On Monday, Montreal city council votes on a motion to cut the city's ties with Israel. I am speaking up because this motion is dangerous for Montreal, and my reason has nothing to do with which side of that war you are on.
My family arrived in Montreal in 1956 as refugees. This city gave us safety, dignity and the chance to build. That promise has drawn generations of immigrants here from every corner of the world.
I am not going to debate a war on the other side of the world, and that is exactly the point. A municipal government has no jurisdiction over foreign policy. Cities do not end wars.
But a motion like this lands right here at home. Jewish Montrealers are less than one percent of this city and the number one target of hate crimes. Those are police statistics, not opinions. Our synagogues and schools have been targeted, and families I know are scared in a way I have never seen.
When city hall singles out one community's connection to a foreign conflict, it brings no peace anywhere. It brings fear here.
Montreal has real emergencies. Housing. Homelessness. Infrastructure. That is the job.
This city has been a safe haven for my family and so many others, and it must remain one for everyone. @SorayaMartinezF showed real leadership in June. Council should reject this motion on Monday.
90 mins on hold so far with @TorontoPolice to report a stolen car and still waiting. I was told it's non-urgent so not 911-worthy (I went to the local police station and told I had to just call & wait). By now my car is already on a boat! Crazy.

Globalize the intifada means one thing & one thing only: kill Jews everywhere And so it was on the 1st night of Hanukah at Bondi Beach. The hater’s aim is, as they chanted at Park East synagogue, “make them afraid.” Where’s the outrage? Where’s the shame?” #bondibeach #hanukah
Anyone else find themselves getting caught-up on the news right after watching an episode of Paradise, then 15 minutes later forgetting what was real and what was fake?
I don’t know who this guy is, but he pretty much nails my sentiment
"Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood. They killed them with their bare hands."
If you've bought into the narrative that Israel is the aggressor, ask yourself if you really feel OK being on the side of heinous, evil terrorists.

One of these people is hosting the Golden Globes tonight and will crush it. Spoiler alert: it’s not the short Jewish guy
I left marketing years ago so am no longer qualified to comment on SB commercials. But I will say this: that Skechers ad is the definition of “inside baseball”. Who else but people at the company care that people misspell it? No one. What agency that pitched that dumb idea?

Each morning, Rachel Goldberg marks the days of her son's absence with a piece of tape. On January 14th it read 100. 100 days of absence, 100 days of waiting.
On that day, join in solidarity. Tape '100' over your heart and share your support. #Bring_Hersh_Home #BringThemHomeNow
It's Christmas, when people around the world celebrate peace. Sadly, Hamas remains disinterested in a lasting peace. Will the media report on their latest rejection of a ceasefire? Unlikely.
And don ‘t forget there are still more than 100 hostages in Gaza. #BringThemHomeNow
I have no idea what actually happened at that Gaza hospital but a reminder that Hamas - the terrorist organization claiming Israel is to blame for the tragedy – is the same org whose spokesperson last week claimed on TV “not a single person was killed by Hamas in Israel on Oct 7”

"We say never again, but now it's here we go again."
Listen to 17 year old Dorin as she tries to make us understand the heatbreak and pain of millions of Israelis right now.
