The Imams of Australia released a statement saying that “while this attack has targeted the Jewish community, it is in reality an attack on all of us, including the Muslim community”.
Interesting words here - “in reality it’s an attack on...the Muslim community".

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

Twelve Jews were murdered. Responding by justifying it through ideology is vile.
Nothing about Zionism, Israel, Gaza, or the West Bank excuses Jews being hunted and killed in Australia.
That is collective guilt.
That is antisemitism!!
Condemn the murders.
No Excuses!

A fun thing about the spread of dodgy CICs (fake charities) fundraising outside London stations is… they’re becoming increasingly upset as people slowly learn they’re not charities!
A guy fundraising for ‘homeless veterans with PTSD’: “We’re not like the knife crime CICs, we’re good.”

15 people were killed in an antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday, an act more shocking because of the low gun violence numbers in Australia.

Why are you specifically pointing out that the hero who disarmed a terrorist is Muslim, while simultaneously dismissing the fact that the victims of the terrorist attack were targeted BECAUSE they are Jewish.

Given this morning's anti-semitic attack in Australia, I'm not sure that *Happy* Hanukkah is the right word at the moment, but Chag Urim Sameach to all who celebrate.

On the 1st day of fossils, my true love gave to me...
A Clarkeocrinus troosti.
I only have 1 in my collection. Despite my online handle, it is not named after me. This Devonian crinoid was named after the first New York State Museum Director, John M. Clarke.

My prayers are with the Jewish community worldwide as we mourn the victims of the antisemitic terror attack in Australia. As families mark the start of Hanukkah, no one should have to fear violence for their faith. We must call out antisemitism & stop hate.

Overnight, Russia launched 153 UAVs (Shahed, Herber and others) from multiple directions. Ukraine’s air defenses shot down or suppressed 133 of them across the north, south and east. 17 UAVs struck 10 locations. The attack is ongoing with several drones still in the air.

You all realize that if the massacre in Australia happened to ANY other religious group on one of their biggest holidays, the world would be outraged & calling it terrorism & demanding an end to the “religious persecution”. Yet somehow, when it’s Jewish people, it’s just another day. /1
