our presence or who slanders Israel as something it is not, we are here to say: “how dare you.”

[Kylie Ora Lobell @kylieoralobell]

A lot of people ask me, "Do you have any family in Israel?"

Yes, I do. I have 7 million family members there.

[Lidar Gravé-Lazi @LidarGL]

We have now reached a point where history is repeating itself.

Attacks against Jewish students on college campuses and against Jewish owned businesses are rampant.

Jewish homes and property are being labeled with a Star of David.

Marches against Jews are taking place in cities worldwide.

The West is once again appeasing an evil and radical regime.

#NeverAgain is happening again.

"We say never again, but now it's here we go again."

Listen to 17 year old Dorin as she tries to make us understand the heatbreak and pain of millions of Israelis right now.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The United States stands with Israel in the aftermath of the acts of sheer evil perpetrated by Hamas.

[Michael Bondar @michaelvbondar]

Proud to be a fan of a team that stands and speaks up for what’s right and against terrorism.

[Jori Epstein @JoriEpstein]

More Jews were killed Saturday than on any day since the Holocaust in 1945.

The NFL and 12 teams have since condemned Hamas's terrorist attacks.

I didn't expect such solidarity and support. So often in Jewish history, we've found silence. I'm grateful:
