Together again

Genocide is the systematic extermination of a people, not because of what they’ve done, but because of who they are. When Muhammad ordered the Jews of Banu Qurayza to be lined up, and slaughtered 700 of them in a single night, that was genocide. When ISIS stormed into Yazidi and Christian villages in Iraq, massacred men, enslaved women, and turned girls into sex slaves, that was genocide. When the Nazis rounded up Jews, forced them into gas chambers, and burned their bodies, that was genocide. The common denominator in every genocide is that the victims were slaughtered not for anything they did, but because their existence was unacceptable to their oppressors. When Hamas terrorists stormed into Israeli villages, slaughtering 1,200 people, men, women, children, elderly, burning families alive, beheading babies, raping and butchering women, shooting civilians in their beds, that was a Genocide. They hunted civilians down, house by house. They went into bomb shelters not to escape bombs, but to execute families hiding inside. When Israel fights back, when it retaliates to eliminate the same terrorists who committed genocide, when it fights to rescue hostages, when it takes military action against a terror group that hides behind civilians, that was not a genocide. Genocide is what Hamas did on October 7. War is what Israel is doing to stop Hamas from doing it again. Those who have been marching in the streets, screaming “genocide” are nothing more than blind followers who have no idea what they’re saying. They chant slogans fed to them by terrorists, acting as puppets in a propaganda war they don’t even understand.

Emotional moment: The tefillin of Miki Nahum, 61, and a father of 4, who was killed in the Iranian missile attack on Bat Yam, have been found and returned to his daughters The tefillin were found intact, despite minor tears in the bag that held them.

Exploiting the Museum and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to sanitize “globalize the intifada” is outrageous and especially offensive to survivors. Since 1987 Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner. All leaders must condemn its use and the abuse of history.

A domestic terrorist went hunting Jews last night in Wash DC open firing outside a Jewish event killing 2 Jews. The terrorist Elias Rodriguez yelled “Free Palestine” as he got arrested. This type of tragedy is the natural progression of events when the morons running our colleges, far left politicians, and hate merchants on social media continue to normalize and seemingly encourage anti semitism in this country. The least surprising part about this tragedy is that the killer hated America long before the conflict in the Middle East. He was an active member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation and the People’s Congress of Resistance. He was a serial agitator as so many of the Free Palestine movement are. For them this isn’t just about the war in Gaza. This is about hating America and our way of life. And the more that antisemitism is normalized in this country the more it emboldens these lunatics to commit these heinous acts. The bottom line is that nobody in this country should be intimidated or fear for their safety because of their religion but here we are.

And this is why every event in Jewish life vets attendees, and only sends you the location right before the event, and every synagogue spends a small fortune on security, and your trunk is checked for bombs when you park at the JCC, and the community feels constantly besieged...

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board, My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days. On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival. For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels. So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha. This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities. You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered. Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial. This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

Words Tim Wakefield wrote in his phone before he passed away. Posted by his wife. Powerful words we should all live by.

@epaleezeldin Can the EPA deregulate the auto stop-start systems in newer vehicles? It’s ridiculous that car owners can’t permanently switch this feature off.

Today is going to be the most consequential day of deregulation in U.S. history. Stay tuned and buckle up!

Name the most random Knick possible.

@AdamSandler Loved him in Happy Gilmore and Freaks and Geeks. May his memory be a blessing

Oh man. Worshipped Joe growing up. Always had me and my brother laughing. Count Floyd, Guy Caballero. Any move he made. He crushed as border guard in Stripes. Couldn’t be more fun to have him heckle me on the golf course. The nicest guy you could know. Genius of a comedian. And a true sweetheart. Perfect combo. Much love to his kids and thanks to Joe for all the greatness he gave us all.

@jerryferrara Deuce might end up being the player we wanted Ntilikina to be.

He’s been amazing. Great story. But Deuce’s story is different to me. He’s been on a grind. Prescious just needed to find his chance and his role. Both have been unreal.
