The last time this many Jews were slaughtered in one day was during the Holocaust. We’re going to learn who are friends are. You’re either with us and civilization or against us and with genocide. Pick your side.
עם ישראל חי 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Reminder: Fuad Shukr, whose death Hezbollah is vowing to “avenge,” was America’s Most Wanted Terrorist.
The US offered a $5 million bounty for him - dead or alive.
Why? He was the Hezbollah mastermind who killed 241 US Marines in Beirut.
THAT is who Israel is fighting.

If you watch one thing today, watch this:
“The Moral Case for Israel”
Democratic House Leader
@RepJeffries
brings the house down at the
#MarchForIsrael
rally in Washington, DC
On October 7th, THE DAY OF THE horrific Hamas terror attacks on Israel, this is what DSA tweeted ⬇️.
Fast forward to primary day.
DSA lost EVERY single competitive race in New York last night.
We.👏 Did.👏 Not.👏 Forget.👏
Wow.
The head of the UN & UNRWA knew that their UN employees were terrorists and had ties to terrorism as did NOTHING.
Testimony now in US Congress:
@HillelNeuer
So to be clear - on a Jewish holiday when observant Jews don’t have access to media, NYC announces that 20 neighborhoods have covid spikes but they will only be “shutting down” the predominantly Jewish ones?
Got it.
Fact: Jews make up 2% of the US population. Fact: Over 50% of all religious hate crimes target Jews.
Think about that.
May God comfort the families of the souls murdered today in
#Pittsburgh
simply because of their Jewish faith.
#AntiSemitism
Thread that will likely annoy everyone. What happened yesterday in Williamsburg is a case study: ‘whatever can go wrong, will go wrong’ - pandemic version. Let me count the ways.
While you were watching the Super Bowl on your couch, teenagers who are volunteers of the Israel Defence Forces, risked their lives to free two innocent hostages from Gaza and reunite them with their family in Israel.
Delete. This. Tweet.
Remember this when you watch the Super Bowl ‘bring our hostages’ home ad tonight: Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir & co don’t actually care about the hostages. They’re ‘preparing public opinion for the need’ to abandon them to their deaths. All to perpetuate this brutal war & save their jobs.
“A bunch of kids decided to make a group chat, expose her, talk about it, and then talk about starting a riot.”
Every student involved in RIOTING against a Jewish teacher should be expelled
@NYCSchools
The teachers know exactly who these students are.
You guys did nothing for 50 days.
Today you were a glorified car service.
Prove us wrong by letting us know what you will be doing for the remaining 200+ hostages.
We are relieved to confirm the safe release of 24 hostages.
We have facilitated this release by transporting them from Gaza to the Rafah border, marking the real-life impact of our role as a neutral intermediary between the parties.
This is Hannah Katzir.
Islamic Jihad kidnapped her in a WHEELCHAIR and FORCED her to make a propaganda statement saying she was being treated “great.”
She died today while in Islamic Jihad’s “great care.”

