@StopAntisemites @TheLeoTerrell She made her profile private! Los Angeles has the largest Jewish population in the entire state! That was such a stupid thing to do! This city is Jewish dominated

Meet L.A.-based resident Dylan Keese-Forster.
Dylan thinks it’s ok to cut down the Israeli flag at a private eatery, climbing on top of the bar to do it.
This brazen vandalism and hate should never be tolerated.

@tiagoguilhermef Plenty of middle eastern Jews gladly moved to Israel after 1948, because they considered it their ancestral homeland.
English
The history of Jews from Arab countries is not the moral trump card you think it is.
First, many Jews did not simply “flee Arab hatred” in a vacuum. There were documented cases in which Zionist groups promoted fear, instability, and even attacks that pushed Jewish communities toward emigration to Israel. That history cannot be erased just because it is inconvenient.
Second, even if we accepted your version entirely, Palestinians have absolutely nothing to do with what Arab governments allegedly did to Jews. Palestinians did not expel Jews from Iraq, Yemen, Morocco, Egypt, or anywhere else. You cannot punish Palestinians, steal Palestinian land, bomb Palestinian families, or deny Palestinian refugees their rights because of what other Arab states supposedly did. Collective punishment does not become moral just because you redirect it at a weaker people.
Third, the creation of Israel was not led by Middle Eastern Jews. Political Zionism was overwhelmingly a European Ashkenazi movement. The architects of the Zionist project, the institutions that built the state, and the militias that carried out the Nakba were not primarily Jews from the Middle East. Mizrahi and Arab Jews were absorbed later into a state project they did not create.
And no, Egypt not opening the border does not magically make Hamas “the issue.” Palestinians are not required to disappear into Egypt so Israel can finish the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. The point is not that Palestinians should be relocated somewhere else. The point is that they have the right to live safely in their own homeland.
Saying “Arab countries should take them in” is just another way of saying Palestinians should be removed from Palestine. That is not humanitarianism. That is transfer.
Also, population growth does not disprove genocide or ethnic cleansing. A population can grow while being occupied, besieged, displaced, starved, bombed, and denied basic rights. The issue is not whether Palestinians had children. The issue is whether Israel has the right to collectively punish, displace, and destroy them. It does not.
So no, Hamas is not the root of this. The root is dispossession, occupation, apartheid, blockade, and the ongoing denial of Palestinian self-determination.

Oh but it was ok for Arab countries to expel 800,000 Jews and make Israel absorb them, right? If you had relatives that were ruled by "freedom fighter" terrorists that didn't build bomb shelters for them and constantly used them as involuntary martyrs by attacking a "genocidal regime," how evil would you be to stand on principal and say "I'd rather them die than take them in"?! Egypt doesn't open the border because they don't want Hamas infiltrating and using Egypt as a launching pad to attack Israel. And Palestinians don't want to go their either. They were treated a lot worse when Egypt ruled Gaza. Just face the fact that Hamas is the issue. The population doubled since 2005 before Hamas thought it was a good idea to carry out Oct 7.

@afalkhatib One member of the UN investigating team had an extreme pro-Hamas viewpoint.
The other members of the UN team overruled this person, with the result being a UN report that catalogued numerous crimes committed by Hamas against the people of Gaza.
The UN did it's job well.
English
The United Nations and Hamas: A Toxic Relationship? A close friend of mine from Gaza City, tortured nearly to death by Hamas, a well‑known activist against the group, and someone I helped evacuate during the war, was featured in the UN Human Rights Council’s report documenting Hamas’s abuses against Palestinian civilians: executions, torture, beatings, the misuse of medical facilities, and the terrorizing of women and children.
When he met with the UN investigation team, one investigator was openly sympathetic to Hamas and the “resistance” narrative, signaling from the start that she doubted his testimony. He then spent five hours convincing the rest of the team that Hamas had, in fact, tortured him, despite extensive evidence of his injuries circulating on social media and a medical examination confirming blunt‑force trauma consistent with organized abuse, not random violence or Israeli bombardment. He even had to walk the investigators, including Ms. pro‑Hamas, through how his case fits into hundreds of others across Gaza, and how Hamas itself has filmed and publicly released its own executions, beatings, and torture to terrorize the population.
Imagine that: Hamas documenting its own crimes on video, and supposedly serious investigators refusing to believe what is right in front of them. Imagine a human rights inquiry that includes someone openly aligned with the very group under investigation. It forces a hard question: why are parts of the UN system so compromised when it comes to Hamas that they cannot think beyond Israel’s actions long enough to examine the crimes of Palestinian actors, crimes that are equally harmful, shameful, and deserving of condemnation? And why are some so eager to believe Palestinians when the accusation is against Israel, yet so reluctant when the accusation is against Hamas, even when the evidence is overwhelming?

