“The Board of Deputies unreservedly condemns the attack on the Southport Mosque, the targeting of its Muslim worshippers, and the harming of police officers. There can be absolutely no place for this kind of violence or agitation aimed at inciting communal tension.” –@PhilR_R

⚡️#AZE 🇦🇿 Security Service reports that an individual was arrested today early morning in an attempt to perpetrate a terror attack against the foreign embassy in #Baku (likely 🇮🇱). An individual was monitoring the embassy building for a while and was carrying a gun at the time of arrest, according to the statement. A few months ago, an #Afghan national was arrested in #Baku for the attempt to perpetrate a terror attack against 🇮🇱 embassy.

Thanks #Kolkata institution Nahoum's for baking us challot - the traditional Jewish plaited bread we eat weekly on Shabbat. The bakery was founded in 1902 by Nahoum Mordecai, a Baghdadi Jew. Perhaps the only Jewish bakery globally famous for its Christmas cake?! Shabbat Shalom! – at Kolkata, India

The #Vatican did everything to include Jews in the #Pope’s historic visit. But the Iraqi government did everything to block this. Shame on them. Shame on the incendiaries of souls, negators of civilization who reign over #Baghdad. Historic error. #PopeinIraq
