Today, Iran launched a swarm of 185 killer drones, 110 surface to surface missiles, and 36 cruise missiles at Israel, putting the whole country and entire region on lockdown. This was the first time Iran launches a direct attack against Israel from its own soil. But for decades, Iran has been building a ring of terror around Israel’s borders. This is called Iran’s terror proxy network, which includes Jihadi terrorist groups like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and other armed militias in Syria and Iraq.
Iran’s multi-front war against Israel has been going on for decades. And the October 7th massacre was just a part of this larger war. Yet brainwashed so called activists around the world are trying to defend this attack against Israel and say that it was justified. They claim that Israel deserved this attack for eliminating Iran’s most senior military figure in Syria, Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was involved in the planning of the October 7th massacre.
However this attack was not an isolated event. It is a part of Iran’s on-going campaign to wipe Israel off the map and destabilize the Middle East in order to create a new power dynamic in the region.
Thanks to Israel’s incredible air defense systems, and her American and EU allies, the vast majority of the projectiles were intercepted before reaching Israel, resulting in limited damage.
Yet Iran’s endless support of terrorism not only threatens Israel, but also threatens global security. From Gaza to Lebanon, Yemen to Syria, Iran’s fingerprints are evident in countless conflicts. It’s time to dismantle Iran’s terror networks and hold the regime accountable for its relentless pursuit of violence. And only then can we hope to see a safer, more peaceful world for future generations.
A MESSAGE TO ALL THE JEWISH COLLEGE KIDS who were intimidated into leaving school because campus was no longer safe for Jews.
To the kids who were bullied, harassed, assaulted, spat on, thrown down, blocked from entering the library or a class, for the kids who stood singing Hatikva -“The Hope”- with an Israeli flag and an American flag and were told Death to Zionists, Death to America, followed by both flags being stolen and set on fire.
To the kids who had to endure jihadi screams of “There is only one solution, Intifada Revolution,” which refers to terrorists wearing suicide vests in cafes, buses, schools, anywhere large crowds of Israeli citizens could be, and were, murdered. Calls for that to be globalized.
To the kids who were told they didn’t deserve to live, that their ancestral homeland was stolen land, that the beautiful democracy in the Middle East that has 2 million Arabs living free, with equal rights, serving on the Supreme Court and in the government, was an apartheid state.
To the kids whose college administrations failed them. Who allowed Jews to be surrounded by masked “protestors” and pushed out of their campus, who prioritized placating students who were proudly breaking university rules, using hate speech that incited violence, breaking windows with hammers, vandalizing buildings that the took over, yelling “We love Hamas, we are Hamas,”defied orders to disband, cancelled classes, and graduations, instead of doing their job and making the students adhere to the rules and expelling them if they didn’t.
They did nothing to ensure that campus and classes were available to all paying students without threats or harassment.
To all the students who were excluded from taking classes, going to religious services, listening to guest speakers and forced to experience college virtually “for their own safety.”
I see you.
We all see you.
And I’m so sorry.
🇮🇱✡️For any student experiencing harassment or intimidation or exclusion on campus these 2 mensches are doing pro bono work for us all.

Today is Yom HaShoah.
Holocaust Remembrance Day.
I can’t imagine a more important moment to remember and honor the 6 million Jewish lives lost.
Rounded up, taken hostage, turned to ash.
We, the generation whose grandparents survived the Holocaust, were reminded continually growing up, that 1/3 of all the Jews on the globe were exterminated, while good people stayed silent.
We were told “Never again.”
And we believed it.
Oct 7 woke us all up to the reality that the ancient hatred of Jews is still alive with us.
People deny this genocide happened.
Which is a massacre of the soul.
The last remaining Holocaust survivors, one of whom is in the terror tunnels in Gaza, wear their numbers on their arms, tell vivid stories of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald and all the other death camps.
They are living proof. They are walking miracles. They carry the memories and stories of all their (our) family members who were murdered because they were Jews.
We must never stop sharing their stories. We must never erase, ignore, or diminish the worst atrocity in the history of the world.
We must teach children the lived history.
Bring them to a Holocaust Memorial Museum.
There are 16 in the United States, and in 47 countries worldwide.
Teach your children well.
I have the honor of wearing a replica of the Star of David that Jackie Cohen’s grandmother Julia wore as she escaped the Nazis. I saw her wearing it and encouraged her to replicate this heirloom as a way for all of us to be able to carry the history with us. Thank you Jackie. And thank you for giving a donation from the proceeds of every sale to support the troops in Israel as they complete their mission of saving both Israelis and Palestinians from the terror of Hamas.
May Hashem keep them safe, bring the hostages home safely, and end this devastating and unnecessary war. May we share the land in peace, and may this be an end to the hatred.
To everyone who has lost someone in the Holocaust, may their memory be a blessing. Please share remembrances of your family in the comments.✡️
Any disrespectful comments will be deleted.
Leadership comes in many forms and change takes time – lesson of the evening. Stay strong everyone💙

