This time in history is when the black community reciprocated on a massive scale to our Jewish brothers and sisters.

The fact that BASIC is not more widely known is a travesty.

Share widely please.

It was only initially online a few years back because my father found some old clippings.

Now it's up to us to spread it all over.
Black Americans Supporting Israel Committee was create IN RESPONSE TO the anti-Israel sentiment coming from the more radical civil rights activists in the black community.

Some of its 200+ initial members included Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King and Hank Aaron.

Marc Lamont Hill, in response to an incredible article by my friend @HenMazzig, said that the whole notion of 'Mizrahi' Jews is fake and made up to separate from Palestinians.
There are many things disturbing about what Marc said.
Mizrahi is not a made up term to evade Palestinian identity, and it is extremely disrespectful and wrong of him to even suggest that; especially since Jews of Iraq, for instance, have inhabited Iraq centuries before there was such a people called Palestinians.
Same with Iran, Syria, Yemen, etc...
To deliberately twist history like this is not only gross, but evil.
I've posted my friend's article below, but there are also a lot of gems in it that Marc seemed to conveniently ignore...

One of the key things we at Muslims Against Antisemitism aim to do is educate people and more widely civil society about what Judaism actually is, rather than what antisemites hateful views say Judaism is. /1
With that in mind and with the high holy days upon us starting with #RoshHashanah(Jewish New Year) on Sunday evening please see our thread providing some facts (feel free to fact-check!) on what makes #RoshHashanah so special. /2
First up let's start with the greeting for #RoshHashanah to say to all our Jewish brothers and sisters.

'Shana Tova Umeteukah' .

This Hebrew means a good and sweet new year. /3

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Monday I made a decision I should have made in 2016: I will no longer engage people deliberately lying about anything, be it me, the election, the events of 2016, Trump.

Wilfull ignorance is not a good faith position.
I like to engage readers, but not on false premises.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. None of us--myself included--is entitled to their own facts.

#FACT: Bernie Sanders lost the 2016 primary because he got 4M fewer votes. Period.
#FACT: Trump is a criminal. He was cited as a felon in the #MichaelCohen case. Period.
2/
#FACT: Trump is a racist. As far back as the 1970s Trump was investigated by the DOJ for racial bias. He consistently attacks black celebrities and athletes. He announced his candidacy for president by calling Mexican immigrants rapists, murderers and drug dealers.

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
