British pop icon Boy George has arrived in Israel for two concerts in Tel Aviv, despite facing widespread condemnation and boycott calls over his outspoken support for Israel since October 7, 2023. In Jerusalem, President Isaac Herzog honored him for standing with Israel and the Jewish people. He also met Elkana Bohbot, who survived the Nova festival massacre and Hamas captivity, toured the October 7 exhibition at the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem, and placed a prayer note at the Western Wall. His second concert, on November 7, is dedicated to the Nova community, with 1,500 tickets donated to survivors and bereaved families. Thank you, Boy George, for using your voice to stand with Israel and the Jewish people when it matters most!! 🇮🇱🤍 @BoyGeorge @Isaac_Herzog

The Bermuda Triangle of HATE

When young people are proud of their Jewish identity, history, and connection to Israel, they develop greater confidence and resilience. Combined with a strong network of like-minded peers, that pride helps build a generation of empowered leaders and stronger Jewish communities.

SO DISTURBING, how far too many people lack the tools to distinguish fact from emotionally compelling misinformation. And the enemies of Israel count on this high level of ignorance. Not just sad. Dangerous.

Protecting civil rights without building knowledge and pride leaves people vulnerable and disconnected. Building pride without defending those facing discrimination leaves them exposed.

Fighting antisemitism and strengthening Jewish identity are not competing priorities. We need both.

The fight against antisemitism is much like the fight against cancer or Alzheimer’s, in that we must continue investing in research, refining existing treatments and developing new ones with persistence and resolve, while improving lives along the way.

Hamas had turned Simchat Torah into a day of horror, yet two years later Israel reclaimed it as a day of return. Watch the full “United in Memory & Resilience” memorial: bit.ly/4B32x28

Hamas has no plans to disarm. Hamas has rebuilt its tunnels. Hamas has restored its pre-October 7 force of 30,000-40,000 operatives. Hamas has threatened another October 7. And yet the world keeps asking Israel to make concessions.

Mayoral Candidate Encourages Hate Through Boycott - Call on her to change course!
Los Angeles City Council Member and Mayoral candidate reportedly made a statement to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) that: "I believe the best way for working Angelenos to stand in solidarity with Gaza is through non-violent protest, legislative action, and diplomatic pressure, including BDS."* This is unacceptable. No leader should ever encourage the public to support BDS, a campaign that fuels hate around the world, harms Americans economically, tries to shut down Israeli-Palestinian cooperation, and seeks to eliminate the world's only Jewish state. *Source: Journalist Peter Sterne

Today, Israelis head to the polls to vote. Jewish citizens. Muslim citizens. Druze. Christians. Bedouins. Circassians. All at the same polling stations. 36 parties. 120 Knesset seats. Name another country in the Middle East that does this.

Did you know that Sir David Attenborough’s family opened their home to two Jewish sisters, Irene (13) and Helga (12) Bejach, who escaped Nazi Germany in 1939 on the Kindertransport (a rescue effort which brought nearly 10,000 mostly Jewish children from Europe to safety in Britain)? For seven years, Irene and Helga lived as part of the Attenborough family, living in Leicester alongside David, his brothers Richard and John, and their parents, Mary and Frederick.