“The community I previously felt so accepted because of my identities, I came to find all@of the (acceptance) was conditional, and the one condition is my Jewish identity.”
These are the words of Noa Fay, a Jewish student at Columbia who details her experience of being singled out for who she is.
PLEASE listen to her.
PLEASE share.
She communicates with clarity about Zionism, tokenism, and how Israel is inextricably linked with being Jewish.
#columbia #zionism #jew #minority
Professor Shai Davidai, Jewish Israeli Professor at Columbia Business School was barred entrance to Columbia’s main campus today. His entry card was deactivated. Meanwhile Pro-Hamas protestors are allowed on main campus.
Here he is comforting a Jewish student.
Importantly: Columbia will allow him access to the Business School to continue teaching his classes.
He just can’t walk on campus.

Last night, on the 7 month anniversary of Oct 7, @bringhomenow brought our community together for “Lights of Liberty,” to honor the hostages still held captive, and the survivors of that unimaginable hell. We heard from Liat Unger whose cousin Omer Shem Tov is still being held captive, Or Gat, brother to captive Carmel Gat, Moran Stella Yanai a released hostage who shared her experience inside the tunnels. It left us all speechless.
This evening was about Hope. A commitment to bring all the hostages home. Jewish Activists gathered in brotherhood, always a comfort, and Ofir Akunis, Counsel-General of NY asserted his belief that they will succeed in saving the living hostages.
We sang the National anthem and Hatikva, the Israel’s national anthem. And the evening ended with 500 drones flying over the Statue of Liberty asking the world not to forget the loved ones stolen.
7 months underground. In silence. In darkness. Tortured. Raped. But full of hope that they will be saved. We mustn’t let them down.
The psychological torture knowing that Hamas could have released them at anytime in the past 7 months, and the war would be over, is unbearable.
The horrifying death and destruction would stop. Immediately.
And they chose not to.
It’s evil.
They don’t want peace. They have told us time and again.
And they play with the world.
Announcing they accepted a ceasefire deal that was not on the table. Ever.
33 hostages released became 18, and the rest dead hostages.
Without telling the Israelis.
Announcing to the world the news we all have been praying for, the war was ending, but, of course, it was a ploy. To make Israel look like it didn’t want a deal.
While Ham@s has turned down every single deal offered over the 7 months.
All to turn the world against Israel.
And it has worked.
My heart breaks for all the innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians that have endured immeasurable pain and loss.
I pray that Ham#s will be wiped out, because then everyone will be free of their sadistic terror. If they stay in power (like the Nazis) there will never be peace and safety.

LISTEN~This is chilling. And tragic.
An IDF officer calls a Palestinian civilian in Rafah telling him he has to evacuate his family 1/2 km away to be safe.
Listen.
Listen to his desperation.
“We will wait for you to evacuate but there isn’t much time.”
The Palestinian is not interested in saving his family.
“We love death the way you love life.”
“We don’t want the peace that comes from you.”
“We all want to die on this side.”
“We don’t want the kindness from you.”
As unimaginable as this is, this is the reality.
Israel begging civilians to take cover.
No other army in the world does this or has ever done this. And still Israel is villianized.
May this war end with the hostages coming home alive, Hamas destroyed, and as little death and destruction as possible.
Please share.
DISCLAIMER: this is for educational purposes.
To show that Israel wants to save innocent life. They are not willfully, joyfully killing civilians as the anti- Israel crowd espouses.
That is the PURPOSE of this post. Period.
THANK YOU President Biden for this unequivocal denouncement of the rampant assault, harassment and intimidation of Jewish students at Columbia University.
Peaceful protest is a bedrock of our country.
Hate speech that incites violence is domestic terrorism.
The leaders on college campuses must have moral clarity and ensure the physical safety of Jews and unimpeded access to classes, dorms, cafeterias, religious gathering, and any offering on campus. Anyone without the will to do so should be fired.
NOW ITS TIME FOR ACTION.

