600 excruciating days in captivity.

These hostages are not just political pawns.

They are divine souls created in God’s image.

Each day they remain in bondage is a stain on the conscience of the world.

Please God, heal them, protect them, and bring them home in peace.

Over 75 neighbors who care about the safety and security of those who live in central Brooklyn D39 showed up on Sunday, ready to table, door-knock, and phone bank because we are fed up with our city councilwoman Shahana Hanif. This is what a local, grassroots, people-powered movement looks like.

As long as we’re throwing out the constitution full stop…might as well get behind this guy again.

Or the gal…💪🏾

Two weeks ago, when Rep Ro Khanna brought up children JD accused him of emotional manipulation.

Today, JD used his 3 year old kid as a shield, accusing protesters of chasing him while with her.

When we hear that someone died, Jewish tradition teaches that the first thing that should leave our lips should be:

Blessed be the Judge of Truth.

But today I see no Truth…

Only shattered families and a devestated nation.

May their memories be blessings to all who knew and loved them.

Australia’s PM condemned a video showing two nurses vowing to kill or refuse treatment to Israeli patients. The female RN claimed that she “won’t treat” and "kill" Israelis. The male RN, who falsely IDed himself as a doctor, said he had “literally sent” Jewish patients to “Jahannam” (hell).

And sending blessings to Pongsak Thenna, Sathian Suwannakham, Watchara Sriaoun, Bannawat Seathao and Surasak Lamnau, who are the five Thai agricultural workers released today. 🇹🇭

Thank you, Jim Acosta. You are a blessing.

An image of Elon Musk making the controversial salute was projected onto Tesla's Gigafactory in Berlin, accompanied by the words "Heil Tesla."

We really should have listened to Kamala.

Trump is demanding an apology from Bishop Budde about her powerful sermon calling for compassion toward marginalized populations.

How about this apology?

Dear FOTUS,

I’m so, so sorry you got elected.

Sincerely,

Me

The ERA stipulates that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

That’s radical gender ideology??

OK…got it.

Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher are officially former hostages.

May they find full healing of body and soul.

Blessed is the one who frees the captive.

The Red Cross through the ICRC are on their way to retrieve the first three hostages. You can cut the tension with a knife.

Hamas has finally released the names of the first hostages to be released as a result of the ceasefire: Emily Damari, 28, Romi Gonen, 24, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31. 🙏🇮🇱🙏

I woke up to this lovely DM on FB. The haters are feeling particular powerful now that the moderation policies have been removed from Meta’s platforms.

Now, my “family” is not only responsible for Gaza & for the California wildfires, we are also culpable for 9/11?

Shabbat shalom, family.

We will also never forget your support of the Uncommitted Movement which very well put Trump back in the White House.
January 10, 2025 at 2:09 PM
Well, then you are uninformed and naive. According to NYPD’s just-released end of year statistics, anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumbered those against all other groups COMBINED in 2024. Shahana supports efforts to “globalizing the intifada.” We will not forget.
