I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 recorded a historic peak in antisemitism: 4,694 incidents in 2024.

Up 8.5% from last year.
Up 90% after October 7.

Tired of hearing about antisemitism?
Jews around the world are tired of living it.

After I got all those hateful comments on my post about Jewish women being afraid to give birth in hospitals, I see this Telegraph article.

Jews are right to be worried, but no matter how many times the world proves us right, people still won't believe us.

BDS activists and the French labor union tried to stop the Israel Philharmonic from playing in Paris. They failed.

Paris heard a symphony of coexistence, with Jews, Arabs, and Druze united.

The Israel Philharmonic didn’t just perform, it prevailed. You can’t silence us.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do
