DISGUSTING: Queens College in New York will offer a course labeling the Hebrew Bible as "texts of terror," linking its stories to accusations of genocide by Israel.

This wouldn't be tolerated with any other religious text—newsflash: every scripture contains gruesome stories.

Breaking: Former President Bill Clinton, while in Michigan on the Israel-Hamas war:

“If you live in one of those kibbutzim in Israel, next to Gaza, where people there were the most pro-two-state solution, and Hamas butchered them…what would you do if it were your family?”

“I haven’t seen any Jewish people in America running up on mosques with Israeli flags.

Protest a policy, not a people. What we saw outside of the synagogue in LA is a pogrom.”

Thank you @VanJones68

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

If there were a hateful protest against a Black Church or a Latino Church, we would not attempt to “explain” it. We would condemn it.

If there were a hateful protest against a mosque, we would not attempt to “explain" it. We would condemn it.

Why do we, as a society, feel the need to “explain” a hateful protest against a synagogue in Los Angeles?

The attempt to justify unjustifiable attacks against Jews is its own form of antisemitism.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Hamas says 45 civilians were killed at an UNRWA school. The IDF says only Hamas terrorists who participated in the October 7th massacre were targeted as they used a specific area of the school to shelter.

According to international law, if a school is used to hide combatants, it loses its protection and becomes a legitimate target.

Why does the global media always default to Hamas's narrative?

Sure, don't blindly trust the IDF, but don't blindly trust a genocidal rapist terror group, either.

[Hussain Abdul-Hussain @hahussain]

When they trusted the world and its humanity, they lost one third of their population. Jews in the Muslim world are treated as second degree citizens since forever. It’s not like if Jews drop Zionism, the world will treat them fair and equal. If it did, I’d be the first to ask them to abandon it.
Unlike Soho NYC or Castro SF where everyone sips an $8 filtered coffee flown in from Columbia and lectures the world about fighting global warming, the world is still unfair and a harsh place.
Only recently (60 years ago) that the very few multiethnic states (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) started treating their own tribes equally.
Don’t ask Jews to live in an imaginary utopia that doesn’t exist.

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

More than 250 Jewish students at Columbia have signed this open letter.

If you have 5 minutes today, take the time to read it. Because the sentiments it expresses are what the overwhelming majority of Jewish people feel.

“one of the few crossings through which humanitarian aid is able to enter Gaza.”

Hamas fully owns and remains committed to the misery, deprivation, and trauma for Palestinians.

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

During World War II, millions of people were killed. Among them, 6 Million Jews perished in the Holocaust. They were murdered simply because of their Jewish roots.

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor their memory.

We will continue defending our country and ensure this will never happen again. #NeverForget #WeRemember

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

When a synagogue bus in Toronto has to tape over its name, when Jews around the world are taking down their Mezuzas, and when a Holocaust Memorial in London needs to be covered, it is no longer a genuine concern for the Palestinian people. It's basic antisemitism.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Hamas: Blows up the Erez Crossing while killing 1200 civilians
Israel: Fixes it to send humanitarian aid
Hamas: Steals humanitarian aid for itself
Hamas: Shoots rockets at Kerem Shalom Crossing
Israel: Closes the crossing

The world: Why is Israel imposing a SIEGE on Gaza?

There’s nothing progressive about boycotting Jewish businesses.

There’s nothing progressive about denying Jewish history.

There’s nothing progressive about terrorism.

There’s nothing progressive about defacing synagogues.

There’s nothing progressive about hatred against Jews.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The anti-Israel crowd was adamant that the world must listen and honor the ruling of the IJC.

The ruling was clear - no ceasefire was ordered, Hamas must return the hostages, AND Israel must do all it can to prevent loss of human life and PREVENT a genocide.

Yet, still, anti-Israel agitators are insisting a genocide is currently taking place.

No matter what is true or decided the world will always find a way to accuse Israel, the only Jewish state, of blood libel.

A tale as old as time.

Thank you Ugandan judge Julia Sebutinde who voted against ALL the provisional measures South Africa sought against Israel.

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

This is me shortly after arriving in the United States.
It was while my mind was still in the box that the Islamic Republic had placed me in.

This is me before I tried to learn beyond what I was fed before I saw the truth of the situation.

It's when I still believe the propaganda I have been fed since I was a child.
I wholeheartedly supported the Palestinian cause because I assumed it was a matter of human rights.

So you can see that I don't hate Palestinians.

I discovered that the "Free Palestine" movement was not concerned with human rights. If it was, they would see how Hamas has put Palestinians in danger and forced them into a war that has resulted in death and destruction rather than victory.

They would see the ugliness of what Hamas has done to Israelis and Palestinians alike. They would see how the Islamic Republic has started a fire that is destroying the world in 44 years.

I gained a better understanding of history. I learned more about what has been going on around the world and what has been done to the Middle East, as well as who is to blame for our misery, and Israel is not to blame.

Today, I continue to advocate for human rights, which include Jewish people all over the world.

"How can you support ISRAEL when it's pure evil? شر مطلق"

My answer is: this opinion says more about YOU than about Israel.

My experience as an Israeli-Arab (some would call it Palestinian), is that we're being taught to hate Israel from young age. This is fueled by three factors:
1-Ignorance, 2-Obsession, 3-Antisemitism.

1-Ignorance: Arab societies, generally less educated, become susceptible to the manipulation of leaders with agenda. This includes the tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. The lack of understanding about History & Anthropology, and the universality of conflict, displacement, and warfare throughout human history distorts the perception of the Palestinian cause, making it appear uniquely exceptional and dramatic.

2-Obsession: On top of general lack of historic knowledge, there's OVER knowledge about each and every detail of Israel's shortcomings, This hyper-awareness often leads to the misconception that events in Israel are unparalleled and are attributable to its identity as a country or a Jewish nation. For example, in the current war, those with limited knowledge of common warfare practices might be shocked by Israel's actions, such as the treatment of POWs, as they really believe it is unprecedented or irrational.

3-Antisemitism: This allows them to believe conspiracy theories, that Israel is acting out of interest to control the world or purge any ethnicities around it, when the data on the ground doesn't support any of this. but the opposite. for instance: "Israel wants to expand" - when in fact Israel willingly relinquished and retreated from territory whenever peace was an option.

Ignorance and Obsession are a golden duo in this case. Because it is well expected that if you dive deep into any country's news, you'll find enough instances of crime, corruption and expressions of racism. This is particularly true in the case of Israel, a democracy where citizens actively engage in self-critique, and the governance system operates with transparency. But when those flaws are gathered into one concentrated demonic piece of "information", it gives the haters the impression that they are looking into the eye of evil itself.

[Tamer Masudin @TMasudin]

So growing up as an Arab in #Israel, I believed in the 2 state solution. I even voted twice for parties that were focused on it as their main political agenda.

I liked the idea of having a Jewish state and an Arab one coexisting together.

This dream died on Oct 7th. It died when I saw how the death of Arabs and Jews was celebrated in #Gaza and the West Bank. And when the #Palestinians were unable to condemned their leadership.

Even today 82 days into the war, the vast majority are unable to stand up shoulders straight and denounce terrorism.

The 2 state solution is dead, and Israel wasn't the one who killed it.
