It’s 5 days since this blood libel has been verified to be a failed rocket launch from Gaza that killed Palestinians at a hospital parking lot. Yet, this elected official continues to spread Hamas terrorist fabricated lies. Shame on you @ZohranKMamdani . Delete this tweet now!

Nick Moster spreads a blood libel about Orthodox Jews on the eve of Passover. 99% are following the rules. The same 1% of crazies exist in every other community and we condemned them. If you ever doubted, Moster proves he is a self-hating Jew.

Correct, Senator. No corporal punishment at ANY school. As a yeshiva parent/former student, I’m not familiar with the use of corporal punishment at yeshivas, nor would I tolerate it Sadly, @nytimes needs to continue its onslaught against Orthodox Jews & prop up their mudslinging

To be clear: We introduced this bill because the law should *explicitly* ban corporal punishment in all schools. The use of physical or violent methods to ostensibly discipline students has happened in many schools. I haven't seen any evidence of it being a pattern in yeshivas.
