In just the past two weeks, the pro-Palestine movement tried to burn down my neighborhood synagogue and organized a boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia on the eve of Kristalnacht.
So please, spare me the “anti Zionism isn’t antisemitism” nonsense. Yes, it is.

Absolutely devastating 💔
Eva Geller, 90, shot during the Bondi terror attack, has just died, following complications from her injuries, becoming the 16th victim of the massacre. Eva was a HOLOCAUST survivor!
May her memory and life always be a blessing!

Rubio speaks like a President.
He looks like a President.
He thinks like a President.
He acts like a President.
He has the integrity of a great President.
He is absolutely everything that JD Vance will never be.

I never heard my grandmother’s voice, never received a hug from her, never knew her scent. Yet this beautiful woman is the most present absence in my life.
Today, November 6, 84 years ago, she boarded Transport No. 42 from Drancy to Auschwitz. listed 5th from the bottom. This is the last information we have about her. Did she survive the horrific journey and live to see another daylight before she was murdered? Did she die along the way? We will never know.
She was an extraordinary woman. A widow who raised her daughter as a single mother in Paris during the darkest period in human history, and yet she managed to bring light to the world around her.
One of my mother’s last memories of her was her sixth birthday, which they celebrated together. My mother recalled waking up to a room filled with flowers that her mother had picked in the middle of the night from the garden of the house where they were hiding. Was the room truly filled with flowers? Was it just a single bouquet? It does not really matter.
What matters is the lesson that, in any situation, we can try to find something good, however small, however seemingly insignificant. That is what makes the difference.
Be kind. Do good.
In memory of Charlotte Mendelson (née Schlesinger), 1903–1942.

Berlin. Es werden Juden aus Universitäten gedrängt. Es wird zum Boykott jüdischer Geschäfte, Künstler, Symbole und Wissenschaftler aufgerufen. Juden werden auf offener Straße angegriffen, bespuckt und zusammengeschlagen.
Was meinen Sie? Was kommt jetzt?
(Hilfestellung: Vor dem Holocaust lebten allein in Berlin in etwa so viele Juden, wie heute nur noch in ganz Deutschland.)

To be honest? Vance’s remarks didn’t surprise me at all; for the past few months, I’ve known exactly what he thinks about the war—and about Israel in particular.
It’s just that he was waiting for the right moment to reveal his true colors.
Are you surprised?

My family escaped a brutal Islamic dictatorship.
Never in my life did I imagine that Americans would one day elect those who not only refuse to call out Islamic terrorism, but also openly praise Allah, in Arabic, in a political speech.
This is what an invasion looks like.

The death of America as we know it. Sad to see. But people will get what they deserve. You can only warn people so much. America is over and the American Dream is Dead.
People will come to realize this. But it’s too late. America is over.
The country is cooked.
Muslim candidates made historic gains in the U.S. midterms, led by Abdul El-Sayed, who becomes the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate after winning Michigan’s open seat.
El-Sayed, an Egyptian-American physician, beat Republican Mike Rogers despite facing anti-Muslim attacks during the campaign.
Adam Hamawy, an Egyptian-American surgeon and Army veteran who volunteered as a doctor in Gaza, becomes New Jersey’s first Muslim member of Congress.
Incumbents Rashida Tlaib in Michigan and Ilhan Omar in Minnesota were re-elected. Aisha Wahab, an Afghan-American, is projected to win a full term in California.
At the state level, Aber Kawas became the first Palestinian-American elected to the New York State Legislature, and Nabeela Syed flipped a Republican-held seat in Illinois’s state Senate.
Muslim community outlets count at least 36 Muslim candidates winning or leading in federal, state and local races, with seven or eight heading to Congress.
Many of these candidates ran on affordability, civil rights and opposition to unconditional U.S. military support for Israel.
Several faced heavy outside spending from pro-Israel groups.

You can watch this one-minute clip and arrive at one of two diametrically opposed conclusions: 1) this is wonderful as it demonstrates how inclusive Americans are; 2) this is astoundingly dangerous as it highlights some existential dangers looming in the future. Only one of those two reactions can be correct.

Philly Jewish restaurant owners say they won’t be scared off by antisemitic boycott campaign. The local Jewish Community Relations Council is planning a solidarity lunch at one of the restaurants being targeted by a group of anti-Israel activists jewishinsider.com/2026/11/ma…

In a matter of two weeks, the Muslim Brotherhood won seats in Israel’s Knesset, secured its first American senator, and the President of the United States announced, under pressure, that military aid to Israel would end within a month.
Do you have any idea what this means for the world?
We are entering a new era in which jihadists, the Russians, the Ayatollahs, and the Chinese are reaping the rewards of their efforts to subvert the West.
They succeeded.
Thanks to Tucker Carlson, the Muslim vote, and the many other fifth-column elements living among us, we are effectively giving jihadists the power to decide our future.

Christian student CALLS OUT Abdul El-Sayed in front of the crowd - Watch his face DROP!
Schmuck. I had more respect for him when he kept his idiotic political opinions to himself. He has terminal TDS. Get over yourself, Bruce. You’re a singer, not a political commentator. El-Sayed is linked to Muslim Brotherhood. Hates Israel. Hates Jews. Understand? 🇮🇱🇺🇸✡️💙💪🏻❤️
Bruce Springsteen endorses Abdul El-Sayed; claims the Muslim pro-Palestine candidate is fighting against “anti-American” Trump.
“Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House.
That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.”

Dear Arab Israelis,
I have a short message for you, and I'm laying it out of love and compassion but, as always, I'm completely sincere and direct.
The problem everyone in Israel is talking about has nothing to do with you being Arabs or Muslims or Christians.
The problem is (forgive my bluntness) that the majority of you still identify as "Palestinians," and that in private gatherings you always talk about the "dream of destroying Israel", something I've personally heard a couple of times.
I have a secret formula that would make every citizen of Israel vote for you and bring you into any coalition:
1. Unequivocally condemn Hamas and radical Islamic movements.
2. Acknowledge that you are Arab Israeli citizens, not Palestinians.
3. Acknowledge that Israel is the Jewish state of the Jewish people, 3,000 years old and 78 years young.
4. Learn more about the history of the land that prophets, kings, and heroes of Islam called "the land of Israel."
Is that too much to ask? Honestly, that's the least expected of any ordinary citizen of a country.
In so many of those private gatherings, you say the Israeli passport is so strong, that you can travel to Europe without a visa and many of you brag about traveling to the US because of the waiver program...
So is giving back to the Jewish state that gave you this good life really too much to ask?
Food for thought. 🌹
