Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas shitheads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care.
Where’s my party’s condemnation?
Nuno Loureiro, a Jewish MIT Professor, was shot in his home Monday night. He died this morning.
That is a short 1-hour drive from Brown University.
This is globalizing the intifada.
Shana Tova to my Jewish friends, followers, and various ex-boyfriends!
While I hate to bring this up during the celebration of a new year, it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge what a dark and painful time it feels like for many Jews.
While the long tradition of blaming Jews for the world’s problems thrives more than it has in many generations, please don’t forget that you come from a rich and ancient culture that has contributed, over thousands of years, to religious and ethical foundations, philosophy and scholarship, science and medicine, economics and business, arts and culture, politics and human rights, and technology and innovation.
Jews, who have always been a microscopic percentage of the overall world population, have contributed far beyond their numbers.
My own life has been built thanks to the incredible love, friendship, and protection my Jewish friends have given me.
May this year be better than the last.
This is a stupendously bad statement. Whoever writes these tweets for His Holiness should be fired.
Never mind the war, it doesn’t even get the Bible right. It isn’t, “thou shall not kill.” It’s, “thou shall not murder.” The Bible permits war and it permits defensive killing - kinda like international law.
But this statement is bad on the war too. Mealy-mouthed and avoiding, it names neither Israel nor Hamas, but only so it can avoid naming Hamas.
If you can’t find the moral backbone to say something specific about Hamas, who still plan the genocide of Jews and could end this all in ten minutes but choose not to, then what’s the point of being pope? Asking honestly.
It’s totally, utterly normalized. They’ve won. The Jews are the great suspects of the Western imagination once again. When searching for the answer to an anxiety or fear, the Jew is now back in his natural position as the default explanation.
Even if we accept that Gaza is a great crime, Islam has seen crimes ten times bigger in just the last decade, but that didn’t radicalize you against Islam. This isn’t about crimes, it’s about Jews.
Antisemitism is intrinsic to the mental architecture of the Christian West. And to Islam. And it comes from the same place. We never agreed to become what you demanded we become: You.
And so we are the great and eternal suspects. The people whose criminality is definitional. No Muslim must answer for Islam’s crimes elsewhere, no Christian for Christianity’s. But London’s synagogues have seen nearly a dozen attacks in as many days. Synagogues have guards everywhere on earth now.
I gave a talk at a Jewish school yesterday in New York. The Christian private school literally across the street was wide open. The Jewish school had a guard checking names against a list just to enter the parking lot.
Because only Jews must answer for other Jews’ misdeeds. And only Jews’ crimes or misdeeds become paradigmatic and total and world-historical. There are other wars, much worse wars with much higher death tolls, mass starvation and actual genocidal intentions, current underway in the world. But Gaza is the only one that matters or mobilizes.
Countless millions of views, likes and shares have already blamed Jews or Israelis for Charlie’s murder. It makes sense. Jews, after all, reject our great revelations and cling to their lies. They are inherently suspect. Other people might commit crimes; Jews are innately criminal.
And it’s totally, utterly normalized.
The claim that Jews are merely Europeans—White people of Jewish faith—who only began to call themselves a nation in the 19th century is not just wrong. It’s a profound act of erasure.
This view, often repeated on the left and codified in the PLO charters, asserts that Jewish nationhood is a modern political invention and a break from Jewish “religious” tradition. But the truth is exactly the opposite: Jewish peoplehood is one of the most enduring forms of collective identity in human history. From the Bible to the Talmud to the codes of halacha, Jews have always understood themselves as a nation, defined not by race but by covenant, law, shared ancestry, and connection to the Land of Israel.
Even rabbinic Judaism—far from being a European invention—was developed in Eretz Yisrael and Babylonia. Its foundational texts, from the Mishnah and Talmud to the responsa of the Geonim, long predate Ashkenaz. The major codifiers f halacha who shaped what we now call Orthodox Judaism—figures like Maimonides and Yosef Karo—were Sephardic Jews rooted in the Middle East. They all treated the Jews not simply as practitioners of a religion, but as a people, bound by divine commandments and historical destiny. While the concept of nationhood has evolved, the existential fact of Jewish distinctiveness has not. For most of Jewish history, religion and nation were not separate categories, but were co-constitutive.
