A synagogue in Paris was reportedly vandalized during the protests that exploded in France this weekend. Targeting a vulnerable community and desecrating their place of worship is not an acceptable way to "protest." It is an act of anti-Jewish hate. xitter.cf/BastionMediaFR/status/…

A 51-year-old Los Angeles man, Steven Duenas, is accused of planning a mass-casualty event at a Jewish preschool. Along with posting that "Not enough synagogues have burned down," he posted multiple images of cocktails he had created. He also outright posted that he was considering bombing Jems, the preschool in question. His mother has come to his defense, saying that Duenas was always respectful of others, and maybe it had something to do with a Jewish family they used to live next to who weren't very nice, though she "isn't making excuses." Because hating an entire group of people because of one bad experience with a member of that group makes sense and isn't pushing the blame on the victims.

“You are not being found guilty because of what you believed. You are being found guilty because of what you did." A minor in Ottawa has been found guilty of plotting to kill Jewish Canadians en masse in 2023. How many mass murders of Jews were just barely avoided since October 7th?

"I would rather use the term human sacrifice rather than human shield." Colonel Richard Kemp, former Commander of British Forces in Afghanistan, has led troops in combat - and he says the genocide charge against Israel is "an absolutely preposterous suggestion." On The Honest Take, he recounts sitting in an IDF strike-planning meeting and how that leads him to believing Israel has "an extremely bright future." Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

🔴ELIMINATED: Maher Walid Omar al-Husseini, a Nukhba cell commander in Hamas’ military wing who infiltrated the Re’im Base in Israel during the October 7 Massacre. Recently, he advanced attacks against Israeli civilians & IDF troops and attempted to restore Hamas’ capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. The terrorist was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.

זה צולם בקניון ברמאללה, בזמן שההורים עושים קניות, הילדים צופים בסרט אנימציה שמהלל את טבח השבעה באוקטובר. ככה מחנכים את הדור הבא של הטרור הפלסטיני, ככה מוודאים שהטבח הבא יגיע מתוך יהודה ושומרון. הכתובת על הקיר, ועל המסך בקניון רמאללה... חייבים הכרעה, חייבים לנצח את הטרור הפלסטיני ואת התעמולה הפלסטינית ואת זה נעשה בעמך ישראל כשעופר וינטר יהיה שר הביטחון ואני אהיה שר ההסברה!

40 years ago today, Amal and Hezbollah jihadists abducted Israeli airman Ron Arad. 40 years of unanswered questions. 40 years of longing. 40 years of a family waiting. Time has not erased his memory, nor weakened our commitment. Ron Arad has not been forgotten. We will never stop fighting to bring him home. 🇮🇱

I just saw the horrific news that three young children and a teacher were murdered in a school shooting in Oregon. I can't imagine what the families are going through right now. My thoughts are with them and the victims. May their memories be a blessing.

Obama also criticized Hamas: "What they did on October 7, you could not have designed something that was less likely to produce meaningful change." This is a strange way to talk about the massacre, rape, and kidnapping of innocents. October 7th was not a failed strategy to produce peace. It accomplished Hamas's goal: murdering Jews. I am liberal. That is what makes it so disturbing to see leaders from the Democratic Party spread false narratives that harm Jews.

A documentary exploring the visible and painful climate in New York City following October 7, 2023, has just won a New York Emmy Award. “Torn,” directed by Israeli-American filmmaker Nim Shapira, won the best documentary prize at the New York Emmy Awards. The film follows the “Kidnapped from Israel” hostage posters that appeared across New York City in the weeks after October 7, 2023 - and the organized campaign by pro-Palestinian “activists” to tear them down. The film includes raw footage of people ripping down the posters - when asked why, responding with laughter, middle fingers, and phrases like “your posters are propaganda.” “The poster war did not just tear down the posters,” Shapira said, “but also tore down the social fabric of the city.”

"They took land off people and they were excessive." Obama's comments in Belfast make it seem like Israel was a random place Jews had no connection to, not a homeland we had been continuously connected to for millenia. He ignores the fact that before Israel, Britain controlled the territory. When Israel was established, 7 Arab countries immediately attacked. That's the context in which displacement occurred. He also ignores the displacement that my Iraqi and Tunisian Jewish family experienced. My grandmother survived the Farhud, a massacre of Bagdhad's Jews. My family never lived in Europe. They were among the 850,000 Jews from the Middle East and North Africa who lost their homes. Israel was their only refuge. I will never be silent while the expulsion of Mizrahi Jews, who are the majority of Israeli Jews today, are erased from history to fit a narrative.

Heading to my next sold out appearance today...and I didn't have to dress up as Mao or dehumanize Israelis and Palestinians to sell more tickets 🤷‍♂️ The Jewish community has not been silenced. I have seen them filling up every venue in Winnipeg, Philadelphia, New York and Montreal. We are showing up more than ever before, because we will always love being Jewish 10x more than the antisemites hate us for it. ✡️

You mean he won't fire a competent Jewish woman from her leadership role for no reason, just because the mob demanded it? I wonder if those voters of his really thought Mamdani was going to grant their every insane request.

The UN commissioner responsible for a report accusing Israel of genocide can’t even keep his facts straight. Any attack that ended up damaging a fertility clinic in Gaza is a tragedy, but how does it prove intent? Especially when the facts keep changing? It’s so clear that the commission just tried to prove a predetermined thesis with whatever evidence they could find. Israel took enormous measures to prevent civilian harm, and fought an enemy, Hamas, that sought to increase it for exactly this reason: To give their allies at the UN ammunition against Israel.

The blast that killed 1 and injured 24 others in northern Israel today was reportedly caused by unexploded ordinance from a rocket that Hezbollah launched at Israeli civilians. Parents should not have to worry about their kids being wounded by submunitions from terror rockets when they go on a school hike. But that is the reality for Israeli families. Wishing a speedy recovery for all the injured, and may the memory of the teenager killed be a blessing 💔