@UJAFederation Posts like this are the primary cause of the rise in antisemitism in the past few years.
English
As millions of Israelis take shelter tonight following Iran’s missile attacks and new emergency restrictions across the country, we are reminded that Israel continues to face very real threats.
We condemn this attack on Israeli civilians and stand in solidarity with the people of Israel.
Earlier today, 60,000 people came together at the Walk with Israel in a powerful demonstration of pride, unity, and support. Tonight, that support feels more important than ever.
The events unfolding in Israel are a reminder that our connection to Israel is not symbolic—it is personal. When Israelis face uncertainty and danger, our community stands with them.
English
@ThatZionistGirl Exactly. The US should withdraw all of it's forces from the Persian Gulf, and allow Israel to fight their war on their own.
English
Let’s be clear, Israel is not asking America to fight their war. They are asking us to stop holding them back to fight their own, and the rest of civilized societies for that matter. I love America, I am and always will be America first. America first is not sitting idly by begging on our knees to make temporary “peace” with terrorists who are simply just waiting to build themselves up enough to destroy us. #iran #israel #america

@TheWopObama I hope people realize that you're trolling here.

@EYakoby Israeli settlers kill unarmed Arab civilians in the West Bank on an almost daily basis. Those killings don't make front page news, either.
English
This morning, an Israeli Arab terrorist opened fire on innocent people inside a McDonalds.
He continued his bloodthirsty rampage in 3 different locations.
A 35-year-old man was killed, 8 people injured.
Why won’t this make it into the media?

@AbubakerAbedW I don't think you know what the word "invincible" means

@farrarimilk @TheBabylonBee @UpInTheHills No new wars!
Release the Epstein files!
America first!
And then Trump took office, and proceeded to do the opposite.

@SemiticSnkrhead @HenshiG @jvpliveNY @_ZachFoster The goofy trope about Jewish people eating babies and drinking their blood came along before Zionism, and the attacker didn't mention Israel, so this is an actual case of antisemitism.
English
@HenshiG I'm really curious what anti-antisemitism crusaders like @jvpliveNY and @_ZachFoster had to say about it. After all, they are against conflating Jews with Israel. Who could forget their condemnation of Jewish groups being banned from Rome Pride?
Wait, they said nothing?
English
Our collective heart is shattered and our blood calls out for justice.
A young Jewish woman — a 23-year-old nurse — was viciously assaulted on the NYC subway in broad daylight. A woman screamed the medieval blood libel “Jews are eating kids!” at her, “I smell the kids on you,” then choked her, threw her to the ground, beat her, and ripped out chunks of her hair. The victim ended up hospitalized with a concussion.
This wasn’t random rage — it was pure, ancient Jew-hatred unleashed in 2026 New York.
And where is Mayor Zohran Mamdani? Four days of deafening silence. No condemnation. No statement. No leadership.
This is not leadership. This is complicity.
When the highest elected official in our city refuses to speak out against a brazen antisemitic attack — especially amid a shocking 70% surge in anti-Jewish hate crimes — it sends a clear message: Jewish New Yorkers are fair game. Mamdani’s rhetoric, his policies, and his selective silence have helped foster an environment where medieval blood libels are shouted on our subways and Jews are targeted for simply existing.
This young woman could have been any one of us. Any Jewish mother, daughter, sister, grandmother riding the train home. She is someone’s child. Someone who chose to heal others — and was brutalized for being Jewish.
How many more attacks will it take? How many more silent days from City Hall?
We are not strangers in this city. Brooklyn, our neighborhoods, our history — we built lives here after the Holocaust. We deserve to ride the subway, walk the streets, and live without fear.
Enough. Call out the hate. Demand leadership that protects every New Yorker — including Jews.
Silence in the face of blood libels and violence is not neutrality. It is permission.
My heart weeps for this young woman.
Never again means never again — not even in 2026 New York.
English
@KathleenWoodnys @NYCMayor Were you offended when Zamdani celebrated the Jewish holiday of Passover with Jewish New Yorkers?
x.com/i/status/20364…
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
This Sunday, I had the privilege of joining Chasdei Lev to help distribute food to working families and educators ahead of Passover. As New Yorkers prepare for Pesach, organizations like Chasdei Lev remind us what community care looks like in action—making sure every family can celebrate with dignity. In a city as wealthy as ours, no one should have to worry about putting food on the table for the holidays. Grateful to stand alongside those doing the work every day.
English
Your feelings are obvious, @NYCMayor.
Nobody should begrudge any community’s religious celebration. The issue is your pattern of smiles and cameras for some, chilling silence for others.
A mayor’s job is to unite New Yorkers, but you have done the opposite. Shameful!
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
It was wonderful to celebrate Eid-al-Adha at Gracie Mansion with so many of New York’s young people. Eid Mubarak!

