On behalf of B’nai Brith Canada, we wish to thank every member of the Italian Canadian community that signed onto this declaration of support for Jewish Canadians. The Jewish and Italian communities have historically held a very close relationship, and we are extraordinarily grateful to see that bond remains as strong as ever today. We know that we have close friends and allies in Canada and that with their support, we will rise above this surge of hate and violence that is targeting our community.

This is a warning to the West:
Ban the Muslim Brotherhood and stop blaming @elonmusk for the mess on your streets.

I bought a hat with some Hebrew text on it.
In thirty minutes of wearing it in public, I've had two people come up and challenge me about the hat, asking what language it was and then glaring at me when I said Hebrew.
I'm not Jewish.
I don't like living in a world with ethnic hatred. This is bullshit, and it has to be pushed back against. You can have whatever feelings you want about a war on the other side of the world, but hating someone here because of what language you think they speak is disgusting.

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

Imagine paying $500+ to see Ed Sheeran only to be ambushed by Macklemore’s relentless anti-Israel obsession.
Yes, the same Macklemore who appeared onstage dressed as an Orthodox Jew, complete with an enormous prosthetic nose.
Fans deserve apologies and refunds.
Unacceptable.

Can you imagine the blowback had Olivia Chow said she wasn’t attending a debate on tackling the problem of anti-black racism because her campaign technically hadn’t started yet?

@SunLifeCA I cancelled my life insurance with you and you still took $773.10 from my account. Imagine a business taking money from you that isn't theirs and then making you wait 2 weeks to be reimbursed. The worst customer experience I've had and I still haven't got my money.

“I’ve now been disrupted at a podcast about Jewish entrepreneurs, at the opening of a Jewish community centre, and at a fireside chat about building companies. None of those events had anything to do with politics. The only common thread is me, a proud Jew, on a stage.”
Thank you @harleyf for saying it like it is.

.@Wikipedia is literally erasing Jewish history and identity, systematically and maliciously. Everyone in the organization knows this is happening -- so none of it is an oversight or an accident.
Wikipedia is a major source on which LLMs are trained. College students are more likely to read the Wikipedia article than the textbook. This is how public knowledge is shaped.

Viewer discretion advised: some of you may have seen clips and images of the horrific war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7th.
A new website archives all of this footage.
We know it’s difficult to watch, but it is even more heart wrenching for the victims and the families of these heinous crimes.
Please RT this and help us make sure that the world knows what happened.

The world is about to get a master class in antisemitism.
Israel's minister Ben Gvir's behavior towards the flotilla activists was unacceptable. I said so myself.
World leaders all posted angry denunciations of the Israeli government and summoned Israeli ambassadors for a dressing down.
Here, the same activists are receiving much more brutal treatment at the hands of the Spanish government. What we won't see however is an international outcry against the Spanish government.
This imbalance isn't due to the vagaries of international diplomacy. People hold the Jewish state to a higher standard than they do any other state, and fundamentally it's due of bigotry and hatred.

Confirmed: rapists, cowards and vile deviants.
Volumes of incontrovertible evidence of the depravity of Hamas.
NYT preemptively dropped a grotesque op-ed with sources linked to Hamas for a beachhead of “bothsiderism” Hamas defenders.
