This is my friend @EinhornGabe, a 24-year-old Orthodox Jewish tech founder.

Last week, a job applicant told him he wasn’t interested in working for a Jew.

Gabe was so shocked that he posted the screenshot.

What happened next was even worse.

Tens of thousands of hateful comments flooded in. Large antisemitic influencers began posting his company, encouraging their followers to attack him and leave negative reviews.

They even tracked down his family’s business, completely unrelated to his company, and urged people to target them too.

And it didn’t stop there.

For the past week, Gabe has been receiving nonstop death threats simply for being Jewish.

So here’s my call to action:

Gabe is the founder of VryfID, a platform that helps match renters and landlords.

If you’re a landlord, renter, or know someone who is, check out his business. Reach out. Show your support.

Let’s show the antisemitic mob that their intimidation tactics don’t work.

We will not hide. We will not back down.

We will stand proudly as Jews!

@realMaalouf That’s insane

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks.

It's dozens now. Maybe more.

But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media.

Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases.

No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.

[Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger]

Reminder that Doctors Without Borders spent two years at Nasser Hospital before admitting Hamas was using it as a terror base.

During that stretch, the group refused to treat 20 Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid workers wounded by Hamas, leaving them to die in the courtyard

It Was Supposed to Be History

I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London.

I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite.

Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews.

That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List.

For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing.

The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted.

Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state.

I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel.

What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans.

My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others.

That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives.

Not because I have all the answers.

Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Civil disobedience:

1) Non-violently transgress a law you believe unjust
2) Accept the legal consequences
3) A public shocked by the harshness of the punishment forces changes in the law.

Palestine Action:

1) Smash property and hurt people
2) Demand to be exempted from legal consequences
3) A public shocked by the violence of the crimes committed thinks, "actually these sentences seem rather light under the circumstances."

[Jonathan Eric Lewis @LewisJonathanE]

Years ago, I used to write about ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East for numerous publications

Two things stuck with me from that experience:

(1) Left-of-center and liberal publications had next to no interest in the topic. I remember having a working lunch with an editor at the New York Times Magazine and he clearly had zero interest in the topic. He probably knew his readership all too well

(2) There is absolutely no real money to be made in writing about Assyrians, Copts, and Zoroastrians. The fact that this is the case is deeply shameful and demonstrates why so many craven academics gravitate toward Palestinianism. There is a lot of $$$ there. And yet the critics will maintain it's supporters of Israel who are doing it for money

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

For two years, Israel struck or raided hospitals in Gaza, claiming Hamas operated from inside them.

Each strike produced a global outrage cycle: images of dead patients, condemnations from the UN, the WHO calling Shifa a “death zone,” genocide accusations at the ICJ. Israel’s counter-claim,that Hamas had embedded its military inside the medical system was ignored.

Almost every institution positioned to verify it, aid groups, UN agencies, much of the press,either stayed silent or actively disputed Israel’s version.

MSF repeatedly said it had “seen no evidence” of Hamas using hospitals , while accusing Israel of attacking healthcare. When the IDF raided Shifa and the early evidence looked thin, outlets ran fact-checks mocking the rifle count, and the skepticism hardened into a settled narrative that Israel had lied.

Then in February 2026, the least Israel-friendly credible witness imaginable,a Nobel-winning aid group that had accused Israel of genocide, documented armed men, patient arrests, and weapons movement at Nasser from the inside.

Did anyone really cover the correction? No. No they did not.

[Rabbi Poupko @RabbiPoupko]

You thought that the globalize the Intifada crowd would stop at Synagogues and Jewish school?

You didn't think they would destroy cabs at a Knicks game?

Think again.

[Rich Toronto @rich_toronto]

I find the world today completely incomprehensible.

What’s wrong is right. What’s evil is good. And common sense is certainly not common.

A barbaric terrorist group attacks a country, savagely raping, murdering and kidnapping. They videotape the event, sharing it with the world. They are treated like heroes in the community. Their parents tell them how “proud” they are of them. And millions of people around the world take to the streets to support them, denying their atrocities, and calling them “freedom fighters”.

People claim the attack never happened, despite the videos. Denied it in part and whole. Says the target country did it themselves. And people believe the lies.

The agency tasked with supporting the people of Gaza is proven to have had complicity in the attacks, and some countries continue to fund it. And then the agency received a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Facts are being twisted and lies have become truth. A country that welcomes people of any faith and background is called apartheid. By nations that truly are apartheid. A country that is the target of a genocidal attack is then accused of genocide when it responds. And the attackers are hailed as heroes.

History is being rewritten on a daily basis to support the narratives that will incite the most hate. And people believe.

Politicians openly support the terrorist organization. University professors teach the false narratives. Unions take a stance, ostracizing its members on the other side. With zero repercussions.

Hate is exploding in every facet of our society. Openly. Unabashed. Without fear of consequences. Businesses are refusing service based on religion. People are being physically attacked based on religion. The frequency and ferocity is increasing daily.

