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.

Since COVID, we’ve done one crazy thing and it has led to our family getting sick *a lot* less frequently. Read this 🧵 to find out more.
We wash our hands a lot more. That’s it.
I just have been seeing a lot of people do this stupid clickbait thing in an effort to gin up their engagement.

I keep showing my kids the movies I watched as a kid and realizing OH MY GOD none of the movies I watched as a kid are kids movies At. All.
Day After Tomorrow: Not a kids movie.
Volcano: Extremely not a kids movie.
Here’s what I remember from Volcano (Tommy Lee Jones, Anne Heche):

There was a volcano. It was rerouted. Yay.

What actually happened: So many people burned to death in lava. Then it was rerouted. Yay?

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.
