A synagogue in Montreal had its windows damaged for the 2nd time in 6 months. In 1938, the “Night of Broken Glass” started the same way.

A woman in her 70s showed me the tiny Star of David hidden under her jersey.
The man with her said, "I stopped wearing mine."
Three years after Oct. 7, here's why I wear the biggest one I can find.

A kid was choked & called a "stupid kike" in his own classroom. The district knew for 8 months & did nothing. This week Boulder settled—but half the town argued that fighting antisemitism was the real problem. Full story: the-shomer.beehiiv.com/p/the…

A video has resurfaced of Norwegian soccer star Erling Haaland 🇳🇴 video calling with former hostage Omer Shem Tov 🇮🇱
The reactions online are disappointing, but not surprising.
Some are trying to "cancel" Haaland, while others are trying to reason with what they are witnessing, hoping that Haaland was not aware that Omer is Israeli.
Must be hard for them to see Haaland treating a fellow human as a...well, human.

From Australia to Sudan, terrorism is terrorism, no matter the excuse.
Zero tolerance. No exceptions.
