Really enjoying my @WHOOP. Especially the ai chat feature on the app. I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch during exercise and sleep for years, and still do, but the Whoop data is definitely more robust and the chat feature is 👌🏻👌🏻. Btw, if you have the chase sapphire reserve you can get a free whoop for a year.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Tucker Carlson says he was stopped and questioned at Tel Aviv airport after interviewing U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee. He claims Israeli officials took his producer aside and demanded to know what they discussed. Carlson says he only visited the country for a few hours and is now back out. He says the experience was “bizarre” and left him shaken. Israel says the claims are not true: "Tucker received the same passport control questions that countless visitors to Israel including Ambassador Huckabee and otehr diplomats received as part of normal entrance and exit from Israel. It was Tucker who chose to only come into the country for a few hours and depart. ANd Tucker received the same positive treatment of any visitors to Israel" Source: The Daily Mail

I saw the back of my head in the Time today, and the photo's caption about my son's school was unbelievable. "At Tomchei Tmimim of Ocean Parkway in Midwood, one parent said she was told her son must receive services to attend the school." 1/7

I did not come to support Medical Aid in Dying lightly. But it isn’t about shortening life — it is about shortening death for those who are terminally ill.

Tonight, many of us will sing the final verse of Maoz Tzur, depicting how we’ve been treated throughout Jewish history. Listen to this beautiful tune and pray for a world where Jews can live without being attacked youtu.be/4hJV48khR-A?si=Vhie… @MyNameIsAviJ

By speaking earlier this week at Tel Aviv University, I made a serious mistake. In the past, when formulating my views about Israel-Palestine, I’ve sought out Palestinian friends and interlocutors and listened carefully to their views. In this case, I did not. I really wanted to speak to Israelis. In the US, I’ve cultivated conversations with Jews with whom I strongly disagree, both to listen and in hopes of changing their minds. Over the horrifying last two years, I’ve hoped for more conversations with Israelis, to explain why I believe Israel has committed genocide in Gaza and why I believe Jewish supremacy is fundamentally wrong. My motivation for giving the talk wasn’t financial; I didn’t receive an honorarium. I wanted to say certain things to an Israeli audience. Speaking at Tel Aviv University seemed to offer that chance. I let my desire for that conversation override my solidarity with Palestinians, who in the face of ethnic cleansing, apartheid and genocide have asked the world boycott Israeli institutions that are complicit in their oppression. As Noura Erakat and others have pointed out, there are ways for me to talk to Israelis without violating BDS guidelines and undermining a collective effort against oppression. I could have had the exchange I desired while respecting a non-violent movement based on human rights and international law. Had I listened more to Palestinians, I would have realized that earlier. It’s embarrassing to admit such a serious mistake. I dearly wish I had not made this one, which has caused particular harm because international pressure is crucial to ensuring Palestinian freedom. This was a failure of judgment. I am sorry.
