1/ IJV is extremely thankful and relieved that everyone made it out of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, TX alive & unharmed after yesterday's hostage situation. There are many important takeaways that we should all learn from this event. Here are a few of them (thread): 
2/ ➡️ Antisemitism continues to be a violent and threatening force across the world, and we must continue to fight it with all our strength. We must work to make fighting antisemitism part of all of our movements against oppression, discrimination and violence.
3/ ➡️ We must resist calls in our communities to respond to such attacks with more policing. Jewish safety cannot come at the expense of the safety of other communities of colour and Indigenous communities. We must continue to build safety through solidarity, not law enforcement.
➡️ 4/ Some will try to use yesterday's awful events to turn Jewish communities against Muslims. We must resist this & continue to resist Islamophobia. Refuse any attempts to divide Jewish and Muslim communities. When our communities stand side by side, we are strong and resilient
