I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.
That's not something you get over.
@zriboua Thank you for this moving tribute, as well as your analytic pieces. I very much enjoy finding them in my mailbox on a regular basis. You're an outstanding researcher.
@Paloma_Brodsky @imntavailable Мне кажется, что в твоей жизни материала хватило бы как минимум на сериал... И это при том, что мы практически не знакомы.
@AsraNomani@FoxNews Asra, I've been following you in various media for a long time. Always appreciated your opinions, your support of the Pearl family, you speaking out against antisemitism etc. It saddens me to see that you are now aligning urself with ICE supporters. It's lawlessness, not politics
ICE unlawfully detain U.S. citizen woman—volunteer just advising immigrants of their rights.
"They're kidnapping me! Call the cops! Call 911" she yells.
"Why are you kicking me? Stop touching me! I am a U.S. citizen!"
"Calm down," agent tells woman in a patronizing tone. "Take it down a notch and we'll release you."
The incident occurred near the intersection of Emerald Parkway and Hard Road in Dublin, Ohio—about 15 miles northwest of Columbus. #DemsUnited
@realDaveFeldman You're amazing. I've been following you for your expertise in lipidology but had no idea you could be just as great in polisci or/and literary criticism.
"ICE agents and officers are human beings, too." Did you know that? Just like those who ran Nazi and Soviet concentration camps. Devoted husbands and fathers, many of them. Real human beings, all of them. https://t.co/jk0aYX2M87
It is sad to see how the fact that one of Ireland’s prominent Jewish figures became president of the State of Israel, turned from being a source of pride to Dublin to being a source of denial.
Chaim Herzog, my late father, grew up in Dublin and fought the Nazis in WW2 as an officer in the British Army. His father, Rabbi Isaac Herzog, was the first Chief Rabbi of Ireland and a strong supporter of Irish Nationalism.
So painful to see how Ireland, once home to a proud, thriving Jewish community, has become the scene of raging antisemitism. Ireland is now one of the most virulent anti-Israel countries in Europe, blurring the line between criticizing Israeli policies and questioning Israel’s right to exist.
It is high time that Jewish organizations in the U.S. and around the world sound a loud and clear voice in denouncing this shame and clarifying its consequences. Have we not learnt anything from history?
@betc0in@Glenn_Diesen There's no need to mention such an extremely knowledgeable expert and a very interesting scholar as @TimothyDSnyder in the same breath as a ridiculously dishonest and intellectually challenged creature as @McFaul .
