Did you really just conflate these hearings to a terror attack that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people? And to the gut wrenching Challenger explosion? I thought this was a joke ...
Like the Kennedy assassination, Challenger explosion and the twin towers, will the Kavanaugh-Ford hearing be a where-were-you moment? Read all of

The doubling down and defense of a man who called Jews cockroaches is so vile and upsetting. My family was horribly persecuted in the Middle East because they are Jewish. It didn’t turn them or me into racists. 🤦🏻♀️
Happy Chanukah! 🕎 It’s nothing short of a miracle that our people are still here. 🤍💙 And we will still be here after the current homicidal maniacs who seek our demise are long gone. Am Israel Chai!

Today my beloved alma mater,
@USC
, made an announcement that the main commencement ceremony is canceled. Pro-Hamas anarchists -- many of them not even students -- have ruined what was to be a special occasion for students. What starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews.
Is this happening to anyone else? Second day in a row, and seems suspicious. I know the jihadists are mass reporting accounts but it’s not like I have a ton of followers or even care about that.
Mr. Yousef is phenomenal. This is an epic takedown of an apologist for fascists who masquerades as a serious journalist, and whose name doesn’t even bear repeating. The take away is Mosab’s knowledge of the region, and we should be reminded of everything he gave up and endured to

A Jewish woman at UCLA was beaten until she lost consciousness by pro-Hamas goons. How can anyone defend these violent protests and call them peaceful?
A young Jewish woman was beaten unconscious by pro-Hamas students at the UCLA campus in California today.
Will mainstream media tell their viewers and readers about it? Or do we have to do all the work here on X?

Hamas and Gazan civilians hold corpses hostage; Islamists won’t even allow a Jewish person the dignity of a proper burial. Marxist-influenced university students (and their professors) will explain this away.

nearly 3 months to report on the rape of Israelis. It took them 5 minutes to spread lies against the Jewish state.
In many of the videos coming out of USC, the protesters accuse the police of being white supremacists. The officers are mostly black and Hispanic, and the woke students mostly white. Make it make sense.
Dor Zimel, Z”L, is a hero in both his life and his death. ❤️🩹 Liel has a second chance because he was an organ donor. May his family who have dealt with unimaginable pain find some measure of comfort in seeing this beautiful baby girl grow up.
Meet Liel, a warrior who got a life-saving liver transplant at 8 months thanks to fallen soldier Major Dor Zimel obm. Grateful to Schneider Children’s Hospital team and Dor Zimel's family. May his memory be a blessing and Liel's journey filled with strength, hope, and love.
Reminder - to this day, Arab countries that expelled their Jewish populations retain $250 Billion in stolen property from those Jewish refugees.
And they have the gall to accuse Israelis of “stealing” land and culture.
Every accusation is a confession.

As the granddaughter of survivors of the Farhud, Shlomo’s story is one I keep coming back to. The tactics employed by mobs during the Farhud in Shavuot of 1941 were pretty much identical to what we saw on October 7, 2023. Both events are exemplified by a revolting barbarism and
Today is the anniversary of the Farhud, an event that deeply affected my own family. A vicious Nazi-inspired pogrom, it led to the Jews of Iraq fleeing (most of them to a nascent modern Israel). Here’s a column I wrote in 2013, during my OC Register days:

Watching Dikla Arava trying to protect her stepdaughters and son, Tomer, breaks my heart. Never forget how the war started. They live-streamed and GoPro’d their atrocities.
On October 7, terrorists broke into the home of the Eliaz family in Nahal Oz. They shot Noam (the father) in the leg and went on Facebook to livestream the horrors.
Terrorists ultimately murdered Noam, Dikla (his girlfriend), Tomer (Dikla's 17-year-old son) and abducted Noam's

UCLA’s leadership has failed its students, faculty and staff. The forcible removal of these encampments would have prevented the overnight violence, along with the assault of several Jewish students.
The rot in US universities runs deep. For decades, myself and others have written about corrupt Middle East programs, communist instructors, and safety concerns of students. I stand with Jewish students who can’t even go to class without being harassed. Speak up now.

What about the 1 million Jews from the Middle East & North Africa who left their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs and became refugees? It seems white atheists like you who are only Jewish when it’s politically expedient deliberately omit a big historical chapter.

This is horrendous. It’s also indicative of the state of academia — in which departments such as these disingenuously attack Jews (who are perplexingly perceived as white no matter their origin — by the same departments) for calling out antisemitism. Merely speaking is not okay.
