A Palestinian woman was sold by her family into a forced marriage with a relative in Saudi Arabia. She managed to escape to Canada, left Islam, and converted to Christianity. Since then, she has been outspoken against what she describes as the genocidal ideology within Palestinian society, one that seeks to destroy Israel and slaughter Jews as human sacrifices for Allah. This is not theoretical for her. She lived inside the system and saw it from within. Her story is a painful reminder that the hatred toward Jews is not just political, it is deeply rooted in ideology and culture.

another week, another village in Nigeria massacred and slaughtered by Islamists. And as always, the world is silent. No word from the Pope. No word from the UN. Nothing from France. UK. Italy. Spain. Anyone. Just silence. So weird.

As Trump and his friends continue to attack abortion rights across the country, I will never hesitate to go toe-to-toe with anyone threatening reproductive healthcare in California.

@cenkuygur @TrackAIPAC The G.P. guy in Maine is a huge embarrassment to our Party. It’s a sad state of political affairs when the best that Maine Democrats can find is a Nazi-adjacent bully.

We finally have a candidate that is beating Susan Collins in Maine! @grahamformaine has an unprecedented seven point lead! So, Democratic leaders should be ecstatic, right? Nope, exact opposite. He won’t serve Israel and the corporate donors, so they’re pissed he’s going to win.

Calling for the internment of Americans — including Americans who identify with Israel — is as deeply un-American as Maureen Galindo herself. Galindo is a moral disgrace who has no business running for—let alone holding—elected office. I hope the voters of TX-35 resoundingly reject the deep rot of antisemitism and anti-Americanism at the core of her candidacy.

@PollTracker2024 Stevens is okay, but State Senator Mallory McMorrow is great and the only candidate who can best unite our Party against the MI Republicans in November.

@joegarofoli @sfchronicle Hopefully, this will keep the borderline nut-case and hate-friendly extremist Chakrabarti out of the top two.

@LancePrevert @curatorWH Not far worse - but bad nevertheless.

@curatorWH Its a shame that Jackie Robinson gets all of the adulation ..Hank dealt with far worse

Two Jewish baseball legends are enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax. Both endured relentless antisemitic taunts from fans and opponents, yet rose to greatness, becoming a source of national Jewish pride.

One of the biggest historical scams people successfully pulled off was convincing the world that Arabs only started massacring Jews in the Land of Israel because of “occupation” and modern Israel. The 1929 Hebron Massacre alone completely destroys that narrative. On August 24, 1929, Arab mobs in Hebron slaughtered one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. There was no Israel. No IDF. No checkpoints. No “occupation.” No settlements. Just Jews. Hebron’s Jewish community had existed for centuries. Many were deeply religious families with roots going back generations, long before political Zionism even existed. But after weeks of incitement and false rumors surrounding Jewish access to holy sites in Jerusalem, Arab mobs stormed Jewish homes and began butchering civilians. Jews were stabbed, beaten, mutilated, and hacked to death with axes. Families were murdered inside their homes. Synagogues were ransacked. Children and elderly Jews were not spared. 67 Jews were murdered. Some survivors were only saved because a handful of neighbors hid Jewish families in their homes while the mobs searched the streets outside. The massacre was so horrific that the surviving Jews were evacuated by the British, effectively ending a Jewish community in Hebron that had existed for hundreds of years. And this is the part people desperately try to avoid: This happened in 1929. Before “occupation.” Before “settlements.” Before “the Nakba.” Before modern Israel existed. People can argue and complain all day about modern politics, borders, settlements, or governments. But the claim that anti-Jewish violence in the Land of Israel only began because of modern Israel falls apart the moment you look at what happened in Hebron in 1929.

@madrid_mike One week

Good chance we don’t know the top two candidates in the California Governor’s race until three weeks after Election Day. We count slow out here.

@umichvoter Katie Porter all the way.

How would you vote in the California Governors race

@joegarofoli Better solution would be to use #RankedChoiceVoting (RCV) to determine the “top two” in the open Primary. Let’s pass a ballot proposition that institutes this for statewide races.

BREAKING from @Jerusalem_Post: A Palestinian man from Gaza has formally demanded that the International Criminal Court investigate 14 Hamas leaders for crimes committed against Palestinians. The man lost his wife, children, and other family members during the war in Gaza. He argues that if Hamas had not committed war crimes against Palestinians, particularly the crime of using civilians as human shields, his family and countless other Gazans would still be alive. War crimes and crimes against humanity listed in the submission include using civilians as human shields, attacking civilians, causing great suffering, destruction of property, excessive incidental death, injury, or damage, conscripting children, murder, extermination, torture, persecution, and more. The Hamas leaders named in the submission are Izz al-Din al-Haddad, Khaled Mashaal, Mahmoud al-Zahar, Mohammed Odeh, Muhannad Rajab, Khalil al-Hayya, Mousa Abu Marzook, Ghazi Hamad, Izzat al-Rishq, Fathi Hamad, Nizar Awadallah, Husam Badran, Zaher Jabarin, and Basem Naim. For decades, innocent Palestinians have paid the price for Hamas's genocidal war against Israel. They deserve justice. The submission was filed on behalf of the Gazan man by American attorneys @ElliotMalin and Eli Rosenbaum and French attorney @sarah_scialom.

I just saw ad that tries (poorly) to make it sound that #TomSteyer is anti-environmental and Secretary Becerra is a better choice. Yet, the real story is looking at who paid 4 these misleading ads. Steyer is strong on Climate matters. And Katie P. Is a better choice over Becerra.

Valerie Hamaty, an Israeli Christian Arab and a famous singer in Israel, debunks the lie about Israel being an apartheid state: "How is Israel an apartheid state if I am in this show, singing in Hebrew and Arabic? I'm Israeli, and we love each other."
