“Self-defence means not only attacking terrorists but destroying them. When Hamas terrorists hide behind people, behind schools … civilian places lose their protected status because terrorists abuse it,” said Germany's then foreign minister during a parliamentary session marking the anniversary of the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.

"#NewYork’s Festival #Sefarad — which is inspired by the Festival Séfarad de #Montréal, which celebrated its 45th anniversary last month — will include robust programming with more than 40 events, including #Shabbat dinners, #book talks, #tours, #workshops, #films and #concerts.

#NewYorkCity is home to one of the most diverse and dynamic #Jewish communities in the world,” the American #Sephardi Federation, one of the lead organizers of the festival, said in a statement. “After the atrocities of #October7, the need for creating communal, intellectual, and cultural connections that bring all #Jews together has never been greater.”

Lyrics:
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way

...

“Mahatma Gandhi said, “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”

“Peace in every home, every street, every village, every country- this is my dream. Education for every boy and every girl in the world. To sit down on a chair and read my books with all my friends at school is my right. To see each and every human being with a smile of happiness is my wish. I am Malala. My world has changed but I have not.”

“It’s not just the Taliban killing children. Sometimes it’s drone attacks, sometimes it’s wars, sometimes it’s hunger. And sometimes it’s their own family. In June two girls my age were murdered in Gilgit, which is a little north of Swat, for posting a video online showing themselves dancing in the rain wearing traditional dress and headscarves.”

“If Christians, Hindus or Jews are really our enemies, as so many say, why are we Muslims fighting with each other?”

So sick of sending these assholes to holocaust museums and shit. 🙄

"Portnoy, who has been an advocate against #antisemitism since #October7, said that he would find out who was responsible for the sign and force them to “do antisemitism classes” or “whatever it takes to make this right."

The #BarstoolSports founder also said that he had spoken to the staff members responsible for the sign, calling them “one of the dumbest f***ing humans I've ever talked to.”

In an update posted two hours later, Portnoy said that he had tracked down the culprits and was sending them to #Auschwitz to learn about the #Holocaust.

"I've had more hate, more antisemitism in the last year and a half than I've ever had before."
