@NYPDPC @MikeBloomberg @NYPDnews Thank you for all your efforts in keeping us all safe.

[Jessica S. Tisch @NYPDPC]

Beautiful day marching up Fifth Avenue with @MikeBloomberg for the annual Israel Day Parade.

The NYPD was not messing around with security: this was the most extensive security plan that the NYPD has ever put together for this event so that everyone could celebrate safely.

Thank you to every member of the NYPD who was out today protecting our city.

In Auschwitz, my mother taught me three rules.

Not stories. Not prayers. Rules. The kind that kept you alive.

Rule one: Never make eye contact with a guard.
Rule two: Never show that you are sick.
Rule three: Never, ever, lose your bowl.

I was five years old. I memorized them the way other children memorize nursery rhymes.

The bowl was a small tin thing. Dented. Scratched. It held whatever thin soup they gave us once a day. If you lost your bowl, you had no bowl. If you had no bowl, you had no ration. If you had no ration, you understand.

I guarded that bowl with everything I had. I slept with it. I held it against my chest during roll call. I knew where it was every second of every day.

Then one morning, I fell into the latrine.

There is no delicate way to say this. The latrines in Auschwitz were wooden boards with holes cut into them over a pit. The holes were large. I was very small. I was in a hurry. I slipped.

I went in up to my neck.

The smell. The cold. The rats. I do not need to describe it. Your mind already knows.

My mother tried to pull me out. She could not. I was slippery and she had no strength. None of us had strength. We had not eaten properly in months. She called out. Other women came. Together they pulled me free. Someone found a hose. They sprayed me down in the cold air while I stood there shaking.

I did not cry. Rule number one in Auschwitz was the same rule everywhere, do not attract attention.

But I got sick. Very sick. The kind of sick that comes from rats and filth and cold water and a body that has nothing left to fight with.

And I remembered Rule Two, never show that you are sick.

I hid it from everyone. From the guards. From the other children. Even from my mother, because I knew if she knew, she would do something. And doing something in Auschwitz got you killed.

But someone saw. I do not know who. I do not know why they helped me instead of reporting me. I never knew.

They took me to a room, a makeshift hospital. I lay in a bed, a real bed, not a wooden bunk, for the first time since we had arrived.

I do not remember much of what happened next. The fever blurred everything. Days passed like smoke.

When I came out, I still had my bowl.

I had held it even in the latrine. Even in the fever. Even in the dark when I did not know where I was or what day it was.

My mother looked at me when I came back. She looked at the bowl. She did not say anything. She just nodded, the way she nodded when something had gone the way it needed to go.

People ask me what survival looks like.

I tell them, sometimes it looks like a five year old girl climbing out of a latrine in a death camp, covered in filth, shaking with cold, still holding her tin bowl.

Because she knew that the bowl was the difference between eating and not eating. Between living and not.

Because her mother had told her. And she had listened.

I am Tova Friedman. I fell into a latrine in Auschwitz at five years old.

I came out still holding my bowl.

Tova.

@benshapiro May his neshama have a speedy Aliya. He was rightcheous among the nations for sure

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.

@EYakoby Maybe they had limited knowledge of Palestinian people because they are an invented people with no history, culture, no common language, and never had their own country.

[OSO @Osorocks]

@travelingclatt Airplane Hijacking?

[Tal Oran @travelingclatt]

Name a Palestinian invention.
Genuinely, name one.

[OSO @Osorocks]

@SenSchumer We can all be very relieved! Schumer is monitoring the situation!

[OSO @Osorocks]

@AlanDersh So sorry for your loss. While u don’t know me well, we sit next to each other at PE synagogue on the HH. May his neshama have a speedy Aliyah and may you and your family know only happiness and no more sorrow. BDE.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Don’t believe the propaganda: The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is 100% the fault of Hamas and its enablers in the UN.

