[Love Conquers Fear @LCFpodcast]

We're shaped by survival, but not limited by it. @nblumofe says #fear is woven into being human. Life's fragile and unpredictable, and that shapes how we move. But we can rise above it. #Courage begins when we see the fear—without letting it define what comes next. (link in bio)

[Love Conquers Fear @LCFpodcast]

What happens when you stop trying to #control everything? The magic starts when you let go and trust the moment. @nblumofe brings that into his work as a rabbi — #connection begins the moment you release control and open to something bigger. (link in bio)

[Lloyd Doggett @RepLloydDoggett]

Joyous Hanukkah celebration with our longtime friends, Michael Whellan and Margaret Menucucci with special words from Rabbi Blumoff. Enjoyed the musical talents of Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour.

[Benyamin Cohen @benyamincohen]

Texas is deciding this week whether to incorporate a controversial curriculum that would offer public schools Bible-infused math lessons, with a strong emphasis on Christianity — and a strange fascination with Queen Esther. Here's the bizarre story I wrote about it >

[Jewish Dems @USJewishDems]

JDCA congratulates @LatimerforNY on his overwhelming victory in the NY-16 Democratic primary.

George Latimer shares the values of Jewish voters and brings decades of experience to NY-16. We look forward to working with him in Congress.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

In real time, we are watching hatred of Jews become socially acceptable like it did in Nazi Germany.

It’s not just for loons, but elected officials, academics, and celebrities.

Because there aren’t any consequences for inciting violence against Jews, there’s no reason to stop.

[Tamer Masudin @TMasudin]

Jews attacked in LA, Toronto, Paris, Maastricht and London.
Synagogues are burned in Derbent, Florida, El Hamma (Tunisia) and Yerevan.

Still think it's about Palestine?
Think again.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

Some points regarding the overnight Iranian missile attack on Israel:

1. Contrary to what pundits are saying, this wasn’t designed merely as “bells and whistles” with no damage.

When you shoot 350 flying objects timed to hit Israel at the same moment,
when you use three fundamentally different weapon types—cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and UAVs,
you’re looking to penetrate Israel’s defenses and kill Israelis.

2. The US administration is telling us: “This is a victory, you’ve already won by thwarting the missiles.
No need for any further action.”
No, it’s NOT a victory.
Yes, it’s a remarkable success of Israel’s air defense systems, but it’s not a victory.

When a bully tries to hit you 350 times and only succeeds seven time, you’ve NOT won.

You don’t win wars just by intercepting your enemy’s hits, nor do you deter it.
Your enemy will just try harder with more and better weapons and methods next time.
How DO you deter?
By exacting a deeply painful price.

3. It’s incorrect to say “nobody got hurt”.
There’s a 7 year-old Israeli-Arab girl called Amina Elhasuny fighting for her life.
That’s who coward Khamenei hit.

4. The Islamic Republic of Iran made a big mistake.
For the past 30 years it’s been wreaking havoc on the region—through its proxies.
A terror-octopus whose head is Tehran, and its tentacles are in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Gaza.

How convenient.
The Mullahs send others to conduct horrendous terror attacks, and die for them.
Other people’s blood.

Israel’s strategic mistake for the past 30 years was to play along this strategy.
We always fought the Octopus’ arms, but hardly exacted a price from its Iranian head.
This should change now:
Hezbollah or Hamas shoots a rocket at Israel?
Tehran pays a price.

5. The enemy is the Iranian REGIME, not the wonderful Iranian people.
The Iranian regime reminds me of the Soviet regime in 1985: corrupt to the core, old, incompetent, despised by its own people, and destined to collapse.
The sooner the better.
The West can accelerate the regime’s inevitable collapse with a set of soft and clever actions, short of military force.
Remember, USSR collapsed without any need for a direct American attack.
Let’s do this.

6. Israel is fighting everybody’s war. In Gaza, Lebanon and Tehran.
We’re considered “the small satan” by radical Islam. America is the big one.

I’ll be clear: if these crazy fanatic Islamic terrorists get away with murder by hiding among civilians, this method will be adopted by terrorists worldwide.

We’re not asking anyone to fight for us. We’ll do the job.
But we do expect our allies to have our back, especially when it’s tough—and now it’s tough.

Be on the right side and help us defeat these horrible and savage regimes.

[Rɪᴄʜᴀʀᴅ Kᴇᴍᴘ ⋁ @COLRICHARDKEMP]

Ground breaking and unprecedented resolution in the EU Parliament, placing EU firmly on Israel’s side, conditioning a ceasefire in Gaza on the dismantling of the Hamas terrorist organization and release of all hostages.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

January 14th, 2023

Russia strikes a residential high-rise building in Dnipro with a missile built to sink aircraft carriers.

Most of the building collapses.

72 apartments disappear
46 civilians are murdered.

Why wasn’t there a protest march in London?

[Eytan Halon @eytanhalon]

A wish for 2024?

I have 129 wishes and they’re all the same.

#BringThemHomeNow

[neil blumofe @nblumofe]

50 is an initial payment on the moral imperative. Our hearts continue to break. As George Orwell has written: war is evil, but it is often the lesser evil. Defeat Hamas. Bring them all home now.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

The Palestinians who will be released in the hostage deal are terrorists who were tried and convicted in court.

The Israelis who will be freed are civilians who were ripped from their homes by Hamas terrorists.

Don’t for a second believe this is an even swap.

[Michael Granoff @mikejgr]

More than one out of every fifty Jews in the world was at #MarchForIsrael in Washington today.

Think about that. One out of every 50 in the world!

[Mijal Bitton @mijalbitton]

Our message to NYU and our communities is clear: we are strong, we are not afraid, we are outraged by supporters of terror and we join with good people everywhere to fight back!
