Apparently referencing the Amalekites is evidence of genocidal intent, according to South Africa. But the very quote they’re pointing to has been displayed near the ICC at The Hague since October 1967. Underneath a Magen David.

My 10 year old is watching Fiddler for the first time and I can barely keep it together. 😭

A quick FYI - Antisemitic trolls are brigading @BenMFreeman on Amazon by leaving poor reviews for his book. If you’ve read Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People, and enjoyed it, please consider leaving a positive review.

'But Israel is dangerous too!' some say. Not like this. At least the people who hate Jews in Israel are honest about their intentions. I'd rather die w/my people than cower in the diaspora under an openly antisemitic government & fake friends who love them.

@ask_aubry I know this type. He can’t stand seeing her have any success or stability of her own because the only sense of self worth he has comes from control. He’s punishing her for being able to care for herself.

First time I’ve seen my father in two years due to the pandemic. So much love for my aba.

Your Jewish friends aren’t upset that you’re speaking out about Palestinian deaths. We are upset that you were silent until there were Palestinian deaths. Because Jews don’t count. And now we know that as your friends, we don’t count.

In '40s my husband's grandad was a British soldier stationed in Mandatory Palestine. His job was to shoot Jewish refugees as they landed on the beach, coming off of boats. He died before I met my husband, who converted to Judaism & is a Zionist. I hope he's rolling in his grave.

My rabbi gave me and my husband the date for son’s bar mitzvah and I will be spending the rest of the day crying.
