October 7th changed the world, and completely changed mine. I cannot rest until I know I did everything I could to inspire, educate, and empower our people, and make the world a better place for my daughter and future generations of Jews. Never Again is NOW.

Horrifying footage from London today.
A man punched two visibly Jewish women in the face, leaving one badly bruised, with reports of additional victims.
Newly revealed documents show Jews facing roughly 10 TIMES the per-capita hate crime rate of Muslims.
My mother’s an opera singer and producer. I grew up going to operas. I could never imagine an opera singer being so unprofessional and classless as to unfurl a flag after a performance. It’s completely inappropriate.
And there is/was no genocide in Gaza, you racist antizionists.
We are disturbed to learn that @CalgaryOpera has removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from future performances of "Tosca" after he unveiled a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night. Art is political, and artists should not be punished for expressing support for the Palestinian people as they face a genocide. This decision must be reversed.

A new consensus must be built in Western society that antizionism, and not just classical antisemitism, is out of bounds. That does not mean simply repeating that ‘antizionism is antisemitism’ or reducing, inaccurately, antizionism to classical antisemitism. It means making space precisely for a reckoning with antizionism itself and its exclusion from social legitimacy.
Life’s been its most challenging lately. Sometimes I question what I’m doing now. But, to be Am Y’Israel means to be the People who Wrestle w/G-d. Recently Ive been wrestling a lot. Yet reading a message like this makes me feel that perhaps I am where I need to be, B’Ezrat Hashem

WaPo and the other Fake News outlets: “SETTLER VIOLENCE”
The whole story:

🚨 HOW THE “SETTLER VIOLENCE” NARRATIVE GETS CREATED
This isn’t just an olive harvest.
Palestinians arrive in the fields alongside Israeli far-left activists, foreign activists and journalists.
Then the confrontation begins.
Stones are thrown at Jews.
The cameras keep rolling.
But when the footage is published, the focus is often on the Jewish response, while what triggered it disappears from the frame.
The result: a partial picture becomes an international headline.
Provocation. Reaction. Selective footage. Narrative.
And then the world is told: “settler violence.”

Hamas affiliated media just destroyed the fake narrative @the_andrey_x and @infinite_jaz spread
They took pride that the incident started when 200 Palestinians committed an organized attack with slingshots and fireworks against an Israeli post under the cover of "olive harvesting" with the protection of foreign journalists
They were later repelled by 40 Israelis.
Some of you thought “globalize the intifada” was just a fun thing to chant at “protests.”
We warned you…
People think identifying a pattern of terrorism/incitement towards Jews in Judea & Samaria means that I don’t condemn Jews if they do immoral things. That’s not true.
But part of dehumanization is demanding different standards.
Why is violence in only one direction focused on?

Being Jewish is like when someone is mad at you for something you did in a dream they had. 😵💫
I fear that the “settler violence” narrative is part of a deliberate push to set the stage for another 10/7-style attack.
The dehumanization of Jews in Judea & Samaria, the provocation towards them, & decontextualization of what’s usually their response to violence is alarming.
The almost daily media spectacles now surrounding settler violence, the distorted and absurd accounts, the dishonesty involved, the shameless violence of antizionist terrorists and the incitement by foreign activists erased, and voyeuristic and pathological gaze on the settler, is one of the more racist campaigns I have witnessed in a long time. Completely lurid.
When the United States and the UK had an arms embargo on Israel during their 1948 War of Independence (which was an attempt at another Holocaust by 5 Arab armies), the Czechs were one of the only countries that helped Israel acquire weapons.
This should come as no suprise:
One function of antizionism is to remove Jews from society (then, from earth).
It is as genocidal in nature as nazi-style antisemitism, but thank G-d Jews now have Israel, and the IDF, to prevent multiple attempts by antizionists at a second Holocaust.
Please bear with this slightly long post because it is one hell of an illustration of Israel-derangement syndrome in Ireland. An international conference of 'Special Envoys & Coordinators Combating Antisemitism' is currently taking place in Ireland. There was a reception for delegates this evening at the Department of Foreign Affairs. Maurice Cohen of the Irish Jewish Representative Council told the delegates and other guests that he had booked 70 rooms at the Herbert Park Hotel for delegates. But once the hotel discovered what the event was for, they cancelled the booking asking if the conference had a connection to the IDF. (It doesn't, and what a bizarre question to ask). How deeply ironic that this should happen to delegates attending a conference dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism. What this does say about today's Ireland? Nothing good. This story is eminently newsworthy. Journalists should contact Maurice Cohen. (The hotel should be sued). @Alan__Shatter @abrahamson_ed @RachelMoiselle
