Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve safety, freedom, and dignity.

That’s not hate speech.

Opposing any part of this sentence is.
“He's a quality player. He's a big-time player. He's good. He's really good.”

LeBron James on Israeli NBA star Deni Avdija 🏀

Antisemites can hate on Deni all they want. Legends of the game still recognize his talent.

HISTORIC: In Abdanan, Iran, police forces laid down their weapons and joined the protesters.

For the first time in 46 years, the Iranian regime has lost control of a city.

Abdanan is free. It now belongs to the people.

SOLIDARITY: Ahmed Al-Ahmed, who heroically wrestled a gun away from one of the Bondi Beach murderers, visited the resting place of the Rebbe in Queens, NY alongside a Chabad rabbi from Bondi.

The world feels so lonely for Jews, it is critical to remember we are not alone ❤️‍🩹

I’ll never get tired of seeing Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or together again.

After two years of waiting for their freedom and their reunion, every photo feels like a miracle.

For the first time, the Iranian regime has lost control of the town of Abdanan.

Last night, thousands of Iranians took to the streets, standing up to Khamenei’s terror regime.

Iran will finally be free.

BREAKING: The Iranian city of Abdanan has reportedly been completely taken over by protestors and is now within their full control.

Jews are connected to Israel. It’s where our culture was born, and we never stopped living there.

That doesn’t justify targeting random, innocent Jewish people.

Denying our connection to Israel, and murdering us for it, are both acts of antisemitic hate.
January 6, 2026 at 10:25 PM
Collective punishment is bad, except when Jews get murdered.

Killing civilians is unacceptable, except when they’re Jewish kids.

Ethnic groups aren’t a monolith, except that tiny one that celebrates Chanukah.

If you don’t apply your values consistently, you never believed in them at all.

Jews aren’t mourning the victims of antisemitic murders so we can “play victim” or justify Israel.

We are mourning because we are human beings from shattered communities.

We miss our loved ones, families, and friends.

If your “definition of antisemitism” doesn’t include the ways Jews are targeted using Israel as an excuse, it is not relevant to fighting antisemitism today.
January 6, 2026 at 6:40 PM
Antisemitic rhetoric online turns into Jewish blood on the streets 🔁 Each new attack inspires bolder hate speech.

Thoughts and prayers won’t be enough to break the deadly cycle.

Zionism didn’t start in 1948.

It didn’t start in Europe.

It started with Jews praying toward Jerusalem, every day, for centuries.
January 6, 2026 at 5:10 PM
If Jews only arrived in Israel in 1948 after World War II, how is it that the city of Tel Aviv was founded in 1909?

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were required to release all hostages, both living and murdered, by Oct 13, 2025.

It’s now January 6, 2026, and they are still holding Ran Gvili.

These terrorist groups have been violating the ceasefire since the very first day it was signed.

Iran has entered its 10th day of protests, with 29 people killed and 1,203 detained so far.

29 Iranians were killed by Khamenei’s regime simply for daring to demand what Americans already take for granted: basic freedom.

Nova survivor Ziv Abud sat at a table without her partner, Eliya Cohen, for 505 days.

But now, Ziv and Eliya will sit together forever.

In the wake of so much global hate, it’s the stories of love that keep us going ❤️

No better accessory for a $3000 hairstyle than a pin celebrating the murder and mutilation of 2 Jews, right, Hannah?

Stop downloading your opinions from the most out-of-touch people on the planet 🤦‍♂️

BREAKING: Iranian officials told the New York Times that the country’s leaders are in survival mode amid anti-government protests and the possibility of another conflict with the US and Israel.

Anti-Zionists claim that Israel is the reason Jews are attacked in Paris, New York, or London.

They also claim that Jews arrived in Israel only after WWII, in 1948.

So how do they explain the Hebron massacre of 1929?

Jews are not colonizers in Israel 🇮🇱.

How could we be, when we are the indigenous people of this land?

Our language was born here, our traditions are rooted here, our ancestors rest here.

Our story didn’t begin in 1948, and it can’t be erased by 80 years of propaganda.

BREAKING: A hand grenade was found at the entrance of a residential building near a synagogue in Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹.

Jews should not have to risk their lives just to go to synagogue.
January 4, 2026 at 4:09 PM
Israel 🇮🇱 is home to Jews of every color, background, and culture, from the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Anyone calling it “white supremacy” only proves one thing: they’ve never stepped foot in Israel.

Covid
Deadly fires in California
Charlie Kirk’s murder
The US bombing Venezuela

When things go wrong at home, blame Israel. Easy.

Authoritarians, dictators, and their supporters keep finding a convenient scapegoat.

Blaming Jews has always been the oldest political distraction.