Mass shooting today that killed 5 and injured 16 at July 4th parade took place in Highland Park - an area with a major Jewish community. Klezmer music was playing as the shooting took place.
Despite my best attempts, I was visibly sad today at my mother’s bedside. She turned to me and said, “Remember, the biggest mitzvah is to be happy. Always. No matter what.”
It was the last thing she said.
Love you, Ema (Mom).❤️
Baruch Dayan HaEmes. 💔
You saw random Orthodox Jews minding their own business on a NYC train and your reaction was “stay the f*ck away from me!” and you think that THEY’RE the problem?
Got it.
“You don’t belong here!” a protestor kept yelling at us on Shabbat.
On the 85th Anniversary of Kristallnacht, “protestors” BLOCKED people from observing Shabbat at our Friday night reception.
Was this an “Israel” event?
Nope.
But it was a Jewish one.
The United States Congress must hold hearings into what
@UNRWA
knew about these massive terror tunnels and whether they or their staff helped build them or looked the other way.
US sent billions to Gaza for civilians not to fund Hamas terror.
No one did more to try and save their son from Hamas than Rachel Goldberg and her husband Jon.
Devastated to officially learn that Hersh, an American, has been found murdered by Hamas AFTER he was kidnapped.
May Hashem comfort the Goldberg-Polin’s among the mourners of Zion.
If you want to understand why Israel is still fighting Hamas, it’s because they refuse to let the children they kidnapped from Israel go. This is what motivates the country.
Watch this clip.
Free the hostages.
End the war. Today.
Remember this face of a failed ceasefire.
This 24 year old woman was on her way to work this morning as a school teacher when she was murdered by Hamas DURING A CEASEFIRE.
Compounding the horror, Livia Dickman was pregnant with her first child.
Marching with one of the most popular Congress members at the
#CelebrateIsrael
parade. Thanks
@RitchieTorres
for your amazing leadership and steadfast support of Israel!
The FIRST time “anti-Israel” activists showed up at City Hall to protest the Holocaust, I warned that it was pure antisemitism.
Thank you to whomever recreated this moving video that’s now circulating online. 👇
What sets
@RitchieTorres
apart from so many is that he’s intellectually honest and genuinely wants to do the right thing. Ritchie has been an ally to the Jewish people and 100% Pro-Israel since I met him on his FIRST day in City Hall in 2014. He’s a TRUE friend.
There’s a false narrative that I am pro-Israel because of “the Jewish lobby” or “Jewish money” or whatever antisemitic tropes critics wish to invoke.
Left unmentioned is the fact that I have been pro-Israel for nearly a decade—long before I ever thought of running for Congress.
I really am sad tonight. Many of us have dedicated years of our lives trying to build trust between government and misunderstood Jewish communities.
Tonight, it all went up in smoke.
Let’s stop playing games.
If you call your rally “Flood” Brooklyn, the same name that Hamas used for their terror attacks, you’re an antisemite. And if you just “happen” to pick an area with a great concentration of Jews ON SHABBAT - you’re targeting Jews.
This. Is. About. Jews.
Closing schools punishes those New Yorkers who struggle the most - people who can’t afford to stay home from work. Everything else must close BEFORE you close schools.
#KeepSchoolsOpen
This is a defining moment in our lifetimes. You now have Jews being attacked on campus, in their homes, on the streets, in random airports and in every major city in the world.
The antisemitic genie is out of the bottle.
You. Have. To. Pick. A. Side.
The first Jew arrived in America in 1621. For 397 years we NEVER had a shooting in an American synagogue. In the last 6 months we’ve had two. This is what we mean when we rail against record anti-Semitism.
#12MurderedJews
This is Michal. She’s 27 years old.
She survived the Nova Festival.
THIS is the story the “protestors” don’t want you to hear:
“Hamas saw me.
They shot me in my legs and my stomach.
I just prayed to God to say alive.”
Ten of Michal’s friends were killed on Oct 7.
Watch:
On Friday
@RitchieTorres
asked the Justice Department to “consider investigating New York’s systematic failure to police and prosecute hate crimes.” On Shabbos another Jew was attacked in the worst wave of anti-semitism in decades.
If you’re running for any office in New York please DONT other us. If you can’t unequivocally denounce anti-semitism without referring to BS excuses for why it exists then you’re not our friend.
And we will remember.
I’m not chasidic. But my friends are. You can’t understand what shutting down synagogues in middle of a Jewish holiday means. Maybe you are not as religious. Fair. Literally, the only reason these folks came to America was to practice their religion in peace. 1/
The United Nations couldn’t even adopt a resolution yesterday calling for the “humane treatment of hostages” kidnapped by Hamas terrorists.
Yet today they’ve decided to tell Israel how to “respond” to Hamas.
G.T.F.O.
After 9/11 we made unbelievable sacrifices to keep fellow citizens safe - just think how much time we spend on TSA lines. The fact that some people REFUSE to wear masks when we have a 9/11 death toll every week just blows my mind.
I’m genuinely happy for all those people partying in the streets. Hope you have a great time!
Small favor, please. The next time you see someone you disagree with attending an outdoor funeral or religious service, keep your covid rage to yourself. Thank you.
6. The Mayor got upset and sent out a series of tweets one of which clearly crossed the line and seemed to blame ALL Jews (!) for all social distancing problems in NYC
Any rational person would blame Hamas for:
- starting a war.
- breaking a ceasefire
- using civilians as shields
The “charge of genocide” was manufactured by Hamas supporters so they could do this: HARASS Jews around the world.
THIS is 💯 antisemitism.
Don’t buy the DSA spin.
Money does NOT win elections.
Candidates win elections.
Just last month a sitting congressman LOST a Senate Primary in Maryland having spent 10 times as much as his opponent.
If Bowman loses tonight it’s because his CONSTITUENTS think he sucks.
Wow. My former constituent tells me now “I was going to vote for Zeldin because I’m a Republican but my Rebbe, the Satmar Rebbe, said Hochul and I trust my Rebbe.” I think people underestimate the power of Chasidic Rebbe endorsements.
“Are Jews safe in New York City”? asks Rabbi David Niederman representing the families of the Jewish victims in Jersey City. “It seems that in the New York metropolitan area, they are not.”
The backstory here is that Chasidic Jews recently left Brooklyn because they couldn’t afford high cost of housing. Mindel opened a small kosher market pursuing the American dream...in Jersey City.
Here’s where we are at: a “lone gunman” targeted a July 4th parade in a Jewish community while Jewish music was playing. Gunman fired indiscriminately - killed 6 and injured 24. Gunman not found but his rifle was.
I will say it: seems like this COULD be an antisemitic attack.
Watch liberal Jewish Congressman
@JerryNadler
school a moronic “activist” in this bizarre self-own video posted by If Not Now.
“A permanent ceasefire simply means that Hamas will bide it’s time to DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.”
It’s easy to tweet sympathies after an attack against Jews. Real leadership requires doing something, um, real. History will judge those who tweeted vs. those that actually worked to protect Jews from antisemites.
Just a few months ago residents of the large Jewish community in Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, awoke to find anti-Semitic leaflets distributed in their driveways…on Yom HaShoah
7. Meanwhile, earlier that day, NYC hit a balmy 67 degrees and hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers took to streets to relax, jog and even watch planes flying overhead
8. Almost none of those New Yorkers were socially distancing and so that set the stage for the group of chasidic mourners to justify leaving their homes later that day
1. The Chasidic synagogue wanted to honor their saintly rabbi so they came up with a misguided scheme for an outdoor ‘socially distant’ public funeral. They were so convinced they could pull this off they COORDINATED with NYPD and even handed out masks.
4. The “problem” is that chasidic funerals are NOT social gatherings. They are religious events in chasidic life and nobody will just leave because the Mayor shows up in middle of a religious event.
I got a call from a store owner in the “red zone” yesterday: “I put my last dollars back into reopening this business. Every person who comes in wears a mask. I insist on it. Why is government putting me into bankruptcy?”
The answer: I don’t know.
If I WANTED to drive working-class New Yorkers out of NYC here’s what I would do:
1. Delay re-opening NYC AFTER state says its OK to open.
2. Close ALL playgrounds/pools & cancel ALL summer youth programs.
3. Tell parents that schools will likely not re-open full time in Sept.
It’s in vogue now to slam Israel and ignore the rise of anti-semitism in NYC. That’s why
@AndrewYang
’s fierce pushback AGAINST BDS and anti-semitism is such a big deal. Bravo.
The 24 year old murdered in Midwood this week had a name - Keon Gravenhise. My sister-in-law, Raizy, was his mentor since he walked into Erasmus Hall in 9th grade. This pic is 24 hrs before at Reserve Cut where she bought him a kosher steak dinner for his bday.
If you think the way to “protest Israel” is to randomly attack Jews in the “Diamond District,” you’re a coward and an anti-Semite. If you run NYC and do nothing about it you’re 💯 complicit.
My friend and former colleague
@RitchieTorres
is under attack by the far-left antisemitic crazies. Let me be absolutely clear: I stand 100% with Congress Member Ritchie Torres.
He speaks for me and the super-majority of the Jewish community.
We’re grateful for his leadership 🙏
3. As was easily predicted, the funeral was not socially distant (even with masks on) and spiraled embarrassingly out of control - so much so that the mayor rushed to the scene to “fix” the problem.
2. The NYPD wanted to work with the chasidic synagogue out of respect for their revered (and well-known) late Rabbi so they literally barricaded streets for this “socially distant funeral.”
I was on NYC’s budget negotiation team for years. Our $ comes from real estate taxes, income taxes & sales taxes. We need people to WANT to live, work and shop here. The damage done tonight is incalculable.
When I worked for Senator Lieberman, I remember him walking 5 miles to the US Senate, in the worst weather, from his home in Georgetown on Saturdays to attend an emergency vote because he was proudly Shabbos observant.
They literally don’t make them like that anymore.
BDE 🥺
This is wild: per NYPD - the PRESIDENT of Cooper Union authorized the antisemitic protest to CONTINUE even AFTER it had turned illegal and she still refuses to press charges.

