@CoreyWriting This has been going on in front of this synagogue every Saturday morning for 20 years. It continues to get more brazen as anti-Israel sentiments become more socially accepted, but it's not new. We are glad to have wider outrage, maybe it will bring about change finally.

More antisemitic photos emerging from Ann Arbor. They're also wearing the keffiyeh, so there's no confusion what their agenda is. Interesting how they're minimizing or denying the Holocaust while advancing their cause.

🧵Amir Makled, @MichiganDems choice for @UMich regent,who retweeted antisemitic posts and a post mourning Nasrallah, was at @A2schools last night to express appreciation for trustee Rima Mohammad, who had pressured the district to remove "terrorist" from its October 7 statement

The head of a major teachers’ union should not claim that the United States is being run by Nazis. Such rhetoric trivializes the horrors of the Holocaust and inflames an already volatile political climate marked by rising violence. We should expect higher standards of judgment and responsibility from a public figure entrusted with representing our nation’s educators.

THIS MORNING 🗓️ The Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions, chaired by @RepRickAllen, is holding a hearing unmasking union antisemitism at 10:15am ET. Watch the hearing live ⤵️ youtube.com/live/XJI76UUDO…

The fake narrative never ceases to amaze me. Try this: “Homes of Suspected Hate Crime Vandals Searched by FBI” freep.com/story/news/edu…

@ShabbosK a.co/d/6Lt8RpZ This should be required reading for everyone in legacy Jewish orgs.

IMPORTANT READ FOR THE JEWISH ESTABLISHMENT: Over the last 10 days, I asked 116 Jewish students across America to name Jewish non profits that have been helpful in any way pertaining to combatting antisemitism on college campuses. These are not just any students, but those who’ve testified to Congress, regularly appear on national media, filed lawsuits, etc. They are on the frontlines and doing more than anyone else to secure the Jewish future. To get on the list, a non profit simply needed more than 1 student to agree. The results are pretty shocking. Certain organizations that raise hundreds of millions of dollars annually couldn’t even get more than 1 student to consider them helpful. Many expressed anger at being used by Jewish non profits for fundraising flyers sent to donors, never receiving funding for events, being ignored, and more. If you are a Jewish non profit and your name didn’t even make it, I encourage you to ask why, and then *immediately* reach out so you can speak directly with those on the frontline and ask how you can help. One thing is clear: Jewish students on college campuses are not tomorrow’s leaders, they are today’s leaders. Amplify them. Listen to them. Thank them. With the exception of Chabad at the top, named non-profits below are listed in random order. Asterisk denotes most students disagreed with the choice, but it nevertheless received more than 1 vote. I personally did not vote. Obviously, this poll is neither scientific nor unanimous.

@RitchieTorres Why oh why do more Democrats not speak out like you? Where is their courage? Thank you @RitchieTorres

The United States Congress will overwhelmingly reject any attempt to defund and disarm Israel as the Jewish State fights for its security and survival. Despite the noise of the far left, Israel Derangement Syndrome remains the fringe rather than the mainstream of American politics.

@BillAckman Is there a university you would write a recommendation for?

A friend was asked to write a recommendation for his daughter who is applying to Yale. Worth a read. Dear , I am unwilling to write a letter of recommendation in support of your daughter's application to Yale. I no longer do that. It is not that I don't believe that she is qualified, on the contrary it is because I do. You wouldn't ask me to write a letter of recommendation for her admission to Hamas. But Yale is no different than Hamas, a cult that abides no disagreement, and a cult certain of its purpose and mission beyond reflection. Yale is potentially even more dangerous. Hamas will be defeated shortly. Yale will continue to send its graduates into positions of power for years. A recent study at Harvard found that roughly 50% of the students and professors wouldn't discuss "uncomfortable" topics. An essential life skill is the ability to change your mind. She won't learn that at any Ivy league school. Their reputations are still so strong that their faculty, staff and graduates all possess the arrogant certainty of religious fanatics. I am sorry to disappoint you. I wish her the best in her search for a school, Signed xxxxxxxxxx

Saying the Jews in Amsterdam deserved to be attacked is like saying George Floyd deserved to die.

@ShabbosK Yes!

The antidote to Chuck Schumer, to bringing back young American Jews to the Democratic Party, and to standing up against antisemitism is waiting in the Bronx. And we American Jews must do everything in our power to support and encourage Ritchie to run for Senate. #RunRitchieRun

@LenaKauffman The call to "rescind" the resolution is news to me. When and where did that happen?

There are 15 people signed up for #a2schoolboard public commentary tonight. Several are submitting commentary against rescinding the district's resolution on Gaza. Also comments on the staffing crisis at many schools including Pioneer and Mitchell. drive.google.com/file/d/1WwO2XG…

It took a Kamala Harris presidential candidacy for non-Jewish Black Americans to experience what Black Jews have been facing for years. The anti-Israel crowd that pretends to be pro-Palestinian is fundamentally anti-Black. blogs.timesofisrael.com/notyourabeed/

@rubin_a1 @EndJewHatred @UMich Looks like Salma weaseled her way into the Kamala Walz event yesterday (per videos I’ve seen). I have no confidence that UM will prevent her from infusing virulent hate on UM’s campus again this fall.

Turns out, Harris and Walz were holding a rally at the airport so naturally the pro-Hamas crowd had to show up to make their “demands” heard. It’s seriously getting old. #whatashonda

My 1st reaction was to remove the Star of David necklace around my neck and shove it in my purse. Second, praying they’d be gone before my kids had to walk through the chaos.

Today, I went to pick up my kids at DTW airport. As I was parking, I saw two keffiyah-clad men walking toward the entrance, then walked a bit further to find a large pro-Hamas protest in front of Arrivals, blocking arriving passengers. 🧵
