As long as British Jews are facing visceral antisemitism, I’ll be wearing this Star of David necklace in solidarity with them next to my own catholic holy medal. I stand in solidarity with Jews and with Israel 🇮🇱
Anne Frank is not an example of "white privilege". She was a Jewish teen who along with millions of Jews was hunted down and marked for death. That is not privilege. Her family were eventually arrested for being Jewish and this teen died an agonising death. Stop politicising her!

In over 20 years, I have never lost my temper and walked off an interview or debate. BUT - denying the atrocities of 7/10, calling us liars about rockets and inferring we deserved 7/10 is a red line. I will not talk to Holocaust deniers and deniers of 7/10/
“Shout so they can hear you all the way up in the ivory towers of the Red Cross in Geneva and all the way down in the Terror Dungeons of Hamas: BRING. THEM. HOME. NOW!”
My speech in Trafalgar Square in London marking 100 days since the massacre. Please watch and share 🇮🇱🇬🇧
Jews are angry today. We are angry. We see what hate speech and misinformation that is spread by celebs, "humanitarians" and arm chair generals results in. We cannot pray, go to school or walk in the streets in safety and peace. Platitudes and faux horror today won't help.
Naama Levy's mother writes: "Testimonies shared by the released hostages leave no more questions. There is no speculation of what Hamas is capable of. What they have done. And what they continue to do to these young girls: the torture, the abuses.

As a South African who grew up during Apartheid and lives the daily reality in Israel I am appalled at
@amnesty
appropriating and exploitation of the painful history of South Africa to push a divisive and hatemongering agenda that does not serve the truth or cause for peace.
Remembering Kristallnacht - 9 November 1938. We remember the synagogues that were burnt,the shops, businesses and homes destroyed. The lives of Europe's Jews changed forever. The Holocaust did not start with gas chambers but with words and discriminatory, antisemitic deeds.
Stop comparing everything to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The systematic extermination of the Jews and persecution of other minorities stands as the greatest crime against humanity. So stop making comparisons. Really, just stop.
Eliyahu David Kay. Immigrated to Israel from South Africa. His family are part of our community here in Modiin and this loss has echoed around our city, South Africa and the world. He was killed in today's terror attack. He was a part of us. May his memory be eternally blessed.
To the media: there is absolutely NO moral equivalence between a counter-terror operation in Jenin where 8 out of 9 killed were confirmed terrorists who were planning a mass attack and the brutal murder of 7 Jews in a house of worship on Int. Holocaust Remembrance Day. None!
Operation Olive Branch underway. Israel's 150 person strong IDF recsuers are in Turkey. This is the 30th mission in the past 41 years. Immensely proud of them!! 🇮🇱🇹🇷
Israel demands that the

pressure Hamas to secure access to the hostages in its Terror Dungeons.
It's not good enough to say "that won't work".
It can at least TRY.
A group of "pro Palestinians" entered a synagogue in Miami to harass Jews, including elderly women who were praying.
The behavior of these individuals is absolutely insane.

A friend who was moving abroad threw out a copy of Golda Meir's "My Life" and I grabbed it before it was consigned to the bin. I opened it a short while later to find that it was signed by the great lady herself. One woman's trash IS another woman's treasure. Literally.
I grew up in South Africa during the years of Apartheid. It was my Jewish values and belonging to a Zionist youth movement, where we read the greats like Elie Wiesel that taught us to stand up and question the Apartheid system. Calling Zionism racism is racist!
A man says that the people in the West who attend anti-Israel marches are doing so because:
“It has become a fashion. These women protesting here… in Gaza they wouldn’t be allowed to open their mouth”
A Gazan student studying in Ukraine fled when the war began. He crossed the border to Moldova and saw two Hatzalah volunteers with an Israeli flag draped on their car. Seeing the flag, he immediately sought their help and they are getting him home (pic below) Can’t make this up!
Ahhh the silence of the "righteous" like

@MarkRuffalo
Mark you do NOT get to define antisemitism! You are NOT a Jew! You are triggered by IHRA because it exposes YOUR anti-Zionism which is antisemitic.
Official. Amnesty International is NOT a human rights organization. Over 500 rockets have been fired at Israeli civilians. This is not "apartheid" or "resistance". This is a war crime. Defund these shills for Iranian terror proxies!!

Tiran Pero's body has been returned to his family. It is a crime against humanity that while he lay in hospital fighting for his life, armed terrorists were able to kidnap him. In front of his distraught family. We cannot imagine their pain. Where is the international outcry?
Today's framing of the narrative by many journalists eager to pin blame on Israel before an investigation is concluded is yet another example I can add to my doctoral dissertation. At this rate, it is writing itself!
Russia is invading Ukraine and BDS obsessively focus on Israel and only Israel. Still think they are a social justice driven, human rights organisation? I didn't think so

Imagine there was a "Day of Hate" for any other minority group. How would you respond or react? So why are you silent when neo-Nazis in America declare today a "Day of Hate" against Jews?

