Excerpt from speech I gave earlier this week. “If the only time you take to the streets is to stand against the only Jewish country you’re not a freedom fighter, you’re just a f*cking antisemite”.
“We wanted to be there in solidarity with them [in Israel] and show them look, there’s a hundred of us. This is just a small slice of the entire population that's standing very much behind you,” said @MatthewNouriel of the @JFederations Pride Mission ow.ly/eYFv50Wvnql
Just this week: – On an American podcast, guests praise Hitler, justify the Holocaust – 50 Jewish kids kicked off a Spanish flight for singing in Hebrew, their 21-year-old counselor was violently arrested – Israeli teens attacked by a mob in Greece – Jewish schoolchildren…
Throughout history, every time Jews gained success, stability, or power, the world found a way to tear us down. From the destruction of our Temples to expulsions, forced conversions, and genocide, we were punished simply for existing—whether as a faith, a people, or a nation. Our…
Hi antisemite @briebriejoy I’m a gay man living in Israel with my partner. We are legally married, we have a child, and we are both the legal parents of that child. Our gay friends can legally adopt children in Israel. We have pride parades here, and I’m also a proud teacher in…
"This is how modern antisemitism works. It doesn’t always wear swastikas or show up as buffoons chanting “The Jews will not replace us.” More often than not, it disguises itself as intellectual critique, wrapped in convoluted, pseudo-intellectual horseshit designed to confuse…
Zionism achieved everything many self-proclaimed progressive activists claim to support: anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, land back, liberation, and survival in the face of genocide. Yet instead of celebrating it, much of the left has made it their ultimate villain, comparing…
Before all the jihadist sympathizers and apologists flood your feeds with pseudo-intellectual bullshit designed to confuse you, here’s the reality: In Syria right now, Druze civilians are under attack… again. Jolani—the Islamist warlord whose militias control parts of northern…
"Zionism now offers perfect cover for Jew-hate. It lets people say 'Zionist' with venom while pretending their hands are clean. To say “It’s not about Jews, just Zionists” is like saying “It’s not about Muslims, just those who go to mosque.” It’s a rhetorical trick that denies…
Comparing the Warsaw Ghetto uprising—where starving Jews resisted Nazi extermination—with October 7, when Hamas terrorists left Gaza to massacre, rape, and burn civilians in their homes, is historical revisionism at its most vile. This isn’t activism—it’s global scale…
When Jews escaped a concentration camp (Warsaw Ghetto) and attacked their captors in 1944, the world rightly celebrated their courage and tenacity. But when Palestinians escaped their concentration camp (Gaza) and attacked their captors, we bombed them every day for 2 consecutive…
What a privilege it must be to be an assimilated American Jew who is so far removed from your own people's history of persecution that you can choose to ignore it, take an anti-Israel stance, and allow yourself to become a tool for those who hate us. What a pathetic, pitiful…
Principles and authenticity?? He’s a nepo baby who pretends to give a shit about Palestinians to get your votes because all of you useful idiots have been duped into believing that’s all that matters. There’s nothing principled or authentic about this guy. When did the left…
No amount of money can buy what has made @ZohranKMamdani such a powerhouse: Principles, Authenticity, Giving a shit about people and Just straight up rizz. Simply posting on TikTok is not enough. You need to actually stand for something and care about people.
If your feminism excuses the rape, torture, and mutilation of Jewish women, you’re not a feminist, you’re a Nazi. thedinahproject.org/wp-content/upl…

Hitler dreamed of a Jew-free Europe. Jews had no defence, and he nearly succeeded - helped by many. Now Hamas and others dream of a Jew-free Middle East. This time, Jews ,*do* have a defence. And somehow, that’s what outrages the world. Here's a reminder of the collaborators..
Daniel Edri was 24. The third of four siblings. He lost his father young and grew up with a deep sense of duty. He volunteered for IDF reserve service. He served in Gaza and Lebanon. He helped recover the bodies of fallen soldiers. And after Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre, he was sent…
1 of 2 pieces I wrote for @JewishJournal this week “The international community must stop legitimizing a regime that survives only through terror. If we truly believe in democracy, in women’s rights, in freedom of speech, in self-determination — then we must stand with Iranians…
The U.S. is revoking Bob Vylan’s visas. That’s a win. But let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture: Over 200,000 people chanted genocidal slogans with him, screaming “From the river to the sea” and “Death to the IDF” like it was a chorus in a pop song. This wasn’t a fringe…