A video from Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s parents who, along with the rest of the world, saw a newly released propaganda video featuring Hersh today. Full chills. We pray for Hersh, his family, and all of the remaining hostages.🙏💙
It’s open season on the Jews. And you’re all silent. Jewish students are being advised to transfer and return back home. Radical anti-American antisemitic terrorist ideology is rampant. How can you not just say enough?? What will it take for you to see these students and find them worthy of your otherwise limitless capacity for outrage and solidarity? It’s time to have courage to do what you know is the right thing and stand up to hate. All of it.
It’s not just the antisemitism we are facing every day – it is also the endless denial of our actual experiences and the dismissal of how we define the hate targeted at us. Please listen to @edenyadegar , a junior at Columbia who testified before Congress about her many experiences being targeted and harassed as a Jew. There is an ongoing assault on the truth of what Jews in this country are actually experiencing every day and it is time to listen, to understand, and to acknowledge.
RP:@yosephhaddad
Take this in.
Then listen again.
Iran, Lebanon and Yemen are attacking Israel simultaneously, right now. Iran shot 300 drones, cruise and ballistic missiles at Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Druiz civilian neighborhoods in Israel.
Progressive far left radicalized Pro- Palestine “activists,” on our college campuses and in our streets are celebrating.
Along with Isis, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Islamic Jihadists, El Qeada, JIP, and of course Hamas.
Leaders from Western countries are unilaterally condemning Iran and its proxies’ attack. Because they recognize that with the help of these raging kids on campuses and in our streets, everywhere, the entire Western civilization is at risk. Democracy is being attacked.
And if you are celebrating this perversely named “resistance,” then you are an enemy to the West and the bedrocks of liberty, democratic laws, and the striving for tolerance, inclusion and justice.
This isn’t about Israel.
Watch this video CAREFULLY.
There is no mention of liberating Palestinians.
There IS however clear mentioning that they will conquer Spain. They will conquer Italy. They will conquer the United States. of America. And the EU. And that’s just the beginning. And because terrorist attacks are now happening every day, globally- from Australia to Canada, the speaker believes that they are succeeding in dismantling democracies everywhere.
So be clear.
Western civilization is being attacked and weakened by our own.
And you have chosen to party with the most sociopathic, violent, vile, bloodthirsty, terrorist organizations in the world. “Death to Israel. Death to America. Intifada. Hands off Iran.”
WAKE UP.
We must unite.
Right, left, republican, democratic, black, white and every hue in between.
We must STOP every complicit actor.
We must police them, expel them, remove them, indict them.
Enough.
And we must destroy the Radical Islamic Republic of Iran once and for all.
One of the most important videos right now. The protests on college campuses today are NOT the protests of the past. A college campus should embrace EVERY student without exception and not tolerate rallies for hate of any kind. Please share this video. Thank you very much.
I am honored to be a part of @zushagoldin’s art exhibit “Artists Against Antisemitism,” and his campaign to raise awareness about the depths of global online antisemitism. Antisemitic comments have no place in a healthy and free society.
I nominate @mandanadayani and @noatishby to join this campaign in unity with all those who have been terrorized by hate comments solely because they are Jews.
Post a photo of yourself holding a
sign with a message of hate you have received on social media, and tag 2 friends to spread the word.
We must continue to educate and raise awareness through positive initiatives.
Please do not stay silent.
We know how that ends.
Thank you Zusha, for your art and your heart.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at Cornell yesterday. I was honored to get to thank students across our country for their incredible leadership through the hate that has been targeted at them and to share this message:
For thousands of years, Jewish activism has also meant being Jewish openly and proudly. Keep going. Continue standing tall in your identity and in your fight back against anyone who tries to challenge your faith or your homeland’s right to exist. You represent the best of us, and it is an honor to stand with you and say thank you. I know what you are facing is hard. I know your friends’ abandonment is heartbreaking. I know the actions of these radicalized mobs are infuriating. If I leave you with anything today, I want you to know you are not alone. Millions of us worldwide are wrapping our arms around you, profoundly grateful and moved by your courage and leadership.