Israelis and Iranians don't hate each other. It is the Iranian regime that doesn't want peace and wants to annihilate Israel. The people want peace. And we Israelis show our solidarity with the people.

@Telegraph
The arrogance is really staggering. He wants to "save them from themselves"? Wow. The more this man opens his mouth, the more arrogant and unlikable he becomes.
Zionism is the returning of the Jewish people to our ancient and ancestral homeland after we were exiled, colonised and persecuted. It is Jewish self-determination. To call it racist or Apartheid IS racist.
As long as the global media are intent on reporting on Israel without context, facts and balance, so many of us will continue to call them out on it. We will not be silent.
Let me get this straight, a terrorist organisation gives out statistics on casualties and the media and others gobble it up without question but a woman who never puts a foot wrong edits a photograph of HER family and there is a collective media meltdown?
Terrorist who shot two near the City of David this morning is a 13 year old from Silwan, East Jerusalem according to YNet Hebrew. 13 years old brought up on a diet of hate indoctrination whose family will receive a stipend from the Palestinian Authority. Let that sink in.

Shouldn't you be asking why was she, a Christian buried almost immediately and had to be exhumed for autopsy (no dignity there!)? Why have Palestinians refused an investigation? The Pal. coroner has already walked back blame of Israel. Will you?
News media, it should not be difficult to write a headline like this "In response to rockets fired from the Gaza strip towards Israel, the IDF struck Hamas targets". See what I did there? Cause and effect. Not just effect. Reporting I accurately has consequences.

in such a disgusting manner only expose their own prejudice and racism. Our Israeli journalists maintain their dignity and continue to hold their heads up high. Am Yisrael Chai!
The comments on Twitter this week have proven what we have known all along - it was and is not about Israel. It is and was never about Zionists or Zionism. It is about us Jews.

Shocking massacre in the Middle East. In Syria. Civilians, many of them children have been slaughtered. Can we get some media attention and some global outrage please?! To ignore this is to be complicit.

@hrw
tweets are about Israel at the expense of other conflicts and human rights violations. This level of obsession and bias kills any credibility he or his organisation has of being human rights activists. He cannot be taken seriously.
Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been killed by Assad and his allies. Where are the protests? The UN resolutions? The disruptions everywhere to normal life? The outraged? The slogans? The universities? The GenZ TikTok folk? Is it because it can't be blamed on Israel or Jews?
In Syria, another school was bombed by the Syrian government while kids were taking classes in Idlib north west of Syria.
Anyone care to protect these kids?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem in Jan 2020. He made headlines in Israel that day, when his delegation gave up their seats at main event of Fifth World Holocaust Forum at Yad Vashem so survivors, who had been denied seats could attend.
The death of Shirin Abu Akleh has been investigated by the IDF, the bullet examined by US forensic experts and the Pal. coroner said it was indeterminable. What we have here is the politicised exploitation of Abu Akleh for a witch hunt against Israel.
I consider myself a tough cookie but seeing someone refer to Holocaust education as "malignant narcissism" on behalf of the Jewish people, as well as "misappropriation of attention" is unlike anything I have ever encountered.
For the many people calling Hamas "a resistance movement" and protesting against Israel defending her citizens from a genocidal terror group, please note that the same terror group just congratulated the Taliban. Let that sink in.
Are you offering courses on Chinese abuse of Uighur Muslims? Or Yazidis in the Middle East? Or Russian atrocities in Ukraine? Or the war in Eritrea? Because until you start focusing on REAL human rights abuses and not imagines, you should consider a course in hypocrisy!
Apartheid is a crime against humanity. To help people deconstruct the government of Israel's apartheid over Palestinians, we have created a 90 minute Human Rights Education course which is free and open to all.
Start learning:
Astonishing, when war breaks out that has nothing to do with us, the focus is on what Israel MUST do. When sham reports released, they MUST be believed. But when Israelis are killed - silence is deafening.
Facts so far: 1) we still do not know who shot Shirin Al Aqlah. 2) Palestinians refuse investigation or to cooperate 3) This is taking place against heightened incitement and a wave of terror that has killed now 20 in Israel 4) You probably aren't hearing this in your news.
And there you have. They don't want no two state, they want all of it. No Jews. No coexistence. No peace. Think BDS etc are still a social justice movement? Evidently not.
The hatred and antisemitism on this platform is staggering. Thank you to our many allies who are standing up and shouting down the hate. I notice all the great famous social justice warriors are silent. But we won't be. We will call out antisemitism however and wherever it is.