@elikowaz Hopefully, the parade organizers & politicians will join you in disavowing Smotrich et al.
English
Israel's far-right ministers weren't invited to the NYC Israel Day Parade. They weren't on the consulate's list. The organizers didn't know they were coming.
They showed up, walked to the front anyway, and handed Mamdani's boycott a cover story it hadn't earned.

@VaughnEGolden Embarrassing and shameful is marching in a march that has war criminals as its esteemed guests:

Rafael Shimunov 🍉 🕎@rafaelshimunov
Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City. These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today. 🧵
English
"I think it's fucking embarrassing and shameful," Rep. Mike Lawler says of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's refusal to march in yesterday's Israel Day Parade.
"He can have his views on foreign policy, but you still go in support of your Jewish American New Yorkers who are increasingly under attack, who have seen violent hate crimes rise, who have been targeted outside of synagogue and yeshiva, who have been assaulted. And he goes and rides a bicycle. Are you fucking kidding me? Take the training wheels off and be a big boy."

@deborahlipstadt @NYPDPC @MikeBloomberg You should be ashamed to have matched with such vile people

Brava Jessica Tisch @NYPDPC and @MikeBloomberg and all the security personnel. I am glad they were there and devastated that they were needed.
Jessica S. Tisch@NYPDPC
Beautiful day marching up Fifth Avenue with @MikeBloomberg for the annual Israel Day Parade. The NYPD was not messing around with security: this was the most extensive security plan that the NYPD has ever put together for this event so that everyone could celebrate safely. Thank you to every member of the NYPD who was out today protecting our city.
English
@michelletandler Any parade that invites Bezalel Smotrich is a hate march.
English
I don't typically experience much FOMO, but boy, am I bummed to have missed the NYC Israel Day Parade!!
All my favorite politicians were there, and camels too!
🇺🇸🇮🇱🫶🏼🐪🇺🇸🇮🇱
English
@israelispeaceny Any parade including those war criminals is a hate march.
English
Smotrich, Akunis, Kallner and the rest of the Israeli government belong in The Hague, not in NYC. And we were there to remind them at the Israel day parade.
English
@EndJewHatred Unfortunately, Israel's actions are the primary cause of Jew hated.
English
As our movement marches in the Israel on Fifth parade today we, alongside so many representatives from our community and others, we’re proud to celebrate the Jewish ancestral homeland! 🎉🎈🇮🇱🇺🇸
No politician or hate movement will ever silence our loud, proud Jewish joy! Am Yisrael Chai! 💙

@Mish_K_ Palestinian refugees should be resettled in Israel. That's where they're from, and where they belong.
English
Not only has UNRWA never resettled a single refugee, it’s not even in their mandate.
Mish@Mish_K_
Since 1949, UNRWA has not resettled one single refugee.
English
@vc As an American, I'm glad that my tax dollars weren't given to the Houthis to do this.
English
No Jews no news as they say. The Houthi’s killed 5X as many people as the Hamas war and the vast majority were civilians.
Nobody cares. Not a single western crocodile tear. Greta didn’t organize a floatilla. She didn’t even send an Amazon prime gift box. None of the activists actually cares about human suffering or human progress.
Brianna Wu@BriannaWu
Yemen is 99 percent Muslim. There is no age of consent. Child marriage is entirely legal and popular. 377,000 died in their civil war as the Houthis, whose flag says "Death to America, Curse the Jews" tried to institute a theocracy and caused a famine. I have no patience for Westerners screeching about Israel's flaws when these are Israel's neighbors.
English
@ElliotMalin Trump's peace plan calls for an international force to occupy Gaza & disarm Hamas. No need for Israel to do so.
English
Israel should occupy 100% of Gaza and start rebuilding Gaza for Palestinians to improve the conditions of life there and free them from Hamas.
That should've been the strategy from the beginning.
Tommy Vietor@TVietor08
Life for kids and families in Gaza during the "ceasefire" is hell on earth. Meanwhile, Netanyahu is directing the army to seize MORE of Gaza - he wants to occupy 70% of it. And Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz openly talks about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
