Why are people blaming anyone or anything but the education system that produced this level of ignorance?
“Oh man everyone is so stupid!” No. People cannot know what they were never taught. People cannot know something like this if they haven’t made an intimate connection with it. Why aren’t all schools reading Man’s Search for Meaning, Night, Anne Frank, etc?
The issue isn’t ineffective Holocaust education. It’s ineffective education. This is just a symptom of a broken system where people sit in a room all day and walk out with the same thing they walked in with.
May I suggest that everyone reading these tweets right now are engaged with their children and have them enrolled in good schools. We must remember that those of us engaged enough to be having political conversations online are not the norm.

The hardest conversation I have ever had was with the family of these children. I helped them get their family’s story into media to combat terror misinformation about this video. Their mother was killed in front of them. Her body booby trapped and left undiscovered for days.
The terrorists and their supporters claimed they were cared for and released. The reality was they were left in the border area near Gaza because they cried too much, abandoned. They were saved when a neighbor saw them and escaped with them, risking her life to save theirs.
I am deeply and forever grateful to @jaketapper for his work telling their story, and the stories of so many other families for whom the last year has been filled with deep pain.

Please take the time to watch this. Thank you, Jake.

The new Super Hitler has a Jewish daughter, three Jewish grandchildren and was unapologetically supportive of the Jewish state. Quite the plot twist.
Listened to @IvankaTrump recently on the @lexfridman podcast and was so pleased to hear how she multiple times wove Jewish thought and teaching into their conversation. She’s a gift to the Jewish people.
@IvankaTrump @lexfridman Dovi linked them here:

In honor of D-Day, buckle in for the story of how a Jewish soldier from Pittsburgh ended up in a Nazi mass grave, and how through dogged determination, will be buried with full military honors in Normandy later this month. Image
Lieutenant Nathan Baskind, of Pittsburgh, PA, came ashore on Utah Beach on D-Day with the 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion. Engaged in fierce battle, he went ahead of his troops to reconnoiter their position in the Battle of Cherbourg June 23, 1944. He was never heard from again.
A search of contemporaneous German war records revealed that Baskind was ambushed and shot, taken prisoner by the German army, and sent to a Luftwaffe field hospital. Later on the 23rd, Nathan Baskind died, and was buried together with 23 German soldiers in a mass grave.

Nine years ago, after three teenage boys were lynched, I said we should have nuked Hamas and eliminated the threat. Hamas went on to rape and murder over a thousand people. But to BrieBrie, they were just having a picnic.
Hamas should have been smashed a long time ago. Child killing is nothing new. amp.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun…
If you’re out here Holocaust denying and rape apologizing in 2023, you’re going to have to do better than a hyperbolic nine year old tweet @briebriejoy.

I was a super far leftie in college. I took a class called The Politics of Protest and my thesis for the paper I had to write was that the intifada was a valid protest movement. I did a lot of research, including reading @AlanDersh ‘s Case for Israel.
I ended up turning in a paper about how Zionism was a protest movement. (Which tbh was a real stretch but when you have a total political realignment in one semester you run out of time for another thesis and the time to do the research.)
It was pretty exciting for me personally to do a segment with him tonight with @kilmeade. I know you’re supposed to play it cool, but it was a really exciting moment to be split screen with Dersh defending Israel. Full circle kind of moment.

PERSONAL REQUEST: I spent the day with Amit yesterday on the Hill. She left her husband and three kids in Israel, all of whom just went through the worst trauma imaginable (35 hours hiding in silence as their front yard was used by Hamas as a staging area in Kfar Aza. Image
She left them because her friend Avihai needed help coming to talk to Members of Congress to beg them to help secure the release of his wife and three children. Her kids are all best friends with his. Image
She told me how her husband’s businesses and her job are gone. About how their home was destroyed and her family are living in a shelter. They’ve got literally nothing left from the house except underwear they were able to go back to get ten days later.
