Acclaimed Hungarian Jewish director László Nemes just dropped a truth bomb at Cannes: “There’s an orgy of antisemitism, an absolute, shameless orgy of antisemitism, overtaking the West.” His 2015 masterpiece Son of Saul — a harrowing film about a Sonderkommando at Auschwitz — won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the Cannes Grand Prix. Today? He says it “wouldn’t even make the Oscar shortlist.” Because “of the politicization of cinemas, because anything that’s Jewish is now considered . . .nobody would touch it with a 10-foot pole.” This is where we are. Jews are being erased from the stories of their own genocide while Hollywood and the cultural elite cheer. The entertainment industry’s antisemitic purge is real — and it’s accelerating. We must call it out. Every single time. Thanks László Nemes for doing so at the risk of your own career. #JewHatred #Antisemitism

#NY10 EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Dan Goldman urges ‘no’ vote on Park Slope Food Coop’s proposed Israel boycott, warning of antisemitism. Brad Lander tells me he’d vote against the resolution if he were a member, but did not take a position on how members should vote.

Reminder: 1) Donald Trump is far more popular in the Israeli Knesset than in America. 2) Benjamin Netanyahu is far more popular in the US Congress than in Israel.







Proud to join 250,000 people on the streets of London today to commemorate the Nakba and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people. For 78 years Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing, occupation, apartheid and genocidal violence - but the struggle for liberation continues. From London to Gaza, we say: from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸
