I never met Noya Dan. But she lives in our home. A year and a half after she was murdered by Hamas, we still speak her name, still carry her picture, still grieve her. She became part of our family. And we will never forget her. My reflection, link in replies👇

Welcome to the embarrassing, pathetic, ineffective & highly destructive state of "pro-Palestine" activism 2 years after October 7, where a simple condemnation of a terrorist group, Hamas, that destroyed Gaza & decimated Palestinian lives, is still refused & too much to ask for.

Today, I visited the Holocaust center at the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa. Every Holocaust center, exhibit, or museum leaves me with the sense that we’re always a hair’s breadth away from being treated like we’re a pathogen. It’s happening now in Spain.

“Bungled humanitarian schemes or trigger-happy soldiers or strikes that hit the wrong target or politicians reaching for vengeful sound bites do not come close to adding up to genocide. They are war in its usual tragic dimensions.” Dependable clarity from Bret Stephens @nytimes

🚨BREAKING: The IDF offered to escort UN humanitarian trucks inside Gaza but the UN REJECTED the offer, PREFERRING HAMAS ESCORTS INSTEAD. — @mrconfino

Bear with me here, but what if the IDF is telling the truth?

I wonder why Zionists want their own state, and not to be deported to Europe to live as a perpetually chased and hunted minority...

I went to a funeral for the remains of six unidentified children murdered in the Holocaust just this year—nearly 80 years after they were killed—and people still have the gall to say garbage like this. Disgusting. Yimakh shemo v'zikhro.

We’ve seen this a thousand times and we’ll see it a thousand more. There is nothing anyone can do for Gaza that Hamas won’t undo. If a ceasefire comes, as I hope it will, Hamas will use it to plan more of this same kind of war. If GHF collapses and all aid returns to UN hands,…

If this is the kind of vile hatred and antisemitism that I get as a non-Jew, imagine what your Jewish friends, neighbours and colleagues get. I used to get regular messages from Rob Spittle using his work email. BTW, based on past emails he thinks he is a “progressive.”

The Holocaust was the worst systematic mass murder (of Jews and others) in modern history… The war with Hamas is to stop a terrorist group with the exact same intentions… This is the ONLY similarity between these two… anything else suggested is pure #antisemitism. FULL STOP

They say “decolonize,” but they mean erase. They say “globalize the intifada,” and they mean “let no Jew sleep easy.” They whisper “ceasefire,” but their eyes say “surrender.” And they film it all—proud, grinning, triumphant, certain they are the heroes of this age.

Thank you @gregbradyx of “Toronto Today” for having me on this morning, hope that our situation & decision can trigger some real conversations in Canadian political circles. I have already been asked about the program I came on 👉🏼 ⁦@TulsaTomorrow⁩ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tor…

I met many Druze during my trips to Israel. “Part of our DNA are being warriors," retired Druze IDF General Alaa Abu-Rukun told me, who said his people proudly consider themselves Israeli. Moustaches are an article of faith for the Druze — shaving is meant as a humiliation

Brett McGurk at Aspen Security Forum: “The history of the talks is being rewritten by people that weren’t involved.” Here’s the truth from someone who was in the room: Hamas torpedoed a deal to end the war—again and again. That’s why the war continues. That’s the only reason.

ONTARIO TEACHER CALLS JEWISH GIRL "HALF HUMAN" A new report on antisemitism against the 3,000 Jewish children learning in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 schools reveals: ➡ 40% of incidents involved Nazi salutes or praise for Hitler ➡ 40% of incidents had NOTHING to do with Israel ➡…
