Three were installed in Berlin today in honour of my late Grandma and her parents who escaped on the eve of Kristallnacht. The most extraordinary day recalling the most unfathomable stories. So grateful to @Stolpersteine_B #Stolpersteine

Two people have been stabbed in Golders Green - the heart of London’s Jewish community - at the bottom of my road. The Government needs to get to the root cause of this problem. There can be no stone left turned. The silent majority needs to speak out now. Before it really is too late. Although I fear it already is.

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

It is now 12 dead. 30 wounded. And the heroic and unarmed civilian who attacked and disarmed the terrorist at the Chanukah massacre in Sydney and seized his rifle is Ahmed El Ahmad. Ahmed, 43, is a father of two and a fruit shop owner. He risked his life to save others. He was shot and wounded. Without his heroism, casualties would have been far higher.

The news from Bondi beach is grim. For many it will have terrible echoes of the massacres on October 7th. For Jews living here it will feel painfully close to the murders at a synagogue in Manchester. It is a reminder - if one was needed - that Jews all over the world now live in fear. If you struggle to understand that fear - you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community - I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand. Tonight Jews everywhere will light candles to mark the start of the festival of lights - Hanukkah. Few will feel able to celebrate. Many will be worrying about what might happen next.

Riding in a @Waymo autonomous vehicle is an amazing futuristic experience, straight out of science fiction. So excited to see the service coming to my hometown in London 🇬🇧! Can't wait for Londoners to try them out soon!

Auschwitz Memorial@AuschwitzMuseum·
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Today my family and I are thinking of my grandmother Grete Wiener who died on this day 80 years ago, starved in Belsen but having seen her girls to freedom. A PhD economist, an aide in Nazi resistance work, & in support for refugees. I never got to call her Granny, but I do now.

If Jews really ran Hollywood I’m pretty sure our first pick for Special Ambassador would not have been Mel Gibson. 🤷🏻‍♂️
