Penn Station. Threw an Israeli flag around myself when I saw a crowd of angry Hamas supporters flood the area. They are cowardly and hide behind their masks. NYPD insisted I remove the flag as the situation was getting dangerous. Would not let me counterprotest.

Last night on CNN: Why are Rashida Tlaib's claims of genocide incorrect? Because Israel seeks peace; Hamas seeks destruction. Why are Rashida Tlaib's claims of genocide dangerous? Because lies can kill; Paul Kessler's death is now being investigated as a hate crime.

School districts that banned Night need to revisit that decision. Non-Jewish students will encounter antisemitism in college. They'll face choices as to whether to pile on, remain silent, or stand up for what is right. Equip them now for that future.

I lived and worked downtown during 9/11 and saw her unending fight to help all those impacted. And no single political act has brought the East Side and West Side closer than the Q train's uptown route which she wrestled into existence. She is a unifier who loves NYC. (2/3)

I am shocked and disgusted by the rally held here in NY this weekend celebrating death or attacks on civilians and showing swastikas. I condemn any demonstration that does this in the strongest possible terms. We must proceed on the basis of recognizing our shared humanity.

Gulbahar Haitiwaji was brutally imprisoned by China simply for being Uyghur. I hope her urgent testimony today to the

Following her release in 2019, Gulbahar Haitiwaji wrote a book recounting her imprisonment.
It’s the first published account of the brutalities she and other Uyghurs suffered in the CCP camps.