The modern claim that Jews are merely a religious group—“White” by default unless visibly othered—is grounded in a Western binary between race (biology) and religion (culture) that has never applied to Jewish life. This same binary has been widely critiqued in anthropology, particularly in the “ontological turn,” for misrepresenting Indigenous forms of identity around the world. Yet when it comes to Jews, these critiques are conveniently suspended. The academy that now champions Indigenous knowledge systems routinely denies the indigeneity of the Jewish people, especially when it comes to their ancestral connection to the Land of Israel. This is not neutral scholarship, but rather, a selective application of theory in service of a political agenda: to delegitimize Zionism by first erasing the Jewish people.
Jewish nationhood is not a 19th-century invention. It is ancient. Its expressions have changed, but its existence remains. And denying that continuity is not historical analysis. It is the reintegration of antisemitism into the academy's most cherished frameworks.
Two Palestinian terrorists got on a bus in Jerusalem with automatic weapons.
They shot TWENTY Israeli civilian. Five people have been killed, including children.
And progressives will condemn none of it because they think it’s “resistance.”
Of course it has a right to defend itself. And if it wasn’t led by genocidal yet incompetent clowns, it (a) wouldn’t actually need to and (b) would be able to if it had to.
Happy to clear that up, Mehdi. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Here is my delayed Kanye West tweet that I resent tweeting (in advance).
The voices of the Jewish people are currently fighting the biggest surge of antisemitism in Western and MENA society in 80 years, and are being psychologically tortured week-on-week by an Islamofascist terrorist organization called Hamas, that apparently all of Gen Z, especially in America, are HUGE fans of.
A rapper who is one of the most famous men in the world launched a website at the Superbowl - the biggest TV show in the calendar year - to advertize t-shirts with Swastikas on them, a day after he tweeted "I AM A NAZI". And absolutely EVERYONE and ANYONE can and should condemn that. That's kind of the easiest thing to do.
It is not our job to talk about this any more. It's yours. You spent a week talking about him on the Grammys red carpet with his butt naked wife Bianca, but you won't talk about him selling Nazi fan t-shirts. Why? I know why.
In recent days, I've engaged with numerous individuals in the Gaza Strip to gain a deeper insight into the ongoing situation. Frankly, I've never encountered a more repugnant, death cult ideology like Hamas. They entice young recruits with a mere $300 to engage in their showcases of dominance, abuse vulnerable children and women (including their own) during these events, and even impose exorbitant fees on grieving families. For the past fifteen months, they have also demanded taxes from shop owners. This merely scratches the surface; I've encountered disturbing reports of threats aimed at individuals who have the courage to voice their opposition to Hamas on social media. These individuals represent a grave danger to the people of Gaza, and as long as they hold power, the hope for a brighter future will remain elusive. Those who remained silent while pretending to support the residents of Gaza will wear the shame of their betrayal. No one has let us down quite like you have.
“Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belonged to another ethnic group.”
Jews. The word you’re looking for is ‘Jews’, not ‘people’. This truly beggars belief.
This dire reporting is not only factually incorrect but erases Jews from a genocide in which six million Jewish men, women and children were slaughtered specifically because they were Jews.
How is it possible, therefore, that on Holocaust Memorial Day of all days, @GMB manages to acknowledge several other groups but not Jews?
To make matters worse, there is no reference to Jewish people at all for over two minutes into this segment, and when there finally is one, it is only done once and in regard to former history students taking a tour of the Jewish quarter of Kraków.
Additionally, there is bafflingly no utterance of the word “antisemitism” whatsoever.
If this is intended to pay respect to the victims of Holocaust Memorial Day, it has failed abysmally and ignores the true nature of this horrific event.
How on earth was this allowed to happen, @ITV? We demand an explanation.