[Jake Novak @jakejakeny]

Hamas is out of working rocket launchers, so the new strategy is launching a steady stream of lies about starvation, civilian casualties, & damage to Christian sites. The new launchers are the NYT, CNN, & large influencer accounts on social media. It’s as clear as day.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I am not opposed to your being mayor due to your religion and I have never suggested that. Nor have I ever said that you are not an American or should be silenced. These are all false narratives that you are trying to create.

To the contrary, I have been doing my best to amplify and repost your own speeches, words, and posts, in particular, those you made prior to your attempting to become our mayor.

I believe in the maxim to trust what the man said and did before he seeks office. Not his dismissal of things he said and did in the years prior that would make him unelectable now.

I am opposed to you being mayor because your policies will be extremely damaging to NYC and all of its residents, in particular the most vulnerable New Yorkers.

Your anti-NYPD defund-the-police historical advocacy will lead to an increase in crime, particularly in the poorest neighborhoods in the City. The NYPD’s confidence that the mayor has their back is critical for successful policing of crime. Recent progress on crime will be lost and greatly reversed if you become mayor. To state the obvious, being and feeling safe are critical to our city’s safety, health and vibrancy.

NYC’s reputation as a place to do business is critical for companies maintaining and growing their presence here and for job growth in NYC. It is remarkable that you don’t understand that socialism is a failed economic model that has destroyed every country and city that has gone down its path.

A mayor committed to socialism will be the death-knell for NYC’s economy. Construction will come to a halt. Businesses will relocate or move their expansions to other cities. Our largest tax payers will leave, decimating the tax base.

You say you don’t want billionaires and other wealthy NYC residents. You will get what you ask for, and the city will suffer the deficits that come from their exodus.

And yes, your unwillingness to condemn calls for a global intifada speaks volumes about you how will manage and support the diverse ethnic groups that make up our great multicultural city.

It could not be more telling that your post attempts to suggest that I am opposed to you because of your religion when I have said nothing about your religion or ethnic background. Meanwhile you fail to condemn calls for the murder of Jews around the world.

How would you feel if the future mayor of NYC failed to condemn calls for the murder of your people?

What if he failed to condemn calls for the murder of the black community, Catholics or Hindus?

Is that the mayor you would want or that NYC deserves?

I’m an Iranian, shame on you traitor for being the mouthpiece of terrorists. This regime put me in jail when I was 16 and tortured me, shot down passenger plane full of innocent civilians, has oppressed the Iranian people for the past 46 years and has been shouting death to America and death to Israel for same time. Hey @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @CIADirector how is Tucker Carlson’s son Buckey Carlson working in the White House while his father is in bed with Islamic terrorists?

[OSO @Osorocks]

@TuckerCarlson So thankful disgraced Tucker is off of Fox ans not on any major network. This antisemitic conspiracy theory cook has no place on our discourse except as an example of what a hater who sees everything thru a conspiracy prism.

[yael🦎 @birdhonks]

Israel isn’t dragging anyone into world war 3. Israel is doing the dirty work so there is no world war 3.

@TuckerCarlson Tucker has always been garbage

BREAKING:

There are two Harvard students who physically accosted a Jewish classmate on campus.

The first assailant was rewarded a $65,000 by Harvard Law School fellowship to work at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

As of this week, the second assailant was rewarded the honor of class marshall by Harvard Divinity School at the upcoming graduation ceremony and university-wide commencement.

Although numerous Harvard students filed complaints, noting how inappropriate it is to reward a student who was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and complete an anger management program for a 2023 assault on a Jewish student, Harvard has defended the decision.

For all the talk on Trump's actions against Harvard, there has been little talk of Harvard refusing to change.

To all researchers who have had their grants cancelled and foreign students who are facing deportations, your anger at Trump is misplaced.

You should IMMEDIATELY email the offices of the Harvard leadership and bang on their doors tomorrow morning until you get a meeting. You deserve reform!

I know for a fact the Department of Education, DHS, and the Antisemitism Task Force would like to meet, but it is Harvard that is digging in deeper.

[OSO @Osorocks]

@MEMECOINCHAD @SkyNews U mean the biggest threat to terrorists. Correct
