Incredibly moving performance this evening by Eden Golan at the Tel Aviv Hostages Square rally, performing โOctober Rainโ, the original version of โHurricaneโ that was deemed too political for Eurovision.
For months, people have spoken in our name.
Now, Jewish students at Columbia speak for ourselves. Listen to what we have to say โคต๏ธ

This what's happening at @Columbia right now.
I know it's confusing, so let me spell it out for you:
(a) Terrorism is an ideology.
(b) They are openly supporting terror.
(c) They are terrorists.
Terrorists have taken over Columbia University.
The government needs to take over @Columbia.
This is important. Repost if you agree.

I've seen and shared many disturbing videos over the past six months, but I've never seen anything like this.
These were the sights today in New York City. Not in Rafah. Not in Kabul. In New York City.
This is domestic terrorism.
(a thread)
Jews are the indigenous population of the land today called Israel.
The Hebrews first claimed the land of Israel about 1300 BCE, living as 12 tribes until being united into one under King Saul.
King David, the second king, established Jerusalem as the capital around 1000 BCE. โก The City of David can be explored today. @cityofdavid.
Davidโs son, King Solomon, built the First Temple for the Jews in 957 BCE. The Second Temple was constructed in 515 BCE. A wall of this temple remains today.
Then, the kingdom was divided into two. The northern kingdom (Israel) lasted until 722 BCE when the Assyrians destroyed it. The southern kingdom (Judah) was taken over by the Babylonian conquest in 586 BCE.
Israelites or Judeans or Jews or Hebrews -- all words describing the same group of natives -- maintained a presence in their homeland throughout the diaspora. Then, in the 1800s, the Jews in the Disapora started a movement to return to their homeland -- Zionism.
For comparison, the Muslims' Al-Aqsa Mosque was built during the Arabic caliphate's colonization and Islamification of the land, on top of the Second Temple, in 691 CE--which was over 1,600 years after the Jews first built their temple.
The reason that the Islamic mosque was built directly on top of the Jewish Second Temple was a symbol of the Islamic conquest of the region and its colonization of Jewish culture.
While Jews are the indigenous natives of the land, the Arabs are the colonizers of that land.
Calling Jews "colonizers" is not just wrong it's historically illiterate.

It's only happened six times in this history of our program, and on Jan. 2, 2019 Riley Casey became the last Lion to knock down 7๏ธโฃ threes in one game on her way to a career-high 31 points.

He had to share the spotlight in his senior season of high school. He wasn't given the chance to consistently be Kansas' No. 1 RB. Now, Khalil Herbert is getting his opportunity with the #Hokies, and he's been better than anybody in the nation https://t.co/4J2ahidkKD