Respectful, law-abiding societies are becoming lawless at an alarming rate. People are afraid to freely practice their religion. Or sometimes to even leave their homes.

The world has been convinced of mistruths for decades. Slowly. Steadily. Propaganda has turned the Palestinians into victims of Israel and Zionism, using lies and playing into people’s wokeness, virtual signalling and inherent hate. And people believe.

And it enabled the perfect storm for the fuse that was ignited on Oct 7, that has completely turned our world on its head.

Good will prevail. At some point, the evil will be destroyed, and the world will right itself. The cost will likely be huge. On both sides.

And will the world learn anything from this?

Probably not.

Because this isn’t the first time.

And yet here we are. Again.

[Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000]

A report compiled from over 430 witnesses, survivors, medical staff and experts reveals never-before-told horrors of the October 7 massacre.

Women were stripped naked, bound, stabbed, shot, and burned alive. Many were executed during and after repeated rape. Heads were decapitated. Pelvic bones shattered. Sexual assaults continued even after death.

In Kibbutz Be’eri, nails, sharp metal and plastic objects were driven into a woman’s body.
Grenades were used on another victim.

Men were also sexually assaulted, including at least one documented case of gang rape.

The horrors of October 7 were worse than we imagined.

Never forget. Never forgive. Never again.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

The former President of the ICJ just destroyed the “Israel is committing genocide” lie.

Joan Donoghue (who presided over the South Africa v. Israel case) on Hardtalk:

“It didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible… The shorthand that often appears… isn’t what the court decided.”

The Court only said Palestinians have plausible rights to be protected from genocide. It made no finding that Israel was plausibly committing genocide.

Watch her say it herself. The media and activists have been misrepresenting this and lying for 18+ months.

[Matti Friedman @MattiFriedman]

Many journalists were concerned, understandably, about the reported deaths of "journalists" in Gaza. It's striking how uninterested they are in the unraveling of many of those stories. We're all lucky to have @Aizenberg55 doing the work the press should be doing:

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

BREAKING: UNRWA just fired 70 employees in Gaza over their ties to Hamas, in wake of UN Watch's latest revelations and the investigation by the U.S. Inspector General of USAID.

See our new UNRWA Terror Network map here, identifying 400 culprits: https://t.co/39bbQpruFe

[UN Watch @UNWatch]

BREAKING: Alice Edwards, one of only two UN rights experts to sign a letter on the Oct. 7 atrocities, says “There was a campaign [by other rapporteurs] to prevent that letter going out. Weeks of being bullied and deterred from writing it, telling me everything in it was false.”

[Adam Ma'anit @adammaanit]

On October 8, while the body of my savagely murdered teenage cousin Ma'ayan wasn't even buried yet, Palestine Action co-founder Richard Barnard made clear what his group's agenda was: "When we hear the resistance, the Al-Aqsa flood [Hamas' name for the October 7 massacre], we must turn that flood into a tsunami of the whole world."

So no @pennyjgreen, Palestine Action's violent criminal actions are not designed to "prevent the mass killing of Palestinians by Israel". They are designed to further the terrorist aims of the "resistance" and expand them to "the whole world".

Suspicious

[Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader]

This is remarkable. One of the free Palestine student leaders from Columbia’s violent encampment is a 34 year old Palestinian man who has literally been enrolled as a college student since 2008.

He transferred to Lehigh university in 2018. Stayed there “until 2021, and never earned a credential despite enrolling as a seventh year senior and being a full time student there for four years. Despite this extremely suspicious academic record, he was admitted as a transfer to Columbia University — a school which rejects over 97% of applicants — where he attended as an undergraduate for another four years.”

[Freedom Foundation @FreedomFdtn]

A shocking antisemitic purge at one of America’s largest teachers’ unions.

Last Wednesday night, the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) House of Representatives voted to expel Amy Leserman — an Orthodox Jew, 25-year UTLA member, LA public school teacher, and chair of the Educators Caucus for Israel, @kdeutschjourno explains on his Substack.

UTLA denounced Amy by name, branded Zionism “racism,” and accused her of “targeting union activists”.

Her offense? Sitting silently on a Zoom call she had every right to attend.🧵

[J.C. Polanco, Esq. @JCPolancoNYC]

Last year I warned people not to fall for an inexperienced socialist who became a social media phenomenon.

Now some of the same people who endorsed him and bought into the hype are shocked that he's disregarding the work, sacrifices, and accomplishments of community leaders and political trailblazers like Nydia Velázquez and Adriano Espaillat.

The goal was never to add seats at the table. It was to replace the people already sitting there.

Some of us saw the Trojan Horse coming. Others opened the gates.

If you want to continue down a path forged by failed Arab states who do not take care of themselves and then, when people complain, say, how can you complain when Palestinians have it worse? Clean up your own backyard, take care of business.

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel:

As he says: ‘Over the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS.
‘The public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.’

Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding:

‘Does Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? ‘This is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.’