🚨🚨🚨Just two blocks from the mass shooting there’s a well-known synagogue. The rabbi says that the shooting suspect tried entering during Passover. Rabbi and armed guard stopped him. 🚨🚨🚨
The hasidic-looking “Jews” who violated the Sabbath and marched in an antisemitic rally are not part of ANY Jewish community. As I’ve said before, they are sadly a handful of mentally challenged people who represent absolutely no one.
📢 Important clarification: The Satmar Community strongly distances itself from the extreme fringe group "Neturei Karta" and their attention-seeking antics they do NOT represent Judaism, but rather their own misguided agenda. In 1967 our founder Joel Teitelbaum OBM expelled them:
This is not hard. The same government that told people they CAN’T work has an obligation to help those people pay their bills. Not a single member of congress should go home for Thanksgiving while their constituents can’t buy food for the same holiday.
This is huge. Satmar is the Chasidic group the has been more vocal about Yeshivas than any other Jewish group and they’re supporting
@GovKathyHochul
🚨🚨🚨
It’s on! NYC Orthodox Jewish elected officials threaten to “break the chains” of the parks THEMSELVES if Mayor won’t open local parks immediately for kids.
We’ve asked nicely and waited patiently. We’ve made every logical argument. The people have spoken and they’re running out of patience. If

