A thread on antiJewish hate & accusations of Islamophobia:
There's a concept in Judaism that someone who tries to cancel another person is using his own flaws to cancel them. Meaning they are accusing the other person of having the flaws/poor behavior that they themselves have
When I hear people from San Francisco to Ramallah calling to "keep an eye on Jews" saying we are duplicitous, "the enemy", essentially, that no Jew is a good Jew, I see this in action. They accuse us of the things they are/believe. They incite against us while claiming we incite
They claim we're against them, that our institutions are against them... all while committing their institutions to be against us. They espouse anti-racism while being relentlessly racist. And when we dare speak out for ourselves, accuse us of Islamophobia to protect themselves
I will not be silenced by people who use America's struggle for racial equality to turn others against my people. I will not let fear of being called racist keep me from speaking out against racism. Words & incitement kill. From Pittsburgh to Judea Jews are gunned down by hate
Don't allow their deceitful actions silence you.
Speak up for your people and against hate.
Remember, כל הפוסל במומו פוסל
What they accuse you of is really reflection of themselves.
Stand strong and don't be cowed by their vicious hatred

Absolutely incredible to see our history come to life. You "know" but to see & touch & to put in perspective really solidifies the fact that our people & this land are intricately linked for most of human history. The land of Israel and the people of Israel
There is no point in having a conversation with people who truly believe you have no right to exist. No history, no context, no truth matters when the only answer they find acceptable is your exile or your death.
I need to remember this.
People who don't know the history of this country, of this nation, of this conflict, who ignore the fact that we live in a miniscule dot of land amongst dozens & dozens of Arab & Muslim states who actively work towards our destruction despite sharing ancestry have no credibility
Walking through my town and seeing so many Jews from MENA, laughing at the insanity of calling Jews white. We are from here. We will stay here.
Thread (that may be a bad idea):
I guess for some reason I think this needs to be said so here goes. I again had a conversation last night, brief of course, with someone who couldn't understand why I wouldn't vote Trump.
He said "I'm not voting for my kids grandfather, I'm voting for someone to run a country. So he's a complete horror show of a person but he does good things for the country."
I don't really let these conversations go on because I don't have enough time in my life for this. But I guess I have to say it out loud.
Thread: There are people in the Orthodox community who tell me I need to live and let live. But what they haven't understood, and maybe now they can start to understand, is that when you let people live by their own rules they will eventually come for you too.
It starts with the women & children because they're the easiest targets. Don't report sexual abuse, don't let women have authority, when women do start to have influence erase them, show them their place.
Don't believe in science, teach that the authorities are out to get you.
And when people in the community speak up against these practices tell people that they're intolerant, that they are culturally insensitive. Tell them to live and let live, and finally tell them they aren't one of us.
Instead of preparing a future for children, hope of grandchildren , & peace for a nation, the Pal government (whose members live well, have their children treated at top Israeli hospitals & would never send them to die), feeds its ppl a steady diet of hate & expectation of death
They train them to expect to eradicate Israel and take over the entirety of the country.
They raise them on lies, on utterly false hope.
They pay for dead Jews, the more the better.
They don't rule a nation, they rule a death cult of their own making.
According to the Times of Israel, "Three times in one day, the PA’s official television channel carried a broadcast of a song telling mothers that their unborn fetuses will be “martyrs for Palestine,” Palestinian Media Watch claims.
