All these attacks on Jewish businesses around the world in the name of "freeing Palestine". But not a single one affects Israeli government policy or improves the life of a single Palestinian. It's just straightforward #antisemitism, unreasonably holding random Jews responsible.
🇨🇦 A Jewish bakery in Montreal was destroyed by 2 arson attacks in 2 days. A 2nd kosher restaurant was burned down months prior.
🇺🇸 Protesters planned a march targeting Jewish restaurants on the anniversary of Kristallnacht.
🇩🇪 A beloved Jewish bakery in Berlin closed after receiving so much hate.
🇮🇪 The only kosher cafe in Dublin received a campaign of hateful reviews.
🇫🇷 A kosher cafe in Paris was destroyed by vandals who broke in and sprayed it with acid.
🗽 An Ethiopian-Israeli-Jewish restaurant in Harlem is now open only for events due to receiving so much hate.
🇦🇺 A kosher bakery in Sydney closed its doors after the Bondi attack, unable to keep diners and staff safe.
🇵🇹 An Israeli restaurant in Lisbon closed after a never-ending stream of hate.
🇧🇪 An Israeli eatery in Antwerp closed after boycotts pushed it to bankruptcy.
🇬🇧 Acclaimed Israeli restaurant Miznon has faced protests in London telling it to shut down.
All over the world, Jewish and Israeli cuisine is being wiped off the menu in the name of “justice.”
But depriving the world of rugelach, kubeh, latkes, and sfenj won’t help anyone.
It will only hurt Jews.

Your protest is...targeting Jewish businesses on the anniversary of Kristallnacht?
I think Free Palestine gave up hiding that they're a hate movement.
Humanity cannot "unite" by denying one group its rights. What they mean is "Let the whole world gang up on the Jews." Sickening. #antisemitism
"May humanity unite, may Zionism be erased."
At a Champions League match, Galatasaray 🇹🇷 fans held a banner calling for the eradication of Zionism.
Zionism is simply the right of Jews to self-determination in their ancestral homeland. It saved my family in Iraq and Tunisia, as it saved Jews from all around the world.
This call of "unity" is to destroy the only Jewish homeland.

In Jakarta 🇮🇩, riots broke out outside an Andrea Bocelli concert.
His crimes? Bocelli has reached out to not one, but two released hostages after they were released from captivity and performed for them. Yaffa Adar, who was 85 years old when she was kidnapped, and Segev Kalfon, who was held for over 700 days in Gaza
Tell me, how does destroying property in Jakarta help Palestinians? Or is it just about dehumanizing Jews?
The absolute state of @TheGreenParty and its supporters:
1. Pass an antisemitic motion into national party law.
2. Get upset when other people refuse to work with them for being racist.
3. Claim it's all a ploy to silence criticism of #Israel.

Yet Ms. Rachel had no problem supporting people who have said nothing about the Israeli kids Hamas murdered and kidnapped on October 7th.
Her double standard couldn’t be clearer.

A Montreal 🇨🇦 synagogue has been targeted for the THIRD time in under 2 years.
Nine pellets were fired through the windows of Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom before Shabbat. Prior incidents included swastika grafitti and an arson attempt.
How many more incidents until leaders take this seriously?
It's been a good half-term. Had a nice afternoon with Little S walking the entire circuit of the walls of my beloved #Chester for (somehow) the very first time, and then a different afternoon practising pool and getting Chinese takeaway with Little C. Happy times! #parenting

Ahavat Hashem Gordon, an Israeli professional Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer, was recording a video with his friends while visiting Thailand.
"Hey, you Jewish boy, f*ck you! Free Palestine!" A passerby suddenly yelled. Gordon was speaking Hebrew and wearing a kippah.
This video got attention because of Gordon's fame. But these interactions are disturbingly commonplace. They are never acceptable.
How long will you stay silent while anti-Jewish hate is normalized?

Some Middle Eastern conflicts will never be solved. But this is what we agree on:
✅ The Abraham Accords should expand, including to Lebanon
✅ The biggest threat in the Middle East is Iran, not Israel
✅ Keffiyeh Karens who've never been to the Middle East don't speak for us
@Jonathan_Elk, @Fatemaal7rbi, and I took @eighteenorg’s Voices of the Middle East tour to college campuses across the country and showed students what peace and coexistence actually look like.
Settler violence is real & it's very wrong. But, based on this UN NGO's report, it seems it's far less prevalent than activists make out...!
The @UN’s “settler violence” statistics are even more fraudulent than you'd imagine.
@RegavimEng audited UN OCHA’s data and found:
• In its review of the 8,333 "settler violence" incidents listed, 95% either did not involve settlers, did not involve violence, or did not occur in Judea and Samaria.
• Of 59 Palestinian deaths attributed to Israeli CIVILIANS, 26 were actually instances in which the Palestinian initiated violence and was then killed in self-defense, and 24 were actually killed by the IDF.
• After accounting for unidentified perpetrators, pending cases and even a terrorist who died crashing his own car while fleeing, just ONE case remained a verified, unprovoked killing by an Israeli civilian.
• OCHA counted peaceful Jewish visits to the Temple Mount, schoolchildren visiting archaeological sites, traffic accidents, infrastructure work, and even an Arab laborer bitten by a Jewish-owned dog, as “settler violence.”
• 1,755 OCHA incidents relied on a single source. Another 565 had no identifiable source at all.
These are the statistics used by governments, journalists and international organizations to depict Judea and Samaria as the scene of a Jewish campaign of terror and to justify oppressive sanctions against ordinary Israelis.
The “settler-violence epidemic” is a psyop.

Today would have been #Vati's 90th birthday. The warmest, most sincere, genuine, caring man & the best possible father anyone could ever have had. I owe him so much of who I am, & my values.

Within hours of the train crash in Spain that claimed dozens of lives, conspiracy theorists online have wasted no time pointing the finger at the Jewish state.
These claims are patently nonsense and draw on the classic antisemitic trope that Jews have undue power which they exert to the detriment of others.
Blaming the world’s only Jewish state for a rail disaster on a different continent is not a political argument – it is modern-day Jew-hate.
All this talk of "the Arabs stealing the Israeli election" doesn't seem to make sense. More Arabs voting than usual is fine as long as they did so legally. Nothing wrong with being encouraged to do so by other countries. If they were bribed though, that does sound like fraud.
It's never enough. Trying to appease anti-Semites by subverting your Jewish identity doesn't work. Eventually they'll come for you anyway because you're just too Jewish. This is what Polanski will find at the Greens.

Blamed for the Black Death then, blamed for train crashes now. Same shit, different century.
Absolutely excellent article on the ramifications of the #IsraelElection. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqz0…

It's funny how pro-pals are ranting about these elections where Arab parties have reached a record bloc, but they ignore that the PA won’t have election, would never allow any Jews to vote.
Under the PA Jews aren't even allowed to own property with the death penalty imposed.