won’t open ALL our playgrounds

and I will cut the locks open ourselves.
One of the world’s leading terrorists was killed today. Al-Aroruri was so extreme that Qatar threw him out in 2017. He was the Hamas mastermind behind the kidnapping of three teenage Israeli boys who were later murdered.
The US had a $5 million bounty on his head.
Rest in hell.
There’s a reason why

Insane tweet from the Prime Minister of Ireland declaring that nine year old Emily, who was KIDNAPPED by terrorists from her best friend’s house during a sleepover, was “lost” and has now been “found” after Hamas swapped her for the forced release of criminals.
This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered.
Someone PLEASE explain the science that says in a densely packed city of 8.5 million you can close one street and leave the next street open and fight a pandemic.
PLEASE @ ME WITH SCIENCE!
It’s odd that the very same people who literally visited the home of these exact rabbis when they needed votes, suddenly have no idea how to reach out to them during a crisis. 6/
The “Hand of God”—in hospital wards where patients die alone, craving the touch of loved ones, latex gloves are filled warm water by nurses to simulate that feeling for patients.

Hamas murdered 3 people in Jerusalem during a ceasefire.
Hamas blasted rockets at Israeli cities this morning during a ceasefire.
Hamas didn’t turn over the hostages promised during a ceasefire.
Hamas broke the ceasefire. Again and again.
Ceasefire is over because of Hamas.
I live in one of the “zip-codes.” I wear a mask. So do my neighbors. I’d like NYC to explain the science that says my local stores need to close while those a few blocks away stay open. This seems like extra-judicial “punishment.”
#DueProcess
We can’t even march in peace without being attacked by antisemites.
Thank you
@NYPDnews
for keep us safe as we march down 5th Avenue in support of Israel and to DEMAND that the hostages be released. NOW. FROM. GAZA.
Oh My God.
Tom Hand told
@CNN
he was relieved his 8 year old daughter, Emily, was killed by Hamas on 10/7. Kidnapping would’ve been a worse fate.
He just learned that Emily’s body was NOT found. She WAS kidnapped.
What a nightmare for this Irish family
This isn’t difficult.
1. Anyone who calls for genocide of Palestinians is sick.
2. Anyone who doesn’t condemn Hamas slaughtering of innocent civilians - aka geonocide of Jews - is sick.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
