The same people calling for America to ban legal guns and rely on police today, are the people who issued calls to "defund" the police in 2020, and insisted on keeping the border porous for illegal gun imports in 2021. Do you find this troubling?

AOC used the term "Never Again," written on signs by newly-liberated Jews at Buchenwald & publicized by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane in his 1972 book. So when she pretended she didn't mean death camps, she was clearly lying. If you had integrity, you'd admit that.

If you spend a few minutes learning some actual history, you will find out that concentration camps are different from death camps and have a history that both predates and extends far past the Nazis.

Amen (אמן) isn't originally Latin either, but is the Biblical Hebrew affirmation of belief derived from אמונה meaning trust and faith. One way or the other, awoman is meaningless gibberish. This is Congress, so it's unlikely to get better.

Dems open congress with a prayer that ends “amen and awoman.” Amen is a Latin word that means “truly” or “so be it.” Awoman is a nonsense word that means nothing. Dems find a way to make everything stupid and nonsensical. Utter clowns, all of them.

Side point. Which of these three is Orthodox? All of them? One of them? Because I cannot tell, no offense. Can they truly relate to their highly-visible Hasidic/Yeshivish brethren, whose identities can be spotted from miles away, and who are being beaten daily throughout NY/NJ?

The lying & demonization tells you @Moms4Liberty is doing important work. They invited a representative of the largest rabbinic public policy organization in America, @cjvalues , to address them. Claiming they "admire Hitler" is repugnant slander.

Trump was, of course, 100% correct. Both Israeli and Orthodox Jews, those attached to actual Judaism, recognized his friendship and accomplishments. Leftists, especially "asaJew"s, not only place progressivism ahead of Judaism, but think it's wrong for Trump to notice.

@elonmusk It really shouldn't be a question. If the Ayatollah has a Twitter account, denying one to Trump is about political partisanship, not hate.

@realchrisrufo What I find most disappointing is that @mcuban has now seen more than enough evidence that DEI and BLM are, far from being anti-racist, deeply bigoted, and antisemitic in particular, yet he refuses to change course. It's time to sell and cut your losses, Mark.

There is no question that calls to #BanTheADL embolden antisemites. This does not mean, however, that the critics are wrong. Many of the Jewish individuals and groups most committed to fighting antisemitism in a non-partisan fashion have said the same.

For those who don't understand, when the so-called "Rabbis for Ceasefire" read the Torah portion, they deliberately mumbled & skipped over God's promise of the Holy Land to the Jews. What do you call a "Rabbi" who repudiates Torah? A fraud. They are frauds, each & every one.

Want to understand the difference between today's pro-Jewish rally and the hate rallies before it? The other rallies were not pro-Palestinian. One who values innocent Arabs wants them to have rights, education, healthcare, and for women not to be subjugated. Those rallies were

This is what consistency looks like. When the rioters are right-wing everyone condemns them, as they should. When they are on the left half the country says they are mostly peaceful and should be allowed to express themselves. And there is the problem.

As we published in May when violent protests erupted, so we write again, America must have a full accounting of how today’s riots happened, who made them happen, and who let them happen. Those in power must be held to account.

Literally proving it's an antisemitic lie while claiming the opposite. The coin says Aleph"Yud in parentheses after "Palestine " in Hebrew, because it's the acronym for Eretz Yisroel, the Land of Israel, the indigenous name for what British colonialists called Palestine.
