Speaking at St. Sabina, Louis Farrakhan confirmed both Facebook's wisdom in banishing him and his reputation as a bigot. He defamed our Talmud with antisemitic tropes, while "brave" Fr. Pfleger sat silently, acquiescing to hate preached in his church.

67 days since they were ripped from their home by Hamas terrorists. 67 days since Hamas terrorists waged war on babies, children, and the elderly. 67 days since days since the last sign of life from Ariel, Kfir, Shiri, and Yarden Bibas. #Hamas_is_ISIS #FREEOURKIDS_IL

A powerful and moving day today, visiting Nativ Ha’Asara on Israel’s border with northern Gaza. How would you react with only 15 seconds to hide from a terrorist missile? Yet despite these threats, the people of this community continue to hope and work for peace.

From SJP at U. of Chic: "DON’T TAKE SH*TTY ZIONIST CLASSES" So, will this (A) invite informed debate; or (B) foment hatred on campus and the isolation and ostracization of Jewish students and faculty? If you answered (A)...you're wrong. Thank you @TheAENetwork calling this out.

Comparing @GovPritzker and his policies to save lives and flatten the curve to Hitler is ignorant, antisemitic and defames the legacy of the American heroes who defeated the Nazis, as well as all those the Nazis killed and those who survived the Holocaust.
