At least 1004 Palestinians killed in the West Bank since US-backed Israeli forces & settlers began escalating violence after 10/7/2023, B’Tselem reports. 217 were children. Several were US citizens.

“In the 21 cases where settlers killed Palestinians, not a single perpetrator has been convicted”

Freshly baked challah, Shabbos candles, and a wood burning fire places.

Shabbat: truly a weekly comfort I am grateful for eveey week.

Also, our Mayor-Elect just called out Israel's genocide, and US support for it, by name, in the Oval Office. With little push back.

Likely a first, under any president.

All I have to add about our Mayor-Elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's visit to the White House, is what I have been saying for a year:
All the Zohran haters need to actually just listen to him.

Not to the media. Not to the talking points, but the actual amazing person I got to know as a friend.

Consistently, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has been clear in his condemnation of antisemitism, publicly and privately.

Also, I've personally seen Zohran’s, and the administration being formed, true and deep appreciation for our New York Jewish community - and commitment for our safety!

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:

Oh my.

They went from "there is a cabad of pedophiles running the deep state." To: we voted for the rapists and pedophiles, and they aren't really pedophiles 🤦‍♀️
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
