Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
What Hamas did to Bibas family, including those two poor boys, was absolutely awful. What Israel has done to 62,000 Palestinians, including 14,500 children, is also awful. If you say it isn't because they were "collateral damage," you're so gullible. That's obvious propaganda.
We call on the Oxford Union to publish the full speech of @MosabHasanYOSEF immediately, in full, with no muting of the sound. All of it, abuse from the audience and attempted eviction by the President and all.
Please retweet and add your voice to this demand.
@Olivia_Reingold@jonsac I watched @jonsac uncensored twenty three minute speech and I was struck by two things - 1) his calm, grace, intellectual and heartfelt presentation in the face of the abuse from this abomination of an audience and 2) this abomination of an audience.
Watch the girl in the back row carefully. This is what happens when you try to make even the most measured defense of Israel. Another student even rolled her eyes when @jonsac mentioned his late father, a Holocaust survivor. He is continuously interrupted with insults like "genocidal maniac" and "liar.”
I used to think that antisemitism was just calling Jews dirty or greedy, but no—I have realized it also looks like this.
Shooting the UnitedHealthcare CEO is a terrible thing to do. It’s deeply immoral and solves nothing. At the same time, 76,000 Americans die every year because of the health insurance industry. I also mourn for them. And I don’t see any press coverage or concern for their deaths.
@Delta worst stewardess ever on flight DL0263 from CDG to JFK in comfort plus on 11/20/24. Absolutely the most condescending and rude person I have had the displeasure of experiencing on a flight. I would be happy to share more over a DM.
@RitchieTorres I desperately want to vote for VP Harris, but the threat to cut aid is giving me pause. If the GOP had put up a decent candidate, they would have my vote and it would be the very first time I've not voted for a democrat.
There has been a concerted effort by the Anti-Zionist far left and the isolationist far right to end security aid to Israel.
Cutting aid to Israel at a time when the Jewish State is fighting for its survival and facing attacks from heavily armed existential threats on seven fronts should be a non-starter. The free world cannot survive on the fragile foundation of fair-weather friendship.
@GLNoronha Sounds like poetic justice to me. Are we supposed to feel sorry for her? Welcome to the world of adulthood. Bad behavior has consequences … the end. You are not the victim here friend!
@RepRashida Hamas broke the ceasefire when they launched rockets into Israel DURING the ceasefire. I think your fingers got a little excited and moved too quickly. You left out the most important detail silly!
The images coming out of Gaza are horrific. Netanyahu has resumed his genocidal bombing campaign. We need a permanent ceasefire now. End the apartheid. Free Palestine.
@StopAntisemites She is literally the scum of the earth. Sounds like she must have a lot of time on her hands to spew misinformation and hate since she’s out of a job.
Amanda Seales, formerly known by the stage name Amanda Diva, is an American comedian and actress that is promoting Hamas terrorists to her two million plus Instagram followers.
Take a listen …
On Oct. 7 Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, massacring 1,200 people during an orgy of torture, rape & murder, and kidnapped some 240 others in the single biggest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust.
For the @nytimes, these were simply "raids" carried out by "militants."

This "disfigured woman" is a car bomber who, having blown herself up in a an attempt to kill Israelis, demanded that Israelis pay for her plastic surgeries. This is how The New York Times covered her release.
It’s interesting that the BBC take the word of a terrorist organisation namely Hamas as gospel, but anything Isreal and the IDF is deemed entirely unreliable. This is particularly interesting considering the BBC were the organisation who were happy to broadcast factual inaccuracies, which they later had to walk back. What a joke.
BBC: We spoke to some Israelis today but we can’t independently verify whether they weren’t actually shape shifting reptiles. The Israelis (possible reptiles) showed us footage of massacred Jews - however there is the possibility those weren’t real bodies and were in fact holograms? It could be possible couldn’t it? We haven’t been able to independently verify whether they were real or holograms - so just keep in mind they might have been holograms. In other news - we at the BBC aren’t like Q-anon conspiracy theorists…
Hamas math: being able to find, verify, and tally "10,000 dead civilians" with perfect accuracy but lose track of 25% of the kids they stole from Israel.
Remember the blast door at the end of the 55m tunnel, at the bottom of the 10m tunnel shaft inside the Shifa Hospital complex?
We breached it. We're in.
