💥An estimated 115,000 Israelis are protesting, in the dog days of August, on a sauna of a night, with half the country on vacation, for the 32nd week in a row– just on Kaplan Street in downtown Tel Aviv.

#Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and #Canada is not immune.

Alarmingly, while religiously motivated hate crimes in Canada declined overall, Jew-hatred was the only religious category to experience an increase in incidents.

200+ South African firefighters recently landed in Canada to help in the fight against the raging wildfire. Upon arrival, they sang this song.
People of South Africa, we love you! 🇨🇦🇿🇦💜

Today is #ArmenianGenocide Memorial Day. We remember the 1.5 million Armenians who lost their lives at the hands of the Ottoman government during WWI. We also honour all the survivors who endured such pain and suffering.

Our @WestJet flight from Maui to #YVR diverted to #YYJ . Apparently YVR air space closed due to volcanic ash from Russian volcano. Another flight from Calgary also diverted and all flights to YVR from Victoria grounded. Anyone else hearing anything about this? Not seeing reports

[Reut @reutamit]

@jdakwar And how do you reconcile that with elected Arab MKs like Ayman Odeh in Israel’s Knesset participating in the protests alongside Jewish Israelis? https://t.co/mLNlLdasvP

זוהי שעה קריטית! ישנה הזדמנות אמיתית להפיל את החקיקה הפשיסטים, והזדמנות לצמוח מהמחאה למחנה רחב שדורש שוויון, דמוקרטיה לכולם וסיום הכיבוש! אבל נתניהו נמצא עם הגב לקיר, הוא יודע שהפטריוטיזם הוא מפלטו האחרון של הנבל. לא ניתן לו לגרור אותנו למלחמה לאומנית כדי שיוכל לשמור על כיסאו!

Sharing facts is critical in the fight against antisemitism. In the newly released @ADL Audit, we found antisemitism increased by 36% last year. Share our #AntisemitismUncovered guide to help dispel the myths. https://t.co/YDKRMrZLsS

For the first time in history, Israel's main union, as well as leaders from the banks and the entire business sector, are about to declare a general strike demanding that the government stop the judicial coup. Employers have committed to paying full wages to workers.

[Reut @reutamit]

This is just incredible.

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

A powerful display of democracy in #Israel as hundreds of thousands gather across the country to protest the proposed Judicial reforms.

Israel's judicial coup breaking news:
PM Netanyahu discharged Def Min @yoavgallant for calling to delay legislation as he feared for Israel's security due to reservists' protests. As of 22:00 tens of thousands of ppl flocked to Highway 20 flocking Israel's main route. >>

[Anshel Pfeffer אנשיל פפר @AnshelPfeffer]

Netanyahu wasn’t warned only by Galant that the judicial overhaul was causing a major security crisis. Galant was backed up by the IDF chief of staff and the Shin Bet chief. Basically Netanyahu has now said he has no confidence in Israel’s entire security establishment

[Noga Tarnopolsky נגה טרנופולסקי نوغا ترنوبولسكي @NTarnopolsky]

Almost 300,000 Israelis protesting against Netanyahu's régime change plans tonight in dozens of Israeli cities. This is Tel Aviv. ⬇️

[Ambassador Michael Herzog @AmbHerzog]

How can it be that less than a century after the Holocaust, a Neo-Nazi group in the U.S. calls for a National Day of Hate against the Jews - and there’s no uproar? Have we learned nothing? Have we forgotten that words lead to actions? I pray for a peaceful Shabbat for everyone.

[ADL @ADL]

Today marks 17 years since the death of #IlanHalimi z”l, a young French jew who was kidnapped, tortured & held for ransom for 24 days before being murdered. This heinous crime was motivated by #antisemitism — Halimi was targeted because he was Jewish. May his memory be a blessing

[Noga Tarnopolsky נגה טרנופולסקי نوغا ترنوبولسكي @NTarnopolsky]

An estimated 150,000 anti-Netanyahu protesters in Tel Aviv; an estimated 834,60 in the rest of Israel. That's almost a quarter of a million people in a nation of 9.3 million.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Palestinian terrorist spotted two Jewish children waiting at a bus stop, so he rammed his car into them and killed both.

Palestinians celebrated in Gaza calling it “a heroic attack to free Palestine.”

If you think this is fighting for human rights you don’t consider Jews human.

[Ian Haworth @ighaworth]

.@joerogan saying “the idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza” would make sense if Jews invented money and/or Italians had been massacred because of a conspiracy that they control the world through pizza.

[Reut @reutamit]

This is haunting.
