Fellow Americans, do you know how many American citizens are still in the hands of Hamas after 100 days? Do you know their names? I bet you don’t. 🧵 (1/20)

I understand the position that "American should not be involved in any other country" - but why is the isolationist Right making this point more forcefully about Israel, where the US has no troops committed, and not Germany, Italy, Turkey, Korea, Philippines, and even Syria...No
Here is my experience: Charlie saw the divide on Israel support happening in the movement and knew that half felt one way and the other half another. He wanted to have speakers of both viewpoints at our upcoming events. He moderated a debate this summer on it so both sides could

With all the virtue signaling celebrities on the wrong side of history, now seems like an opportune time to post one of the great mic drops in history: Paddy Chayefsky’s takedown of Vanessa Redgrave at the 1978 Oscars after her infamous “Zionist hoodlums” speech.

If you’re wondering what Hannah Einbinder’s red hand pin is all about, it’s glorifying terrorist Aziz Salha, whose hands were bloodied from lynching two Israelis. I couldn’t agree more with my wife: “We are never watching Hacks”. #Emmys

As an American, as a Jew, and as Dennis, I am devastated at the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The truth is, as I write these words, I can’t believe I am writing them. I am in the denial stage of mourning. As an American, we have lost the most articulate spokesman for America

Palestinians, like all people, have human agency. They can choose to not shoot busses full of civilians. Their leadership can choose not to create the Palestinian Martyrs Fund for terrorists. Stop blaming Israel for consistently terrible decisions made by Palestinians.

🚨 Check out the group behind the new letter that members of Hollywood signed stating they wouldn’t work with Israeli filmmakers. Surprise surprise: they love platforming antisemites like Kneecap and Nerdeen Kiswani. You’re in lovely company, Emma Stone.

Today's terror attack is exactly the type of attack that took place against Jews before partition and after partition, before 67 and after 67. Spare me the "political solution" drivel that forces the victims to share the blame for their own murder.

Quakers in Britain say banning terror group Palestine Action undermines their “freedom of religion.” You couldn’t make it up. Absolute crackpots.

Arrested for calling a member a muppet which caused them alarm and distress. This is out of control. People who call the police because someone called them a muppet should be arrested for wasting police time.
🚨A man has been arrested in the UK for calling someone a 'muppet' The Police are out of control. I wish this was a joke. It isn't. Absolute insanity.

One in five British adults today have deeply held antisemitic views. The number doubled in less than five years. And instead of fighting it, most of our mainstream media outlets (eg @bbcnews @skynews @guardian @Channel4News) have been helping it spread. Unforgivable.

People need to understand that the way the Arab–Israeli conflict is presented in English is completely foreign to us. Not foreign in terms of language, but in terms of content. In Arabic, the conflict is spelled out clearly: Jews are infidels, they must be eradicated, there is

Re: the 1,200 filmmakers and actors who are boycotting Israeli companies:
@AvivaKlompas Imagine the toxic work environment they are creating in their production companies, etc. against Israeli employees or potential Israeli employees. Sounds like a liability to me. We need to get a team of Israeli testers to apply for jobs with all of these people to look for a

An organisation believed to be a front for the Muslim Brotherhood has opened in Britain. French intelligence says the Forum of European Muslim Youth provides training for “high-potential” Brotherhood leaders. It should be closed down. My letter to the new Home Secretary:

Here's how toxic this platform is. A Druze Israeli has been hired by Hillel at a high profile, controversial campus and I want to wish him success - but fear that if I name him on Twitter, he'll be doxxed. So...good luck and Gd bless. You know who you are.
